I updated today and have checked 13.2 installed but no Super Resolution or Enhance options available.

This topic has been closed for replies.

Correct answer Conrad_C

If you still aren’t seeing the Enhance command in Camera Raw 13.2 or later…are you:

A) Opening a file in Camera Raw hosted by Photoshop

B) Opening a file in Camera Raw hosted by Bridge

C) Selecting a layer in Photoshop and choosing Filter > Camera Raw Filter

The Enhance command will appear in A and B.

Enhance will not appear in C; it’s one of those few Camera Raw features you can’t apply to a layer in Photoshop using Camera Raw as a filter. You have to open the file in Camera Raw directly, not as a layer in a Photoshop document.

If you want to apply Super Resolution to a non-raw file, change Camera Raw preferences in the File Handling panel to open TIFF and JPEG/HEIC images in Camera Raw, and open your image that way.

I have the same issue. And where are you finding the ...more options?

I have the same issue. Adobe (and everyone else) just blithely presents it as "just open up your photo, even your old low-res photos or iPhone photes, right click and hit "enhance."

Well, it doesn't do that. The alleged right-click menu never appears. I have the latest PS, latest OS, etc. etc.

There is much more to it than that, it seems, many pre-requisites, but you can't find them anywhere in any other these forums or articles. Everything assumes that you are not going to the right places or doing the right thing. But we are. The menu simply doesn't appear.

The only real prerequisite is that the file be opened directly in the latest version of Camera Raw.

When the Enhance command is not available, the #1 reason is that someone opened the image in Photoshop first, then chose Filter > Camera Raw Filter. But Enhance is one of several Camera Raw features that is not available when Camera Raw is used as a Photoshop layer filter. Enhance is one of those features that works only when an image is opened directly in Camera Raw first, hosted by either Photoshop or Bridge.

The Apply Super Resolution section in the Adobe help article Improve image quality using Camera Raw seems to be complete; the Notes section there lists all the exceptions. Just about every time, when it isn’t working, someone is running into one of those exceptions.
