Hi, I have a large image that I am cropping several pieces out of.  In terms of upres'ing these smaller images, Is it best to use LR super resolution and then export the smaller crops (upresing after if nec)?  Or is it best to output from LR and then upres?  What is the best way to upres if after LR?

 

Mac 15.6.1

PS 26.11.0

LR classic 14.5.1

@SRPcashie The best and most flexible workflow is to use Lightroom's Super Resolution on the original, full-sized image first, and then apply your crops to the resulting, larger file. If you decide to export your crops from Lightroom first (due to file size/storage concerns or workflow preference), the best way to upsize them afterward is to use Adobe Photoshop's image resizing

Thanks!

And then if I decide to upres the crops, could you give me some advice on the best way to do that?
