Hi all, 

I was searching through posts about upres in LR and PS and was wondering what the latest guidelines would be for upres'ing a high res raw file.  Are other 3rd party apps still better then Adobe's?  

Thanks, 

 

Mac Sequoia 15.5

LR 14.3.1

PS 26.7.0

Hi Srishti, How would you go from LR so that the edits to the image are applied to the raw file and go into Super Resolution?  Do you choose the resolution or is it automatically 2x the resolution?

Currently, there isn’t an option to select the resolution. It automatically scales the image dimensions linearly by 2x in both width and height.

I haven’t used the third party apps so I don’t know if they’re better, but if you’re starting from a raw file, the best Adobe option is probably the Super Resolution option in the Detail panel in Camera Raw/Lightroom. That is a 2x upscale that uses machine learning/AI to enhance details using the original raw data.

 

All other options, especially in Photoshop (Super Zoom, Image Size resampling, etc.) either use the older, simpler algorithms such as Bicubic instead of machine learning, or aren’t using the original raw data.
