P: No longer can run Enhance > Super Resolution on JPEGs, TIFFs, & PSDs converted from Denoise

LrC 14.3 Release Enhance no longer allows me to use Enhance Super-Resolution on TIFF files. Before upgrading to 14.3, I was able to convert a DNG file to TIFF and then apply Enhance Super-Resolution to the TIFF file.  What changed? Was that a "bug" that was fixed, because I really liked that "bug".

    I've been having the same issue ever since these last2 updates and now it is disrupting my work flow. If someone knows how to solve this issue please post.

      The workaround is to use SR via Camera RAW. Run Denoise on the original RAW, open the DNG and save to TIFF, open the TIFF via Bridge into ACR, run SR enhance. This works as long as the Technology Preview that doesn't create a separate DNG is not enabled.

      Thank you for the report @rreitzammer  and the repro steps, @johnrellis. I've logged a ticket to look into this.

        I'm seeing the same thing, the previous version allowed Super Resolution on PSD files as well.

         

        My workflow for older files is:

        Enhance noise reduction

        Open the resulting dng

        Save as PSD

        Enhance SR

        Retouch that second dng file.

         

        This has worked well for the thousands of older lower-res RAW files I have (Sony A100, A700 especially.) Now, SR enhance is greyed out. EXIFTool shows that Enhance NR has been applied but nothing about SR.

         

        FWIW, If you use the Technology Preview in ACR to enhance RAW files without creating a dng, this whole workflow has been broken for a while.

        Nothing changed as far as I can tell. I can still use Super Resolution on a TIFF file in Lightroom Classic 14.3 on my Mac.

        @rreitzammer, 

        I am able to confirm what @JohanElzenga. I tested it out on my end and was still able to use Super Resolution on a tiff in Lightroom Classic 14.3. Can you share more about what you're seeing? A screen recording and/or error message would be helpful for us to troubleshoot on our end. Please also share what your OS version is.

        Number one and number three are as expected. You never could AI Denoise a TIFF. You should be able to use Super Resolution on a TIFF however (and you confirm you still can do that if the TIFF is not created from a denoised DNG), so if that is no longer possible if the TIFF was created from a denoised DNG, then that indeed has changed. I assume Lightroom reads in the metadata that the TIFF was produced from denoised pixels, so maybe stripping the metadata might be a solution. Or use the super resolution option in Photoshop's neural filters.

        LR 14.3 broke the ability to run Enhance > Super Resolution on JPEGs, TIFFs, and PSDs converted from Denoise DNGs. To reproduce:

         

        1. Download and uncompress this catalog:

        https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/pjgor4z28ferupglumyjm/super-resolution-bug.2025-05-03.zip?rlkey=opc65kpd9cnqd9dspjpfa0o7j&dl=0

         

        It contains a raw, a DNG created by Denoise from that raw, and JPEGs, TIFFs, and PSDs converted from the DNG two ways, using LR's Export and using LR's Edit In Photoshop.  The files have perspicuous names (see the table below).

         

        One of the TIFFs, test-Enhanced-NR-export-stripped.tif, has had these two metadata fields removed using Exiftool: 

        XMP:EnhanceDetailsAlreadyApplied

        XMP:EnhanceDenoiseAlreadyApplied

         

        2. Open the catalog in LR 14.2.

         

        3. Select each of the JPEGs, TIFFs, and PSDs in turn and observe that Enhance > Super Resolution is available (not greyed out).

         

        4. Open the catalog in LR 14.3.

         

        5. Select each of the JPEGs, TIFFs, and PSDs and observe that Enhance > Super Resolution is greyed out, with the message "Enhance cannot be applied on the selected photo".  Two exceptions are the files not containing the XMP fields described in step 1, test-Enhanced-NR-export-stripped.tif and test-Enhanced-NR-ps.jpg. (Photoshop's Export As command always strips nearly all metadata from exported JPEGs.)

         

        Here's a summary comparing the availability of Super Resolution in LR 14.2 and 14.3:

          Enhanced batch worked perfectly fine until around 2 weeks ago, all my apps are upto date, computer was running the app with no issues. Can I solve this ??? un installed, flattened and rebuilt mac, re installed, still the same. costing me many hours extra in processing now.
