P: AI Sharpening

Report · Jul 29, 2023

It would be great to see some AI features that some Adobe competitors have started to adopt. I would love to see and AI Sharpening tool similar to the AI Denoise. Also, given that Lightroom Classic is such a great organizational tool, I would also love to see an AI Culling feature where the program could analyze and sort by features such as pictures being in focus, with the best exposure, and whether a subject's eyes are closed. Competitors such as "Aftershoot" are beginning to incorporate such features into their products. I'd rather be able to get it all in one place.

LR already provides Enhance > Raw Details, which is included in Denoise. It's an AI algorithm that "produces crisp detail, improved color rendering, more accurate renditions of edges, and fewer artifacts. Raw Details is especially useful for making large prints, where fine details are more visible."

It would be good to see a comparison of Raw Details and the AI sharpening of competitors to which you referred. Perhaps you could provide some screenshots showing the differences?

i do a lot of sport action photos and it would speed up my workflow if i could do ai sharpening in camera raw

Hi, AI remove/generate is pretty usefull, and I find it strange that LR hasn't added an AI unblur/sharpen tool yet.

2 use cases for me are selfies (front facing phone cameras are usually not very good in low light) and video calls screenshots where my family member faces are soft/pixelated). Of course it could also help save some images where focus was missed, but it wouldn't be my first need.

In both cases, I can improve it a bit with the google photo app directly on my samsung phone, but you have to do it on the phone before moving pictures to LR, and you don't have much control over it (sometimes it does a good job on a face, but messes up something else in the frame)

I also tried Topaz with mixed results, it was very good on some images (better than the google unblur tool), but not so much on others, and the workflow (sending image to topaz and back to LR) is not very user friendly.

Hope that this can be added soon, that would be a great tool to improve/save some images.

Hi my post has been merged as a comment here but I don't think it's the exact same topic, as the author is talking about Denoise and I'm requesting an "unblur" / "fix focus" tool, similair to what is available on the google photo app or Topaz Sharpen AI.

Also, the Enhance denoise works pretty well on RAW pictures but is not available for jpegs yet, and most images for which I would like to be able to improve focus are either jpegs or screenshot from video calls on my phone.

Not sure how to tag Rikk Flohr who moved my post as he hasn't talked here. @johnrellis do you know if I have a way to reach him to double check if my message can and should be moved back as a separate post ?

Nevrermind, I read again the post and OP is actually requesting AI sharpening too (only says similair to denoise) so I guess I'm in the right place.
