Generative Upscale now in Photoshop Beta!

[Noelle5D22]

We are excited to share that Generative Upscale is now in Photoshop Beta! Powered by Firefly, you can now increase the resolution, preserve detail and remove artifacts while increasing the size of an image. Functionality is limited for this release as we continue to test and refine the model, but we are eager to learn from users early on! Some things to note about the feature:

1. Size and ratio limitations: Max output is currently limited to 4096 pixels and/or a max 1:4 ratio for width and height.
2. Low-resolution: This model is best suited for low resolution images
3. Output: Output is limited by size and ratio. If your projected output exceeds these limits, the button to upscale will be grayed out. Otherwise, upscaled images will be output to a new document. Note that if an image’s projected output is beyond the max limit, try using Image Size (Image > Image Size) to reduce the original size of the image before upscaling
4. Credits: in the Beta period, Generative Upscale will not deduct credits
5. Incompatible Color Modes: Indexed, Multichannel, Bitmap, Duotone, Grayscale. If an image is in one of the non-supported color modes above, convert to RGB before using Generative Upscale. To do this, go to Image > Mode > RGB Color
6. 32-bit is currently not supported (as with all Generative features)

How to test the feature:

1. Download the latest beta application (Beta 26.10 or later)
2. Open the feature from Image > Generative Upscale
3. Select desired output scale (2x, 3x, or 4x)
4. If output is within the limits of the feature, select upscale
5. Upscaled image will be output in a new document

Let us know what you think!

see if this is better

Thanks! The middle image is already the Neural Filter Super Zoom at the size that I roughly need it, I was hoping the new upscale would save time and I wouldn't have to double process it. I guess it is a beta, so we'll see how well the final version works.

I tried cleaning up the image in Google AI, this is what it came up with (original attached as well) in about 2 seconds.

Oh wow, that looks way better with gemini

Will the non-beta versions open up it's size limitations? 4000px seems way too low for real use cases. Most images are already that kind of size or larger by itself so won't allow any upscale to happen.

[Jena31657898le31]

You have to resize the image smaller before you can do the generative upscale. Then it makes it 2X bigger than what you resized it to. As of now the 4X is not working on my Beta--it says it will be too big--strange.

Ok seems a little counter-intuitive though as the purpose is to have a bigger image. If we shrink then size back up, then we just get the same size image. Might be due to it being beta and testing I guess.

[Jena31657898le31]

Yes, you get the same size but the image looks a lot better, in my opinion. At least for the reason I am using it for (for images of the bracelets I sell)
