camera raw 13.2 not showing Super Resolution

I updated today and have checked 13.2 installed but no Super Resolution or Enhance options available.

    This topic has been closed for replies.
    Correct answer Conrad_C

    If you still aren’t seeing the Enhance command in Camera Raw 13.2 or later…are you:

    A) Opening a file in Camera Raw hosted by Photoshop

    B) Opening a file in Camera Raw hosted by Bridge

    C) Selecting a layer in Photoshop and choosing Filter > Camera Raw Filter

     

    The Enhance command will appear in A and B.

    Enhance will not appear in C; it’s one of those few Camera Raw features you can’t apply to a layer in Photoshop using Camera Raw as a filter. You have to open the file in Camera Raw directly, not as a layer in a Photoshop document.

     

    If you want to apply Super Resolution to a non-raw file, change Camera Raw preferences in the File Handling panel to open TIFF and JPEG/HEIC images in Camera Raw, and open your image that way.

    Hi,

     

    I did updates to both PS and my Macbook pro and when I open an image in bridge> enhance it gives me a pop up window that says my graphic card needs to suport metal.

    I checked and it does so i'm kinda cunfussed.

     

    Can anyone help.

    There may be an issue with the camera setting when capturing the RAW setting! Else you may look for a better camera. Read best camera reviews on different blogs to know the best camera which can make raw quality!

    One of the problems I'm encountering is that the actual steps to get Camera Raw to show Enhanced Resolution are unclear and seem inconsistent. I have been able to use ER with Camera Raw sometimes. But, at others, it doesn't show up, even though I think I'm going through the same steps.

     

    Here's what I know:

    • I've set my prefs to open ALL tifs and jpgs.
    • I can't use ER if I first open the image in Photoshop and then go to Camera Raw. I must open it directly into Camera Raw. Is that correct? If so, sometimes when I follow this step, right-clicking on the image does not show the Enhanced Resolution choice in the menu.

    So, am I missing a step? The process as I've outlined seems inconsistent to me.

      The super resolution is only available from Bridge and not if you open a file fom Lightroom (Classic). After opening in Camera raw directly I got the menu with the super resolution. After running yhe super resolution and opening it in Photoshop worked. Only LRC refused to import the JPG files which were exported through PS? I think some bug fixing is still to be done.

      The option will only be available when there is RAW Data available.  I would think, if use Use ACR as a Filter or  to open a JPEG of TIFF file with ACR there will not be any RAW Sensor data available how could ACR save a DNG file with RAW data with mosaic raw image data.

      The Enhance command is available for TIFF and JPEG files because Super Resolution is not limited to raw data. The screen shot below shows a JPEG image opened in Camera Raw (after enabling TIFF/JPEG support), with Super Resolution about to be applied.

       

      There are two parts to the Enhance command: Raw Details (the old Enhance Details feature), and the new Super Resolution feature. If you are thinking about Raw Details, then you are correct, that cannot be done to a non-raw file, so Raw Details is disabled as shown in the screen shot. But although Super Resolution might work best with raw data, it does not require a raw image, so it is available as shown.

      DNG can be a container format, so the data in it doesn’t have to be raw. Camera Raw and Lightroom have already used this capability in the past. For example, if you use that software to merge TIFF or JPEG images as a panorama, the resulting file is DNG. And the Convert to DNG commmand in Lightroom Classic works when non-raw files are selected.

            That was it Conrad - thanks for clearing it up. I opened a RAW file from my camera and it worked.

            Same problem here (German Win64, CR 12.3). My "...more" menu looks much smaller. 

            Am I missing something here?

              Perhaps its the US keyboard amd American English I'm using. Your menu has fewer items for sure.  Report it to Adobe on their Feedback site feedback.photoshop.com
