Is adobestock approves Photoshop upscaled images ? If yes, then which which steps I need to do perfect upscaling Photoshop?

[daniellei4510]

Yes. The best upscaler is Gigapixel AI, but free upscalers are available on the internet. But bear in mind that all upscalers can introduce and will magnify issues such as grain and noise.

Can you tell me what should I do to get approved Photoshop upscaled images?
I mean I need guidance to upscale in Photoshop perfectly

It depends on the upscaler you are using. In Gigapixel AI, you select the size (2x, 4, or 6x) or input your custom size, and click OK. I supposed most work similarly. Some upscalers, like Gigapixel AI, might offer options for photographs or artwork, for example, so what you select depends on the type of image you are upscaling. Otherwise, it's pretty simple. If you have quality images to start with, and if your keep your upscales to a reasonable size (2x, for example), you shouldn't have too many issues. Photographs from a camera usually don't need upscaling in any case. With AI, it's a different story and you need to be careful when it comes to avoiding noise.

When I upscale images using Gigapixel 7, should I set the Sharpen and Denoise options to Auto? Also, I would really appreciate it if you could suggest the ideal settings for the best results.

I do AI mostly, and I rarely play with any settings other than upscale the size. But when I spent a year scanning my negatives, pretty much the same thing. If you can affored it, I'd upscale to 8. It pretty much does all the guess work for you using AI...denoise, sharpening, etc.

As always: the result depends on your input. You need to test the different parameters and choose what works best for you. However, you should note, that upscaling is no miracle solution to your problems. If your input is bad, your output will be bad too.

Thank you so much

Upscaling is a mixed bag of tricks. If you're too heavy-handed with it, you'll likely make your images worse, not better.

Start with a high resolution product.  Don't attempt to upscale small, low-resolution images. In the absence of usable pixel data, upscaling just introduces unwanted noise & artifacts.

Experiment and carefully examine results at 100-300% magnification. 

If the upscaled results aren't good, discard and try again at lower settings.

Rinse, lather, repeat.

I should mention, what I like best is that Gigapixel creates a new layer with the upscale. If something gets overly sharpened,, like hair, irises, fingernails, bushes, I mask out those areas to reveal the original. It might just be my imagination, but the original is also sharpened, but to a lesser degree.
