Photoshop added the “High Resolution” photo enhancement feature, giving it a try to see how terrible it is

In recent updates Adobe has added to Photoshop intelligent features using artificial intelligence. And with the latest version, an updated feature called “Super Resolution” will add more details to your photos like the ‘photo upgrade’ feature in criminal movies. Hollywood!

As explained by Eric Chan from Adobe:

To test the new feature, photographer Michael Clark put up a surfing photo taken from a Nikon D700 with a 12-megapixel resolution, then used “High Resolution” to upgrade it to 48.2 megapixels – That is higher than the resolution of the newer D850 and has a much higher price tag. The final image is more sharp although it has been much ‘stretched’ by the new resolution, which means he can print it out larger.

The way to do it is also quite simple. First, users take the photo to the computer and then bring it to Photoshop through Adobe Camera Raw tool, right-click then choose “Enhance”. A bulletin board will appear, show the user the final result and compare with the original image to see if you are satisfied or not. The feature also tells us how much time it takes to upgrade the image, and then creates a separate image file that is different from the original image.

Compare before and after using the “High Resolution” feature:

The original photo is 4256 × 2832, 100% zoom in Photoshop

Photo after being upgraded has size 8512 × 5664, 100% zoom. This photo can easily be printed at a size of 40 x 60 inches, which previously only models with a resolution of over 40MP could do.

Photoshop’s new feature reaffirms the importance of artificial intelligence to photography. By software, those who own low to medium resolution cameras such as the Nikon Z6 or Fujifilm X-Pro3 will get the same size and sharpness as the Nikon Z7, Sony A7R IV or Nikon. D850.

So what if you want to use this feature to make even bigger ‘already large’ photos from high-resolution cameras? According to Adobe, “High Resolution” can upscale an image to 65,000 pixels in length or 500 megapixels. To try this feature, we will experiment with photos from the Fujifilm GFX 100 with a resolution of 102MP to 376MP.

The original, 11205 × 8404, is huge for the time being

When upgraded, the photo is up to 22409 × 16807 pixels (376MP), the area is 4 times larger than the original photo.

According to Mr. Clark, the end result is ‘impressive to fall jaw’! No matter how much we zoom, we still see sharp images, with no sign of blurring. The “High Resolution” feature seems to work well with cameras with sensors that don’t have anti-aliasing filters like the GFX100, which also have these filters like the Nikon Z6. See results but not as impressive.

This is possibly the most important feature that Adobe adds to Photoshop, offering a free upgrade to all users that would normally cost thousands of dollars to get through replacing an existing camera. use.
