Once I upsized the image using the Super Resolution feature, I zoomed into the resulting image and was very impressed.

The new Enhanced image upsized using the Super Resolution feature at 8512×5664 pixels shown at 100% in Adobe Photoshop. The Original image at 4256×2832 pixels shown at 100% in Adobe Photoshop.

And at 48MP I could easily blow this up to a 40×60 inch print just as with any image captured using my 45MP Nikon D850.

The higher-res image looks absolutely amazing. The top image is the lower resolution (original) version and the bottom image is the one that went through the Super Resolution process. The screenshots below show this enlargement. In my testing, as shown below, it took this old 12MP image from 4256×2832 pixels to 8512×5664 pixels. ACR starts working in the background immediately to build the new image file and it eventually appears right next to the original file you selected wherever that one is stored. Once you are ready simply click the Enhance button in the lower right-hand corner. The dialog will give you an estimate on how long it will take to create the new Enhanced image, which will show up as a separate image file. Backed by this vast training set, Super Resolution can intelligently enlarge photos while maintaining clean edges and preserving important details.Ī dialog window will come up so you can see how the image will look and you can also toggle back and forth between the original image and the new Enhanced version. “Enlarging a photo often produces blurry details, but Super Resolution has an ace up its sleeve: an advanced machine learning model trained on millions of photos.

The term ‘Super Resolution’ refers to the process of improving the quality of a photo by boosting its apparent resolution,” Chan explains. Super Resolution builds on a technology Adobe launched two years ago called Enhance Details, which uses machine learning to interpolate RAW files with a high degree of fidelity, which resulted in images with crisp details and fewer artifacts. The PetaPixel article on this new feature quoted Eric Chan from Adobe: The new Super Resolution feature in ACR essentially upsizes the image by a factor of four using machine learning, i.e. I have seen a bit of reporting out there on this topic from the likes of PetaPixel and Fstoppers, but other than that the ramifications of this new feature in ACR have not been widely promoted from what I can see.
