With that said, let's jump in. I'll explain first how to use Super Resolution on its own, then how to apply it to JPEGs, and finally how use it in Adobe's Lightroom software for editing and cataloging photos. Begin the Super Resolution process by opening a raw file. Photoshop will open raw files in the Adobe Camera Raw tool directly. Next, right-click the photo and select the Enhance option. You'll see an Enhanced Preview dialog box with a couple of options to control the process.
First, the Raw Details option Adobe added in improves how raw files are rendered. Below that, make sure you've checked the Super Resolution checkbox. To see the expected results, click and drag to pan around the preview image, or click on the magnifying glass icon to zoom out and then click again on the patch you want to scrutinize.
Next, click the Enhance button and wait. Photoshop shows its estimate for how long the process will take -- several minutes in some cases -- but often it gets done faster in my testing, sometimes just a few seconds to turn 12 megapixel photos into 48 megapixels. After that comes the fine tuning. The resolution of the enhanced image stays the same as the original image. This feature is especially useful for large displays and prints, where fine details are visible.
The supported file types are raw mosaic files from cameras with Bayer sensors Canon, Nikon, Sony, and others and Fujifilm X-Trans sensors.
Super Resolution , introduced in Camera Raw This means that the enhanced image will have 2x the width and 2x the height of the original image, or 4x the total pixel count. Super Resolution is especially useful to increase the resolution of a cropped image. Your computer must meet the following minimum technical specifications to use the Enhance features:. Note: If you're using Lightroom or Lightroom Classic, see:.
In the Enhance Preview dialog box, ensure Raw Details is selected. Click-and-hold the highlighted image area to see how it looked in the original image. You can also click-and-drag the cursor across the preview to see other areas of the image.
Click Enhance to create an enhanced DNG version of your image. The enhanced image uses the same filename as the original and appends Enhanced. Note: You can enhance an image only once, which means you cannot reapply Raw Details to an already enhanced image. At the end of the day, however, Adobe is still the massive gorilla in the photo-editing space and having this tech baked into its flagship photo editor is a big deal. As with any Sensei-based software, Adobe plans to refine the algorithms over time, which should make Super Resolution work even better down the line as an incentive for people to keep those Creative Cloud subscriptions active.

The Super Resolution box gives you a preview of your upgraded image. The remaining spot is the darkest pixel in this image. Take the Color Sampler tool, change the Sample Size to 3 by 3 Average , then point it to one of those remaining spots in this image. Repeat step 4, but this time in the Layer Style window, do the opposite by dragging the black triangle to the right.
Again with the Color Sampler tool, point it to the one of those remaining spots. This time we want to trace the midtones. Repeat step 4, and in the Layer Style window drag the black and white triangles to the center, around However, when we drag it close to Then, with the Sampler Color tool, take a sample from one of those remaining spots. Now target Layer 1, double click it to bring up the Layer Style dialog box, and then reset those triangles to the original post.
Now, with the Sampler tool still active, you should indications as shown below:. You can use actual pixel mode when tracing those spots, to get more accurate results, but in this case, I think what we did before is enough. Now, create a Levels Adjustments layer above layer 1. On the Levels Adjustments window, use the eyedropper to set the black point. Click on the eyedropper, at black, then on Sample 1 that we made previously.
For the midtones, click the eyedropper for gray point, point and click it to Sample 3. And last, click the eyedropper for white point, then point and click Sample 2.
