Regardless of this 'enlargement' upgrade , , , |I feel sorry for all of those who 'rent' their Photoshop from Adobe, instead of owning an older copy not encumbered by expensive monthly fees. CS-6 works just fine folks. ~ You can keep your over-priced upgrades Adobe.
I did upgrade to the latest version of Raw. My images are saved out of my astronomical camera as tiffs. In bridge the open in camera raw is greyed out. Same for png files. Is this is a limitation or am I doing something wrong? Thanks
Consider this. At a resolution of 8K (7680x4320) is optimal for a 36"x24" print-out. After that is artifacting in the print. So depending on how large you want your prints, you better have a generous setup. I'd recommend no smaller than a 32" 4K TV or monitor to work with editing. I will add you will want a 100% sRGB accuracy monitor like an AU Optronics. BenQ uses their screens. Best color accuracy in the world.
Many thanks for showing us the latest upgrade and features. The comparison was awesome. Looking forward to using it on Nature/Landscapes. As always a very informative video.
Wow, what a difference... I'm new to PS navigating the maze of supreme amazing functionality. All 'Mind blowing', but slowly getting there. Need to learn the tools, the basics, yr videos, style, communication helps immensely. Many thanks.
Super excited about this super resolution Colin. Very soon I'll need to produce basketball team photos suitable for printing on a 4x7 foot banner, so I'm looking forward to giving this a try. Thanks for the great comparison!
Great Stuff Colin. Any chance you can show us how to apply this to jpegs of png files. -in baby steps? I can't seem to figure out how to do it outside of raw files. thank you
Anyway, I'm making side by side comparisons with the Photoshop Preserve Details 2.0 and the new future in ACR is really similar with that PS algorithm. Great feature implemented into ACR but nothing new, still need 3rd part plug-ins to get really great results.
Very good video and shows how this new feature is an improvement over the Preserve Details 2.0. I wonder how it compares to the AIGigapixels sizing plugin?
Great post. I find that most of the AI programs, while making the photos larger, make them look a tad surreal or cartoonish. Looking forward to try this !
@@photoshopcafe I've been told that the super res keeps de image less "fake", while enhancing significantly the image quality, compared to the Giga pixel "somtimes too much" algorithm.
Hi good sir. I don't know if you've try this, but just in case: if you use this super res feature, and then reduce the size of the image once you open photoshop to its original dimensions, will the image have still better image quality than the "original", even having the same dimensions?
I've been wanting to learn more about this -- thanks for the great demo. QUESTION - if you do the enhance, does it increase the size physically also, if you are making a print? OR, if you are then going to make a print, and potentially print it at a smaller size -- will it still be alot sharper? Still trying to wrap my head around it. Hope you can answer here. :)
Yes it does. More pixels equals larger dpi (dots per inch), which makes the image print-out larger. example: 1800x1200 resolution (1800dpi by 1200dpi) is the best quality suggested for a 4 inch by 6 inch photo print-out. You can get away with 1920x1080 resolution (aka 1080p) at 4x6 for a print-out. Nearly perfect quality. So if you use this super resolution (super-sampling) to double the resolution to 3840x2160 (4K) you get a nearly perfect printout at 8x12 inches.
This is a god send for me as not having much money to buy the latest camera, I recently bought a second hand, mint condition, Nikon D300s with only 8000 shutter count on it (still a baby!), it's a 12.2MP camera...not anymore! ;)
Just updated my PS but now all my plugin filters ie Luminar and Nic not working so rolled back to version 22.2 and they all work must be cliché in Photoshop
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. When you run the enhance feature it doubles the pixel size of your file (and you can see the increased size in the size information at the bottom of the screen) -- for example, 1000 x 2000 becomes 2000 x 4000. When I run this feature the pixel size remains the same (the size information at the bottom of the screen does not change). I've tried this with RAW files, JPEGS, and TIFS and I get the same results. I've tried it opening files from Bridge and from my external drives and I get the same result. If you have any thoughts about this, I would greatly appreciate them. Many thanks.
It creates a new file and places it next to the original. The original is unchanged, look for the new file called "enhanced" I thought I showed that on the video?
I figured it out. I had the "Resize to Fit" button activated with a specific size specified. Once I turned that off the enhanced feature worked perfectly.
I would do it before, but I don't see why it wouldn't work after editing also. I did some extreme testing from a 640x426px image and was able to apply super resolution 2 times for total of 16x more pixels (2560x1704 pixels, I tried to upscale one more time but it wasn't really looking any better). I compared to the original at same size and while the upscaled version cannot beat it, it was a MASSIVE improvement compared to the low resolution image I started with. This tool is going to be amazing for those tightly cropped shots. I noticed that applying a bit of noise to the parts that have details before the second upscaling helped (works wonders on ground and other textured surfaces), it fools both your eye and the AI to make it seem like there is more detail than there actually is. Also, making couple of layers with 1px and 2px of gaussian blur with ~20% of opacity each helped; applying super resolution increases edge sharpness a lot and it starts to look really harsh on the second run without some smoothening. Anyways, I was able to get better looking results in all sizes doing it like this, rather than just running the super resolution once. It's a bit of hassle though.
Hi, thanks for the video. I'm following your steps and after clicking 'enhance' it looks like it's stuck on 114.1% and not budging. What's the problem?
Great vid! Thanks for going through it all. I wonder how much a small photo could be enlarged if you did 2X enhance first, and then brought it into Photoshop for the Bicubic.
I couldn't imagine any more than four times up sampling without photo Distortion and data loss or corruption. This is using the same Ai learning that RTX 30-series cards use to up-sample old videos. There are limitations.
Thanks for the the tip Colin to ENHANCE more than one image with a single command. I am wondering why does your title say "ENLARGE your photos 4X", Super Resolution only enhance 2X times. What am I missing?
AI's Preserve Details 2.0 is especially great if you play with the Noise Reduction slider underneath, or at least choose "Automatic" as an algorithm so that Photoshop automatically determines the Noise Reduction for "Preserve Details 2.0". Overall, it should work better than Camera RAW's depending on the subject matter.
so I got a question, what's better: first make your edits in for example Lightroom and photoshop and get your picture done and THEN let it upscale via bridge. Or first upscale the picture and then make your adjustments in Lightroom and Photoshop?
Colin, do you need a M1 mac for supersizing? My mac from 2019 tells me that wit enhancing in phototoshop my OS system or grapic card need to be updated to the latest version. How to do that?
Will this sharpen similar to the topaz jpeg to raw program? I have been thinking of getting the topaz to convert old jpegs I have from England I took before I started shooting everything in raw format. I would rather use this to enlarge and sharpen them. Can you compare the two?
Nice if all you want to do is view the images in PS but fail to see how I can then place it in PS to use with my plugins. If I convert it using an outside program it actually ends up being a smaller file.....whats the point if I cannot use the enhanced version to do further work in PS CC ?
This only works well on relatively new digital photos taken in the last 10 years. If you try it on a tiny 300px x 600x image from the early 2000's it still looks like crap lol
I have Creative Cloud and All apps are up to date, but when I right click on an image in Bridge there is no option for "Open in Camera Raw". I'm working on a PC, but I don't see how that would matter. Collin are you using a Beta version of PhotoShop?
@@EyClausShorts Actually mp is not resolution but Pixel count. You will get 48mp out of an 12 mp image , which equals a 100 dpi image turning into a 200 dpi image. The tricky thing is that mp (mega pixel) is an absolute value (fixed number of pixel) while dpi (dots per inch) is a relative value ( pixel PER inch). resolution is counted in one dimension only (linear inch) while mp is covering the whole surface (2 dimensions). So 2x the resolution equals 4x the pixel count (mp). smarting
PSA: You have to open Camera Raw from Bridge for this to work. It will NOT work if you open as a filter from Photoshop (Sane as crop and straighten)/
Great information Colin. I was wondering why I couldn't use this feature lol
might want to change the video title

Solved. Only works with raw files. Open file in Bridge, export to DNG then click on the exported image in dialog box then in Bridge you go to raw
Can't wait to try it on some of my astro images, will certainly expand the range of my telephoto lens!
Have fun!
Thanks for a very informative video, this feature will be brilliant for wildlife photography
totally loving this new way
Thank you so much Colin for the very helpful tutorial and the great tips! God bless you and good luck!

@@photoshopcafe That's right! I'll write myself a note or I'll never remember. I have the memory retention of a squirrel... 😆

Thanks Colin. Can’t wait to use PS on the new Mac. I’ve been waiting for better fast enlargements as I’m a crop monster for my work. Thanks as always.
You’ll Love this then

Great feature. Will test. Thanks for showing.
fantastic!!
Thank you! Cheers!
very nice!
Looks like it is going to be a useful tool. Thanks, Colin for getting us up to speed.
thanks for sharing, very useful !
This feature will be brilliant for me because I still use a Canon EOS 40D camera a don’t have full frame.
Thanks for another great tutorial 👍
There's no enhance option when I right click?
This is nice, thanks.
Thank you for this tutorial. Will use the techniques in my next project.
Very nice feature, thanks for the info.
Never thought I would hear Photoshop advices from Tom Lee Jones , but super video overall 👌🏼
I have used this with varying degrees of success. You must have a very sharp photo for this so come out well.
Very good video and shows how this new feature is an improvement over the Preserve Details 2.0. I wonder how it compares to the AIGigapixels sizing plugin?
no idea.
Great!
Thank you.

First video I've watched from you good content just subscribed
I'll definitely be using this for any portraits and landscapes that I want to particularly standout. Amazing new feature.
Compared to Topaz Gigapixel PShop SuperRez is not as clean/clear on lower res sections, but appears to be faster
Very much looking forward to using this! Thank you for sharing.
wow thank you!!
Love it..... Will try it today......
Wowzers
Wow! Any idea why its hidden in Bridge? Doesnt make sense. Anyway, great stuff. Have you compared to Topaz Gigapixel?

And I smell another video for you, Colin. Compare Super Resolution and Gigapixel.
I I just had Gigapixel lol
@@photoshopcafe Indeed, does not Gigapixel have a trial period? I would think you would want to be first in what is going to be a very popular video!
I'd like to see zoomed in comparison of the original vs super resolution.
Priceless! 🙌🏻⚡️🎉💻💪🏻💯

I don’t use Bridge. I access PS from LR Classic. How do you access Enhance?
Enhanced details 2.0 has the noise option, this will help but you loose some details about 4-5% is quite nice i think
Is this as good as Gigapixel from Topaz. wonder the comparison? SuperRes is certainly better than Bicubic in PS.
I have a couple I want to enlarge as of Oct.1,2021. I'll let you know how the come out using Super Size Bicubic, or the best Ps. has at this time.
awsome
Could you technically also use this for blowing up your artwork to a larger scale for a larger format, such as mural or big posters ?
I've the latest photoshop but don't seem to have super resolution? Do you need to download something ?

5:40 - they announced it as "double resolution" which equals 4x size as it size increases by square to the resolution.
You are right. I guess they said "double" because you can get a 24mp image out of an 12mp image.
