Adobe’s newest version of Photoshop comes with an intriguing feature in the Camera Raw, Super Resolution dialog box, which promises to leverage trained machine learning on millions of images to increase image size and quadruple its original resolution. Does he keep his promise? This excellent video shows the new tool and its performance in the real world.
Coming from Brian Matiash, this great video takes a look at Adobe’s new Super Resolution feature, which promises to double the number of pixels in horizontal and vertical dimensions, thus quadrupling the overall resolution – a literal “enhance” button. This feature has a wide range of potential uses. Wildlife or sports photographers, who often need to crop photos significantly, can use it to recover details in the images. People photographing with low resolution sensors can use it to produce large prints. Landscape photographers can use it simply to add more details to a photo. After being trained on millions of images, it appears that the tool has great potential and could end up becoming a popular resource for a wide range of photographers. Check out the video above to see all of Matiash’s ideas about the new feature.
