So, could you take a high resolution photo and enlarge that to insane sizes? Yes, yes you can, though it does currently have an upper limit of 65000 pixels on the long side and 500 megapixels, which seems pretty reasonable (though I am sure there are some who will want more, don’t we always?). Results in a DNG file that you can edit as you would any photo.Essentially a very intelligent digital enlargement (powered by machine learning).Eric Chan, one of the super geniuses that works on the ACR team has a super informative article that explains it way better than I can, so take it from him. Super Resolution is an evolution of the Enhanced Details functionality (they renamed it Raw Details) that allows one to enlarge a low resolution photo to a resolution four times its original size (meaning that the vertical resolution doubles as does the horizontal resolution). Unfortunately, at the time of this writing, Lightroom 10.1.1 does not seem able to import these new super resolution files. So, until that day comes I thought I’d look at how a Lightroom Classic user could try out this new Super Resolution feature in ACR, by starting in LrC. When will it happen? Adobe doesn’t announce those things in advance, but I’d have to think it will be around the corner. Typically, ACR gets updated at the same time as Lightroom Classic and Lightroom, but that didn’t happen this time.


In case you missed it, Photoshop and Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) got a new update.
