Increase image resolution with Generative Upscale
In Adobe Lightroom, you can easily improve the resolution of your photos using Generative Upscale, powered by Topaz. It analyzes your photo to enhance detail, creating sharper images with image quality intact.
Right-click the photo and select Enhance with AI > Generative Upscale. You can also access Generative Upscale from the Photo > Enhance with AI menu.
In the Generative upscale dialog box, select the desired output scale (2x or 4x).
Select Create stack to group the upscaled and the original photos in a stack. Stacks are currently supported only in the Cloud.
Select Upscale. You can view the progress in the upper-left corner of the header bar. Once complete, you'll find the generated image in the stack or next to the original image in the Filmstrip.
Note
Generative Upscale consumes credits depending on the upscaled file's output size. If the chosen scale factor exceeds a model’s limit, reduce it or resize the image.
