Create High Quality Upscaled Image with AI in Photoshop

Generative Upscaling

When you need to enlarge images beyond their original resolution, try the new Generative Upscale feature in Photoshop, which uses AI to intelligently reconstruct detail rather than simply interpolate pixels. The process is straightforward:

1. Choose Image > Generative Upscale.
2. In the resulting dialog box, choose your scale factor (up to 8 megapixels total, at the moment).
3. Click Upscale.

I tested this with a heavily compressed 800-pixel-wide image (Figure 1). After 3x upscaling, the result (Figure 2) was notably better than traditional upscaling methods, although I did notice some softness in fine details. The current beta version has a 4096-pixel limit on any single dimension, but this will likely increase in future updates. 

The feature is still evolving, but it already produces better results than traditional methods, especially for images with fine details and textures.
