Photoshop’s New AI-Powered Upscaler is Amazing (VIDEO)
Today’s six-minute tutorial from VerticDesigns demonstrates Photoshop’s amazing new AI Generative Upscaler that quickly transforms enlarged photos from pixelated to perfect like never before. It’s a must-watch video whether you’re a beginner or a more experienced user.
Our unnamed British instructor’s YouTube channel has over 27 million views, and he introduces today’s episode like this: “I’ll walk you through exactly how it works, provide real-time results, and compare before/after examples. It uses AI enhancements to fix, sharpen, and improve any lost details when upscaling as much as 400%.
There are a couple key considerations, the first of which is that the absolute minimum size of the image has to be at least 128×128 pixels. And the maximum enlargement is 4096×4096 pixels. It’s also important to note that this game-changing tool is currently in the Beta version of Photoshop, and you’ll learn the simple steps for installing it.
Once you’re all set up, the first step before you upscale is expanding the original shot using the Crop tool in combination with a keyboard shortcut until you reach the recommended dimensions. Then set fill to Generative Expand and click the Generate button, and Photoshop automatically fills in the empty gaps.
You’ll learn how to make any necessary refinements as the lesson proceeds, and it’s all so simple that we won’t intrude by summarizing the technique further. Just pay attention to the clear illustrations and simple adjustments and then add this transformative technique to your everyday Photoshop workflow. Perfect enlargements will be yours forever more.
There’s a variety of shooting and editing how-to videos available on the VerticDesigns YouTube channel, so be sure to take a close look when you have time to explore.
We also recommend watching the earlier tutorial we featured with another British post-processing expert who demonstrates a unique Lightroom technique for creating photographs with perfect white balance without image-killing color casts.
