The camera will capture the photo at a specific resolution, but can artificial intelligence improve its resolution after taking the picture? Adobe not only said that it is possible, but proved it with three updates. On Tuesday, February 12th, Adobe started updating Lightroom Classic, Lightroom CC, and Camera RAW. With this function you can improve the resolution by up to 30%.
Enhance Details is a tool that uses A.I. to improve the details and clarity of images using demosaicing processing. Accurately understanding how the software can improve resolution - and actually improving quality at the same time - requires a little background on how the camera sensor works. The camera sensor uses layers of red, green, and blue color filters placed in either Bayer or X-Trans patterns to read colors in the scene. The camera averages the colors of the surrounding RGB patterns and colors each pixel. This is a process called demosaicing process.

Adobe's Enhance Details tool uses a convolution neural network in the form of A.I. during the demosaicing process. The algorithm (for Bayer sensor, Fujifilm X-Trans) is trained to handle the most tricky part of the image with the most detail and texture. As a result, according to Adobe, this algorithm can generate better detail while coping with problems such as color shift, moiré, soft edge, etc. and can improve resolution up to 30%.
This update requires the latest operating system from MacOS 10.13 or later or Windows 10 (1809) or later and RAW files are linear RAW converted, merged HDR or panorama, smart proxy, loosely compressed DNG, or 1.1 compatible It can not be DNG. According to Adobe, this process is intense, so expect that on slow machines on the GPU, it will take some time for the image to be processed. According to Adobe, this tool is ideal for images with more details, images with artifacts, or large size printed images.
We continue updating by adding high dynamic range merge and panorama merge within the desktop version of Lightroom CC. An HDR panorama that combines both processes has also been added to the latest update. Three new options Photo> Photo Merge menu.
A target adjustment tool that can adjust the color and range of color mixer and tone curve by clicking color in the photo is also adopted for Lightroom CC. A clipping indicator showing highlight clipping and shadow clipping is also available. In the iOS version you can share randomly selected photos, but the Android version focuses on bug fixes.
Lightroom Classic already has HDR, panorama, HDR panorama, and target adjustment tools. In addition to Enhance Details, the Classic version has improved several tethered bug fixes and tethering stability with Nikon cameras.
