This Hidden Feature In Photoshop Lets You Convert Low-Res Images To High-Res
There are times when we as designers have no choice but to work with low-resolution images. Perhaps an asset from a client is too small, or we need to scale something up to fit a larger layout. The usual result is exactly what we expect: loss of sharpness, visible artifacts, and an overall drop in quality that no amount of clever retouching can fully fix.
Photoshop instructor Unmesh Dinda from PiXimperfect has come up with a handy tutorial demonstrating a lesser-known feature in Photoshop CC that lets you increase the size of an image without losing details or quality. It’s not a miracle fix, more of a subtle improvement, but still a handy technique to keep in mind when working with images that need to be sized up.
It’s called ‘Preserve Details 2.0’ and is available under Edit > Preferences > Technology Previews (in Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences > Technology Previews (Mac). Check it out in action below.
