This being said, it’s a handy tool to 1) recover older pictures from lower-resolution cameras, 2) allow for larger print sizes, 3) allow for extreme cropping even with high-res shots from modern cameras (handy for wildlife shots), and 4) to increase the size of AI-generated images (which have as of now a very low resolution).

Most likely, you’ll only increase the artefacts. Don’t expect miracles if you have an image shot with a smartphone. Remember that this tool works well with files with a lot of information and is not too compressed, like those generated with a mirrorless or DSLR camera. Most likely, you will use it with the Enhance Resolution Tool. Upscale is the last section and is not applied automatically.

Just like the Sharpen tool, it can fix an image or completely ruin it, especially if the face is relatively small and doesn’t have many details. If the AI doesn’t detect any face, the Recover Faces tool is locked. The Recover Faces tool is similar to the Sharpen tool but focuses on faces and works very well only if they are slightly out of focus.The motion blur setting can often help recover unusable pictures. There are three settings: Lens Blur, Motion Blur, and Standard mode. The AI automatically detects the subject, creates a mask, and improves the image.

Sometimes, it dramatically enhances the image, and other times, it simply ruins it. The Sharpen tool is a kind of hit-or-miss thing.The only downside is that the image can have a “plasticky” feeling if you apply a very aggressive noise reduction. In the Image Quality section, you can find 5 tools: Remove Noise, Sharpen, Recover Faces, and Enhance Resolution.
