How to enlarge an image in Photoshop.

Use Super Resolution to increase the size of an image without losing the detail it had at its original size. Super Resolution also automatically cleans, sharpens, resamples, and enhances your new image.


1. Open it:

From Camera Raw (the plug-in, not the Photoshop filter), open your original image.


2. Enhance it:

In the filmstrip, right-click or control-click an image file and select Enhance from the menu.


3. Super Resolution it:

Check the box that reads Super Resolution. You’ll see a time estimate beneath it.


4. Save it:

Click Enhance. The algorithm will do its work, and the new, larger image will be automatically produced, with the file extension DNG attached to it.
