What you’ll learn

Use the Firefly Upscaler model to restore low resolution photos

The Firefly Upscaler is a good choice for restoring low-resolution images and works well for landscape scenes. You can choose to upscale the image 2x or 4x.

Generative Upscale creates a new document for the upscaled image

When you click Upscale, Photoshop will create a new document with two layers. The first layer is the upscaled version of the image with no generative AI. The second layer is the generated image with enhanced details.

Topaz Gigapixel preserves and restores natural photo details and enhances blurred faces with Face Recovery

For images where it is important to preserve the natural appearance and original details, choose the Topaz Gigapixel partner model. If there are faces in the image, enable the Face Recovery feature to recover detail in blurry or low-res faces.

Creatively enhance generated images and digital illustrations with Topaz Bloom

Topaz Bloom will upscale and also re-imagine the image, adding new artistic details, texture and depth. The Creativity slider controls how much the AI will re-interpret your image. Topaz Bloom is not meant to perfectly preserve the original details. It is designed to elevate your image by creating richer and more defined textures and artistic details.
