1-Minute Creative: Upcycle Your Low-Res Photos? AI Says Yes.

This is the first entry of 1-Minute Reads for Creatives.

I’m a photographer. You’re a photographer. We’re all photographers now.

My first camera in the 1970s, as a tiny child, was an ancient family Kodak Land Camera, i.e. a black-and-white instant camera that looked like an accordion from the 19th century to my eyes. These days I’m a street photographer, among other things. I publish and exhibit and sell photography. I have many beautiful photos taken on older digital media. As they say, the best camera is the one you have with you. For the past decade, a lot of my best stuff was taken on my iPhones.

Anyway. Here’s a miracle I recently discovered on how to make your low-resolution photos effectively high-res if you wanna print or publish them.

Beg, buy, or borrow Adobe Lightroom (desktop, not mobile) and then:

  1. Open image in Lightroom.

  2. From top menu: Photo > Enhance…

  3. Select Super Resolution >Enhance.

Boom. Enjoy.
