Great Lightroom trick if you've had to crop

About the only thing I don't like about the R6 is having only 20MP when you need to crop. I recently took photos of my daughter and a friend surfing, but armed with only my RF 24-70mm f/2.8 they appeared very small in each frame and so I had no choice but to make a pretty tight crop if I hoped to see any facial details. However, after I did this, I learned in Photoshop that if you right-click a cropped image (two-finger touch on a Mac trackpad) and select Enhance and then check Super Resolution, you will get rid of some of the pixelation resulting from a tight crop. LR did a pretty great job of interpolating and then smoothing out the pixelation, in other words. Detail was restored to a very large degree! I guess some people refer to this as "upsizing." Anyhow, it worked wonderfully for the surfing photos I took, so I thought I'd share this discovery.

Thanks for the share! Something I need to try down the road.

Gigapixel and PhotoAI do a better job than PS for upsizing.

They really do, and are worth the purchase price. Both integrate with LR so if that's all you use you don't have to leave from there, just choose edit in, and it will be part of the lr catalog when you are done.
