It couldn’t restore image detail not captured by the camera in the first place – no software can do that. ON1 Software bought out Genuine Fractals years back, one of the best known upsizers on the market. So does this one actually work? How does it work?

What if you have a photo with a very small detail you can’t quite make out? Will an upsizing tool make it visible?Īll sorts of publishers have made all sorts of upsizing software promises in the past, many of them clearly just hype. That sounds great if you only have a small web image to start from, or if you have an older, lower-resolution camera and you want to make a big wall print. They promise the minor miracle of creating big, sharp-looking images from smaller, lower resolution originals. Upsizing apps have been around for a long time. ON1 Resize AI 2022 can bump its images up to 48MP and they look very good indeed (right) against Lightroom’s own resizing process (left). Why would need this? The Fujifilm X30 is one of my favorite compact cameras, but it’s only 12MP. It uses AI processing not to ‘magically’ restore hidden detail, but to work out what fine textures and details would look like when enlarged.

These programs traditionally boast more than they actually deliver, promising perfect enlargements with enhanced detail without any convincing science behind them – but ON1 Resize AI 2022 is different. It adds more pixels to make a larger, more detailed photo than you had before. ON1 Resize AI 2022 is a tool for upsizing your photos so that they can be viewed or printed larger.
