With the latest version of Lightroom Classic, the “Superresolution” feature from Photoshop has also been integrated. It has also been changed to support TIFF or other files. This now also opens up the possibility of enhancing RAW files processed with DxO PureRaw.

Of course, this comes at the expense of processing power and especially storage space. The robin (a 2392x3312px crop from a 5568x3712px image of the Nikon D500) with originally 20.7 megapixels and 19.73 megabytes as a single image is blown up quite a bit. DxO turns the image with the same dimensions and pixel count into 56.4 megabytes. The DxO image then spiced up with Superresolution makes the original image 11136x7424px and crop with 4784x6624px into an 82.7 megapixel file that then occupies a proud 263.38 megabytes on the disk.

My Elbphilharmonie panorama could no longer be put together with Lightroom. I made it then by means of Autopano. Well, no surprise, 260 megapixels becomes 1 gigapixel. So all this is really only for very special purposes. For my Canon printer probably not, because I can print maximum up to DIN A2+.
