Enhance allows you to increase image quality for making large prints or increasing the resolution of a cropped image.
Learn about AI-powered Enhance features
Select Camera Raw Preferences > Technology Previews > New AI Features and Settings Panel to access and experience enhanced AI-powered features like Denoise, Super Resolution, and more.
Enhance provides features such as Denoise, Raw Details, and Super Resolution to help improve image quality using Camera Raw.
Denoise easily removes noise from photos captured with high-ISO settings or in low light. You can process the supported file types using artificial intelligence to reduce noise without losing the image's fine details.
Raw Details, previously called Enhance Details, produces crisp detail and more accurate renditions of edges, improves color rendering, and reduces artifacts. The resolution of the enhanced image stays the same as the original image. This feature is handy for large displays and prints where fine details are visible.
Super Resolution helps create an enhanced image with similar results as Raw Details but with 2x the linear resolution. This means that the enhanced image will have 2x the width and 2x the height of the original image or 4x the total pixel count. This feature supports the same file types as Raw Details, plus additional file types such as JPEG and TIFF. Super Resolution is especially useful for increasing the resolution of a cropped image.
To access the Enhance preview, you can right-click on a photo and select Enhance from the context menu.
Minimum system requirements
Your computer must meet the following minimum technical specifications to use the Enhance features:
- Ensure that your system meets the general Camera Raw system requirements.
- For GPU system requirements, see Considerations for GPU-accelerated features. These features heavily use the available GPU and can use an external GPU (eGPU).
-
-
From the menu, select Photo > Enhance or select Denoise in the Detail panel.
-
Select Denoise to enhance your image.
-
Use the slider to adjust the intensity of the feature.
-
You can press and hold on to the preview area to view the changes made to the image.
-
Select Enhance to process the image as a new DNG file. The new file will be with the Enhance-NR filename.
Denoise applies to the following file types:
- Bayer, X-Trans mosaic raw
- Linear DNGs (including HDR and Pano DNG images created inside Lightroom and Camera Raw)
