How Do I Upres an Image in Photoshop?

Last updated on January 26, 2023 @ 4:51 am

When it comes to image resolution, there are two main types of images you’ll encounter when working with Photoshop: raster and vector. Raster images are made up of pixels, while vector images are made up of paths. Each has its own set of benefits and drawbacks.

Raster images are ideal for photographs and complex graphics with lots of color gradients. They’re also great for images that will be printed at a specific size, because you can control the number of pixels per inch (ppi). The more pixels per inch, the higher the resolution and the sharper the image will be when printed.

Vector images, on the other hand, are better suited for logos, illustrations, and line art. They can be scaled to any size without losing quality, so they’re perfect for images that will be used in multiple sizes or for print and web.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with Photoshop, it is best to avoid using the “How Do I Upres an Image in Photoshop?” function. This function can cause your image to become pixilated or low quality if not used correctly.

So, what happens when you need to increase the resolution of an image? Let’s say you have a low-resolution image that you want to print at a large size.

Or maybe you have a vector image that you want to use on the web. In either case, you’ll need to upres (or upsample) the image.

Upresing an image essentially means adding more pixels (for raster images) or paths (for vector images) to the existing image. When done correctly, this can increase the quality of the image without introducing new artifacts. However, if not done carefully, upresing can actually reduce the quality of an image by introducing blurriness and artifacts.

Here are some tips for upresing images in Photoshop:

  • Start with a high-quality base image. The higher the quality of the starting image, the better the results will be after upresing. This is especially true for raster images.
  • Use Preserve Details 2.0. Photoshop CC 2015 introduced a new upsampling algorithm called Preserve Details 2. This algorithm does a better job of preserving details and minimizing artifacts when upresing images. To use it, simply select Preserve Details 2.0 from the drop-down menu in the Image Size dialog box.
  • Use Smart Objects. Smart Objects are layers that retain all their original information even when they’re transformed or resized. This means they’re perfect for upresing because you can always go back and make changes without losing quality. To convert a layer to a Smart Object, right-click on it and select Convert to Smart Object from the menu.
