How to increase image size and resolution
Table of Contents
O Let's Enhance is an online platform that uses artificial intelligence to increase the size and resolution of images. The site uses a technology similar to Upscaling of 4K TVs, and it is through this method that the user can improve the definition and sharpness of photos and illustrations, for example. The showmetech has prepared a step-by-step guide for you to learn how to increase the size and resolution of images. Check it out!
What you need to know about increasing image resolution.
Main functions of Let's Enhance
O Let's Enhance has a simple interface and offers several features to improve the quality and increase the size of photos, for example. When doing the upload of the image on the platform, the user must choose the features that best suit the image they want to modify. Check out the functions:
- Smart Improvement: It is recommended for those who need to increase the size of a photo and that has several elements such as nature, architecture, products, real estate and food. By choosing this option you can define the intensity of the 'Light AI', a feature that balances the colors and corrects the lighting of the photos. In addition, it is also possible to change the size by clicking on 'custom'.
- Digital art: recommended for improving drawings, illustrations, paintings, cartoons, anime, etc. The tool also allows you to choose the percentage of Light AI that will be used and the 'creativity' option to improve and include new elements to the image, of course, using AI.
- Image with text: ideal for improving images that have text, such as clothing prints, signs and the like.
- Old photos: used to improve photo quality or with low resolution.
- Magic (beta): With this option you can create new images with AI, adding a detailed description of what you want. It is important to note that this option has a longer processing time, that is, the result will not be immediate.
How does Let's Enhance work?
In practice, what Let's Enhance increasing image size is not exactly new. Here, the big news is in the technologies involved in the process: in addition to applying the interpolation, a process that duplicates the pixels, with the intention of composing the image with larger dots, the service uses artificial intelligence to correct textures and the other 'side effects' of this technique.
In simpler terms, what Let's Enhance does is the Upscaling of images. It takes the information from a single pixel and tries to repeat it in neighboring pixels, so that that point, previously represented by just one pixel, is represented by several. When displaying images in Full HDThe 4K TVs from Samsung e LG use the same resource.
This is necessary because when you stretch the image in the process of improving photo resolution, the pixels that form it become further each other. As this distance increases, the image loses definition, as the light points no longer generate continuous forms – this is when the space between each point begins to appear.
A interpolation (technique on which the Upscaling) acts precisely in these spaces, filling the lacuna between each pixel with other pixels of colors Similar. It's like, instead of to stretch a small dot and make it big, the machine would use several dots to form a bigger one.
Although it looks just brilliant, the interpolation isn't perfect: whenever you 'boost' the pixels of an image, the contours stay longer serrated.
That's where the artificial intelligence of Let's Enhance enters the scene. As with some more modern 4K TVs, the service uses a huge database to compare enhanced photos with other images, learning to smooth the edges. When this is done, the serrations also decrease.
And the coolest thing is that, as the images are used in the service, the more he learns about how handle them correctly.
