Enlarging images by using AI-Powered upsampling
When you use the PaintShop Pro Resize window to enlarge an image (upsample), AI-Powered options become available. AI-Powered options use artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze the pixels in your image so that newly added pixels provide a crisper more detailed result than standard upsampling methods. This can help you salvage low-resolution images that you might not otherwise be able to use. For example, you might have a photo that has been cropped to an area of interest, but the resulting resolution is too low to print, or you might have older JPEG images that were captured with a low-resolution camera.
Note: GPU Acceleration can sometimes improve the speed performance of the AI analysis. Results will vary according to your computer system, so experiment to see which setting works best.
Note: The maximum pixel dimensions for AI-Powered upsampling is 10,000 x 10,000 pixels—you cannot apply this option if the dimensions exceed the limit (settings are disabled).
To enlarge an image by using AI-Powered upsamplingEdit tab
1 Choose Image Resize.
The Resize dialog box appears.
2 Enlarge the image by choosing one of the following options:
• By Pixels — lets you specify a size in pixels by typing values in the Width and Height boxes. You can also choose from a drop-list of standard sizes.
• By Percentage — lets you change the size by a percentage (of the original) by typing a percentage into the Width or Height box.
• By Print Size —lets you specify a size in inches, centimeters, or millimeters by typing values in the Width and Height boxes. You can also choose from a drop-list of standard sizes and set the Resolution value.
• Based on One Side —based on pixels, you can specify the size of either the Width or Height and the image will be resized, using the current proportions.
3 Mark the Advanced and AI-Powered Settings check box.
4 Mark the Resample using check box, and in the drop-list, choose AI-Powered.
5 From the Mode area, choose one of the following options:
• Photorealistic: Choose this options for photos.
• Illustration: Choose this option for drawings and other illustrations.
6 Set the amount of Noise Reduction you want to apply. Drag the slider to the left to maintain finer pixel details; drag the slider to the right for smoother edges.
7 Mark or unmark the GPU Acceleration check box, according to what works best for your computer system.
8 Click OK.
The green progress bar at the bottom of the application window lets you track the progress of the AI analysis.
