Image Resolution Increase Beyond Camera Capability

PhotoAcute Studio produces combined image from a sequence of continuous photographs, thus acquiring more graphic information than it is available from one photograph. Using sophisticated proprietary algorithms it combines the individual frames to produce one large-sized and high-quality image. Such technique is usually called "superresolution processing".

Unlike the digital zooming and image sharpening, resultant photographs produced by PhotoAcute Studio do really have higher spatial resolution.

Small, thin and far away objects, traceries, textures and inscriptions become recognizable.

PhotoAcute Studio superresolution algorithms are tuned for the particular camera/lens model to achieve maximum quality.

source photograph (one of a set): camera resolution was not enough to capture the brickwork pattern	the strong sharpening does not reveal more details	superresolution applied to the whole set of photographs: the pattern is much more apparent, as if it was captured by the camera with higher resolution	sharpening applied to the result of superresolution processing, for comparison with the sharpened original

Usage: Superresolution processing is performed when the Combined 2x output with superresolution mode is selected in the processing options dialog. Superresolution processing requires the availability of the profile for the given camera model.

It is highly recommended to use high ISO levels (e.g. 400) for superresolution processing. Camera automatically uses long exposures when ISO is low, and it leads to handshaking artifacts, that can significantly decrease the level of detail of the picture. At the same time, the noise caused by high ISO can be efficiently reduced during superresolution processing.
