Advanced tools in Camera Raw and Lightroom can give you a cleaner, sharper, higher-resolution image to work with.
Sharpening is directly linked to image quality, resolution and crispness, so if we want sharper photos we need to think beyond which sharpening tools to use. We also need to consider how to get the best quality from our digital photos. Options like Enhance Details and Super Resolution can give us a better starting point. If you need a boost in resolution, simply right-click an image in Camera Raw, go to Enhance and click Apply to double the resolution. For better-quality raws, consider using DxO plugins like PureRaw. This applies AI-powered noise reduction and industry-leading lens-correcting tools, resulting in a sharper, higher-quality raw file. It’s especially effective for high-ISO images, as it reduces noise and enhances details to an astonishing degree.
