Darktable's New AI Upscale: Better Than Lightroom's Super Resolution?
Got old photos you've always wanted to print big? Darktable 5.6's new AI Upscale can turn a 24MP file into a 97MP print (or nearly 390MP at 4x) — completely free, no subscription, processed entirely on your own machine.
In this video I run the new neural restore module's upscale tab on real files from my old Nikon D750 and compare it against Lightroom Classic's Super Resolution: cost, scale options, where the processing actually happens, and the one real limitation (wide-gamut color clipping) you should know about before relying on it for prints.
