Image upscaling using AI / ML is the future for photos

I've been getting photo canvases printed to beautify my living space, and I can't recommend CanvasPop highly enough for this.

Since I'm getting pretty large canvases made, I've been running the source images through an AI image upscaler first (I use ML Super Resolution in Pixelmator Pro). There are a bunch of others out there too (check out BigJPG), so choose one that works best for you.

Google just released data on their latest research in this domain, and it looks like this area is going to have a major upgrade in the future. Turns out there is truth behind the “zoom and enhance” trope.
