Photographs Question

[Pinball-Fantasies]

I have a large number of photographs , is it possible to get these converted to 4k resolution at 3840 x 2160
I have manage to clean the photographs up and they are better quality

Can anybody recommend a programme or online ?

Are you down sizing or up sizing, i’m not sure from how you describe it.

What file format are the original files?

Would like to upscale to 4K
Format are JPEG

What resolution is the file…it could already be in 4k.

Is there a specific reason you want them 4K? 4K is 16:9 aspect ratio whereas most cameras are 3:2, so you will lose part of the top and/or bottom of the composition in the conversion, or have borders at the side.

I'm inclined to agree. By upscaling, your not going to get any more detail in the picture than what you already have*. I'm also now of the mind that sometimes the original image ( or touched up original image ) is the best one to keep for the longer term, and only resize it when you need to resize it. JPEG images are lossy formats, and the more times you go round the loop of editing and saving, the more you lose over time.

As Scuzi asks, why do you need to resize? Is it for something like a slide show on a TV ?

* Admittedly, AI enhanced upscaling is getting better such that it can interpolate may insert more detail based on its ai learning ... but be clear that the detail will not have come from the original image.

Was going to suggest this. They do run a free trial I think, but it'll have their watermark over it. But at least you'll be able to see what sort of quality you'll get when upscaling the image.

I'd run them through Lightroom with output set to 4k and screen sharpening if you want things crisp for an exact resolution.

Is there settings in Photoshop Elements 2025 to set output to 4K ?

Even the basic Mac Preview app can do this.

Adjust - Resolute - 3840 on the long side and leave the other.

I don't think you will notice any difference though, without some AI algorithm. Again, you never said what resolution the originals are in (in almost 2 months lol).
