This was perfect! I'm new to Photoshop and generally have no idea what I'm doing!!

Will this method work the same with photographs? I'd be interested to see a comparison with that and these AI-generated files.

Heads up: The "before" preview here is equal to "Nearest neighbor" resample mode, which you would almost never use (pixel art being a notable exception).
To demonstrate what Preserve Details 2.0 brings to the table, you need to compare it to bilinear and/or bicubic.

Thanks for your tutorial. I will definitely give this method a try.
I'd also be interested to hear your opinion on this method vs using the camera raw super resolution under the enhance option?

You know that the dpi setting is meaningless for screen, right? What matters are pixels. Screens don't have a DPI, print has a DPI, or rather PPI. The DPI setting is basically metadata which is embedded in the file instructing a printer at what resolution to print at. If you don't click resample then the dpi value has no effect at all on the image, it just tells the printer how big or small the final photo will be. If you click upsampling and change the dpi value then photoshop adds or removes pixels accordingly.

Sorry but that just blurs as it did in the past without Ai..
