It automatically analyzes the image and applies the appropriate enhancement algorithm to boost the resolution by 4x, sharpen details, and reduce noise. The process is fast, leveraging the full power of your Mac's hardware.
3. Save: Once the enhancement is complete, you can preview the stunning result. With a single click, save the new high-resolution image directly to your computer, ready for use in your projects or for sharing with the world.
