Setting the AI Super-Resolution Output Options

File Output Options can be found by clicking the Options... button in the bottom-left corner of the AI Super-Resolution window.

Output File Type

Select an output file format for the image. File formats include: AVIF, BMP, GIF, JP2, JPG, PCX, PNG, PSD, TGA, TIFF, WBMP, and WEBP.

Output Location

Choose an output location from the options:

  • Same as source folder: pastes the enhanced files in the folder they originated.
  • Specific folder: use the folder icon to navigate to a specific folder for the output files.
  • Create subfolder: with an output location selected, check this checkbox to create a subfolder for your enhanced images. Enter a name in the box. This is useful if you are making multiple batch resizes to specific dimensions. You can save your enhanced files in separate folders.

File options

Overwrite Existing Files: Sets the default action when overwriting files.

  • Ask: Asks for confirmation before overwriting any files.
  • Skip: Skips any files that would be overwritten.
  • Rename: Prompts a renaming dialogue for the new file when output is complete.
  • Replace: Replaces the original file with the new enhanced one.

Preserve last-modified dates: Toggles whether the last-modifed dates are saved into the enhanced file output.

Preserve metadata: Toggles whether metadata is saved into the enhanced file output.

Preserve database information: Toggles whether database information is saved into the enhanced file output.

Output File Format Settings

Some Output File Formats have elements that can be fine-tuned. To modify the settings, select the Output File Format from the dropdown, and then click the Settings button to the right.

Below is a list of the Output File Formats that can be adjusted.

AVIF - AVI Image

Lossless compression: Allows the original data to be perfectly reconstructed from the compressed data with no loss of information.

Selecting Lossless compression disables the Image Quality Slider when selected.

Image Quality Slider: The slider bar represents a sliding scale from "Best compression" to "Best quality". A numerical value is represented below the bar which allows you to easily fine-tune the exact number needed.
JP2 - JPEG 2000 JP2 File

Compression options:

  • Lossless: Lossless will ensure the original data is perfectly reconstructed from the compressed data with no loss of information.
  • Compression ratio: Specifies the compression factor as a ratio. A 10:1 ratio will save an image that is 10 times smaller than the uncompressed image. This setting uses a lossy compression technique, and some image quality may be lost.
  • File size: Specifies a maximum file size. The resulting file will be as large as or smaller than the specified size. This setting uses a lossy compression technique, and some image quality may be lost.

Partition image (tiles): Splits the image into separately compressed regions.

Progressive decoding options:

Decompression layers: Sets the number of decompression layers that are used for progressive decoding.

Progression order: Select from the following orders:

  • Layer-Resolution-Component-Position
  • Resolution-Layer-Component-Position
  • Resolution-Position-Component-Layer
  • Position-Component-Resolution-Layer
  • Component-Position-Layer-Resolution
JPG - JPEG

Image Quality Slider: The slider bar represents a sliding scale from "Best compression" to "Best quality". A numerical value is represented below the bar which allows you to easily fine-tune the exact number needed.

Encoding:

  • Progressive
  • Optimize Huffman codes

Color Component Sampling:

  • 2:1 Horizontal
  • 2:1 Vertical

Embedded Thumbnails:

  • Only update existing thumbnails
  • Always add/update thumbnails
  • Never add/update thumbnails

Generate DCF compatible thumbnails: Ensures that thumbnails generated are compatible with DCF standards.
PNG - Portable Network Graphics

Encoding Options:

  • Interlaced
PSD - PSD

Storage Format:

  • No compression
  • Compression

The 16-bit grayscale and 48-bit rgb formats do not support compression so in their case this setting will be ignored.
TGA - Targa

Encoding Options:

  • Compress using Run Length Encoding (RLE)
  • Bottom-up orientation
TIFF - Tagged Image File Format

Compression:

  • None
  • CCITT Group 3
  • CCITT Group 4
  • LZW
  • Deflate
  • JPEG
  • Adobe Deflate
WEBP - Google WebP Image

Lossless compression: Allows the original data to be perfectly reconstructed from the compressed data with no loss of information.

Selecting Lossless compression disables the Image Quality Slider when selected.

Image Quality Slider: The slider bar represents a sliding scale from "Best compression" to "Best quality". A numerical value is represented below the bar which allows you to easily fine-tune the exact number needed.

Any file format's settings will have the option to Save these settings as the defaults. Checking this off will ensure that the settings are saved and used again when outputting that file format again.
