## Image size in the finished layout

ML Super Resolution in Pixelmator Pro helps to enlarge the image when the source has few pixels. The processing builds a larger version on the observed details. Before starting, determine what area the image will occupy in the layout. For a small insert of the usual size change may be enough. If an important facture is already lost during compression, the comparison after magnification will show where the algorithm assumption appeared.

## An old photo for a display

Take a copy of your own archival photo with a sign and a brick wall. First, save the usual increase to the desired size, then process the second copy through ML Super Resolution. Open both versions at the same scale. Look at the seams of the brick, the letters of the sign and the face in the distant view. A clear-looking symbol may differ from what was in the original image.

To publish with a historical signature, leave the source next to you. If the inscription needs to be read accurately, check it for other materials instead of relying on the restored picture.

## Final review

Check the photo at the size that the reader will see it. A slight roughness of the contour can be seen when increasing and disappearing in the finished layout. Save two versions of the file if the size is still being discussed. Before installing, check the supported system and device, as Apple’s instructions and availability of features may vary between versions of the app.

From task to first result

## Practical example

Task

Zoom out a small snapshot for the layout

What to prepare

The original photo in the maximum available quality, without recompression.

### Task brief or prompt

Task brief: reduce noise and improve the photo’s clarity while preserving natural texture. Compare the original and processed image at the same scale; do not use reconstructed details as evidence of a fact.

### Expected result

A photo that is more suitable for a layout; reconstructed details remain the algorithm’s interpretation.

### How to check the result

- Compare the texture of skin and fabric, and the appearance of small lettering.

- Check for halos and invented details.

An editorial teaching example of a task brief, not the result of hands-on testing of the service. Check that the required mode is available, that you have rights to the source material and that the intended use of the result is permitted.
