Use this photo editing hack to turn your old 8MP digital photos into modern 32MP masterpieces

Sean McCormack opinion piece header image.

Your archive is full of them. Files from your first digital camera, 8MP shots that felt revolutionary at the time but now look soft and limited. You still hold on to them because the moment mattered, but cropping was never an option. Straighten the horizon and you'd end up with something barely usable for the web. Pull in tighter on the composition and forget it. 640 pixels of tears.

Super Resolution changes this. It's not magic, but it does allow you to make larger prints and crop much further in those older photos.
