Microsoft Edge taps AI to make grainy images look nice and crisp in your browser

If images begin to look sharper on Microsoft Edge compared to other browsers, there's a reason for that. Microsoft is building in what it calls a "Turing Image Super Resolution engine" into Microsoft Edge, "upscaling" low-resolution images with higher fidelity. In effect, Edge will create a higher-resolution image using artificial intelligence, where it didn't exist before. Upscaling isn't new; Adobe Lightroom's Super Resolution allows you to upscale a 12 megapixel image to 48MP, for example, to print larger prints. TopazLabs' Gigapixel AI is a dedicated, paid tool to do the same, and there are other free services available on the Web that will perform the same services with varying results.
