Building on my post from last week, I’ve been exploring other ways that people using Lightroom Classic (LrC) can take advantage of the Super Resolution feature added to the latest Adobe Camera Raw (ACR). Yes, at some point it is expected to be added to LrC, but until then … we’ve got to use it where it exists now. Local Smart Previews Last week I showed how one could use Super Resolution on a smart preview stored in the cloud, but then I wondered, what about using the smart previews that are stored locally?

Toroweap Overlook has one of the best views in the solar system. This is an area that I had longed to visit—it’s unlike your usual experience at Grand Canyon. On the more familiar south side of the park, you generally see a vast expanse of canyon terrace landscape, and usually you can’t see the river at all. Toroweap is on the north side of the canyon, where it narrows enough to corral the Colorado River beneath 3,000-foot cliffs and where the larger of the canyon rapids, Lava Falls, lays below. Toroweap is more difficult to get to than the south side of Grand Canyon. Dropping down out of the southern edge of Utah heading into Arizona, you must take a 61-mile...
