Upscaled architecture portfolio photo with sharp facade lines and material texture

Architecture practices archive web-sized exports long after RAW files age off drives. Competition panels and design magazines request 300 DPI at physical print dimensions — upscaling is a pragmatic bridge when re-shooting is impossible and the only file is a 1200 px portfolio JPEG.

What upscaling preserves — and what it cannot

Preserves: facade texture, tile grout lines, foliage structure, material gradients.
Risk zones: fine mesh, distant glass reflections, extreme perspective crops.
Always inspect diagonal lines at 100% — mild perspective correction before upscale helps.

Use General at 4× first for interiors with mixed materials; step to 8× on Pro only after the preview passes your line-straightness check.
