Increased resolution photos

Hi Joel. When you update a photo with a summary to say that you've "increased resolution, improved colour balance, saturation", what do you mean about increasing the resolution? Are you sourcing a higher resolution original version, or applying some kind of upscaling software to the image? --Lord Belbury (talk) 16:14, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Good to know, thanks! You should mention that in your edit summaries, it looks like you've been reverted a bit by users who wrongly assumed you were upscaling. (Commons does have a few users who plug historical photos into mediocre off-the-shelf upscaling software, thoughtlessly overwriting the original.) --Lord Belbury (talk) 16:53, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
