The funny thing in photorealism is that the amount of sharp detail isn't particular high. We easily consider 80's television broadcast photorealistic: none of the films and series aren't criticized because they looked to unrealistic and artificial. Yet a measly low-resolution broadcast with even more inaccurate and distorted chrominance channel can produce video that is for all practical purposes realistic. For still images, photorealism is even simpler. Even a painter can produce photorealistic paintings you couldn't easily distinguish from photographs.
