Presumably you go from picture to painting the moment you open photoshop. Photography for record keeping/science and photography for aesthetics/artistry diverge long before you get to techniques like super resolution. Which is still a fuzzy boundary because anyone who has taken a picture including a sunny sky can tell you raw photos generally don't capture how it looks to your eyeballs.
