Original versus five different 16x upscales at 100% zoom (I got the idea for this from a user on the SD Discord server, but they didn't want to be credited.)
REDDIT KRITA GIB FULL SIZE
Here's a comparison file and the full size file on imgur. (5) Each time you do it takes about 4x longer (an image with 2x the dimensions has 4x the pixels) but it should be doable even with an old video card as long as you are able to generate 512x512 images normally. You can also do it manually and combine the tiles in photoshop/gimp/krita, but it's a lot more work. img2imgHD, and this custom script are other options that do a similar thing. (4) What the SD upscaler does is chop the image into tiles, re-run SD on the tiles, and then stitch them back together. So if you choose 200 iterations and 0.15, you get 31 actual iterations. (3) Number of actual iterations = iteration setting * denoising +1. There are many types of upscalers for specific use cases as well. "Lollypop" tends to work the best for people. I've found that "Universal Upscaler v2", "Remacri", and "NMKD Siax" all work well for most things and generates good details. pth file for each model in the "stable-diffusion-webuiESRGAN" folder, then restarting the app. I recommend downloading some alternate models and putting the.
REDDIT KRITA GIB PLUS
(2) RealESRGAN 4x Plus is a popular option but it can be kind of cartoony on some images. For example, a mosaic of a dog, made of dogs, by using dog in the prompt. A higher denoising, such as 0.5, will get you a "mosiac" affect, especially if you use it with a word in the prompt. Of course, with denoising strength at low levels (0.1-0.2) the prompt won't have much influence but if you turn up denoising you can also alter the image a lot during the upscale. You can also leave it blank and still get expanded detail. The name of an art style or art movement or art medium will usually get you that style. (1) "Highly detailed" is my default prompt, but what you put in here can really change things, such as ornate, intricate, fine details, brush strokes, texture oil painting, canvas texture, paper texture, pointillism, pixel art, cubism, or maximalism.
