# Highres Fix

If you feel like just using the upscalers aren't getting enough detail at higher resolution, you can always try using the Highres Fix.

To start using HIghres Fix go into the setting tab and turn on the this option. Make sure to click save settings.

Then, back on the create or paint tab, there's settings for adjusting how many steps each stage of highres fis will use, and how much it's allowed to vary from the upscaled image.\
You can also choose to use upscale only, and the app will not use the highres steps or strength..

Now when you generate an image at 1024x1024 or higher, highres fix will activate.

What this does is generate the image at 768x768 and then begins to upscale it in stages, adding a pass of img2img at each step to add in more details until it eventually reaches the desired resolution.

Be careful going too large if you have a GPU with 8GB of VRAM or less.

If higher resolutions are desired you can use a regular upscaler.\
2x upscale will keep most of the details of your highres fix image.

If you want to get even more details, now would be a good time to look into using [the-paint-tab](https://artroomai.gitbook.io/local_tutorials/resources/extra-features-tutorials/the-paint-tab "mention")
