Using an Upscaler

Open up the image editor tab and you'll see the upscaler interface

You can upload the image or images you want by dragging them onto the top box, clicking on it, or clicking on the choose button.

Leaving the output blank will default to saving the upscaled images in 'upscale_outputs' in your output image folder.

After choosing the upscaler and how much to upscale the images by and pressing the 'Upscale' button a message will be displayed that the job has started. You will also get a similar message when the job is complete.

Examples

To summarize the use of each upscaler;

GFPGAN; used for realistic faces, 1.4 seems to be more accurate, but 1.3 can have a smoother look. But have the chance to cause some detail errors where the face restore segment doesn't match up perfectly.

RealESRGAN; Used for realistic scenery. Seems to get a better balance with foreground and background detail.

RealESRGAN-Anime: Used for Anime faces. Also, space scenes seem to be more vibrant and detailed.

RestoreFormer; just kinda sucks in comparison to the others.

All example images are upscaled 3x their original size. But anything over 4x tends to cause errors in my experiences.

Sometimes gen using the GFPGAN upscalers the face restore can cause a seam around the section it 'fixed' This can be fixed with inpainting The Paint Tab

GFPGAN v1.4 Seam
