Best One Piece Manga Panels Upscaled to High Resolution for Wallpaper (4k, 8k, HD)

One Piece is an iconic manga with many epic panels. Unfortunately, the digitalized versions are often very low quality and cannot easily be used for many purposes, like wallpapers. I decided to take some of the best One Piece manga panels and upscale them to ultra-high resolutions.

The Upscaling Process:

After collecting the panels, I started cleaning them in Photopea. This involved removing the biggest artifacts, cropping the panels, and combining full-page panels into single images when needed.

The upscaling itself was fairly simple using Dynamic Upscale tool on Upsampler. I used 'anime' as the input image type, global creativity of 2, and resemblance of 6, keeping other settings mostly default. I varied the upscale factor from x2 to x4.

For more detailed panels or images with small faces and intricate details, I often chose a higher upscale factor (like x4) right away. I typically did 2 passes of the upscaling process for each panel to really boost the resolution and detail.

I then went back to Photopea for a bit more cleanup. This was mainly for areas where the AI might need a little help refining details, especially for small faces that weren't originally drawn with extreme detail but now, at high resolution, benefit from some manual touch-ups to add clarity.

For some panels, I then used Precise Upscale to sharpen and increase the resolution even further. For absolute perfect results, some panels could still benefit from a final cleanup pass.
