The Dynamic Upscale tool is capable of adding new details to your images while increasing the overall resolution. Let's explore how it works, its capabilities, and how to make the most out of its settings.

How the Tool Works Internally

This tool leverages modified image generation models, treating your image as a composition of many smaller images. When the tool upscales, it regenerates these parts, filling in new details that would otherwise be lost in traditional upscaling.

Note: While this method is exceptional for images that already have decent quality, it is not the best at restoring bad images. It is great at bringing good-quality images to the next level.

The Settings Explained

To give you full control over your image enhancements, we offer a few adjustable settings that you can tweak.

1. Input Image Type

We use different models for processing your images, each trained for a specific style. Currently, you can select from:

• Universal: Versatile and performs well across various types of images.
• Realism: Ideal for photographs and lifelike scenes.
• Anime: Perfect for anime, game assets, and other non-photorealistic digital art.
• Impasto: Designed for traditional impasto-style artwork.
• Watercolor: Optimized for watercolor-style paintings.

2. Input Image Quality

If your image has noise, compression artifacts, or is extremely pixelated, select low quality. If the image quality is generally fine, such as for AI-generated images, select high quality.

3. Upscale Factor

This setting determines the degree to which your image is upscaled. For example, an upscale factor of 2 doubles both the width and height of the image, resulting in four times the total resolution.

Note: Carefully consider the scale factor. The AI applies more noticeable adjustments to parts of the image around 100px in size.

• For large images, this mostly affects fine details.
• For smaller images, it can significantly alter the overall composition.

If you want to retain specific features, avoid processing it at a size where details could be drastically changed. Even with reduced AI creativity, very small features may still be heavily modified.

Instead, use an upscale factor that makes the feature large enough to retain its intended look.

4. Global Creativity

Creativity dictates how much freedom the AI has to reinterpret your image:

• Low Creativity: Subtle changes, preserving the original structure.
• High Creativity: Reimagines the image significantly.

A higher creativity setting is great for low-quality images that need substantial improvements or if you want to add a lot of new detail.

5. Regional Creativity

The Regional Creativity setting allows you to control the level of creativity for specific areas of the image. Using the editor, you can draw over parts of the image to adjust how much the AI should reinterpret those areas. The opacity of your brush determines the degree of creativity applied:

• Higher Opacity: More creativity applied to that area.
• Lower Opacity: Less creativity applied to that area.

This setting works in combination with Global Creativity. If no areas are highlighted using the editor, it's like drawing over the whole image at 100% opacity.

6. Resemblance

The Resemblance setting controls structure retention:

• Higher Value: Keeps the overall structure intact while forcing new details. However, setting it too high may result in unnatural-looking results.
• Lower Value: Fewer added details with more noticeable shifts in composition.

7. Detail

A higher value enhances image detail significantly, though may alter the original colors.

8. Preserve Small Faces

Ensures minimal changes to faces in your image. This is especially useful for smaller faces that otherwise would get significantly altered. Note that this setting works in combination with Creativity and Resemblance + Detail.

9. Preserve Small Hands

Works like Preserve Small Faces but focuses on hands.
