Posting a few upscales from other threads, and taking requests.

Upscaling increases the resolution of images, fills in details, sharpens away blurriness, etc.

It's a fraught process. You can't recover signal that's not there, only infer. In some cases, it can lead to a lot of facial drift, while in other cases, the image just looks overly embossed/sharpened, or a more crisp kind of grainy.

But when it works, it works, and is good both for increased enjoyment, and lends itself better to edits, since there are more pixels to edit, and no dissonant mismatch between blurry / poorly illuminated features and the alterations of the editing model.

I'm not going to upscale nudes in this thread. It's not because I'm against nudes, and in fact, making better nudes is a major motivation for upscaling in the first place.

However, there's a dicey philosophical line between enhancing nudes and creating nudes, especially where upscaling adds a lot of detail, and the line points toward a likely ban for nudify edits.

>>956307514
Of course, anon.

I'm not 100% thrilled with these, but my GPU is slow, I don't have the luxury of picking the best of 5 edits. Just have to roll with what we've got.

Yeah, exactly. One could refine further and get more fidelity, but resources are, sadly, limited.

I'd say for NSFW applications, upscaling works best on body and clothing rather than facial details.

Nearly all upscaling models and tools have a tendency to make skin a bit more "leathery", add age, etc., in an effort to impart "detail", and it's something one has to fight against. Naturally, it's a stochastic process and the fight isn't altogether successful.

>>956307588
But of course.

>>956306633
any luck with her? got more in case

>>956307856
I don't mind the "detail" on the skin so much, as long as it still looks like the girl you know

Yeah, sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. You can usually get something pretty good if you can crank out several edits and just pick the best one. That's a bit of a luxury in this case.

If this proves popular, I'll spin up a rented GPU and produce at more industrial scale, maybe.

There are trade-offs with upscaling. It's not quite accurate to say that it's a 4K version of the reality depicted in a 640x480 pic. Compromises are made.

Still, once you upscale, it's hard to go back. Blurry pics become insufferable.

I wish I could take credit, but just got lucky with the dice roll and the many passes. Pic definitely very hot. And with the vivid colours, I knew it'd turn out well.

Thank you, great work

>>956308272
Everything's possible. :) I fear there may be facial drift with this one. Let's see what happens. Either way, it's in the queue.
>>
>>956308127
I tried. I'm not sure I succeeded, especially as far as skin tone, and am willing to re-run if this doesn't cut it.
>>
>>956308272
Here's a first pass. I'm going to run another with a more intensive process, this one's a hard case.
>>
>>956307514
Still really hoping you do this one Wiz

This looks like a fun project, almost a labour of love, like restoring and remastering old tapes or something. But I said I wouldn't do nudes in this thread, I probably need to stick to that. Sorry.
