💡 Leonardo's Tip: The higher the Creativity Scale, the more Universal Upscaler may deviate from the original image. Keep the Creativity Scale low if you want an result closer to the original image.
Settings
Creativity Strength: This determines how liberal Universal Upscaler can be with filling in additional details of the image when upscaling it.
Upscaler Style: Style presets that help determine what sort of style should be used when upscaling the image.
Upscale Multiplier: Allows you to determine how large the image should be upscaled by increments of 0.25x, from 1.00x onwards*.
Prompt: An optional setting, useful if you require a prompt to guide the upscaler. It is generally recommended to leave this empty.
* Upscale Multiplier range will vary depending on the resolution of the original image, currently capped at 2x.
⚠️ Notice: The Prompt feature should only be used in cases where something in the image is constantly misinterpreted by the upscaler. When utilizing the prompt feature, the use of concise prompts that provide a general description of the image is recommended.
