HUGE Update to Midjourney Upscaler!!

October 19, 2023 - Midjourney released an UPSCALE update allowing users to increase their image 2x or 4x!
According to their announcement:
More information:
You can see 2x and 4x upscale buttons under any normal V5 or Niji job after clicking U1/U2/U3/U4
You can use it on old jobs using /show jobid
The upscaler is subtle and tries to keep details as close as possible to the original image (but may not fix glitches or issues with the old image)
The 4x upscaler costs roughly 3x more GPU minutes than the 2x upscaler

Please Note:
Both upscalers only work with fast-gpu time right now
We don't know if we have enough GPUs yet to enable it in relax mode.
We may do brief load tests over the coming week where we enable it on relax mode and see what happens.

Known issues:
Under very rare occasions you may see get a black or corrupted image on 4x upscales (we are investigating)
A blurry low resolution image will not be 'unblurred' by upscales
Images might get slightly slightly darkened sometimes by upscalers

This is a quick review of this latest feature and how to employ it and get your images!
Enjoy.
