The Best AI Image Upscaler Just Leveled Up 16x!

Today we're taking a deep dive into the latest update from Magnific.AI, a remarkable AI Image Upscaler which has the unique feature of adding an additional spark of creativity to your image.

In the latest update, Magnific now allows to 16x your image, but there is a limitation that we'll go over in the video. I'm taking a deep dive into all the controls and providing lot of creative examples with how you can use this remarkable AI tool.

Additionally, we'll be taking a look at some AI Art Controversy that recently surfaced regarding the Card game "Magic The Gathering" and some AI generated assets.

I'll also be taking a look at some emerging Holodeck (for real!) technology coming from Meta, and a few announcements from CES 2024.

Finally, we'll round out with some insider tips on creating Consistent AI Characters in Scenario, which I covered in the last video!

$40 a month for an upscaler with limited uses is a lot as most people who do AI art just do it casually. I would like to try it but I can't spend $40 to try it. Wish they had a trial.

I don’t care if it’s 50x. There is no way I am going to pay $50-90 per month for a glorified upscaler.

I love your videos Tim, but I just, for the life of me, _cannot_ understand Magnific's business model of not even offering a free trial - for 2 days, with limited outputs, with watermarks, that self-destruct in 10 seconds! Sure, the platform has an obvious USP, but I want to try it on _my_ material. I'm financially secure enough to pay for it, but out of principle, I will not. I couldn't even find a support or contact button! KREA it is for me. Magnific could...4X...their number of users. That's upscaling the smart way. Thanks for the video. 👍

Tim. $40 a month? On top of paying for Chat Gpt, Midjourney, Adobe Creative Suite, Gen 2, etc... It's an expense which is it's just plain unrealistic unless you're a studio. I'm REALLY hope someone comes out with an affordable Magnific killer soon.

For graphic design, crazy upscaling like 16x makes for a great one-two punch for producing vectorized art.

Do an AI upscale of a vector-friendly raster image (e.g. a Midjourney-created logo or sticker). AI upscaling intelligently follows lines and curves, producing clean results instead of the over-sharpening fringing with older upscaling methods.

Next, take the result and auto-trace in an app like Adobe Illustrator. Typical vector-tracing artifacts — even from Adobe’s archaic auto-trace — virtually disappear due to the enormous increase in resolution.

I have tried 4x -> 4x with another upscaler with great results but will certainly give Magnfic a try with 16x in one go. That said, Magnific lacks a PNG download option (unless I'm missing something... and JPEG is precisely the wrong format for crisp graphics.

Magnific is great but so expensive. Literally costs as much as 4 generators combined, per month.

[DivaAi]

Another great video! Thank you for the entertaining and informative videos, Tim! :D

[TheFuzzypuddle]

This is incredible compared to other upscalers I'm familiar with.
7:26 I love the "stretch limo" cab.

[micbab-vgmu]

Thank you for the video - At the beginning I was sceptic about Magnific AI bacause of the price - but after testing it I like it.

[AnnysLopez-fysg]

Wow the details are insane! Can't wait to try it on my old family photos.

The Magic: the Gathering part reminded me of a similar case. Bloomsbury and SJM stated they wouldn't commission AI art, even though the former used an AI stock photo for the latter's UK edition.

[Paulo-utli]

I’ll keep combining TOPAZ and Stable Diffusion upscalers like LSDR and 4KNMD, the quality is pretty close for much lower price.

[Scott-Zakarin]

The Magnific upcaler update is a game changer. I know what I'm doing tomorro. 🙂

[thewebstylist]

Great vid highlight and Def hoping a Magnific competitor comes along and soon, Next Level tech indeed!

[sbabybuddha]

I have zero issues with the price because I’m using it for profit. One of my items will pay for 3 months of use. I love it.

[StuffedGamer]

that 16x time Magnific reminds me of the nonsense image enhancement in the CSI tvshow :D (imagine if that would have generated random details tho)

[LouisGedo]

If that is supposed to be a human silhouette in the reflection, that can be kinda awesome.

Imagine being able to prompt specifically for certain new things to become part of a high level upscale?

That would bring us quite a bit closer to infinite zooming !!!

[christopherd.winnan]

Do you have a link to that hi res renaissance style mega picture? It would be nice to be able to explore some of the details.

[tommullinerart]

It would be interesting to see what happens to the NYC street scene when you ask it to upscale sections of it at a time, then restitch them back together.

[StuStobbs]

awesome update on magnifc thanks. i use it all the time and love it. do you find that using an un-upscaled midjourney image works better than an up-scaled one? i am not sure - i find that sometimes it works better either way?
