HOW TO MASTER AI UPSCALING/UP-RES | Stable Diffusion Web UI

A lot of people are struggling with generating AI art to their likings on a local machine, not Midjourney or DALL-E. Today I teach you how to upscale like a pro to get high quality, finished images for your projects! Please share your art with me on the Discord!

Should absolutely mix upscalers to get the best result. It takes a bit of time to dial in the mix recipe right, and you'll have to dial one in per every different model you use, but when done correctly it does yield a better result. A basic mix example that can be used if you're going for realism would be to to use Lanczos as your main upscaler, and then mix in Esrgan 4+ as your second at 0.5 visibility and tweak it up or down based on the initial result.
If you're going for more a more stylized or cartoonish result, substitute Anime 6B for the base Esrgan 4+ in the mix. It's not just for anime, it is a better upscaler for any fantasy, concept art or animation style art in my opinion.
A tip when choosing what to set CodeFormers at - set the visibility to 1 and the strength to whatever you have it set to in your main settings under Face Restoration. Tweak the strength up or down based on the initial upscaled result that you get.
A different option to using the upscalers in Extras is to add the Ultimate SD Upscaler plugin to your scripts in Img to Img. It's more configurable and breaks your image down into grid sections and upscales each "square / rectangle" separately instead of doing 1 pass over the entire image at once. Yields very nice and often more detailed results. There's tutorials around the internet on how to use it's various options.

Thanks for the video. I was really struggling to find a good free upscaler for my AI images and i didn't even know that i have one in web ui)

[EthanReynolds-lwnp]

if you run it locally there is a progress bar in the UI, the results image pane turns into a large loading bar, or maybe its the most recent version

[huiAPPOAJ]

is there anywhere a proper explanation about the SD Upscaler in img2img tab in Scripts? how do I properly use that one?

[CaffeinatedNerds]

Great Video. Thanks and Keep it up. :)

Hi can we upscale the image while processing like once the image processing is done then it should automatically upscale is there any feature like that ?

[AlbertRei]

I want to upscale a specific face from a video, is that possible with a tool ?

[MinsGaming]

There is a progress bar in the command line of the server for this process.

what are the aspects of your computer?

[odesamusic]

How do you make a bad quality image into a good one though? 🤔

[cubapawlac]

Why set the upscaler visibility to 1, while not using second upscaler?

Im struggle with high res image, i see Ai images right now with pretty high res like you can see the detail of the skin. I mean how? i tried upscaling my generated images in diff settings but the quality is getting what i want, something like an ultra quality like a wallpaper. SD just giving large file but the overall quality is the almost the same. I have Rtx 3060 12gb running i windows 11. Sd 1.5 512 res

[Maltebyte]

how do i change 1792 x 2304 to 2560 x 1440 ?

[telstraroenssel]

all of my upscalers resulted in errors
they get various errors, stops, and doesnt give me any image result

these kind of errors:
TypeError: argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable
RuntimeError: unexpected EOF, expected 3405 more bytes. The file might be corrupted.

what i have tried:
1. Reinstall the whole nai diffusion. NOPE. same error
2. tried to google the errors above and checked like >30 reddit/github/forums but they are giving me some fix that i cant even find like add pretrained and force_download on but this folder doesnt even exist in my repo
3. redownload specific models like RESRGAN. same error of stuck at 90-99% download and no result comes out

I don't have a "Restore faces" option on my end. Then again this video is a year old, maybe its auto-included now?

[Cyantist.Official]

"And now I can get it printed, and that will make me much happier in my life." 😂

[pxpq]

i just dont have the hires. fix option...

[MikevomMars]

Would you let us know where to find the SAVE button to save the upscaled image?
