Magnific is charging for using things you can already do in Stable Diffusion (SDXL). They're likely using IMG2IMG to get improved details with denoise strength. They're then using an upscaler with further denoising to make it even clearer and larger. However, for the average "Joe," it's far too much legwork to try and get this done on their junky home PC. The near instant looking changes proves they're using an A6000 or better GPU. Their product is good for journeymen AI users, but not for professionals.
What I want to know upfront would be what is the maximum size for any image we would upload? I'm more interested in enhancing the detail of my images as their sample images demonstrated, than upscaling them. Because my photos are large enough already, it's the detail enhancement that interests me the most. Also, this appears to be an online app only. What I'd really like is either a standalone program i can download and use alongside Photoshop or, better yet, as a plug-in for Photoshop. Also, I'd want a permanent license instead of a subscription. I could see myself being willing to pay maybe $299 for that. That's about $100 over the price of Topaz Gigapixel, which does upscaling only. You know, come to think of it, the Only demo photos they're showing on the Magnific website are for the detail enhancement feature. We don't really know anything about how well Magnific upscales compared to Gigapixel or any others.
Thank you so much Pratik for the very informative tutorial! It would be highly appreciated if you make a tutorial on upscaling procedure, you were mentioning in your video! Good luck!
GPU power cost $$$... invite me to your home, rent free for a month all included, if i like it then ill pay.... now do this with thousands of people...
@@pratiknaikeduI was able to accidentally use Magnific as trial for 50 credits(each image consuming 10 credits) but now they have scrapped that probably 😊🥲
I;, loving the creative side of AI and been looking if there are any future careers fir this,If so do you know of any future careers in this creative AI path
The jobs in AI on the creative side could be creating imagery for people look for it who don't know how to do it. Mastering techniques and programs and coming up with offerings for people who are looking to fill a gap in the visual market. It's very open ended and could lead to a lot of new ideas that aren't thought of yet because it's so new.
Unfortunately not like you would expect. However you can get one image going, and swap it out with another one and hit upscale before the first one is done.
Fortunately it operates by credits so you pay according to usage. I still have many unused credits from a purchase a couple of months ago. Came handy on a work project recently.
You know, generative fill really surprised me. I didn't think they would have come out with a generational leap in tools so quick. So there's no telling! And with Adobe Firefly trying to be competitive, they may simply just make it user friendly and include a setting to be photo real in their generative results. Let's see! Things are changing so fast right?
It does best with low res to higher res, you can use higher resolution images but it will cost more per generation. I wish there was a way to keep the resolution the same, while adding in the detail that I come to expect with it. A true detailer mode.
That's a great idea and I will do that! In the meantime here's a general observation: Look at how each pixel in this image has been completely transformed, resulting in a significantly different and more detailed outcome with Magnific. This approach essentially recreates the entire image with enhanced details. In contrast, Topaz adopts a more conservative approach, aiming to retain the overall resemblance to the original image while eliminating any artifacts. It strategically fills in gaps where necessary but refrains from drastically altering the original content to the same extent. This distinction is the reason I categorize them as "detailer" and "upscaler," respectively. The former focuses on meticulous detail enhancement, while the latter prioritizes preserving the essence of the original image. I hope that helps in the meantime!
We already are, and eventually, every creative to be honest. And a little further down the line, every job. We need to start talking about what that world looks like when no one has to work. It's a weird world we're headed to.
You are right, at this current moment they are missing emotion, especially in the expression. Probably a good thing to keep it so that we can distinguish between photographs and AI images.
You can use it on photography as well, though the use case wouldn't be as great. I like Topaz and also the Neural Filters in Photoshop for photos at the moment.
its a huge scam dont do my mistake and plus youtube videos of this app look good but its super shitty and when u try to cancel subscriptions it lags and i kept paying for this horrible app for nothing

It looks promising, but the website doesn't offer a trial, and the subscription cost is too high.
Indeed, I wish they had a trial! It would convince people a lot quicker resulting in a higher user base right away.

Be sure to wait till it loads in HD and higher to watch :)

Thank you for the review! I tried it. Like other upscalers, the problem is hands, even at low creativity and high resemblance.
This is great, thanks! Would be great if you could do the neural photoshop stage as mentioned?
It looks great but the pricing is insane. It even costs like 2-3 times the price of midjourney
Definitely! If you have no purpose for this very specialized tool, it is not worth the money.
I like to blend the before (softer aspects) and after (added detail) together. Have you done any of this yourself?
Se ve bueno. Sobre todo por qué muchos otros upscalers le quitan mucho detalle a la foto original.
Not a word about feet and hands when upscaling. Does it mess up?
Does Magnific offer a preview of your image before you commit to the upscale?
no
How to get the free trial with 50 tokens?
Does it enhance old / black&white photos ?
$40 a month? What am I, rich? And no trial? That's pretty obnoxious of them.
GPU power cost $$$...
invite me to your home, rent free for a month all included, if i like it then ill pay.... now do this with thousands of people...
what's the largest size it produces?
Although Magnific is excellent but subscription price is too high.
Indeed, I would at least like to see a limited number of trials before paying.

I am trying to find the "PAY PAGE" WHERE IS THE LINK, thanks
Once you login, simply click the top right "upgrade".
Is it possible to use it with batch sequencing?
Unfortunately not like you would expect. However you can get one image going, and swap it out with another one and hit upscale before the first one is done.
Sorry my friend, But I dont get it, pay for upscaling? is that much better
Yes, there's nothing that adds detail to images like this does. It's mind blowing. Eventually something will be free or cheaper.
It's expensive, but it's absolutely insane, especially nature upscales
I’ll def wait for one that doesn’t cost near $40 a month but amazing indeed
I just bought this and it didnt download to my computer

will it be in Photoshop in a year? 😛

Thank you so much as always Pratik!
Its cool,but the only problem is, it only accepts low resolution pictures.

@@pratiknaikedu how to lower it so that it can be used
hm... can you compare it to Topaz? looks really cool

Huh. No trial, not even one image. So much for that. Ain't paying for something I can't test a few images on.
It is impressive however $39 a month....hmmmmm
Wow! Above my affordability!

No trial without paying 40? Waste of time..
cost to much, souldnt not be limited to generated images like midjorney
