    now, we get back to basics and use the Redefine model and the original or regularly upscaled image in photoshop with layer masks and blending modes and start painting in the details that you want in the places and spaces that you need. This is the best way (for now) to use your tools to create the most impactful images with the most control.

    • @WadeMcMaster

      Totally agree. AI art + good upscaler + Photoshop = limitless potential. For pro artists, designers or any visual creative it's a solid stack and skillset.

    VERY excited to try this out. I’ve been working with diffusion models for years now, and have developed upscaling workflows that can match Magnific in comfyui (in CERTAIN photos. Namely people and human portraits) ….. and I’ve been generally let down by gigapixel thus far. This was what I felt was missing. I’ll try this out tonight and comment here with how it compares.

    6:53 As far as the creativity level goes, it would be helpful if we could use masking to be able to apply different levels of creativity to different parts of the image. Some parts of the image might look better with a higher level of detail, while other parts like the eyes in this case don’t look so great with so much added detail. For example, the eye in this image looks distorted on the generations that have more detail. On the higher detail version, for some reason, the iris size has been made smaller, and there are these strange striated lines on the white part of the eye that appear to be radiating from the iris. There should be no lines like that on the white part of the eye.

      - no seed option I can find right now
      2-have you tried it in a batch sequence to see the consistency?
      - I haven't but that's a great idea. I have noticed minor difference between the prevew and output though, nothing concerning though.
      3-do you think Topaz will bring this diffusion model into the video app?
      - that would be AMAZING - however I don't believe it will happen anytime soon, although I could be wrong.

    • @WadeMcMaster
      @WadeMcMaster  13 годин тому

      I think this upscaler is a response to the upscalers like Magnific, so it is similar in nature.
      I want to add thought that basic upscalers, coupled with this make it the best stack imo - as you can add a tonne of detail, get a decent sized image, then use high fidelity or another basic upscaler to get it up to that next level size which doesn't require insane intricate details.
      So the total package is what sells it for me - until then I used to use Leonardo Ai's universal upscaler (simialr ot magnific and krea, and sometimes I still will use it), then Id bring that image into topaz for the second step.

      It's not that expensive and being locked into a subscription basically means if you don't buy the monthly pass you don't get access this you actually get the version you buy for the year and if you're happy with the current version you don't have to keep buying a monthly subscription you can keep using the software so this is a much better deal

      However, there are alternatives if this isn't for you. Upscayl is free - qualtiy is nowhere near the samew as this but incredibly useful if you are budget conscious.

    This uses about 20GB of RAM even generating a small preview. you need minimum 32 gig even on M3 pro Macs to make this remotely bearable locally. If you have very powerful hardware it works, like running Flux 1.1 locally but without it you are going to be paying a lot to process these via the cloud. Topaz are charging a lot to run redefine via the cloud.
    Although the models do what they say you need serious hardware or else the $99 is just the entrance fee to the new features. Magnific have set the price bar and Topaz look set to follow.

      It does take some processing power, but you can line a few up and process them overnight or plan it out . I do agree though, a good computer is what will make it more usable. If you're in a creative business that uses this technology its not massive cost. I remember many times charging $75ish just to upscale an image in Photoshop for a client, trying to tidy up the process and get it looking decent and this is way better and faster
