Demo summary

The user demonstrates upscaling an old photograph of New York City using the 'UltraSharp' general photo model to restore blurry text and background details.

Step-by-step

Click Select Image on the left-hand side to upload a new photograph
Select General Photo from the model dropdown menu
Choose the UltraSharp model variant
Set the image upscale factor (e.g., 4x)
Click Upscale
Use the slider on the results screen to compare the before and after versions

Options

Select a new image without closing the app
Choose from different General Photo model variants
Upscale repetitively by running an already upscaled image through the process again

Tips

Try out different models for each photo as every image responds differently
Be prepared for longer processing times; complex upscales can take up to 2 minutes or more depending on the settings
