Leonardo AI: Universal Upscaler and Prompt Guidance

Demo summary

The instructor uses the Universal Upscaler with 'Prompt Guidance' to sharpen a portrait and zoom in on a subject's face while preventing the AI from adding unwanted freckles.

Step-by-step

  1. Open the Image Generation workspace and enter your main and negative prompts.
  2. Generate the base image using the Diffusion XL model.
  3. Download the image or select it from your generations to bring it into the Universal Upscaler workspace.
  4. Select an Upscale Style, such as Cinematic, from the dropdown menu.
  5. Adjust the Creativity Strength slider to control how much variation the AI adds.
  6. Set the Upscale Multiplier to a high value to enhance small details.
  7. Use the Upscale Dimension settings if you need to zoom in on a specific area like the face.
  8. Enter text into the Prompt Guidance field to prevent the AI from adding unwanted elements during the upscale.
  9. Click the upscale button to process the image using tokens.

Options

  • Upload an external image from your phone, a drawing, or a screenshot instead of using an AI generation.
  • Use the Alchemy Crisp Upscale for a quick enhancement before using the Universal Upscaler.
  • Work with multiple images simultaneously using the timeline feature at the bottom.

Watch out for

  • High creativity strength can result in 'too much' detail or unwanted changes to the original image features.

Tips

  • Keep the upscale multiplier as high as possible to achieve a phenomenal photo with crisp details.
  • Set Creativity Strength between 6 and 7 if you want to enhance the image without changing it significantly.
  • Use the divider tool after upscaling to compare the before and after results side-by-side.
