Hi,
Do you have any ideas how we could upgrade the scale / quality / resolution of the produced images ?
Thanks !

At the moment, in my opinion, diffuse the rest is better than most of it´s counterparts like Dall-E or Midjourney and it is for free... But it seems that Fotos are still simply too much for ai to handle... Images as paintings, computergraphics or chalk drawings for example are mostly of better quality than Fotos. Key words like high quality, high resolution in prompt are working fine for me... for example i made an image of a Crusader knight as computergrafic a few weeks ago... see post 58...

If you're looking for a way to make your images higher resolution, use a upscaler. Here's the best one I could find... https://zyro.com/tools/image-upscaler

I personally use esrgan. Google gives some processing power in a GPU for free, and that's where esrgan runs, in your free quota of a Google Cloud. That amounts for 10- 20 images per day for free. Maybe even more images are . You can make a paid plan and process as many images as you like. In Greece unfortunately i do not have that option, Google Cloud doesn't support a paid plan for my region at the moment. Esrgan has the disadvantage of uploading one image at a time. I created my own Esrgan which is exactly the same as the official Esrgan, except that in my version you can upload many images at once, 10 is the number i chose.

Topazlabs DeNoise AI is a absolute Powerhouse for upscaling, denoising and face reconstruction i think but its not for free.
But it have a nice free version with a watermark for testing the programm.
I regulary using " Denoise by Topazlabs" as a prompt for Stable Diffusion.

Remini - AI Photo Enhancer is also a good for upscaling, denoising and face reconstruction and brings also a free trail wich
is better than the one from Topazlabs because it have no watermark but limitations instead for the free version.

G´Mic ( Also simply called GMic ) is a Full-Featured Open-Source Framework for Image Processing.
Its available for a lot of programs as an Addon. Its free and i personally using it with Krita or Gimp wich is also completly free
and powerfull. Gimp is more for editing and Krita more for painting.
G´Mic has a very huge filterlibrary, with denoisers, filters who add more details and a lot more. The filters mostly very customizable,
its beautiful.
