Using Budgetpixel's upscale feature to give more detail to your works

There are many tools available to create high quality works, however some times there are tools that will focus on generating works in quantity rather than quality. There are ways to improve the quality of those works so that you can use them in a number ways whether to upload them, print them etc. While being a cool image of a dark god rising from the molten ashes, if you look closely at it, the details are somewhat washed out and the pixelation really degrades the look of the image. We can fix this using Budgetpixel's in house image editor with the upscale tool. Under the design studio, click on "images", then "Edit image" from the drop down menu, open/create a project. Next you see a bar on the side, click the upload option and select the image you want. Next you click on the upscale feature. This feature allows you to upscale any kind of image, introducing new details, it also smooths out the edges, takes a simple color palette and makes it richer and deeper, improving your image in a number of different ways. You can experiment with the options available, I generally allow it to do 2x upscale. Default "creativity" setting is 0.10, you can increase this to allow the AI upscaler to have more creativity when introducing new details. I recommend staying within 0.10 to 0.35 I used a setting of 0.25 on the dark god receiving this result in turn, you can see more details and better coloration. I'll post a few more examples. The original up above. And this one I did 0.25 upscale not once, but twice, bringing out clearer and richer detail with each upscale. Original. Took the original and did a 0.15 upscale, then did a 0.20 upscale again and received this. Notice how much more detail came out in the faces and the armor isn't as blurry, amazing! The original up above, wanted to see what it would look like with different upscales. This one using 0.15 upscale. The details in some places change but it is generally the same image, and more detailed. This one is using 0.25 many more details are changed including the eyes being opened more slightly which also creates a serene look as the woman dances in the water. And finally... why not? Let's see what happens at 1.0 creativity! As you can see the AI upscaler hallucinates the image enormously changing the subject matter almost completely! Try this out if you're into surreal and pseudo horror imagery! :) Hope you enjoyed this short demonstration of the Budgetpixel upscaler! It is a very useful tool that I use quite often. It adds detail, automatically adjusts colors in a way that is more pleasant and interesting, and for 30 credits per upscale, it is reasonably cheap!
