How upscaling differs from plain enlarging
Plain enlarging, in a photo editor for example, only stretches the pixels, so the picture gets bigger but softer. Here the AI rebuilds the picture at the larger size: edges get sharp, textures clear, and fine detail is drawn again.
Three qualities and what each costs
- Fast: the cheapest, for a preview or a picture without much detail.
- Balanced: for most pictures.
- Best: the most detail, for print and for pictures that matter.
The cost follows the size of the picture the AI builds, and it's on screen before you start. When the size you ask for is larger than the largest the AI builds, the rest of the way is a precise enlargement at no extra cost.
