I guess you are right, but this has a more nostalgic feeling, which I like a lot.
The juice is worth the squeeze. It's easy to get discouraged by sameness/poor results when starting, but once you find just the right prompt and follow it, it becomes well worth it.
Finally what I was looking for when AI started: porn of Mea, by far the best but sadly underused girl in the series. Hope this continious. I am looking forward.
really like your works, which settings do u use in ultimate sd upscaler?
My workflow as of now is upscaling an image 2x with anime sharp separately first in Extras tab because the image are processed through img2img multiple times with varying denoise. With a tile size of around 896x896, the first upscaled image uses 0.5, 0.45, 0.4 denoise usually. Afterwards I take all those three images and pick out the details that are fine in each denoise and mask them in photoshop. After some fixes the finished product is upscaled once again 2x and put through img2img. With each 2x upscale, the ultimate sd upscaler will have a hard time processing each tiles since the image is too big for each tile to have context. Because of that I decrease my denoise levels to a certain degree where weird details won't pop up. In general, less than 1024x1024 size images can get away with 0.5,0.45, and 0.4 denoise, 2048x2048 can get away with 0.48, 0.45, 0.4, Larger than 4096x4096 sometimes can get away with 0.4, I tend to use 0.38, 0.34, and 0.3 denoise on the final upscale.
