Thanks to new upscalers, a new development of Midjourney feature, we now can enlarge our creation 2, or even 4, times! That gives us 2048 pixels and 4096 pixels accordingly for a 1:1 aspect ratio at a resolution of 72 dpi. The really awesome part? It goes backwards!!! You can resize/enlarge your previous generations!
We tested the new Midjourney feature with pleasure and awesome effects. No, really. For its first launch, and out first attempts, everything went surprisingly smooth. For now, the only small detail we noticed was the slight artificial smoothness in the 4x version. A bit too much blur, maybe?
In the 2x option, the time of upscaling is a bit longer, but with the 4x option, it gets way much longer than than normally, and requires more GPU than a regular upscale.
Official information about feature from Midjourney:
More information:
- You can see 2x and 4x upscale buttons under any normal V5 or Nij job after clicking U1/U2/U3/U4
- You can use it on old jobs using / show jobid
- The upscaler is subtle and tries to keep details as close as possible to the original image (but may not fix glitches or issues with the old image)
- The 4x upscaler costs roughly 3x more GPU minutes than the 2x upscaler
Please Note:
- Both upscalers only work with fast-gpu time right now
- We don’t know if we have enough GPUs yet to enable it in relax mode.
- We may do brief load tests over the coming week where we enable it on relax mode and see what happens.
Known issues:
- Under very rare occasions you may see get a black or corrupted image on 4x upscales (we are investigating)
- A blurry low resolution image will not be ‘unblurred’ by upscales
Images might get slightly slightly darkened sometimes by upscalers
