How To Upscale Midjourney Images To High Resolution

Upscaling images to higher resolutions is a common need for many creatives and professionals working with digital art and photography. Here is a step-by-step guide to upscale your Midjourney images to high resolution:

Step 1: Upscaling the Image in Midjourney

To begin, start by clicking the U button that corresponds to the image you'd like to upscale in your Midjourney application. This will initiate the first round of upscaling.

Step 2: Additional Upscaling Options

Once the initial upscaling is complete, you have options for additional upscaling:

Upscale 2X: Doubles the resolution from the first upscale.
Upscale 4X: Quadruples the resolution from the initial upscale.

Step 3: Using Photoshop for Larger Images

If the 4X upscaling still doesn't meet your needs, you can open the 4X upscaled image in Photoshop to further increase the size:

Open the image in Photoshop.
Navigate to Image > Image Size.
In the Image Size dialog box, ensure ‘Preserve Details 2.0’ is selected in the Resample dropdown menu. This option optimizes upscaling results.

Step 4: Bulk Upscaling Using Photoshop Actions

For bulk operations, you can record the resizing process as an action in Photoshop and then run it as a batch on a folder of Midjourney images:

Go to Window > Actions to open the Actions panel.
Click the Create New Action button and record the resizing steps.
Save the recorded action.
Use File > Automate > Batch to apply this action to a folder of images.

Step 5: Creating Mockups

If your final step is to create mockups for showcasing your Midjourney images, you can further automate this process by using the Batch Replace Smart Objects plugin in Photoshop. This plugin allows you to replace smart objects in multiple mockups efficiently.
