NEW Flux Upscaler Gives INSANE Results!
Howto & Style
Introduction
Hello friends! I’m excited to share some remarkable updates in AI-driven image enhancement. Three new ControlNet models for Flux have been released, and one of them has completely blown my mind! Let’s dive into the details.
The Upscaling Model
One of the newly launched models is an upscaling tool that showcases astonishing potential. Currently, there is no update for ControlNet that supports local running, but you can utilize the online demo available, albeit it may be crowded with users.
To give you an idea of the capabilities of this upscaling model, I used an image of a beautiful cat that I downloaded from Pixabay. This original image had poor compression and size. I then strongly compressed the image and resized it to 200 pixels. The results were dramatically pixelated with minimal details. However, after applying the upscale model, the difference was nothing short of magical!
The upscaled image is not simply a restoration of the original; it has skillfully removed compression artifacts and enhanced the details. For instance, examining the area around the cat's face showed that all the beard hairs, which were initially lost in the low-quality image, are now clearly visible.
While the reconstruction of details might not perfectly replicate the original nuances, the improvement is extraordinary. You must note, though, that if you use an image of a person, the generated face might look noticeably different since the model reconstructs lost details rather than restoring the original image.
Additional Models
Alongside the upscale model, two other ControlNet models were launched, including a normals model and a depth map model. These offer exciting new capabilities, although, as of now, there is no online demo for these models, and they cannot be run locally.
Rumor has it that an update for Comu as well as for the Forge UI might be on the horizon, enabling broader accessibility to these advanced tools. I can't wait to explore how these new models will enhance my collection of old, noisy photos.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the new upscaling model demonstrates incredible advancements in image enhancement technology. While still in development for local use, you can try the online demo right now.
