Magnific.AI has shortly develop into one in every of my favorite picture upscalers thats tremendous simple to make use of. There are just a few settings you’ll be able to tweak and begin upscaling your pictures. If you’re questioning the way to get began then take a look at my earlier submit Magnific.AI Upscaler the place I stroll via the interface and present just a few samples.
I additionally posted a video on this which acquired loads of feedback: many individuals don’t like that its paid service and doesn’t provide trial. Nonetheless, I can perceive with the uptake in GPU utilization (Nvidia shares sky-rocketing) it might be a certain strategy to run out of cash in case you are beginning a service.
So to assist individuals get a really feel for the distinction and perceive that if they need this type of high quality they need to pay for this service if it swimsuit their finances and workflow, I’ll do a comparability of each Midjourney upscaled picture by 2x with the identical picture upscaled utilizing Magnific.
You’ll be able to resolve for your self!!

To be able to show the picture, I’ve resized all of them to 1600px huge in order that they don’t seem to be too heavy for the web page to load. Nonetheless the picture high quality must be distinctly comparable as you employ the slider beneath to match.
The panorama picture from Magnific is unquestionably extra superior that the Midjourney upscaled model. The main points are extra distinguished and effectively outlined compared.
The house ship beneath seems to have extra definition within the Magnific upscale vs the Midjourney one. There are another artifacts that seem within the Magnific model that are frequent AI signs when upscaling based mostly on AI fashions.
With the illustrations although each are good and usable, nevertheless Magnific definitely creates extra contract and is considerably sharper than Midjourney model. These are just about at par with solely slight variations the place you possibly can say Magnific is best.
As I had seen with Portaits in my earlier submit Magnific is unquestionably higher on the job than Midjourney and that is just about an open and shut case. There isn’t any comparability in high quality produced by Midjourney could be very closely retouched, lacks particulars, blotchiness in hair, the place as Magnific is way extra superior and accentuating the small print of a human and including reasonable character to the picture.
Particulars are finer and effectively outlined in Magnific model vs Midjourney. It feels that Midjourney is doing related upscaling that Topaz Gigapixel does as standalone software program.

Now it will not be too lengthy earlier than Midjourney enhances their upscaler of their subsequent model (v6) and surpasses Magnific however time will inform if that would be the case. For now, there isn’t any beating the standard of upscaled pictures from Magnific.
