Guides, comparisons, and deep-dives on AI image upscaling, generation, and creative tools.
ESRGAN has different training checkpoints for photos, illustrations, anime, and text. Using the wrong one gives you worse results than bicubic upscaling. Here's the decision tree.
Read article →Video upscaling is harder than image upscaling — you have to handle motion, temporal consistency, and compression artifacts all at once. Here's how AI does it.
Read article →Bicubic, Lanczos, nearest-neighbor — traditional upscaling has been around for decades. Here's what changes when you swap an algorithm for a neural network trained on millions of images.
Read article →You generated a beautiful AI image. Then you printed it and it fell apart. Here's exactly why that happens — and the workflow that prevents it.
Read article →The difference between good and bad upscaling isn't the software — it's the approach. Here's the method that consistently produces clean results.
Read article →72 DPI looks fine on your screen and terrible in print. 300 DPI does the opposite. Here's what's actually happening — and how to get the right one.
