The Most INSANE AI Image Upscaler, EVER!

[Music]

so that my friend is generative AI on

steroids but when it takes too much

steroids or you do too much this is what

you get so we definitely need to strike

a balance so here's a pretty soft image

no detail in the eyes skin texture

absolutely non-existent the hair is a

whole different mess as soon as you put

it in processing in this mysterious AI

let's wait for the results it uses

generator AI to create those insane

details take a look at the skin take a

look at the lips take a look at the

eyelashes it is just crazy the eyebrows

now speaking of reality let's see if you

can tell the difference between an AI

generated image or a real image so one

of these images is AI generated and the

other one is a real photo can you tell

which is which so let us zoom in a

little bit to give you a little more

input can you now tell the photo on the

left is actually a real photo from Adobe

stock quite overly retouched and the

photo on the right is an AI generated

image looks more natural in some ways

but AI generated images are quite soft

they look like this right and this is

the actual AI generated image so how did

it get from this to this I got to know

about this from my talented friend

pratique and let's see what he created

this is the first image that I took a

look at and it boggled my mind so here

is an image created in mid Journey AI

generated and the details are added

later using this mysterious AI it is

just insane we'll get to real photos

later but for right now let us take this

image it's very soft the skin is way too

soft and you can clearly tell that this

is AI generated let's upload it to the

platform going to be working with today

and that is magnific no this is not

sponsored at all the platform is very

very expensive given that you have to do

a couple of trial and Evers and you have

limited credits speaking of limitations

do you know where you can find

incredible music for your videos without

any limitations epidemic sound the

sponsor of today's video even when you

have a huge library of tracks finding

the right one is always a challenge with

epidemic sound you just upload your

video clip and its AI automatically

suggests You music based on your video

clip it's AI all over the place besides

you can filter your genre the sub genre

the pace and even the mood to exactly

pinpoint the song you're looking for and

the best part is you get to download

separate tracks for the same music you

can choose the drums you can turn off

the melody you can just keep the vocals

it's all up to you you get all the

controls you never have to worry about

copyright strikes or takedowns and I've

been using epidemic sound since way

before the sponsorship because you get

to have unlimited tracks for a single

subscription fee check out the link in

description to get an absolutely free

trial any videos where you use the music

during the trial will remain safe and

protected even if you cancel your

subscription so why not try it back to

the video and we have our image uploaded

on the left hand side please don't focus

on the right don't judge me for it right

now you can upscale 2x more coming soon

and meanwhile you can of course upscale

multiple times let's scroll down you

have different optimizations you can

choose portraits video game assets right

now I'm going to choose films and

photography because that's what it

actually is you can write in a prompt to

guide the upscaling process so I'm just

going to type in Japanese woman wearing

a red lipstick let's scroll down on the

left hand side and we're going to get

get to these sliders later for right now

let's keep it these settings you have

different engines as well automatic

works great most of the time and you can

leave it at that you can also use the

Sharpie one which is good and let's see

what it does take a look at the details

so on your left you have your previous

before and as we swipe in we have the

after have a look at the skin texture it

kind of makes her look a little bit

older we're going to fix that later but

have a look at the details there was no

skin texture here is the after that is

crazy have a look in the eyes have a

look at the eyelashes have a look at the

lips it's just insane and even if you

have a look at the clothes look at the

embroidery before after look at the

details added later even on the skin of

the body you have all the pores and

every texture therein added have a look

at the hair as well this looks

artificial but here's the after have a

look at it right now it's crazy but that

is not all how do we fix the too much

details added on the face well this is

the channel for Photoshop so so let us

download this photo by clicking on this

button and bring it into Photoshop so

right here in Photoshop here's the

before and here is the after massive

difference now why don't we also use AI

to retouch this again press controll or

command J to make a copy of this lay

let's go to filter and these are the

plugins I highly highly recommend to all

professionals whether you're a

photographer commercial retoucher it

uses CI to retouch automatically take a

look at this so this is retouch for me

you have the heel for removing blemishes

but there are no blemishes so we're

going to directly go to dodge burn it

does high-end dodging and burn

absolutely automatically and just take a

look you can choose how much dodging and

burning you want using the blend at the

top so this is nothing this is all the

way up so we're going to keep it 164

check soft light layer hit apply this

creates an actual soft light layer

change the blend mode from normal to

soft light and have a look at it by the

way I think they're running a winter

Christmas sale check the link in

description to get an exclusive 30% off

but before that I highly recommend that

you get the trial version try this

plugin with your images and see how it

performs and then and be the judge in

this case here's the before and here is

the after very subtle now when you look

at the image you also have the texture

of realism without unnecessary details

now does that mean that this AI is going

to work the same on a real photo so here

I have a photo which is a bit more

retouch than I would like it to be for

my personal taste and let's see if you

can add some texture to it so these are

my settings let us take a look at the

before and after so here is the before

of course and here is the after have a

look at the eyelashes at the top I've

not used any prompt here here's the

before here's the after have a look in

the eyes here's the before here's the

after of course you can upscale it

multiple times and the details on the

lips is crazy but there's one problem

with this it is not the same person and

that is the thing with this AI it

changes the person quite a bit and

depending on your settings it can change

them even more let's talk about the

details and the variance of change it

has its own qus so here's the I before

and here is the after the details are

amazing look at the eyelashes before

unrealistic here's the after straight

out of the camera but if you take a look

at the lips before after that's fine pay

close attention to the teeth it kind of

divides that here's the before here's

the after see it so there are few quirks

but thankfully we have Photoshop but

sometimes the changes are way too much

so right here it's an amazing upscale

but it changes the eyes so these are the

eyes before and here's the after it

changes the gut of the eyes a little bit

of the shape of the eyes you have to

find a way to work with that or reduce

the settings even more do an upscale

increase the settings for other areas to

an upscale and do some kind of

compositing in Photoshop maybe besides

the skin it also adds gr detail to the

hair and clothes so have a look at the

hair here's the before of course not so

real here is the after every strand

every FlyAway hair is just depicted

perfectly even if you take a look at the

close here's the before not much detail

right here but here is the after all the

intricate details added but besides that

have a look at the finger right here it

kind of missed the fingernail and either

way it was not properly done in the AI

image now how much the upscale changes

from the original image depends on one

slider and that is the creativity slider

right here let's compare it so I've made

the upscale on the left with creativity

of two and on the right the creativity

is at eight so here's the before have a

look at these items right here and after

they are more refined there's more shine

and it looks very much more metallic

there was no detail right here here's

the before here's the after detail is

added have a look at this machine before

after all of the machines and the

gadgets and gizmos are more refined it

maintained the texture of the leather

right there here's the before here's the

after it is still the same item but

here's creativity 8 it allows the AI to

hallucinate a little bit gives it more

freedom removes it away more from the

original so here's the before and here

is the after adds way more details than

there actually was yes the before there

was nothing there and it adds maybe a

fuel cup cap sorry have a look at this

machine right there basic right now it

is way more advanced here's the before

look at this thing right there and

here's the after look at the tags and

everything look at the belt here's the

before very basic here's the after let

me share with you a delicious example

here's the before the food looks amazing

here is the after now it's even more

detailed before after look at it but

when the creativity is high it turns

into Gordon ramzi on steroids so here's

the before and here is the after where

the heck did those oranges come inside

of the eggs maybe it's a different dish

and this is just creativity at 8 when I

turned at 10 faces started to appear on

on the bowl so much so that I couldn't

show it in this video because it would

be censored now if you really want to

get the details going you can upscale

the image twice and here's how to do

that so here we have already upscaled

this image before after a lot more

details if you want to upscale it again

click on this button right there and

choose reuse upscaled image so right now

the upscaled image will be uploaded

right here and you can upscale it again

with the same settings by the way if you

want to recall a setting from a previous

image or something for example Le you

want the same settings as this you can

click on this button again and choose

reuse parameters so that the settings

used in this upscaling will be copied

right here so you can use any parameter

you want so I'm going to just reuse the

parameters that I used in this image

previously and click on upscale again

notice this this will cost you 15

credits so larger upscales will cost you

15 credits and smaller ones will cost

you five let's click on upscale it

really eats up your credits really fast

there you go it's done it was already

upscaled and now it is upscaled even

more look at the details before after

crazy let's try real photo again with

faces it changes the faces quite a bit

but if we have something like a

landscape even if it changes it a little

bit it should be fine right so here's

the low resolution landscape we have

upscale this so here is the before and

here is the after how do you feel about

that it is creating new trees before as

you can see the trees are different

after have a look at it do you like it

do you not let me know have a look there

was nothing there it's basically

creating a farmhouse in there yes's the

after it completely changed that area

but if you're okay with this this is a

wonderful upscale but is it photography

that's something up for discussion let

us talk about it in the comments now

just for fun and since we are more

conscious of our own face let us try

this Inception right here so this is a

snapshot from one of my other videos and

this is captured in 1080p

let's see if this can improve it so

here's the before so far it's good

before after not much change but have a

look at the

face after I mean it changes me this is

absolutely not me here's the before

here's the after it looks like me but I

don't like it I just don't like it I

highly recommend that you try it with

your face and then judge because right

now some of you may go hey it just looks

maybe exactly like you but to me this

doesn't look right just doesn't and I

think you may have seen this as a

blooper in the beginning beginning of

the video this is Carl CJ Johnson from

GTA San Andreas so I tried to upscale

that by the way for the settings I used

3D render so right here if you scroll

down here in the optimized Force section

you have different ones so I tried 3D

render and this is what it did so here's

the before and here is the after not bad

not bad it renders it perfectly have a

look at the edges just it does it nice

here's the after so before after I also

tried with other settings like films and

photography and here is the after looks

like0 50 Cent so what do you think of

all of this what do you think of this

brand new AI upscaling technology where

do you think this is going and I really

hope so that it works with images more

perfectly in the future right now it

changes the images a lot I'm talking

about real actual photos that would

absolutely change the game my biggest

gripe with this is the pricing it is

just insanely expensive not just because

it's a monthly subscription but you do

get a limited number of credits in all

of those plans and since you have no

option to buy credits once your credits

are over and I didn't want to upgrade to

another plan I had to use a different

email account to sign up again for this

plan right here $39 so anyway if you're

interested in face swap videos and how

to use AI to swap faces there's a free

AI up to some extend of cost there's a

free AI that lets you do that I think

they give you 30 40 50 credits I'm not

sure but you can do quite a few for free

so you can check out that video right

here and that's pretty much it for this

one thank you so much for watching

don't move like that don't make me

pretend I don't see a short coming
