Midjourney Upscaler is a valuable tool that enhances your generated images by increasing their size and improving their quality. It allows you to make your pictures sharper and more detailed, perfect for various creative projects. Here’s a simple guide to get started.
1. Generate Your Image
Before using the upscaler, you’ll need to generate an image using Midjourney. Once the image is created, you can proceed to upscale your selected design.
2. Choose an Image to Upscale
After the generation is complete, select the image you want to enhance. To do this, click on the respective U1, U2, U3, or U4 button.
U stands for “Upscale,” and the number corresponds to the position of the image.
For example, if you want to upscale the first image in the second row, select U3.
3. Select Upscaling Type: Creative or Subtle
Midjourney offers two types of upscaling:
Upscale (Subtle)
- Description: Doubles the image size while preserving its original details. The final result closely resembles the original.
- Cost: 1 minute of fast generation time.
Upscale (Creative)
- Description: Also doubles the size of the image but adds new creative details to enhance the overall design.
- Cost: 2 minutes of fast generation time.
4. Which Version Should You Choose?
The choice between Subtle and Creative depends on your needs and goals. Here’s a quick comparison:
| Parameter | Subtle | Creative |
|---|---|---|
| Generation Speed | Faster (1 minute) | Slower (2 minutes) |
| Quality | Original details | Enhanced details |
| Use Case | Precise replication | Artistic enhancement |
For example:
- Subtle is ideal when you need to maintain the original design for professional or technical purposes.
- Creative works best for adding flair to artistic projects, such as making a cottage look more intricate and delicate.
5. Final Thoughts
Your choice of upscaling method should align with the intended purpose of the final image. Experiment with both options to discover which works best for your style and projects.
