Even Denuvo cracked games can’t be compared because AFAIK the latest cracks don’t remove Denuvo, they just emulate it.
After refining to 2048px with img2img I usually send it to extras and upscale to 4096px with 4x-UltraSharp but for the most natural looking result I will just scale the 2048px image up in photoshop and then overlay the UltraSharp output somewhere between 40-70% opacity. But then it also depends on the style of the image, for some images that I really want to look their best I’ll do both UltraSharp and R-ESRGAN-x4+_anime_6B and then mask out the areas I find to look best between the two in order to get the fewest artifacts. Maximum sharpness isn’t always the best, some mild blur and even film grain/noise can do a lot to make an image look really natural and beautiful.
I was late to the party on Captain Marvel and was expecting to hate it but came away decently satisfied with it and I think it’s in large part due to the cinematography. It wasn’t anything mind blowing but I was surprised to see a more indie-like aesthetically pleasing feel to a lot of the shots in it.
Fingers can be tricky for ai generation to get right but getting it to hold a weapon correctly is pretty much impossible. Maybe there’s a lora for it.
