I like the new Upscale 4x and used it sparingly in my latest video just to make the bookends look crisp. I look at it as the finishing coat on a car once my image is perfect, then give it a nice big pixelation. Thanks for the info, Jen!!

You never fail to upscale your output! Excellent video!
You are by far my favorite channel on YouTube. All of your content is super helpful and I love your teaching style. Thank you for the amazing work you do!
this video is so well done! Very detailed and super well explained and edited. Congratulations!
I really liked your summary, you even showed one trick, that I didnt know (with show jobid command). I did also some test by my own few days ago, I've resized some my older pictures x4, and I was really suprised when I saw my Fast Time Remaining was lowered by 20% 🙁 . About quality of resizing, it's ok, but I think its all depending what you are upscaling. From my perspective, some of the leonardo ai features are much better than midjourney, still, I'm using both. What I really liked lately is Alchemy Refiner feature in leonardo. Are you planning to review that in the future, also new Alchemy V2 models, or you are trying to mostly be focused on Midjourney content?
I was watching along and enjoying the content then BANG! There was a short scene displaying the aspect ratios as pictures on the wall. I thought FANTASTIC! This explains ar so clearly! Can you expand on this in a furture video?
Thanks again for an enlightening video. You are the best.
Why I do not have these upscale2x buttons? Fast mode, v5.2
Newbie here and you are so informative!! Thank you-
Hey Jen, are you on Medium?
hi, i just subscribed to your channel! love your content! may I asked if do you know how to generate image prompt for t-shirt design ideas? and also for coloring pages?
What is the name of the website that you used to convert pixel dimension to print dimension ?. That would be a good website to buy picture frames from.
Thanks for the information!! I haven’t had a need to 2x or 4x yet, but maybe someday I will.
