Tips and limits
- An upscale works on a finished image. Wait for a render to finish before you upscale it.
- The Edit image sheet lists every edit the image can take, not only upscales.
- To change what is in the picture, see Edit a photo.
If something goes wrong
- An upscale won’t run: the line beside Run says which setting it still needs.
- The line beside Run says Not enough credits: your balance is too low for this upscale. Top up, then press Run again.
Questions
Does an upscale change my original image?
No. Edit image makes a new copy, and the original stays as it is. Both are in your Library.
Why don't I see Edit image on a card?
The image must be finished. A card that is still rendering, or that failed, has no Edit image, and neither does an image no edit can take yet.
Which upscale should I pick?
Each row in Edit image says what that upscale does and shows its price. Pick the one whose line fits your image.
