Quick note: I'm not sponsored or paid by Magnific AI. I shared about it purely due to my interest in its tech! I agree, it's pricey, and I hope to see more accessible options in the future. Thanks for watching! What are your thoughts?
So I wanted to try it, but there seems to be no try or trial. No sense in paying money without trying it 1st
I'm really hoping Topaz releases something equivalent that I can run on my Mac.
Hello,Sorry, i have problem with editing flyers in photoshop,when i export the fonts are not shining and they get burn,please can you help me what to do?

haha but you also kinda look like an AI! Skin so flawless!
what is really crazy is the pricing.
It won't stay this expensive. They are just first to market so are charging a premium atm but as the market floods with more tools that can do this the prices will crater just like they did with AI image generators.
Some offline version, in Automatic1111 will come out soon ... (some patience)
@@ryancooper3629 That is so true
@@anianait This is already possible using ControlNet, which is probably what they're using but with a custom model
Agreed.I had already looked into it and it is just way too much for those of us that aren’t using it constantly
That is RIDICULOUSLY good! Shame it's so expensive, almost unreasonably expensive, unless you're just a professional user.
Thank you for this. With a few PS touch-ups after the upscaling, I think the end products can be fantastic. 💯
Unless you are a *very suxcesful* professional user 🥲
I like how the website that doesn't let you do anything except login and upgrade, I mean if you can't try it first how will you have the courage to upgrade it?
That's why I don't even bother with messing around with the AI art stuff. Everyone wants too much money and they don't even let you try it out first. No thanks!
@@TheMeanArena Actually most of the AI art stuf is either free or extremely affordable (barring Midjourney). This is an upscaler.
You guys have to appreciate what’s happened - this is the beginning of the AI age and it’s as if we’ve gone back to the 70s in terms of computing.
In the 70s it needed a super computer the size of a room to do a math calculation, now it can be done extremely easily and cheaply on a small phone.
These AI tools are expensive because they once again require super computers to do the computing. It’s exactly the same scenario as in the 70s and it’s only because we’re used to cheap regular computing that it seems expensive, but the reason that it’s expensive is because it is actually expensive to run ai models.
The cost will inevitably fall once the technology evolves for example to allow the processing to happen on your device.
The tech is great, but the price is absolutely ridiculous
yeah i wanted to try it out but I can't justify it lol
idk, considering the quality its OK. you could sell your shitty photos as pro-level commercial use one's after using this simple tool without needing expensive gear and skill.
I think, a "not same person" problem can be fixed with using a high-frequency layer of an upscaled image on top of the original. Add a texture and details where you like with a mask and original face will remain the same. Done!
For fixing eye colours, or anything actually, you can add strength to promt area in magnific. like :"brown eyes:1.2"
Shame Magnific doesn't offer free trials. Would love to test out at least a couple of images before forking out the moolah.
Tip... If you are using AI generated images, use the same prompt you used to create the image and you will see a substantial improvement in the upscale. I've been using it now for a while and I definitely notice the difference
Yeah. But be careful after a certain size. After around 4K x 4K you will need to use tiling (or it’ll do it automatically) and it tends to break down if using original prompt.
Keep denoise low
@alecubudulecu I haven't run into that issue. You do have to down sample your largest w x h measurement to 2200, if you render large images from SD, or some other platform
I use comfyui. yeah if you ok with keeping it that small. I use it for print work. need it to hit 12k x 12k. I use topaz labs for some of the upscaling. in Auto4 there's StableSR.@@MrDJTek
Unmesh you are my hero, you always change my workflow with the awesome tools and suggestions, definitely my total respect for your work 🔥
I tried the Magnific trial a few days ago but the trial credits are just not enough to get a handle on it, so I'm glad to see your work.
I have two thoughts; the first being we shouldn't be too surprised about the increased detail. It was bound to get better. It was just a matter of time. A bit like the increased megapixels in a digital camera/phone.
The other thought is we're going to need some new language to talk about the way these kinds of AI create content in the upscaling so we stop thinking about it like photography. Already upscaling is different from "enlarging" so it is developing to an extent.
It's clear that they are effectively just detailing.
you are an amazing teacher, I have learnt a lot from you.
I am given the titile of Photoshop Guru by my friends and collegues, its because of your advanced photoshop skills.
HUGE FAN YOURS UNMESH LOVE YOU
In the first example A/B photo I could tell the photo on the right was AI due to some abnormal imperfections. Like the pupils not being uniformly round, the sclera being distorted and the hair looking like it was painted on, the ear being very bright despite the hair above having barely any exposure detail and something about the teeth also looks uncanny
very nice. I really am impressed by the AI generated host, all the nuances, winking into the camera, and showing genuine enthusiasm in his motions and voice. However, there were a few glaring errors in the details that he missed that humans could never miss. I bet we will see improvement in that area in just a few months if not weeks!
BTW. Magnific DID offer a trial period (I think it was 24 or 48 hrs with limited credits). They spoke about it being expensive but said it was expensive for themselves to run the system so that's why they don't offer free trials normally.
Thank you for all the useful information!☺
Hi Sir, any possible way to convert jpeg to AI vector (not image tracing in illustrator- we don't get curves properly) may be in PS or AI or any other software
Thank you for the shout out my friend! Pretty wild times we're living in as creatives!
2:33 "All we had to do was follow the dang tutorial, CJ"
Classic😂
thnks u so much, it was a good information, this new AIs are going really fast.... regards from colombia!
The most insane thing is the ridiculous price
the hairs on the first Ai image were perfectly aligned parallel. That was the giveaway for me
I use hitpaw to restore old photo's, I edit in an old version of CS then run it through, it's too much hard lines so I take the original photo and match the resolution to the processed photo insert the processed photo over the original and reduce transparency till it looks like a real person, doesn't work great on the hair if the hair is degraded to a single color though... Most pictures I have to use blur and smudge too on hard lines. I can get good 8x10's from rough photos over 100 yrs old, some come out pristine though where they could be blown up as a poster and still have good detail. Many hours in CS...
When this or another can get exact I will of coarse use it. For sure.
That looks really good and so many ideas come to mind but the cost just isn't something I can justify right now unfortunately.
It's not upscaling, and its ridiculously expensive, Krea is free and basically do the same thing. Topaz Gigapixel is a really an upscale software and still the best.
thanks for the tip, hope it will stay free for a while
@@anianait 👍
@@creedolala6918 I had Topaz and agree that it does don't compare to the results in this product.
Not quite...and Krea, while it will enhance an image nicely, it will not maintain the look of faces/etc accurately... so if you want to use it for a specific face or character, it doesn't really work. Magnific does better at this, but the price, and lack of trail, just doesn't make business sense at all.
I think it just adds Texture in the picture what make it more detailed. This texture option is available in Camera Raw as well
Hello,Sorry, i have problem with editing flyers in photoshop,when i export the fonts are not shining and they get burn,please can you help me what to do?
Best phrase of this video was 'looks like 50 center' lol XD
this is amazing and one day thinking this will be "free" to all of us as now is new but one day will be free that will be sooooooo crazy and surely any instagram photo will be using this
@11:17 The Ai matched and mixed you with Tony Stark of the Avengers
Nobody seems to be talking about the ramifications of this technology, no matter how impressive. You asked if that landscape is still photography. Well no, it's not. It's a re-imagined version of the photo it's based on. But it's not the real thing anymore and anyone who knew this landscape would be able to point it out, just like you said that version of you wasn't you. Whenever we run images through these upscalers, we are changing reality, we are letting AI change information, and we are introducing flaws. Jut look at the example images on Magnific's own page and see how it changes plants, changes cat breeds on an illustration, adds wrong perspective lines, etc. We are running head-first into aesthetics while falsifying reality
Obviously it's not photography, the good word is probably "photorealistic" like a 3D render. That it's said, note that photography already falsifies reality in a way.
@@Phosmachina Exactly! People talking about how it affects real photography when that in itself has so many filters and changes from the original that takes it far away from it.
Great video, thanks. Have you seen Topaz Gigapixel AI and Topaz Photo AI? those do pretty much the same.
This would have been handy 20+ years ago, when cameras were lacking in megapixels. In a post, I pointed out that the software can't invent detail, but you the artist can. I used _Genuine Fractals_ to upscale, and it was great with existing edges of things like fingernails -- edges maintained their sharpness at the new resolution rather than getting blurry. But then I went through and manually fixed things (the lips in the article, IIRC). I ended up with a usable 8x10 print from an image that, after cropping, was less than one megapixel.
Yes This is a great Ai tool but i will never use it for the limitation that it has with the high monthly payment and limited credits.
Thanks, excellent video.
I’m gonna try this even with the high price. I wanna see how it compares to my own AI upscaling and Img2img workflows. I’m a pretty advanced comfyui user.
What do you think of it so far?
@@lun321 tried it a bit last night. As expected. They using pretty advanced comfyui workflow. I will say it’s all out of the box stuff …. But the result is really REALLY clean and does what they advertising. There’s efforts to reproduce and I have some ideas how it’s being done. It’s not magical. But yeah. It’s a really good result.
You could do the same upscaling with Stable Diffusion's various upscalers, models and ControlNet. Tweak the parameters, combine upscalers, etc. for free.
Somehow these ultra detailed AI upscales look uncanny. I am not sure that adding details everywhere to this degree really adds quality. It is amazing technology, but does it create a better image? The one that are closer to a normal photo do look quite impressive. I would like to know how it would handle other kinds of photos, not just portraits. The landscape was very well done, but also significantly different.
give it a year... we've already come a long way since 2022
That's finally an AI upscaler who deserve the name.
literally
Actually it's a Stable Diffusion powered enhancer / detailer. Not just an upscaler.
@@carstenli Stable Diffusion is godlike
@@endre4342 Literally not, none of these apps use AI at all, it's just normal software. People just buy into "AI" whenever it's related to images for some reason.
It is NOT actually an upscaler.
It just plasters detail from its models.
Those eyes are not upscaled, they are replaced for similar eyes.
Same goes for skin and everything else.
What we are basically seeing is what will be free down the road but crazy pricing for small usage allowances right now! Kinda like the old days when surfing the internet for 1 minute cost you 0.25 cents and or maximum allowance is 200 minutes per month and we used to think what a bargain eh? LOL.
The details in the hair are where all these upscalers really shine.
I'm glad you used a pic of your own face. I did some testing recently and found almost all types of AI software change the face. The technology is not quite there yet with one exception. Topaz Photo AI I found to be amazing. For others watching, the change in your face using your example may not be noticeable but I highly recommend anyone thinking of subscribing to use a photo of themselves. Very subtle changes make the photo unacceptable and just strange to look at. With regards to landscapes, the software in the example shown changes way too much. Its a good tool for art but not photography.
Thank you!
5:48 - His sideburns tho LOL
Could you make a video on how to upscale a video using the the ESRGAN model RealESRGAN-x4Plus-anime.6B? Using a working google collab notebook
11:14 Omg it's like it fussioned you with the guy from Phlearn, i dont even know if that channel still exist xD
Wow...., this is insane.
So expensive... I'm sure that we'll have a Stable Diffusion free alternative soon.
We have more or less. ControlNet: IPAdapter, OpenPose, DepthMaps. The service doesn't use anything else. The real trick is the special checkpoints that are used. So nothing that we can't have locally or in the cloud (and therefore still cheaper than the cheapest subscription to the service), with much more control.
This IS standard Stable Diffusion. It's literally just image to image.
@@kullenberg yes but no, IMG2IMG doesn't maintain face structures like this, this is more like a specific advanced "controlNET" for faces.
Not quite as bad Samsung's 'AI upscaling' of the Moon! By simply replacing what it detects as a picture of the Moon with a high res picture of the Moon :D
Umesh which pen tab is good for photo editing, please suggest me
This AI thing is becoming more and more frightening. This is insanely good.
At 0:47, the ear on the left is so weird, it can't be real.
8:55 - I NEED TO THAT FACE SOUP PICTURE!!!!!! 🙏😭
Wow!! That's the most incredible Upscale AI tool I have ever seen. The results are super realist. I wish they had a trial though even if is for 2 images.
Please make a video to create ai realistic couple photos for weddings from reference wedding photos or to make ai generated realistic caricatures from reference photos
Your upscaled photo shows what it would look like if you and Javier Bardem had a love child 😂
Wow? Wow! I have no words amazing ...
Do you have an idea on how many images you can load for the first plan (39usd per month) , roughly ?
Amazing indeed!
it's a nice interface slapped on something you can do in comfyui for free
Looks like kinda what James Cameron used for his legacy 4K remasters. A lot of detail added that wasn’t on film and noise removed. Not really archiving the original but the restoration possibilities are really strong. Too bad the companies don’t see a big market for that unless it’s really popular movie.
I really wonder, how would it work on old vintage pictures that are scant, i mean how would it affect old blurry and grainy pictures from the early 1920 1930 ish
I have a pretty beefy computer (M3 max) with a neural engine. I'd love to buy a license to the software that runs this model and use it locally. Unfortunately that's no longer the case.
I've learn a lot cuz of you bro
It didn't look like you I agree ! You looked a bit more white if it makes sense ? Something was off but it's trippy to try :))
When you showed the example of yourself I thought if you would walk on the street I wouldn't know that's it's you. I can't say what it is, but the image feels very different.
It's amazing, and it's crap. Thanks for the video, Unmesh!
I am personally not a big fan of AI, at least not at this stage. While it does an incredible job, it makes things look too perfect and not as natural. It reminds me of the early 3D-generated images from the 90s albeit much better in terms of rendering. But I have no doubt a few years from now, it will be perfect.
Oh my! I guest wrong. I thought the right picture is real photo but turn out it was A.i....
Make this tutorial using Stable Diffusion if possible please.
No thanks.....

Hey Unmash, your videos are always superb :-) Would you have some tips of retouche plugins for ecommerce/product photography ?
Sir, Pls make a one video on layer style
Ridiculously expensive. It needs to give much more to charge so much.
wait a few months and the price will drop drastically due to more apps coming out that does the same thing,
It's just standard Stable Diffusion image to image. You can do the same thing with other services. It's 100% hype and marketing. They are NOT offering anything special. Controlnet tile is the better method.
@@kullenberg What is Controlnet that I keep hearing and is it something in Stable Diffusion?
Yes, it's an add-on for Stable Diffusion. You can run it both locally on your computer or through certain online services, keep in mind the online options might have NSFW restrictions. On the other hand, it requiers a a decent GPU for upscaling so it might be the better option depending on your hardware. Just search for controlnet and stable diffusion here on youtube and you'll see what it can do@@sun-eye
obviously it is so so so expensive, so so so insane
Not surprising from the AI model side. Aside from the high resolution I do such things on my PC as well. I mean there is a stable diffusion plugin for Photoshop and doing img2img with any AI model of choice was never that easy.
The limitation though is the resolution. it all depends what GPU you have.
Thank you
The pricing is insanely steep for something that may or may not work the way you want it. Magnific should at least provide a trial of 1 or 2 images for users to try before pouring in so much money.
¡¡¡CARÍSIMO!!! ¡¡¡ESTAN LOOOOCOOOOS!!!
any same technique using PS Beta?
nice🔥🔥
Love u Teacher ❤
Amazing results.! I like it. The price is a real problem though. I would like to buy credits, no subscription. I have just a handful of images I want to upscale.
Incredible. But it's not upscaling, it's more like upend.
The connection between unblurring and upscaling lies in the fundamental concept of image information loss. When an image is blurred, whether intentionally for artistic effects or unintentionally due to factors like motion or focus issues, the details and sharpness are compromised. This loss of information manifests as a reduction in image resolution.
Unblurring aims to recover the lost details and sharpness by reversing the effects of blurring. Similarly, upscaling involves increasing the resolution of an image, effectively enlarging it. In both cases, the challenge is to recreate or enhance the missing details that were lost during the blurring or downscaling process.
How does this compare to Topaz Photo?
this is not upscaler, this is an stylizer…
It’s both. Upscaling and adding detail. If you start with a typical 1024x1024 it will double that. Then double again if you use the new image. 4096 max
@@chrisschmauch but not the original detailed object/subject…
Can anyone tell me the remix name of the GTA SA music at 11:34, I have been searching it for since the GTA stylize your photo video.
Search for GTA: San Andreas - lofi hip hop chill mix, not 100% sure its that though
sir u r amazing i swear
Adobe will figure out how to replicate this upscaling & add to photoshop in no time. Give them 6 months - 1yr ❤
I would say 3 to 4 months
@11:07 I thought for sure your hair was going to be taller
There is a comfyui workflow for this
Magnific seems to be making the rounds on the popular TH-cam channels to drum up business.
It's pretty good - but they still have "AI face"
'pretty good' lmao.
@@thesmuuuuggh Yes. I'm a subscriber so I've used it about 50 times already. It is, in fact, "pretty good." If you don't have a zoomed in area of the face, for instance, the identity is hard to keep consistent.
@@jesse8068 I've been using it this month to great effect, mostly selling prints to companies that have potato quality images that are otherwise 'lost'. I use AI extensively in my process - there isn't anything in generative AI doing this to this degree currently, at least as easily as magnific manages to make it anyways. It's cool to pass this off as 'pretty good' but to me this is a revolution. To think where this technology will be in another years time...
Bro I am very much interested in photoshop can you suggest any part-time job related to photoshop
"Looks like 50cent" LMFAO Looks like IceJJFish to me!!
I would recommend you to try Krea AI. It is somewhat free compare to Magnific AI and give you almost the same result.
boom!!! thanks!
Its just a nice toy but not an upscaler. Gigapixel Topaz AI is still the best real Upscaler on the market. Unbeaten for so long.
Gigapixel doesn't add skin detail though. At least not to areas other than the face.
With how fast AI is progressing you’ll be able to do this in seconds for free within a year’s time.
And the planet will burn and fresh water will run out. Exciting times!
Wait for it to decrease to compensate, the value is too high for users, as soon as competition starts they lower the value.
Some of the notable results are there, but they come with expenses that exceed what can be easily managed through credit-based choices, especially in the context of photography. If I had disposable income, I might consider a monthly subscription, but paying $40 USD for these generations is never something I would consider on my budget. It would be beneficial if they provided a trial, even if it includes watermarks or other limitations but thankfully, we have your fantastic videos. Thanks!
Software instantly detects an AI generated image, it will even identify the platform used so don’t spend too long thinking your portfolio will pass for real 👍
