Pixelmator Pro[1] does a pretty good job with its "ML Super Resolution". Apparently Adobe have a similar "Super Resolution"[2]. One of the VQGAN-CLIP notebooks uses ISR[3] (but I haven't managed to get that working locally yet because of weird tensorflow version requirements.)

This would be good to know. Last week I had a job photographing whales with a drone. Usual legal distance is 300m but I had a permit to photograph from 80m. Meanwhile, I suspect the clients would want results that looked even closer. Being able to upscale the waves and whale details might actually work pretty well in software - it just has to look like a whale up close and not necessarily the exact whale photographed.

Just for upscaling (without cleaning up or enhancing noisy or blurred pictures), I use icons8.com/upscaler.

For enhancing images Remini works very well for human face enhancing - sharpening and filling missing details of noisy blurred images.

Thanks - I'll give that first URL a shot.

Gigapixel AI is pretty cool.
