How do you guys upscale your images? Is anything even close to Magnific?
It's been years since Magnific.ai came out, and I still haven't found a creative upscaler that comes close to it.

Key points
- From what I understand, Magnific splits the image into tiles, processes them individually, and stitches them back together.
- I'm talking about creative upscaling that adds convincing details, not just making an image bigger and sharper.
- edit: I added this video to the post to show what I mean by creative upscaler.
- I've been experimenting with upscaling in ComfyUI and this video shows what I've managed to achieve so far using a basic FLUX.1 tile-based upscale.
