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.
