Instructions for the correct algorithm of using AI Upscaler & Enhancer on Aladamus

In order to achieve the highest possible level of graphics, impressive micro-architecture of details, and quality of refined and enhanced images with Aladamus, it is necessary to understand the method and the correct sequence of using the tools located in the section: AI Upscaler & Enhancer.

Stage 1

Processing the entire image area.

First of all, when working on improving image quality, you should start with the tools located in the section: “Tools that work with the entire image area”. To immediately enhance the whole image, the best tool (at the moment) that works with the entire image area is Aladamus AI Upscaler [Standard quality] v1.0 (we recommend starting with it), it delivers premium image quality comparable to glossy fashion and architectural magazine covers and allows you to:

Improve the level of detail in the image.
Increase the visual appeal and overall impact of the image.
Increase image resolution (≈ 4096–5300px) on the longer side.
Restore low-quality or damaged areas of the image, transforming the original into an enhanced version.

If your budget is limited, you can use the same tool in a lighter and more affordable version Aladamus AI Upscaler [Power of Creative All Light Creativity] v1.0.

The strategy of initially using Aladamus AI Upscaler [Standard quality] v1.0 is based on the fact that it is so powerful that there is a high probability that further use of local tools for refining specific areas of the image will not be necessary. Therefore, it is better to start with it and then, if needed, proceed with refinement using tools located in the section “Tools that work with a local area of the image”

Stage 2

Enhancement and refinement of results after the first stage.

Images that have passed Stage 1 are the best foundation for applying tools that work on local refinement of specific areas of the image. These tools are located in the section “Tools that work with a local area of the image”.

Follow the link and explore how each of the local tools can further improve your image after Stage 1:

Tools that work with a local area of the image can also be applied to images that have not necessarily gone through Stage 1 processing using:

You can immediately use tools that work with local areas of the image on any of your images. However, for maximum effectiveness, it is important to ensure optimal conditions — primarily, sufficient resolution.

Let’s consider a less optimal scenario: suppose you decide to skip the first stage, without applying Aladamus AI Upscaler [Standard quality] v1.0 or Aladamus AI Upscaler [Power of Creative All Light Creativity] v1.0. At the same time, the image you uploaded has a resolution of only 750×750 px (low resolution). In such a situation, no matter how advanced and high-quality the local refinement tools are, the original resolution is too low to accommodate the generated local area. As a result, the generated image will be compressed to match the resolution of the uploaded image, leading to a loss of quality. Therefore, the conclusion is: the higher the resolution, the better, but going beyond 4096px on the longer side does not make sense.

It is important to understand that tools from the section “Tools that work with a local area of the image” do not increase resolution — they only process selected areas. This is one of the reasons why we recommend starting image enhancement with Stage 1.

If you still want to skip the first stage and at the same time get maximum effect from local tools, make sure that the original image you upload is initially in an acceptable resolution.

An illustrative example of an image enhancement workflow

Let’s go through a visual example of the correct use of tools from the section “AI Upscaler & Enhancer”.

We have an image generated using Nano Banana Pro 2K. Our task is to enhance its visual and aesthetic appeal, raise the graphics level to premium quality comparable to glossy fashion and architectural magazine covers, increase the wow effect that shapes the viewer’s first impression, and also increase the image resolution. In the first stage, we will use the tool Aladamus AI Upscaler [Standard quality] v1.0

Before: Original image Resolution: 2000x2000px

After: Aladamus AI Upscaler [Standard quality] v1.0 Resolution: 4096x4096px

As we can see, the micro-architecture of the image details has become more refined, voluminous, and clear. Sharpness and clarity of materials and objects in the image have been improved. For most users, this result will be sufficient, but we will not stop here and will continue enhancing the graphics using the tool Aladamus Enhancer CGB Mir [Creative Medium + Saving geometry] v1.0.

Take the processed image after Aladamus AI Upscaler [Standard quality] v1.0 and apply the local enhancement tool: Aladamus Enhancer CGB Mir [Creative Medium + Saving geometry] v1.0.
Select the area with plants that we want to improve:

Done! As we can see, the visual impact and photorealism are impressive. You can experiment and apply other local tools instead of the one used in this example Aladamus Enhancer CGB Mir [Creative Medium + Saving geometry] v1.0
