Installing Coyote A(Ultimate Upscale) extension for Stable Diffusion
This is the tutorial for installing the extension, which is compatible with Automatic 1111 Stable Diffusion, which we showed how to install in the previous post;if you have missed it, Here is the link.
There are three ways to install the extension. First way in from UI. Second Method is from URL. Third way is by Manual Clone. We will be installing the extension by URL(second way). Copy the URL link given in second method, as per the screenshot.
Now open Stable Diffusion in a new tab on your browser. Go to “Extensions”. Then go to “Install from URL” and paste previously copied URL, and then click on the install.
after a few seconds it will show as installed.
Now click on the “Install” tab and click on the “Apply and restart UI.” When it reloads, then we are done with installing the extension.
Generating 10 exclusive images in MidJourney
Now in MidJourney, we generate 10 images. We have showcased each image next to it’s upscaled version, and it’s prompt at the end of this post.
Upscaling images in Stable Diffusion up to 4k or higher
In the directory in which we want to save photos, we created two folders. one contains “Normal” images, The other folder we name it “Upscaled”.
The original image size is 1024 * 1024 . We now copy the path of the normal folder.
Open the Stable Diffusion in a browser. Go to the “img2img” tab, and then go to the “Batch” tab and then paste the copied path in “input directory” .
Now go back to “upscaled” folder path, copy the path and paste it in the “output directory”.
Now Scroll down to “Script” and choose “Ultimate SD upscale”.
Now go to the target size and select “scale from image size”. We keep the scale at 2 for now.
Scroll back up and click on “Generate.” It starts creating 2x sizes of each image. If we check in the upscaled folder, each photo size is 2048*2048.
For the next step, in the same path, we create another new folder called “Upscaled 2”. Now go back to stable diffusion and put the input directory as “Upscaled” and output directory as “Upscaled 2”. Keep other settings like the first time. then start generating.
We prefer to upscale the images in two steps, because it helps to maintainn the details of the image, and the end result will be of excellent quality. If you compare original photos with 2X and 4X upscaled versions, you can see that upscaled versions have not lost the original details and quality. That’s why we don’t recommend upscaling in one step.
We have provided a Google link to all three folders here. Preview of the ten images and their prompts also are listed below.
