DT 5.3 with all the hard work done by AgX module’s eyedroppers and some local contrast module afterwards.

A more colorful version that ignores what would have been reality.

Dehazed, sharpened textures, and then and a bit of toy blur (didn’t want too much of this effect; just needed to back off on the background sharpening). :slight_smile:

First is straight from darktable. Second was upscaled using SeedVR in ComfyUI. Workflows are attached in .txt files since the forum does not allow to upload json files.

SeedVR is really good in my opinion. With more VRAM it would’ve been even better, as I was limited to small quantized models(7B q4_k_m) but alas, I am limited to 10GB VRAM for now.

Edit: Sorry, the tighter crop was upscaled using a tiled diffusion approach. I was experimenting with it and forgot that was the best output I got for such a tight crop.

Regarding what? Sharpness?
Well that’s100% view. For everything else you need to upscale.
