Inpainted Artworks and Upscaling

Posted under General

Hi, the rules of "upscaled" leads me to think custom in-painting, works that might take hours to produce with AI diffusion models in combination with photo editing, are they allowed? Of so, sometimes the final results are up-scaled too, then edited further, are they still allowed? Do they require "upscaled" tag if they're edited before and after for the final result?

I'm confused

What we want to avoid is people running their pics through upscaling algorithms like waifu2x because it restricts us into producing higher quality upscalings in the future, besides that users could unwantingly remove metadata while upscaling.
If the upscaling is done in the "stable-diffusion-webui" then it should be fine if you upload while uploading the original too, more info will be posted about it in the future and linked in the upload rules.

You focused on the question of upscaling, what about inpainting/photoshop assisted?

To my understanding as long as the edits are minimal, are necessary, and improve the image it's fair game. Highly edited/photoshopped images aren't desired.

Ok, so this booru doesn't want actual art as assisted by AI, good to know, will delete my account, cheers.

i did an inpainting here
post #2209

figured i might as well tag the parent and the original, i don't know if this is a good or desirable approach

is the reason we're supposed to upload tags for reproducibility? if it is, then having parent posts for inpainted results will certainly be a thing people will want

This inpainting and outpainting are fine. Make sure to tag inpainted on yours, I just did.
Its better if you upload the original like you said.

I think a good rule of thumb is whether you or the AI did most of the work. If you fix mistakes in small parts of it, it should be fine, but if you are redrawing over 50% of it then you can't really call it an AI artwork at that point. Pass that off as your own mentioning that it is "AI-Assisted".

Ah, are we supposed to mark our posts as inpainted and img2img if we used anything other than txt2img? Because pretty much all of my posts make some use of those lol. Some waaaay more than others. Also if so, might be good to make mention of that in the uploading rules at the top of the page right before uploading.

Might help if they had actual entries in the wiki so they show up in a wiki search.

Calling waifu2x an algorithm is doing it disservice. I thought the entire point of generating low resolution images was that you could throw the image into any of the AI upscaling models from https://upscale.wiki/wiki/Model_Database to improve the quality of the image.

I agree but isn't there like 2 ways of upscaling in the webui?
One is still using the stable difussion model that was was used to generate it and other is just a complete post processing such as ESRGAN.
The first one should be fine to generate, see post #3641.
The latter is better to be avoided, specially if its just waifu2x, see post #2075.

Can we at least agree that upscales are fine if done by first party? Like all other quality rules would still apply, so if you use shitty algorithms to upscale, your post would be denied because of quality not necessarily because it's an upscale.

And if we can agree then upload rules should be updated again to reflect it.

I'm pretty new to this - I upscale my pics generally with swinir_4x and delete every other output folder after a day. So all I have left is a under 1mb jpeg and an 30-55mb png. If I would upload the file before I would need to think about saving the img2img folder for when I inpainted. That would increase the time spend transferring files around instead of just deleting them and I kinda don't want to.

should I upload the png file? idc - though I just saw my posts seem to be encountering disinterest by the approval team. Ah well.
edit: nevermind, the work payed off - thanks
