This section walks you through "Enhance", Scenario's creative upscaler. Enhance leverages AI models to improve both the resolution and quality of your generated visuals, offering precise control over details to ensure consistency.
You can upscale images up to 16x their original size while preserving or even improving visual quality, depending on your chosen parameters.
Use Enhance to create higher resolution images or to refine an image so it better matches a specific style, all without losing artistic integrity. You can access Enhance in several ways:
Select an image generated on Scenario and click "Enhance" via the top menu
Click the three-dot menu on any image thumbnail and select "Enhance"
Or access it via the main menu (left) via "Enhance" under the "Images" section (or directly via https://app.scenario.com/enhance)
Navigate to the "Enhance" section in Scenario's interface. In the "Input Image" area:
Click "Select from library" to pick an image from your gallery, or
Drag & drop, paste, or upload a new image
If you are using an image generated in Scenario, the prompt used to generate this image will automatically load in the prompt box. You can keep it as is, or tweak the prompt to better suit your goals.
For fast results, Scenario provides three Presets with various levels of creativity. If you don't know which exact parameters to use, we recommend using them as a first approach before tweaking the parameters further (as explained below).
In the "Preset" section, you can select from three options that balance fidelity and creativity:
(i) Precise: Maintains the integrity of the original image while improving resolution. The result stays very close to the original. This preset uses minimal creativity and works best when consistency is crucial and you don't want to add new creative elements.
(ii) Balanced: Creates harmony between preserving the original image and adding creative enhancements. The image keeps most of its original content while gaining refined details. Perfect when you want moderate artistic improvements while keeping the image recognizable.
(iii) Creative: Adds substantial details to transform simple images into more intricate outputs. This preset serves as a creative tool that creates strong visual impact and unique styling. While the core subject remains intact, the final image may show significant stylistic changes.
This optional parameter lets you direct your upscale toward a specific style. This is especially useful if your input image matches one of the listed styles. You can select it from the dropdown menu to guide the enhancement: Cartoon (cartoon style), Anime (manga look), Comic (comic book style), Minimalist (clean look), Photorealistic (realistic), 3D Render (dimensional)
Most upscales in Scenario Enhance work well with the Standard setting, which offers maximum style flexibility. If your desired style isn't listed or if the options don't match your goals, you can add stylistic descriptions in the prompt box and increase the prompt influence (explained below). For even more precise control, using style reference images is highly effective (also detailed below).
Select 2x, 4x, 8x, or 16x to determine how much you want to upscale your image. Higher values provide more detail but require more processing time and will be exponentially more creative. When testing new settings, it’s recommended to start with 2x first in order to evaluate the output before using higher value. The higher the upscale factor, the more creative the output might end up being. Output cannot exceed 268M pixels.
This feature allows you to upload style reference images to guide the upscaling process as new pixels are generated. Select 5-10 images that show some variety while maintaining a consistent style (similar to curating a training dataset). These images will influence your result based on how high you set the influence slider.
To add reference images, click the "+" icon. You can choose images from your library, from a collection you've created, or upload them from your computer.
Use the influence slider to control how strongly these reference images affect the output. Note that if your "creativity" parameter (explained below) is set high, these style images will have an even stronger impact.
Prompts offer another optional way to guide your enhancement process. You have several options that can be combined for greater control:
You can add "style tokens" (descriptions like "minimalist 3D cartoon" or other style descriptions).
You can specify details you want enhanced or added, such as "wrinkles, small facial hair" for a character's face.
The negative prompt field lets you list elements you want to avoid, helping the AI steer clear of unwanted styles or details.
The "Prompt Influence" slider (in the Advanced Settings) controls how strongly these prompts affect your upscaled result.
For even more control over the upscale process, feel free to evaluate and adjust these parameters:
Prompt Fidelity: Determines the impact of the prompts. If you are adding specific details, and you want these details to show up in the generated image, make sure to keep that parameter high.
Image Fidelity: Controls how closely the output matches the original image's colors and details. Higher values (80-100) keep the output more faithful to the original, while lower values (50-70) allow more creative interpretation.
Creativity: Sets the AI's freedom to introduce new elements. Higher values produce more artistic variations from the original.
Fractality: Introduces repeating patterns and textures throughout the image. Higher values create more complex, intricate details throughout the image.
Detail Intensity: Controls the level of fine details added. Higher values produce sharper, more defined features.
Seed: Locks in randomization for reproducible results. Use the same seed to get closer results when repeating an enhancement by testing different settings.
Click the blue "Enhance" button to process your image. The result will be a higher-resolution version with improvements based on your selected parameters. As you open the image, zoom in and use the slider (shortcut: "c") to compare the before and after.
If you process several upscales successively, you can also compare them by clicking left/right.
Scaling factor x4 / Style - Standard / Preset - Balanced
Scaling factor x4 / Style - Comic / Preset - Balanced
Scaling factor x4 / Style - Standard / Preset - Creative
Proceed incrementally: for best results, we recommend starting with two test upscales - one using the "Precise" preset and another with "Balanced." Compare the results, then adjust parameters incrementally based on which direction you prefer. Once you find settings that work well for your project, save them for future use.
Enhancing images in Scenario is a powerful way to upscale them with the most control possible. Use presets for quick results, or explore advanced settings as you become more comfortable with the tool. Whether you're maintaining strict consistency or pursuing creative expression, Scenario Enhance provides the flexibility and control needed to perfect your generated content.
