Workflow Integration

​
Image Generation + Upscale

[Prompt Node] → [Model Node (Flux 2 Pro @ 2K)] → [Upscale Node (Recraft)] → [Export]
Generate images at 2K and upscale to 4K.

​
Batch Upscaling

[List Node (10 images)] → [Upscale Node (Recraft)] → [Bulk Export]
Upscale multiple images in parallel.

​
Multi-Resolution Output

[Image Upload] → [Upscale (Recraft @ 4x)] → [Export @ 4K]
               → [No Upscale] → [Export @ 1K]
               → [Upscale (Topaz @ 4x)] → [Export @ 4K Premium]
Generate multiple resolution outputs from one source. See Node System for workflow details.

Tips

Cost Optimization: Use Recraft Crisp (1 credit) for most needs. Reserve Topaz Pro (3 credits) for high-value work.
Generation + Upscale: Generate images at 1K or 2K to save credits, then upscale to 4K (total cost often less than generating at 4K).
Batch Processing: Use Recraft Crisp for batch upscaling (1 credit each vs 3 credits for Topaz).
Print Quality: Use Topaz Pro for any print materials to ensure maximum detail preservation.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Try Topaz Pro instead of Recraft Crisp
  • Check source image quality (upscaling can’t fix blurry originals)
  • Avoid upscaling heavily compressed images
  • Start with highest quality source possible
  • Large file size is expected (4x resolution)
  • Compress after upscaling if needed
  • Use JPG for photos (smaller than PNG)
  • Consider if 4x upscale is necessary (2x may suffice)
  • Check file size (max 4MP for Recraft, 16MP for Topaz)
  • Resize image if too large
  • Ensure format is supported (JPG, PNG, WebP)
  • Check internet connection
  • Source image may have noise or compression artifacts
  • Try noise reduction before upscaling
  • Use Topaz Pro for better artifact handling
  • Check if source image is too compressed

​
Best Practices

  • Recraft Crisp for most use cases (1 credit, fast)
  • Topaz Pro when quality matters most (3 credits, premium)
  • Recraft for batch processing (cost-effective)
  • Topaz for print or professional work
  • Start with highest quality source possible
  • Avoid upscaling already-compressed images
  • Sharp, well-lit images upscale better
  • Remove noise before upscaling if possible
  • Recraft: Max 4MP input (e.g., 2048×2048)
  • Topaz: Max 16MP input (e.g., 4096×4096)
  • Resize large images before uploading
  • Use PNG for graphics, logos, screenshots
  • Use JPG for photos, art
  • Avoid heavily compressed files
