What is it?

A feature that lets you instantly apply your preferred settings with a single click, saving time and ensuring consistency across your photo upscaling tasks, including:

  • Model option
  • Scale option (Currently works with local models only. Support for online models coming soon.)

These settings will apply to all photos waiting to be processed.

How to Use

There are two ways to apply the settings:

1. Configure your settings on the Options page

Auto-start option for face recovery

For example, if you’re a portrait photographer who regularly upscales portrait photos, we recommend: Set the Engine to Online, default model (Online) to Face Enhancement, and turn auto-start ON.

 

After setup, you’ll only need to input the portrait images. The app will handle all Face recovery and upscaling operations automatically.

This setup is also ideal when upscaling videos with Image Upscaler, processing each frame.

2. Click the “Apply to all” button to implement model settings or size settings instantly.

Apply model and size settings to all the unprocessed images

This option is better for complex daily tasks where you might not want auto-start because you have different photos that need different models.

The [Apply to all] button remains available to apply your current model settings to all remaining unprocessed images.

Best Practices

  • Review your original images and settings before applying to all
  • Regularly update your saved settings to match your current needs

Troubleshooting

  • What if settings don’t apply correctly?
    • Verify that all settings were properly saved
    • Be aware that the settings for online engine and local engine are separated
    • The model settings and size settings are separated
  • Why the Face enhance is not available to me?
    • The Face enhancement is currently based on Nero Cloud GPU only so it requires the PRO version.

 

How to Clean Up and Organize Your Desktop/Downloads

With the new CleanKeeper feature since TuneItUp Pro v3.6.0.6, you can easily clean up and organize your Desktop, Downloads, and any other folders you want to keep tidy and organized.

CleanKeeper provides a default rule to clean up your Desktop and Downloads folders:

  • Moves all photos to your personal “Pictures” folder
  • Moves all video files to your personal “Videos” folder
  • Moves all audio files to your personal “Music” folder
  • Moves all Office document files to your personal “Documents” folder

Moreover, you can create your own rules if you don’t like the default file handling method.

How to Clean Up Files and Move Them to Your Preferred Folder

For example, here’s how I automatically clean up my installers and apps by moving them to my D drive.

  1. Click the Plus button to add a new rule
  2. Name your rule (e.g., “Downloaded apps”)
  3. Specify file types you want to clean up (e.g., .exe, .msi, .dmg, .apk, .zip, .rar)
  4. Leave the filename filter empty if you don’t want to target specific file names
  5. Choose a target folder for your downloaded apps (e.g., D:\Download\programs)
  6. Click Save to continue.
  7. Click the Up button to increase the rule’s priority
  8. Click the Downloads button to clean up the Downloads folder
  9. The app will automatically move all matching files
  10. You’ll see all the specified file types in your chosen target folder

Finally, you can revert files from the History list if you decide you don’t want them cleaned up after all.

Why isn’t it working?

  • First, this feature is only available in the Pro version. If you’re still using the free version, click the lock button to upgrade.
  • Check the rule priority. Files are moved according to the rules in order. If you can’t find files in the expected folder, they might be in other folders with higher-priority rules.
  • Specify either the file extension or filename—not both.
  • If your Desktop or Downloads folder is too large, especially on a slower PC, the automation process might struggle. Try manually moving some files to reduce the folder size.
