How to set model and size settings to all unprocessed photos quickly with Image Upscaler

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.

Upscale images with cloud GPU acceleration⚡

We are pleased to announce that the latest version includes an online engine mode. Users can now upscale images faster than ever before, thanks to the acceleration provided by the cloud server GPU.

What is the online engine mode?

This mode refers to the integration of a web service engine within the AI Image Upscaler Windows Desktop App to handle the process of image upscaling.

Therefore, images will be uploaded to the server for processing. Rest assured that your precious pictures will not be stored after processing. Our server will promptly and securely delete your uploaded data, ensuring that there is no risk of your valuable information being exposed. We prioritize your data privacy and are fully committed to protecting it.

Why do we need the online engine mode?

The speed of AI image upscaling greatly depends on the performance and power consumption of the GPU.

Expensive GPU

In recent years, due to the influence of Bitcoin and AI-Generated Content (known as AIGC), the prices of graphics cards have skyrocketed. Not all users can afford to equip their desktop computers with high-performance graphics cards.

Even if your desktop computer at home has a good graphics card, you may still have to endure long waits caused by the lack of a dedicated graphics card while traveling on business trips.

No more errors, hardware issues, quality compromises, or long loading times! That’s why the online engine mode is introduced.

Can I use the online engine mode for free?

First of all, the online mode is not a free service. It requires consuming credits from your account to enable its usage. Generally, it takes 1 credit to upscale one image.

Secondly, you need to have Pro version privileges. You can upgrade your entitlement through In-App purchases or online purchases.

If you have subscribed to our Platinum Suite 1-Year License (known as the Nero Platinum Suite 365), congratulations, you can log in to your Nero Account to obtain your entitlement.
