Education | How To Upscale While Using Photoshop Plugin

Could we get that back please?

We had it in PhotoAI and it was very useful to run HifiV2 in PhotoAI after starting it from photoshops filter menu.

From PS you can always access upscaling models, just use File Automate and not FIlter. The OP here is he has Affinity which only uses the Filter PS plugin, so he does not have Access to Automate.

Yes i know, but i would like to sharpen with a upscaling model at 1x, like with photoAI.

You still can, from PS just need to use File, Automate..

Photo AI had it from Filter at 1x onlycaused a lot of user confusion as they couldn’t find 2x etc. We added a warning mentioning to use File > Automate and this will be the behavior of the new app. All you need is to use File Automate from PS.

We are looking to allow Wonder 1x in Filter to allow users that cannot use Automate (Affinity and PSE for example, don’tahve Automate menu) the ability to use Wonder.

Okay. I thought upscaling and sending to “Cloud” for certain models was supposed to be supported via File > Automate (which is how I access the products in my Ps workflow).

Sounds like that’s still the case.

If we cannot send to Wonder, or other models, that require solely remote server processing (vs local) then a message needs to be added to the Plugin versions saying the model(s) cannot be used as a Ps (or, other) plugin (even if via File > Automate). Users should not see “sending to the Cloud”, “Enhancing with Wonder”, “Processing” at all if that is not a viable way to work with Wonder (in any of its versions) or any other model that relies on remote servers. Can’t depend on folks reading not readily visible documentation. Needs a msg box either in the UI or one that comes up as soon as someone tries to send an image for remote processing. IMHO. Otherwise, we wait, nothing happens and we get frustrated and think something’s broken or just not working on our system.

It is possible to use the Cloud through File Automate, yes. The progress bar issue will b fixed in next patch. I separated this thread as its getting off topic to what the original poster on Releases had sent and not related to his specific need.

Got it! Thx!!! I wondered if that was the issue I experienced with my image not getting processed with Wonder from inside Ps (since I always use File > Automate). :+1:

Server can have some issues and usually rerunning the file would work if there was any cloud issues, and we can have a further look if keeps happening consistently :smiley:

Leaving this in General as can be helpful for users looking to upscale from PS in the new app (the warning in app mentions the PS path but just in case)
