Hi everyone, I have upscaled many decent quality 720p videos to 1080p with a single pass of Gaia, Artemis HQ or Proteus. However, I have some older videos that may benefit from a 2-pass workflow. I managed to find a number of other posts with guides for 2-pass workflows that improve the quality of l…

I like to do a denoise pass at 100% scale, then fine tune Proteus to upscale to 1080. I used to use Artemis for the denoising pass, but I’ve been getting much better results from the EZDenoise section of QYGMC in Vapoursynth. Artemis tends to make movies look painted.

100% with artemis alliased, right? I do that too often. It removes a bit of detail but at times it can add more while cleaning up edges and noise quite well. I rather use keepgrain instead of ezdenoise with qtgmc but I will compare ezdenoise with artemis alliased to see

have you tried this? [image] Found a work flow to provide better up-scale Quality General Hi All, I worked hours yesterday to profection an Upscale quality work flow and I think I found it. I am posting this and methods I used in order for you guys to test it and validate…

Proteus Remove Noise does worse things to the movie than Artemis, so my goal is to remove as much as I can before it goes through Proteus. Noise can be added back in, though I personally don’t care for it and it makes the final file larger.

okay :wink: but there’s a lot of noise in my sd videos, and the best I’ve found is denoising filters in hybrid, when I tried “ezdenoise”, I found that it took out a lot of detail, the best I’ve found for these videos is a single low denoising filter, and leave some noise just so artemis high or medi…

Are you doing that on SD sources? Theia leaves vertical lines in all the motion—at every setting value I have tried. It might not on higher resolution sources. That reminds me, I was going to make a huge post about how useless Theia is for me. I nagged so hard to get Topaz to fix the parameter input…

Here’s the general artifact: [image] It looks worse when you upscale to 1080 after. I tried going straight to 1080 but found a bug that sets all the sliders to 0 the moment I click Preview or Export. Top is the one where you can see the lines. That being said, they fixed the issue where it made t…

yes, but didn’t really give me the result I was looking for with my content.
