Experimental feature: it tries to give an extra boost of reality to your images, a kind of "less AI look". Works especially well with photographs but it also magically works with illustrations too. IMPORTANT: deactivate it if you are trying to generate something that is really fantastic or a known character, otherwise it won't follow your prompt well.

Higher values can achieve greater detail per pixel at higher resolutions at the cost of giving a somewhat more "HDR" or artificial look. Very high values can generate quite crazy things like eyes where they shouldn't appear, etc.

Presets:

• Portraits: around 33% + 2k resolution.
• Landscapes: around 85% + 4k resolution.
• Anime / Cartoon: 33% - 52% + Illusio engine.
• 3d / 3d cartoon: 52% + Illusio engine.
• Interior design: 85% + Illusio engine + 4k.
• Exterior architecture: 85% + 4k.
• Film still: 33% - 52%.

• Illusio: for smoother illustrations, landscapes, and nature. The softer looking one.

• Sharpy: better for realistic images like photographs and for a more grainy look. It provides the sharpest and most detailed images. If you use it for illustrations it will give them more texture and a less softer look.

• Sparkle: also good for realistic images. It's a middle ground between Illusio and Sharpy.

When this option is enabled, using the same settings will consistently produce the same image. Fixed generations are ideal for fine-tuning, as it allows for incremental changes to parameters (such as the prompt) to see subtle variations in the output. When disabled, expect each generation to introduce a degree of randomness, leading to more diverse outcomes.

• Just a prompt: describe the light only with your prompt. You can specify any characteristic such as color, time of day, type and shape of the light, etc. You can even write something like "Under the water" and it will work. Be careful, it's really addictive!

• Reference image: the light will be transfered from a reference image. Magnific will try to mimic the light, colors and shadows of the reference.

• Lightmap: this will allow you to paint your own lights! If you think about it, it's super powerful! A lightmap is an image where black color indicates the absence of light, and lighter colors like pure white or light shades of colors indicate the lights, colors, and shapes of the light. Here are three examples of lightmaps that can help you understand the possibilities: example 1, example 2, example 3.

It allows you to specify the level of light transfer, meaning the intensity that your prompt, reference image, or lightmap will have. A value of 0% will keep your image closest to the original, while 100% represents the maximum possible light transfer.

If you enable "Interpolate from original", lower values on this slider will make the result even more similar to your original image.

When enabled, this feature will make your final image interpolate from the original using the "Light transfer strength" slider, at the cost of sometimes restricting the generation's freedom.

If disabled, the generation will be freer and will generally produce better results. However, for example, if you want to generate all the frames of a video where a room transitions from having the lights off and very dim lighting to gradually becoming fully illuminated as a new day begins, activating this option might be useful (together with graudally ingreasing the "Light transfer strength" slider).

When enabled, it will change the background based on your prompt and/or reference image. This is super useful for product placement and portraits. However, don’t forget to disable it if your scene is something like a landscape or an interior.

It will try to maintain the texture and small details of the original image. Especially good for product photography, texts, etc. Disable it if you prefer a smoother result.

• Standard: well-balanced.

• Darker but realistic: if you want a chiaroscuro effect like Caravaggio or a scene like Tim Burton, this is the way.

• Clean: it offers results that are slightly further from the light you wanted to transfer, but with the benefit of appearing sharper. It works very well with "Reference image".

• Smooth: it offers really cool results when you use "Reference image." Specifically, it provides a smoother way to transfer the light.

• Brighter: adds a bit more light to the equation.

• Contrasted & HDR: when you need something impressive.

• Just composition: it doesn't transfer any light. But together with "Change background" can be super useful for product placement!

The image that transfers the style. For example, if it's an image with a cartoon style, you'll transfer that style to the input image.

Allows you to go from your original image textures and colors (0%) to fully transferring the style of the reference image (100%), guided by your prompt.

Allows you to maintain the general structure of your image (lines, borders, framing, etc.). Combined with "Style strength", you can do things like fully transferring the style but not the structure: something cool that will be near to a completely new image but with the style of the reference image and your prompt.

Different ways of transfering the style:

• Faithful: best at transferring the style of the reference image. However, at high levels of "Structure strength", it can create somewhat overloaded images.

• GenZ: adds a more artistic, saturated, and colorful touch.

• Psychedelia: similar to GenZ but with softer tones and a dreamy vibe.

• Detaily: transfers the style a bit less, but can help gain sharpness.

• Clear: similar to "Detaily", but a bit softer.

• Donotstyle: almost disables the style transfer from the reference image, which is very useful when the goal is not to transmit the style of the reference image, but simply to modify the final image through your prompt and "Structure Strength".

• Donotstyle Sharp: similar to Donotstyle, but with more saturated colors and, in most cases, crisper lines and shapes.

• Balanced: very well-balanced, beautiful, and useful in most situations. It can work for realistic images, but it mainly excels in digital drawing, design, and subtle details.

• Definio: definition, balanced, clean, detailed and realistic.

• Illusio: for illustrations, paintings, drawings, sketches and digital art.

• 3d Cartoon: perfect for 3d cartoons :)

• Colorful Anime: perfect for colorful drawings and anime. Try a prompt like "lots of flowers, sunny summer, vibrant colors, blooming" and marvel at the explosion of colors.

• Caricature: caricatures and colorful cartoons.

• Real: extremely detailed. Good for realistic images. Works well with "Donotstyle" flavors.

• Super Real: for realistic and detailed images. Tip: Use the "Clear" flavor for even more realistic and defined results.

• Softy: smooth and soft results. Tip: You can use it as a smooth base for future high-resolution upscaling.

When this option is enabled, using the same settings will consistently produce the same image. Fixed generations are ideal for fine-tuning, as it allows for incremental changes to parameters (such as the prompt) to see subtle variations in the output. When disabled, expect each generation to introduce a degree of randomness, leading to more diverse outcomes.

Allows the AI to "hallucinate" additional details, achieving greater realism at the cost of moving further away from the original image. Here's where Magnific's magic shines! But be careful: really high values can lead to some pretty strange results.

Increases definition and detail, though very high values can result in images with an artificial appearance or blotches.

(Advanced) Increasing this value will make the generation more closely resemble the original image, but very high values can result in blotches or a dirtier look. Lower values give more freedom to the generation at the cost of moving further away from the original image.

(Advanced)

• Illusio: better for illustrations, landscapes, and nature. The smoother one. Also good for the first pass of several upscales. Removes JPEG artifacts.

• Sharpy: better for realistic images like photographs. It provides the sharpest and most detailed images! However, it doesn't remove JPEG artifacts and can sometimes even create "fake JPEG artifacts".

• Sparkle: also good for realistic images. It's a middle ground between Illusio and Sharpy. Removes JPEG artifacts.

For multiple upscales, you can experiment: start, for example, with Illusio and finish with Sharpy to find the "sweet spot" for the style of your images.
