This is the second part of my tutorials on super-resolutions.

I want to be able to generate pictures above their normal resolutions.
It can be like in this famous "zoom and enhance" trick, to give additional details to pictures.
But it can also be to make generated images larger with a better quality or to remove the blur that would otherwise have an upscaled picture. This is what we are going to see here.
This article is more a serie of experiments that I make with Automatic1111, to see the changes induced by some upscale settings on generated pictures, that's not really a "how to".

I said it in a previous video: Nowadays, one of the biggest challenges of AI for content creation is to be able to generate stable characters and not just a serie of non-resembling chimeras.
So when I saw a video about a tool, PhotoMaker, that is able to use the characteristics of a picture to generate other pictures based on the characteristics of the first one, I wanted to test it.
