Plus other photos from news sites.

I've found a few

My thought is the upscale cleans up the image, which is a positive. As long as it’s not altering it with added images or removing items. Before AI I would improve my photos by using available photo edit tools. Same thing here.

Personally I hate ai. It's ruining all the photos and currently ruining all the videos on YouTube as well. They're being scrubbed clean of all detail and all the people's faces look like they're wearing Halloween masks and then they're being mis-labelled as "in HD".

I don’t see that issue here. Every upscale is not the same and these last posts look nice. If you weren’t told these were improved you’d never notice. These don’t looked scrubbed to me at all, and certainly some photos come with a graininess or dullness that I don’t mind seeing repaired to bring out the beauty of the women.

The problem is if you look closely at these upgraded pictures, people's faces in them are horrifying. If people like that I suppose that's up to them, but to say it's 'not for me' would be a massive understatement:

I think that's the issue for me. If a picture is upscaled and there are little imperfections, maybe a bit of text on a poster on a wall that is out of focus or comes out as garbled on the upscaled image, but the main focus of the image is unaffected then I have no issue with it. But when it starts to mess up peoples faces or bodies I find it distracts more than it enhances.

One more from last year's (but fresh!) vets unc, thru a sidechannel

as a long term contributor to this thread I'd like to chime in on the upscale/ai issue, since this is a current and growing topic.

first, it is very well true that the AI can't give you anything real that wasn't there in the first place. those prudent student photos are a great example, as they were (unfortunately) heavily censored by the original publishers of the calendar and you can still see that is the case with the AI.

second, popular or not, loved by all, some or few, it is my suggestion that any similar images from now on ought to go in their own thread. there are other calendar threads for best slips and favorite calendar photo of all time, etc....an "upscaled calendar photo" thread would allow those who like the format to enjoy the photos there while keeping this thread for mostly new finds as it has generally been for nearly two decades.

Noted. I have requested mod deletion for my posts in this thread, and will post no others.
