my thoughts: despite the fact SuperResolution V3 is (obviously) cleaner than "classic" upscale filters, it relies on artifacts... indeed, you could see that it distorts some shapes (eyes, last teeth etc); MagicUpPlus increments details while maintaining shapes... I added a grain plate to give the impression of further details.
Yes, MagicUpPlus really is better at keeping the shapes close to the Spline64Resize which enhancing the detail greatly. But the picture seems to be brightened up more by the process.
Did you improve it with the method DrDre used, different color spaces and reversing?
