  "prompt": "The user wants to add a surfer to the wave in the illustration while preserving the original ukiyo-e woodblock art style. The surfer should be depicted mid-action, crouched low on a modern-style surfboard, carving through the crest of the wave with one arm extended for balance and the other gripping the board. Their wavy hair and athletic physique should match the dynamic motion. The background must remain unchanged, including the iconic Mount Fuji and the traditional Japanese text, to maintain the artwork's historical aesthetic and composition."

Chrono Edit Upscaler LoRA | [image-to-image]

Chrono's Edit Upscaler delivers 2-4x image resolution enhancement at $0.02-$0.03 per image, trading inference speed for quality through 30-step diffusion refinement. Built on LoRA-enhanced diffusion architecture, it cleans artifacts and adds detail during upscaling rather than simple interpolation. Ideal for production workflows requiring quality recovery from compressed or low-resolution sources.

Performance

At $0.02 per 480p output and $0.03 per 720p, Chrono Edit Upscaler positions as a cost-effective upscaling solution, approximately 50 images per dollar for standard resolution.

Metric	Result	Context
Upscale Range	1x to 4x	Configurable scale factor via API parameter
Inference Steps	2-50 steps (default 30)	Higher steps improve quality, extend processing time
Cost per Image	$0.02 (480p) / $0.03 (720p)	50 generations per $1.00 at 480p resolution
LoRA Support	Up to 3 additional LoRAs	Merge custom style adapters during upscaling
Related Endpoints	Paintbrush	Gallery variant for targeted editing vs upscaling

Diffusion-Based Upscaling With Style Control

Unlike traditional interpolation upscalers, Chrono Edit Lora Gallery uses guided diffusion inference to reconstruct detail during the upscaling process. The architecture supports custom LoRA adapters (up to 3 simultaneously), allowing style-consistent enhancement for specific visual domains.

What this means for you:

Artifact Reduction: 30-step diffusion process removes compression artifacts while adding coherent detail, not just pixel interpolation
Style Preservation: LoRA scale parameter (0-2 range) controls how strongly custom style adapters influence the upscaled output
Flexible Resolution: 1-4x upscale factor accommodates everything from subtle enhancement to full 4x enlargement
Format Control: Direct output to JPEG, PNG, or WebP with optional safety filtering for production pipelines

How It Stacks Up

Chrono Edit ($0.039) – Chrono Edit Upscaler trades general editing flexibility for specialized upscaling at approximately half the cost ($0.02-$0.03 vs $0.039). Chrono Edit handles broader image manipulation tasks including object addition and scene modification, while the upscaler focuses exclusively on resolution enhancement with optional LoRA styling.

Chrono Edit Lora ($0.039) – Chrono Edit Upscaler prioritizes resolution enhancement over freeform editing at 25-35% lower cost ($0.02-$0.03 vs $0.039). Chrono Edit LoRA maintains full prompt-driven editing capabilities with LoRA support, ideal for complex scene modifications where upscaling is secondary to content transformation.

FASHN Virtual Try-On V1.5 – Chrono Edit Upscaler provides general-purpose upscaling with style control across any image domain. FASHN specializes in fashion-specific garment transfer and body-aware composition for e-commerce workflows where product visualization accuracy matters more than generic enhancement.
