True, tbh I'd only use these free online services for memes/random photos of people.

Personal photos would definitely make use of some locally/offline run A.I. upscaler/enhancer like Topaz's stuff. Only downside is that you can't convince everyone to get a nice GPU with +6GB of VRAM so its this unfortunate grey zone that people that want to try this but only have phones/tablets would have to wager what online services to use.

Oh damn, didn't expect it to be that central Manhattan, thought it was like somewhere out in Brooklyn.

Guess that's 70's/80's NYC for you.

Full uncrop edit, width crop

Source artwork for comparison from this article.

Used DALL-E 2 to uncrop, then merged multiple results, further fixed up and matched color grade/gamma in Photoshop. Upscaled via Topaz Gigapixel A.I.
