Question 1

When should I use Topaz Image Upscaler for image work?

Accepted Answer

Topaz Image Upscaler is strongest when the image is already the right image and the only real problem left is size. It fits approved ecommerce stills, campaign key art, product images for review decks, and any chosen frame that should survive a larger export without going back into generation.

Question 2

What is Topaz Image Upscaler's real scope on Rivya right now?

Accepted Answer

On Rivya, Topaz Image Upscaler is exposed as a one-source-image option for enlargement and resolution enhancement. You bring in one approved still, choose a 1K, 2K, 4K, or 8K target tier, and use it as a finishing step rather than as a creative generation project.

Question 3

Which controls or inputs matter most once you're evaluating Topaz Image Upscaler for real work?

Accepted Answer

The first real question is not 1K versus 8K; it is whether the source is already worth preserving at all. Once that is true, the useful decision becomes target size by use case: 1K or 2K for review and deck work, 4K for heavier delivery, or 8K only when the file really has to survive a large-format export.

Question 4

When is Topaz Image Upscaler worth the current credit tier on Rivya?

Accepted Answer

In the current Rivya setup, 1K costs 5 credits, 2K costs 10, 4K costs 20, and 8K costs 40. That spend is easiest to justify when the chosen still is already approved and rerendering it would be more expensive, riskier, or slower than enlarging it. It is not a cheap ideation tool; it is a finishing step for images you already care about keeping.

Question 5

When should I choose Topaz Image Upscaler over a lighter or cheaper alternative on Rivya?

Accepted Answer

Choose Topaz Image Upscaler when the composition is locked and the problem is delivery size, not image direction. If the shot still needs a new background, object cleanup, style change, or composition change, go back to editing or generation first; if it only needs a mild polish, a lighter upscale path is often enough.

Question 6

What can I test first on this page?

Accepted Answer

This page is best for the first delivery-minded upscale pass on a still you have already chosen to keep. It is the right place to test whether the image survives a larger export cleanly before you start moving that asset through a broader delivery project.

Question 7

What can I set up on this page?

Accepted Answer

The public page setup is built around one source image and one upscale decision. There is no pretence that this starts from a prompt; the page is organized around bringing in the approved still and choosing whether the next export should be 1K, 2K, 4K, or 8K.

Question 8

Which controls are worth checking before I hit run?

Accepted Answer

Before the first result, decide whether the source is clean enough to keep and which target tier actually matches the use case. The useful comparison is rarely just 2K versus 4K in the abstract; it is whether the next export is for review, deck use, print, or a more serious final handoff.

Question 9

Do I need to sign in before I run here, and how do credits work?

Accepted Answer

The page is public, but the actual upscale run is still gated behind sign in. Public guidance is 5 credits for 1K, 10 for 2K, 20 for 4K, and 40 for 8K, so it makes sense to inspect the source and the target size first, then sign in once you are sure the image is worth processing.

Question 10

When should I stay on this page, and when should I move into the full Studio?

Accepted Answer

Stay here while you are still judging whether the still is worth upscaling and what the first enlargement pass looks like. Open the full Studio once the work turns into a batch, a saved version history, or a longer post-processing pipeline around several assets.
