It somehow manages to be smoothed over and blocky at the same time

#13Congrats! Little suggestion if I may, don't use the location of the user to set the default language of the website. Everything on my computer is in English, but your website defaulted to Spanish, as I'm currently in Spain. Am no expert, but a short article I just found on the topic: https://dev.to/bitdweller/stop-setting-the-language-of-your-...
I'm in Washington, USA and it's showing spanish. That's just the default and they don't even use location to set it.

These enhance effects typically use guesswork. That would be useful to gain hints, but not to know for sure what the original looked like.
Unless the rest of the image offers details that the human observer would ignore but the AI would pick up. E.g. low res photo from 1828 of a US president - enhance to John Quincy Adams.
Surprisingly there's a daguerreotype of John Quincy Adams from 1843[1], the AI could use that; perhaps "enhance" the time backwards a bit, to make him 15 years younger.

it's just in Spanish and not dependent on location

#16If I understand correctly, there are 5 free credits (= 5 images) when I create an account. Do you plan to offer more free credits over time? Or have a plan that doesn't require a subscription?
The product looks very nice, but I'm not willing to get a monthly subscription for this (I could pay, but I have very occasional needs).

In India and Spanish for me too. However, I can select English from the selection dropdown above.
Anyways, why is that even the Big Tech does this! For instance, Google Maps will default to Dutch (which in the land of the Dutch) while my OS, the browser and everything else is in English. I found no option to say “English” and be done with it. I can translate but that isn't the correct way to it.

This image may not be a representative test case. It looks like it has heavy compression (including posterization), and overall poor quality. "Quality" meaning things like focus, contrast, and low noise- separate from resolution.

#20Tried it with some typical event photos of people that contain out-of-focus regions.
Did a pretty terrible job.
I.e. at 10k, you should see some skin structure but instead it was just color banding, eyelids had non-existing wrinkles added though etc.
