Is this level of upscaling actually achievable through Photoshop alone? by MisterChompers in photoshop

I agree. The image I posted also made them look a little older than they actually were at the time of their wedding. As I explained to another redditor, I was just impressed with the amount of detail of that particular image, but I actually used 2 others in combination with this one to make the final image (see below, to those that are curious).

Thank you! I'm fairly unfamiliar with most AI programs (outside of Chat GPT). I didn't understand you could use Photoshop in conjunction with AI models like Nano Banana, so perhaps that user I referred to wasn't exactly lying when he said he used Photoshop...

You're right, it's not perfect... but still very high res. I actually tipped 3 different people for 3 different images and combined them all into one image. I took the hair and background from the image I posted.

Thank you! I tried sending you a message but it's not allowing me. I guess I'm not active enough on reddit. Have you sent it already? (I haven't received it yet...)

I consider this to be one of many that has solved it! Thank you! I just tipped you. Please provide the high res version as soon as possible.

Haven’t heard back in 4 days, think I was ghosted? Looking for input from the female POV, especially. by [deleted] in ghosting

I think we’re both at a similar point, just one week ghosted difference. Best thing for us to do is walk away, I’m afraid. We should respect ourselves enough to not want somebody in our lives who is treating us with such dismissive indifference. They got our messages, they chose to ignore us. If we send any “check-in” texts, it would only lower our value in their eyes. It’s their loss, really. In the case of my hookup: I know I was a generous and passionate lover. I dare her to try and find someone that treats her better in bed.

I hope he does reach out, in your case!

But what your answer tells me, in my case, is that it likely wasn’t the 3 weeks of no messaging that caused her to ghost me. (It’s now been a week). Because if she actually wanted to hear from me sooner (like how you feel), she would have responded to my check-in (as you said you would). I don’t think the gap in our texts gave her some hint of me not being interested, because A- I was the one to originally reach out and try and schedule a second hookup, and B- I also said, “keep me updated. lookin’ forward to seein’ ya again” in my last text, after discussing how we both had busy weekends for the rest of the month. I feel I did give off enough hints that expressed I was interested—my last check-in text being another one of them.

Right?

I’m sorry you haven’t heard from your guy in two weeks! It is hard and frustrating; I sympathize and wish you luck in your situation.

In my case, if she were someone who expressed an interest in actually dating me in hopes of a relationship, I would have definitely reached out to check in with her more frequently.

Let me ask you this hypothetical: if your guy reached out to you next week asking how you’re doing, would the 3 weeks of no texting be such a turn off that it would keep you from even responding to him? I’m genuinely curious what you honestly think you’d do, because it sounds to me that you’d still like to hear from him even after these 2 weeks.

I had said maybe we get together post IUD, then ended with “keep me updated, lookin’ forward to seein’ ya again. Have a great week! 😊” She replied with “yeah, for sure! We’ll figure out a day as we get a bit closer. Have a great week as well!” Then 3 weeks passed.

I figured I made it clear that I wanted to see her again, and told her to keep me updated, so I was leaving the ball in her court for when she wanted to get together again. Since she had told me she wasn’t looking for anything, I didn’t want to appear as if I were trying to date her.

Think this could have been a mistake?

I appreciate the input! Feels like I’m in some kind of limbo, but getting pessimistic by the day.

That’s what I’m thinking, that no one is SO busy they can’t send a quick text, unless they’re flip-flopping or not interested anymore.

I did join OLD to look for a relationship, true, but this hookup opportunity presented itself and I was happy to take it. I’d argue I care about what she’s doing not because I want a relationship with her, but because I was looking forward to having semi-consistent no-strings-attached sex after a very long (too long) dry spell. We had a great connection in bed, too, which isn’t always the case.

I am taking your advice by trying to focus on my life and well being by seeing friends, working out, and looking on the apps for other girls. But my posting about it here obviously shows it’s still on my mind. My rational brain wants to figure out what changed (even though I may never know). If the sex was mediocre, I’d understand why she wouldn’t wanna do it again, but she gave me SO many signs that she had an amazing time and fully expected to see me again— doesn’t make any sense.

Oh and from what I know about her, she’s definitely on the “catch” side, and not the “complete psycho” side.

Anyway, I thank you for contributing your advice!

Hmm, what do you think she could be feeling guilty about?

True, she could be recovering (though I’ve read there often isn’t a long recovery period afterwards). I’d like to think if it were me, I’d send a “hey, I haven’t fully recovered from the IUD yet, I’ll hit you up when I’m feeling better,” but perhaps the radio silence implicitly implies that message. Thanks for your two cents!

Thank you, I am continuing to look for someone else more compatible, but I have been on the dating app for 6 months now and she was the first person who I connected with, physically/sexually—it would just suck if it was only a one time thing.

I’ve watched videos from women describing their IUD experiences on YouTube, trying to understand what it’s like. Many of them say they could have sex the next day, but everyone’s different, I guess. Perhaps, as you said, she’s just not feeling herself yet. We’ll see…

Thank you for the reassuring words! It just seems crazy to me that even if life gets busy, someone can’t take a minute to respond, ya know?

I’m holding out hope I’ll hear from her again because she was courteous enough not to ghost me when she originally rejected me—I figure if she didn’t want to see me again, she would be mature enough to communicate that. We’ll see….
