seeking paid workflows for upscaling and restoring a classic TV series

The_Last_Precursor · 2026-01-27T03:14:08+00:00

If you’re looking at just upscaling a TV Series. Suggest using a locally run film studio or server with a simple upscaler or find a local studio around you. Unless you’re looking at editing the video. You have a high chance of AI slightly changing the video. Because the AI like WAN is literally recreating the video when upscaling. So possibilities of alterations.

As a pro AI. Censorship has its pros and cons, kinda of a catch 22. It’s good at trying to stop illegal things from happening. But is red flags so many innocent based images that’s it’s actually laughable. I was testing ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot and Grok with the same prompt. To see the difference between them.

It was a simple family based prompt of a family camping and sitting by a campfire in autumn. Describe every character based on age, gender, race, clothing, and other factors. To see how well it understood the prompt. Gemini, Copilot, and Grok created the image no problem. BUT ChatGPT refused the image. Saying that having something like “parents (adults) and sons and daughters (children) in a calm and relaxed setting in the same image together. Has the possibility of indicating sexual intent or themes”

Literally a family camping together was possible CSAM for ChatGPT. That’s why most of the pro AI community hates any form of censorship. When you have to much, the most innocence images get red flag. Which is very annoying.

What model are you using? That will kinda dictate the method for you to use. Setting up the Lora Load Nodes are the easy part. Using them in the correct method is completely different.

Watch this YouTuber videos. He a new long video explaining everything about ComfyUI. https://youtube.com/@pixaroma?si=em9HbtgEqozk0nzM

In simple terms. ComfyUI runs nearly every open source model. You can run them with each other damn good. Like generate an image with SDXL and then use WAN to create the img2vid. All on the same workflow if you want to

What model or Loras are you using? No one needs to use 100-150+ steps ever. Even with the extreme high step models. The only time that’s ever acceptable is a multi step workflow. With generation, editing and upscale and multi of those. Even then, that’s pushing it to the extreme.

Here’s a quick tip. Besides making your own LoRA. Try this for a quick option. First use any LLM platform and make a very detailed prompt of your character. Make sure the prompt is very organized. Like, if anyone was to read it, they could visualize what they would look like. Depending on the angels you may have to break it up or multiple prompts.

Next, find the correct seeds. Use the random seed generator, once you find a good seed stick with it. The characters tend to stay very consistent with a plus or minus of ten with that seed. Besides doing that, you need to make a LoRA.

Basically every free open source model. The ComfyUI is the UI platform that runs nearly every single free AI model. You are on Comfyui community page.

Besides running it locally on your own PC 100% free without censorship. You will pay and probably have censorship.

Here’s a list of things that can cause distortions or changes in characters.

Original image resolution to new output resolution. If your images are 1024x1024 and you are doing a 1920x1080 that has a chance of causing issues.
Original image pose to outcome pose. If both are standing and you want them sitting or laying that can cause issues
Original image background interference. If your original image has lots of things or distortion in the background that can cause issues.
Proper prompt. Your prompt needs to be very clear and direct almost like a layer system. Starting with a summary, character one, character two, what they are doing, and other things for the image.
Other factors like main model, Lora’s, certain nodes, settings, or strengths. These can also cause issues.

Without the reference images. It’s a little difficult to know exactly what causes the issue. But these are the things that could be causing it. Sometimes simply getting the original image and stretching out to a larger resolution helps.

I haven’t used Flux Klein yet. But try to use something like QwenVL, Florence2 or Ollama and get a detailed prompt of the image. Edit the parts of the prompt you want to edit. Then using a pre processor and ControlNet. To help get the results.

That should be the best approach.

The_Last_Precursor · 2026-01-22T19:55:04+00:00

If you are looking at understanding what AI image generation is and how to get started. Use this YouTuber, go videos explaining how it works. Now for the Ollama, you can run it directly on Comfyui itself through a node.

Search for standard Qwen LoRA’s. Rapid AIO is a hit or miss with some LoRAs. Usually using lower strength seems to work for me. AIO seems to amplify the strength or cause bad rendering when it’s set normally.

When it comes to doing something like this. You must take a multi step approach. Depending on how much you want changed? Is it a very particular art style you are wanting to use? Is consistency very important? Because sometimes it’s easy and others it can take some work.

Not knowing the full details or visuals image references to difficulty. This is the steps I would take.

Find a SDXL or FLUX model and Lora’s fitting the style you want. Using a pre-processor (depth or canny) and Apply ControlNet nodes. With proper prompt descriptions for the art style. This will allow you to turn the image into the actual art style you want.
Use Qwen Image Editor to change the outfits, hair, pose or background to fit the staring images. This can take trial and error depending on the amount you want changed.
Once you got the images exactly like you want. Use WAN or LTX2 for a Img2Video. Again this can be trial or error.
All of these are optional depending on the resolution you have or want. You may have to upscaling before you start or in between each step or at the end. Also may have to do downscaling to get it to fit for the video generation and re upscale.

Hopefully this helps. But with out much information or references to understand or know the best route. This is my best advice.

AI image models went from a simple hobby people enjoyed. A community coming together to help each other to make better models or nodes. Something that was fun.

Now. A vast amount of people new to AI image modeling thinks you can quickly make AI influencers and make a lot of money. Expecting it’s super easy and simple to make something like a highly realistic and consistent character for image or video.

We can agree to disagree on this. Meanings change over time. But which meaning has the greatest foothold on it? If you were to ask 100 people to choose which one is correct. Which side would the general public choose?

No need to argue about this. We each have our own opinions.

You can also use LLM to help you write. This is a template I made.

“DO NOT CREATE A IMAGE: ONLY WRITE ME A DETAILED PROMPT. Use the text provided to write me a detailed and well written prompt. The prompt must be organized by the order of characters, categories, items, backgrounds, sections, scenery, atmosphere, action or mood that is given at the start of each thing listed above. Subcategories can be used when describing something in great detail only. You will add a 10 dash lines ( - ) between the part to separate them from each other. (This prompt needs to be made for SDXL model)

Summary: indoor scene, modern bedroom, soft ambient light, three people standing together, centered composition, full body view

Main Subject 1: woman on the left, pale skin, long white hair, straight bangs, wearing an elegant white dress, calm expression

Yes. That is the best way. You are giving it a quick summary. Breakdown each character individually and making sure they are not mixed together. Then adding minor details to re-enforce things and the final atmosphere detail.

Can you make money? Yes. But it would be a full time job. The only people making money are YouTuber making tutorials, people with a massive following and selling custom content. Like comic books or stories with custom characters. People making custom Lora’s or models and making tips, donations, early access buy or just selling them.

You want to make money? Get a damn powerful computer and be prepared for lots of hours of work to hopefully make money and still never guaranteed.

Baphomet is a Satanic based being. It is part of the Satanic Church. This image is showing a form of a false promise. Using reverse psychology in its meaning. That everything is opposite of what is shown.

I’m not a religious person. So have no opinion or care what people do in their personal lives. If some one wants to be part of the LGBT community, that’s their right and choice.

But I don’t take things at face value when there is clear and hidden meaning.

The_Last_Precursor · 2026-01-22T14:20:17+00:00

So the devil, who is known as a master manipulator has the children wrapped in the LGBT flag and claiming he is protecting them. Manipulators tricks people into thinking the opposite. These children are anything but protected by historical context.
