![]() ![]() ![]() ML (machine learning) upscaling has become popular with modern GPUs. Orange's whiskers, his fur, and his pet tag, while providing nice soft results on the areas out of focus. The ML upscaling is much better at preserving details in the image, such as Mr. While none of these upscales are nearly as good as a high-resolution photo, ML upscaling provides a much better result in a pinch. It will then infer that it should try and keep the sharpness rather than lose the detail, when it creates new pixels to fill the space from upscaling. If you have a sharp line, perhaps a sharp mountain silhouette against a sunset (or in my case, a cat whisker against the ground), the machine-learning algorithm will "notice" the sharp contrast between the two areas as it has been "trained" to do so. Before machine-learning, upscaling meant duplicating pixels (nearest neighbor) or duplicating pixels and creating transitions between the hue/luminosity (bilinear). These use tricks like taking into account the hue/luminosity (color and its brightness) of surrounding pixels and filling in what it believes the new pixels should be. Upscaling has come a long way in the past few years, with machine-learning-assisted upscaling algorithms. This happens when you zoom in on an image in an application like Preview or Photoshop, or zoom in on a web browser or pinch and zoom on your iPhone. One of the very frequent tasks computers do is upscaling raster images, aka zooming in or increasing the size of an image. These are images that shipped with OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and upscaled for modern computers. I do not own these images and thus am providing these free-of-charge (as I do with everything on my blog). The Abstract Desktop Series from Snow LeopardĬheck out Every OS X Snow Leopard Abstract Desktop - in Glorious 5k and 8k Resolution for the Abstract backgrounds from OS X 10.6. The iPhone wallpaper versions are 2000 x 2778 which should give wiggle room to position the backgrounds, see Apple's Change the wallpaper on your iPhone for instructions on how to set your iPhone wallpaper.ĭownload Evening Reflections 5k (21.3 MB)īonus Pond Reeds (Light / Dark) Dynamic Wall Paper Also adding Light / Dark desktops as I have time. The above is an excerpt on a video I'm working on about OS X Snow Leopard, the most beloved OS X/macOS release, but I have other opinions ) If you are at all curious, you can check out the Apple related vids I've made on the YouTubes.Īll the photos are in their original 16:10, in the 5k (if there's such a resolution) 5120 x 3200 as I wanted users to be able to position the desktops as they see fit. For a long explination of how I made these, scroll to the bottom. Some had weaker sources than others due to focus/compression etc. I hand touched up the photos besides upscaling, sharpening, smoothing/blurring, retexturing, denoising, graining depending on the photos. Recently, I converted every Abstract Desktop background that shipped with 10.6 Snow Leopard, in Every OS X Snow Leopard Abstract Desktop - in Glorious 5k and 8k Resolution after being inspired by the wonderful 512 Pixel's Every Default macOS Wallpaper – in Glorious 6K Resolution post. ![]()
