About Topaz Starlight Precise 2.6

Topaz Starlight Precise 2.6 is a video restoration and upscaling model focused on preserving fine detail and temporal consistency while improving clarity. Over 2.5 it adds a softness control for fine-tuning sharpness, fixes a flicker bug, and renders up to 15% faster.

A detail-preserving upscaler for AI-generated video and archival sources: it removes the soft, plastic look of generated footage, adds realistic faces and textures, and keeps text and labels legible. Use it to upscale input to 1080p or 4k and control output frame rate.
