How to Add Detail to AI Art with Magnific's High Creativity Mode
Push Magnific's Creativity and Fractality sliders to turn a soft AI render into a richly detailed final image.
Most AI image generators produce soft, low-detail output. For illustrations and concept art, that is where Magnific shines, because high Creativity adds intricate texture instead of just enlarging. This is the opposite of the cautious photo workflow: here you want the model to invent. This guide tunes the sliders for maximum detail without breaking the composition.
What you need
- A Magnific account with credits
- An AI-generated image, for example from Midjourney or Flux
- A willingness to run two or three passes to find the sweet spot
- Enough credits, since high creativity at large scale costs more
Step 1: Choose a higher scale and creativity
Load the image into the Upscaler and pick a 4x scale. For illustrations, set Creativity around 6 to 9. This tells Magnific to enrich every surface with new detail rather than just smoothing existing pixels.
Step 2: Raise Fractality for intricate texture
Fractality controls how much fine, repeating detail Magnific spreads across the image. Push it to 6 or 8 for things like foliage, fabric, and fantasy armor. Keep it lower for clean surfaces like sky or skin, where heavy fractality looks noisy.
Step 3: Add a prompt to steer the new detail
The prompt field lets you tell Magnific what the detail should be. A line such as intricate engraved metal, weathered leather, fine fabric weave gives the model a target, so it adds relevant texture instead of random noise.
Step 4: Compare passes and keep the best
Run the upscale, then try one pass two points lower and one two points higher on Creativity. View all three at 100 percent and pick the one that adds richness without inventing things that contradict the composition.
Result: a soft 1024 px fantasy concept becomes a 4096 px image where the armor shows engraving, the cloak shows a woven texture, and the background gains depth, all while the overall scene stays the one you started with.
