I have three models in Weavy for upscaling (ESRGAN, Topaz, Bria) and do a predictable job of applying contrast and blending frames. So so. Not overly impressed. What I need is a model to upscale and resize archival 1280 x 962 to full 1080. I know this also requires generative fill horizontally. Recs and experience with this?

Sure I can resize and premiere, but it requires pushing in too far and I know I could apply generative fill in another model but looking for a one stop approach.

I have a friend likely to be homeless shortly. They have next to zero friends and family for support. They are retirement aged, white male, no college degree, spent their life in the art world supported by their spouse. Spouse has passed, there is no savings. They have few hirable skills and no references. After the grace period of couch surfing, what awaits them? What resources are there for job searches and housing? I know there is no “typical” homeless anymore, but this one’s really a-typical: no drugs, alcohol or smoking, perfect health, just no experience doing anything. City jobs? Bussing tables? Cell phone store? Is their age a red flag or do employers not really care once it’s explained?

Been rabbit holing, need a reset with a fresh thread. I’d like to do an electric drop screen in a living room with LOTS of light, granted we’d be viewing in evenings/after dark. The span from projector to screen is 13ft, screen would be 9ft. I can do a short throw or, mount the projector to the ceiling or wall. Can this be done for 3k and any recs?
