Years on, no tool matches Magnific's creative upscaling, says Redditor seeking alternatives

A Stable Diffusion user says that years after Magnific.ai launched, he still can't find a creative upscaler that comes close — one that adds convincing detail, not just sharpness.
- He suspects Magnific tiles images, processes them individually, and stitches them back, possibly running old SD 1.5 under the hood, yet newer models and workflows can't replicate its results
- He's asking the community for ComfyUI workflows, models, or tricks
- The thread highlights a curious gap: an older tool's engineering combo still beats newer model-based approaches
