It looks promising, its enhancements of Bing images are great. But how do I create on Krea? How do I tell it what I want it to do in the enhancement? Basically, I'm looking for a guide or instructions on it before I subscribe.
For example, on the left, the Bing original. On the right, the Krea version. But I would have liked to change the arm to a woman's.
Krea will use AI to enhance images, but you can't make such drastic changes. The only place where you can try is on the right side under the 'upscaling' amounts. (I usually keep it on 2x) You will see a small slider for settings. Click it and you can scroll down a bit to see the prompt that it creates from the images. That is the only place where you may attempt to change the image, and it works for some things, but not drastic changes. For example, I have a photo with whipped cream, but Krea saw it as milk. I will change the prompt to whipped cream to avoid the photo showing a watery cream rather than thick. But changing a male arm to a female one may be asking it too much. It will do extreme changes on background people though. I had a scene with males and females in the background, and by putting 'women in the background' it gender-changed the men to women, even leaving them topless. (Here's a sample)

I have tried it, but found that it produces inferior results to Bing/Copilot. There are more deformities and less realistic images. I find using Bing/Copilot to create, and then Krea to enhance, produces the best results.

www.krea.ai and you can do a limited number of images each day for free. It's based on processing time, so the upscaling factor will determine how many you will get. They have a $10/month plan which drops to $8/month if you pay one year. (that's what I went with)
I'm about to post some AI photos I made with Perchance, not the greatest of AI generation sites, but Krea made them amazing. In the next day or so, I'll post some before-and-afters.

I'll certainly be interested to see that. Please could you include something about what settings you're using for upscaling in Krea? Have you settled on some that you use all the time or do you vary them?

I usually use the default settings, the 2x upscaling factor. Next, I might look at the prompt that gets auto-generated. If it's a photo with whipped cream, but the prompt thinks it's milk, I'll change the prompt to say whipped cream so the resulting photo doesn't have a more watery substance. Normally though, I never even touch or look at that stuff, I just leave it on 2X and hit the Enhance button and let it do it's thing. If my source image is too small, I might go with 4X enhancing, but usually I leave it on 2X.

Thanks for the info. I'll try it again when I get chance without being too tempted to tinker with the default settings. It would be nice if Krea produced a guide which explained how best to use them, not everyone spends all day on Discord....
Whilst what Krea did with my first practice efforts was remarkable with regard to faces, I found too much of the original image was being changed and, for me, it was being changed in a deleterious way.
