Topaz Labs Wonder 4

Wonder 4 is Topaz Labs' all-purpose generative model for image enhancement and upscaling. It treats each region of an image separately, combining denoising, deblurring, compression artifact removal, face recovery, and upscaling in one pass with no settings to tune. It suits photo restoration, cleanup of degraded or compressed images, and enhancement at the original size or enlarged up to six times, with output up to 256 megapixels.

How to upscale packaging, dashboards and printed menus with Topaz Wonder 4, so every line of copy the source shows comes back sharp and spelled the same.
Introduction
Small print is where upscaling usually breaks. A plain resize turns letters into soft gray strokes, and a model that invents detail can redraw a letter it misread as a different one. On a product label or a price list, either result makes the image unusable. Wonder 4 keeps the text the source shows: legible copy comes back with clean letter edges and the same spelling, and the lines and boxes around it stay straight.
The copy block on the box front is where it shows. At 100% the source lines are readable but smeared, and the upscale turns them into printed type:


"Daily Barrier Cream" and "Ceramides + Niacinamide" come back letter for letter, with the thin serifs of the brand name rebuilt. The compression halo around each stroke is gone.
The request is the same one any upscale uses, a source in inputs.image and an upscaleFactor, described with the size limits in upscaling images.
Dashboards and screenshots
Product teams reuse screenshots in decks and help centers long after the original capture, and an old capture taken on a standard-density display looks soft on a high-density one. A factor of 3 brings this 920 px dashboard to the width a full-bleed slot needs:


Interface graphics are mostly straight edges and flat color, and that is what the upscale keeps. The gridlines stay thin and level, and the axis numbers stay lined up with their ticks.
Tips
-
Start from the least compressed copy. The model rebuilds the letters from what the source shows, so the cleanest export you have gives it the most to work with.
-
Crop to the graphic first. If you only need one chart or one label, crop it out before upscaling so the output pixels go to the part you will use.
-
Read small print at 100%. A page-width preview makes almost any text look fine. Check the smallest line of copy at native size before shipping.
-
Fix copy in the source first. Wonder reproduces the text it is given, so correct a typo or an outdated price before the upscale rather than after.
