# Quickstart

Overview the Lupa interface is designed to make image upscaling and enhancement simple and intuitive. Below you can find a quick overview of each section of the workspace:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### **Mode selection**

Here you can choose between two main operations:

* **Upscale** – improves the resolution, clarity, and detail of your image while preserving its original look.
* **Realistic** – a **style transfer** mode that applies realistic textures and lighting to your image, generating a new stylized result.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### **Image upload area**

Drag and drop your image here or click the box to upload a **PNG or JPG** file.\
Once uploaded, you’ll see the image appear in the preview area on the right.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### **Mode and model selection**

This section allows you to switch between two working modes:

* **Creative** – includes several models and presets:

  * **Standard** – a versatile model that works extremely well for **realistic portraits** and general photography.
  * **Flux** – a more advanced model that gives you **fine control** over the visual style through presets.
  * **Classic** – ideal for **textures, materials, and artistic renderings**, while still performing well on most images.

  <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="success" class="hint hint-success"><p>We highly recommend experimenting with all three models to find the one that fits your image best.</p></div>
* **Precision** – a single, specialized mode that focuses purely on **faithful resolution enhancement**, with minimal changes to style or tone.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### **Presets and adjustments**

Each mode includes several **presets** and fine-tuning options such as *Creativity level* and *Resolution*.\
You can adjust these sliders to personalize how your upscale behaves.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### **Upscale button**

Once your image is uploaded and your model is selected, simply press the **Upscale** button to start the process.\
Lupa will automatically process your image and display the result.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### **Before & After view**

This central area shows a **real-time comparison** between your original (left) and enhanced (right) image.\
You can drag the divider to see the difference in detail.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### **Summary of current settings**

At the top-right, you can see a **summary** of the options you’ve used — such as mode, model, resolution multiplier, and creativity level.\
This helps you keep track of your active configuration while testing variations.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### **Image actions**

Once your upscale is complete, you can use these buttons to:

* **Download** your image
* **Copy** it to clipboard
* **Delete** it from the workspace
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}
