Here are some tests with SuperRes using these different downscalers
SuperRes(Passes=2, Strength=.43) with NNEDI3(nns=4) as a prescaler

Current (1/3, 1/3)


-1,0


-.6,0


These clearly make the image softer. Let's try with increased Strength.

-.6,0, Strength=1


My observation: -1,0 is too sort. -6.0 looks more natural than 1/3,1/3 but requires increased strength. It removes some weird darker areas of trees that happen with 1/3,1/3.

Overall, -6,0 with Strength=1 still looks a bit softer but it also looks more natural. I like that one.

What about an ultra-sharp version of it with Passes=3 and Strength=1? It looks pretty decent!


It's worth nothing that the colors are slightly different, especially with the greens. Which one is the most accurate?

The greens are already darker than the NNEDI3 version, so -6,0 is more accurate on the colors.
