You could add some sharpening or even try CodeFormer(on some sources CodeFormer will perform well, on others not; CodeFormer requires the torchAddon) or maybe both.


If content seems too flat after denoising, try adding some grain.


You could even use some machine learning based upscaler:

(side note: Hybrid currently does not allow switching the resizer per scene and when using machine learning based resizers/filters make sure to check different scene, since their effects can vary a lot depending on the scene/source )

There is ton if stuff you can do, but it will require computational power, tweaking to find good value and time.
=> Happy tweaking and finding the best settings for your preferences.

Ps.: if you got the time and motivation, you can adjust settings per scene.
