Hello Selur,
I attached a couple of examples where after having resized a frame with realesr-general is:
a) applied a weighted merge (weight: 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7) with a frame resized with "lanczos"
b) applied BlindDeHalo3 with strength 80, 100, 120
In my opinion the method a) provides better overall results (with my eyes). I don't see an easy way to replace the artifacts introduced using realesr-general by applying a DeHalo or Blur filter after the resize, this because the image is already damaged and the only way to reduce the effect is to replace part of it with a non damaged image.
