PHOTO UPSCALE/ Realistic Skin Texture/NOT PLASTIC

Detailed Introduction

The  Realistic Skin Texture workflow is a one-click ComfyUI pipeline that turns *any* portrait into a hyper-realistic, studio-grade close-up.  

Built around the.  SUPIR diffusion framework and two purpose-trained skin-detail upscale models, it reconstructs authentic pore-level texture, soft subsurface scatter and natural oil sheen while keeping the original identity intact.

Key Features  

🧠 SUPIR-powered core – state-of-the-art photo-restoration that invents  plausible micro-detail instead of smearing.  

🔍 Dual up-scale stack  – 4× FFHQ-DAT enlarges without aliasing, 1× ITF-SkinDiffusion adds pore-, wrinkle- and specular-refinement in a second pass.  

🎚️ Automatic color-match – final result is re-aligned to the input hue/saturation so skin tones stay true.  

⚡ Tiled VAE – process 4 k portraits on <10 GB VRAM; finish in ~90 s on RTX 3060.  

👁️ Optional Face-Parsing color tweak  – adds 5 % brightness / 3 % saturation to facial region only for extra pop (one slider).  

🖼️ Side-by-side comparer – instantly A/B the before/after with an interactive slide view.

Why It’s Special  

- No manual masking – face, neck, ears and hands are handled automatically.  

- No Photoshop layer blending – the pipeline does *reconstruction*, not overlay, so texture is unique to each photo.  

- Works on low-res selfies, AI-generated faces or old scanned prints – just drop the image and queue.  

- All models are FP8 or Lite versions → first-time download is < 6 GB; afterwards runs are 100 % local.

Perfect for:  

- Only-Fans / Patreon creators who want DSLR skin without a camera upgrade  

- Vintage family-photo restoration that needs believable pores, not plastic smoothness  

- Game studios that need 4 k texture maps from 1 k scans  

- Anyone who hates the “Instagram blur” and wants real skin back
