something odd with my hal happened when i scaled up a flat skin picture

i used the full body modified woman haptek and used a program i download a free open source program called upscayl .
AMAZING! Free High-Quality Upscaling with Upscayl

anyway i upscaled a flat skin to  upscayl14xrealesrganx4fast.jpg

does the haptek flatskin  .jpg  have a limit to use in hapteck?? because that is the only thing i can figure i checked a old flatskin and the new one i upscaled to better quality . the old one was . size 338 KB  size on disk 340 KB
on the upscaled of the same picture it is now size 30.9 MB size on disk is now 30.9 MB
.what happens is when i drag the old flat skin on haptek it works just fine . but when i drag the upscayl flat skin into hals control box and it either swirls  or freezes then suddenly just closes.

my question does hal have a limit of the jpg. size that can be placed into the control box or loaded normally.  and if so what is the limit.  and another question is , is there a way we can increase the size of the jpg allowance within hal ? to be able to scale up the image to better detail?? without messing up hal?

okay i found out i had the upscale to high obviously for a flat file for hal , i tried it at 4 times on th setting and the skin worked okay . so it also has to do with hal having a jpg limitation . see picture below on upscayl info.
here is angela after being upscayled x4.

i did some testing through all the different settings and found out that only the first two general picture settings work up to x4 , for whatever reason why , when i tried all other settings even down to x2 . they would all just come out black on the picture and no good.   

something else odd i found out was you can load the upscaled skin on the full body okay but if you try to put on different hair etc. hal will freeze and stop (and shut down) you can and must use acc. removal to remove any existing long hair . then put on what hair you choose and eye lashes etc.  "then load the upscaled skin then hal will keep working with things loaded that way. that's the only way i could keep hal working okay. otherwise the other way hal would just shut off completely.

Interesting and nice work on that character's face. That program makes quite a difference.

Art:
I tried it on a typical flatface model. Then, I did a side-by-side comparison and the results were pretty impressive!
Left is Original - Right is UpScaled image

Next, I opened a .htr and dropped the flatface file onto it. The results were nicer, more crisp and void of all the facial fuzz and noisy-looking interference dots and smudges that were a part of the original.

This is the typical .htr head with the UpScale image dropped onto it.


There's lots of room to experiment.

Good find, Lightspeed!
