Beta Upscale is a new feature within Midjourney that allows users to increase the size of their images beyond the standard maximum. The video mentions that this feature enables images to be upscaled to 2048x2048 pixels, although it may result in a loss of clarity or detail.

๐Ÿ’กClarity

Clarity, in the context of digital images, refers to the sharpness and detail of the image. The video script discusses a trade-off between image size and clarity, where increasing the size through beta upscale may lead to a loss of some image textures and details.

๐Ÿ’กAspect Ratio

Aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between the width and the height of an image. The video explains how users can manipulate the aspect ratio of their images using the 'ar' parameter in Midjourney, which can result in landscape or portrait-oriented images.

๐Ÿ’กParameter

In the context of the video, a parameter is a specific setting or option that can be adjusted within a software program, such as Midjourney, to control the output or behavior of the software. The 'ar' parameter is used to change the aspect ratio of an image.

๐Ÿ’กResolution

Resolution is a measure of the amount of detail an image can show, typically determined by the number of pixels in the image. The video emphasizes the importance of achieving the highest possible resolution for an image when using Midjourney, which can be done by opening the image in full screen and downloading the highest resolution available.

๐Ÿ’กFile Size

File size refers to the amount of digital storage an image file occupies. The video discusses the maximum file size that can be created within Midjourney, noting that while the instruction manual states a limit of three megabytes, it is possible to create larger files, up to five megabytes.

๐Ÿ’กLet's Enhance.io

Let's Enhance.io is an online service mentioned in the video that uses AI to upscale images without losing quality. The service is highlighted as a useful tool for increasing the size of images for high-resolution applications, such as printing or high-definition wallpapers.

๐Ÿ’กAI (Artificial Intelligence)

AI, or Artificial Intelligence, is the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think like humans and mimic their actions. In the context of the video, AI is used by the Let's Enhance.io service to upscale images, improving their detail and clarity without quality loss.
