      File sizes are going to be huge! 2K is already a lot to upload, couldn’t imagine 16K right now.

        Just expend some more compute time on doing compression and we’ll get those filesize numbers to a workable level.

        Okay, that last one took 17 minutes to upscale on my GPU, so I’m not going further. But I’m using SD Ultimate Upscale, which is tile-based, so in theory that could be farmed out over a collection of GPUs and parallelized. Just need more compute hardware.

        But as to filesize, that’s under 50kiB.
