Thanks again

You said before that you aren't using a neural network to upscale the masking layer, so are you using interpolation to upscale it? If so, which interpolation model? I'm using GIMP, so I may not have the same interpolation models; all of them produce poor results for upscaling the anti-aliased masking layer. I've even tried using AA, then upscaling 150%, running AA again, upscaling 150%, running AA again, . . . until I reach the target resolution, but it just looks bad.I antialias the image, followed by upscaling to create the mask, at the end I apply a threshold effect of 127 to make the mask binary.
Depending on what operating system you're on, you should be able to search the parent folder that holds all of the subfolders for "*.png". This fuzzy search should return all the images which you could cut and paste into one consolidated folder. The problem with this is that you'll probably have multiple images with the same name... I don't think I have all the original images consolidated with the proper name formatting at the moment. It would take a little while for me to compile. I might could write a batch script to find the archive number from the folder name, then prepend the file name of each image in each folder, then pull them all out into one master folder.BTW, could someone put together an archive with all the images that need masks in the same folder? Currently I have them in subfolders, so I can't just create a single batch to run through them all.
I use SmartSize, which to my understanding uses Bicubic when upscaling and Bilinear when downscaling. I only upscale at integer sizes (actually that's a slight lie with the latest mask, as I omitted 2 pixels on each axis for the last upscale, which I then pad back to the intended size)MasonFace wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2019 2:48 pm You said before that you aren't using a neural network to upscale the masking layer, so are you using interpolation to upscale it?
