    It's a workflow to upscale image several times, gradually changing scale and parameters.

    Versions

    Short version uses a special node from Impact pack.

    Older versions are not better or worse, but they are long and expanded. They provide more control, allowing to tune intermediate steps. They requre WAS Node Suite.

    Installation and dependencies

    1. Install Impact pack custom nodes (should be a newest possible version, as for 12.02.2024);

    2. (optional) Install SD Prompt Reader custom node;

    3. Download and open this workflow;

    Recommended resources

    Complete list of all resources chosen in nodes across versions:

    Well, I can't be more straightforward than error text already is.

    I have same issue. Connected output from 'VAE Decode' above to 'pixels' in the 'Iterative Upscale (image)' item but still get error despite being connected.

    It seems that some of the nodes are on bypass, you need to right click the node and bypass to toggle it back on or reload
