    Magnific: when it makes sense.

    Magnific makes sense for high-end creative upscaling; for faithful, occasional enlargement, a simpler upscaler suffices.

    Keep if

    You want to upscale images while keeping/inventing detail.. You work with high-resolution visuals.

    Challenge if

    A basic free upscaler is enough.. You want strict fidelity to the original (no invented detail).
