Who it is forA content creator or small shop owner who needs a larger, consistently colored image for a website, print or social post.

The problemPlain resizing makes images blurry, and matching a color look across several images is slow in general-purpose editors.

The outcomeA larger image with an AI upscaler and a chosen color look, saved from Kokon.

What you need first

  • Windows 10 64-bit or later, an Apple M1 or newer Mac on macOS 15 or later, or x86-64 Linux
  • A graphics card with 12 GB VRAM or more (NVIDIA recommended), or an Apple Silicon Mac with 16 GB unified memory or more
  • 15 GB of free disk space (25 GB recommended) and about 12 GB of model downloads on first run
  • A photo to edit, or a sentence describing the image to create

Steps

  1. Create or edit an image in Kokon, as described in the Install section.
  2. Open the result and choose Upscale, then pick 2x, 4K, the source size or a custom width.
  3. Open the color-grade option and pick one of the eight built-in looks, or load your own .cube file.
  4. Adjust the LUT intensity with the live preview.
  5. Save the result from Kokon.

Prompt for your agent

Using the Kokon app, upscale the image at <image path> to <target width> pixels wide and apply the color look <LUT name or .cube path>. Expected output: a saved image file at <output path>. Verify that the output width equals the target width.

Caveat. The upscaler model is listed in the README as part of the PC presets, so Mac users should confirm the upscaler is installed before relying on this step.
