# Output inspection: Choosing an Upscale Resolution

Select an output size that matches the delivery platform instead of enlarging beyond practical detail. Review the result at its intended size and inspect details that previews can hide.

## Practical review sequence

1. Preserve the original input and note its important limitations.
2. Apply the smallest change that addresses the current task.
3. Compare the result with the source at the intended display size.
4. Record settings and uncertainty before the result is reused.

This public workflow document covers one bounded quality-control task. It is intended as a repeatable reference rather than a substitute for checking the source material and the final output directly.

## Summary
Choose an output resolution that matches the intended delivery platform to avoid unnecessary enlargement. Review the final result at its actual display size to ensure quality and verify details that smaller previews might obscure.

## Themes
- upscaling quality control
- output resolution strategy
- workflow best practices

## Key takeaways
- Select an output size based on the delivery platform rather than enlarging beyond practical detail.
- Preserve the original input and identify its limitations before beginning the upscaling process.
- Apply the smallest possible change required to complete the task.
- Compare the final result against the source material at the intended display size.
- Record all settings and uncertainties before reusing the output.

## Insights
- Matching output size to the delivery platform is more effective than maximizing resolution beyond visible detail.
- Previews often obscure critical artifacts that only become apparent when viewing the output at its final intended size.
- The workflow emphasizes documentation of settings and uncertainty to ensure reproducibility for future tasks.

## Open questions / gaps
- What specific criteria define practical detail versus unnecessary enlargement?
- How should one quantify or document uncertainty during the upscaling process?
