I have returned after spending way too much money in japan, and seems like not a moment too late, since the LAX and Euge dropped the v_pred model today. Still have to test base noob, but can't help myself in testing this one first.
So far, without specialized upscalers, solid color backgrounds still haven't been perfectly white or black, though flat white images with a bit of noise are possible finally (

Also, a nice bonus is that Illust Loras seem to work well (I almost feel they are better than on base) on Noob, at least my cecilia one does. Decided to test her on this request

Another thing I feel helps for illustrious is to use the upscaler multiple times with a low denoise step inbetween.
