# Low Resolution 2

### Model Overview

**Low Resolution 2** is optimized for images that start with limited detail, heavy compression, or small dimensions. It focuses on intelligent reconstruction to recover usable detail from challenging sources without modifying the source characteristics.

### Key Capabilities

* Designed for low-resolution and compressed images
* Recovers usable detail from difficult inputs
* Improves clarity while avoiding exaggerated artifacts

### Getting Started

**Endpoint**

* <https://api.topazlabs.com/image/v1/enhance/async>
  * `model` — `"Low Resolution V2"`

<details>

<summary><strong>Endpoint-Specific Parameters</strong></summary>

* `face_enhancement` — boolean
  * Leverages our face recovery model to enhance faces.
* `face_enhancement_strength` — decimal between 0 and 1 *(required if `face_enhancement=true`)*
  * Sets the strength of the face recovery.
* `face_enhancement_creativity` — decimal between 0 and 1 *(required if `face_enhancement=true`)*
  * Choose realistic or creative face recovery.
* `subject_detection` — `"foreground"`, `"background"`, or `"all"`
  * Choose where enhancements are applied.
* `sharpen` — decimal between 0 and 1
  * Slightly sharpens the image.
* `denoise` — decimal between 0 and 1
  * Reduces noise in the image.
* `fix_compression` — decimal between 0 and 1
  * Reduces compression artifacts to improve details.
* `strength` — decimal between 0.01 and 1
  * Controls model strength. Too high of a result can make results look unrealistic.

These parameters should be appended as key-value fields in the form-data request bodies (i.e. alongside the `model`, `output_height`, and `face_enhancement` etc. fields). Any parameters not explicitly provided are **automatically** configured by our auto-parameter model. Extra parameters provided that are not supported are ignored.
