Aiarty Image Enhancer is an intelligent image enhancement and upscaling software designed specifically for macOS. Leveraging advanced artificial intelligence models, it can boost image resolution, repair blurriness and noise, optimize colors and details with a single click, and supports batch processing, making it a powerful tool for photographers, designers, and content creators working with digital images.

I. Detailed Explanation of the Core Interface and Workspace

After launching the software, you will see a clean and intuitive single-window interface, mainly divided into four functional areas:

Top Toolbar: Contains core action buttons such as “Add Images,” “Start Processing,” “Save,” and “Preferences.”
Left Preview and Comparison Panel: By default, it displays the original image and the AI-processed result in a “side-by-side comparison” mode. You can use the slider above to view differences in local details in real time, or switch to “Single View” mode.
Right Parameter Settings Panel: This is the core control area of the software, where all AI models and enhancement options are adjusted.
- AI Model Selection: The dropdown menu provides specialized models such as “General Denoise & Upscale,” “Portrait Optimization,” and “Anime/Illustration Enhancement.”
- Upscale Factor: Use the slider or dropdown to select, typically supporting intelligent upscaling at 2x, 4x, 6x, or even higher multipliers.
- Enhancement Options: Includes checkboxes for “Remove Noise,” “Enhance Details,” “Color Recovery,” etc., which can be checked based on the image type.
- Target Size & Format: Displays the estimated size of the output image and allows you to select the output format (e.g., JPG, PNG, WebP).
Bottom Batch Processing Queue: When multiple images are added, all pending tasks are displayed here in a list format, where you can sort, delete, or apply uniform settings.

II. Complete Workflow: From Import to Export

Step 1: Create/Open a Project (Import Images)

Method 1: Drag & Drop Import
Simply drag image files or folders from Finder to the preview area on the left side of the main window or the queue area at the bottom.

Method 2: Button Import
Click the + Add Images or Add Folder button in the top toolbar, and select files in the pop-up dialog.

Shortcut: Command (⌘) + O quickly opens the file selection dialog.

Step 2: Configure Enhancement Parameters

In the “Select AI Model” drop-down menu on the right panel, choose the most suitable model based on the image content.
- General Model: Suitable for most scenarios such as landscapes and architecture.
- Portrait Model: Optimizes skin texture, hair, and facial features, and can intelligently repair blurry portraits.
- Anime Model: Designed specifically for anime-style images, it maintains smooth lines and reduces color banding.
Adjust the “Upscale Factor” slider. The software will display the output resolution in real time. It is recommended to choose a high factor carefully based on the quality of the original image.
Check the enhancement options you need. For example, for old photos, you can check both “Remove Noise” and “Color Recovery.”

Tip: After adjusting the parameters, the software usually generates a preview quickly. Check the comparison view on the left, and once you are satisfied, proceed with the final processing.

Step 3: Run Processing

After confirming that the parameter settings are correct, click the eye-catching “Start Processing” button in the center of the top toolbar.

For a single image, processing will begin immediately.
For a batch queue, the software will automatically process all images in order.

During processing, the progress bar will show the current status. You can check the progress of each task in the queue at the bottom.

Shortcut: Command (⌘) + R can directly start processing the currently selected image.

Step 4: Save and Export Results

After processing is complete:

Carefully check the enhanced result in the preview area on the left.
Click the “Save” button in the top toolbar, or the “Save” button at the bottom of the right panel.
In the save dialog that appears, choose the output directory and file name, and select the output format from the “Format” drop-down list (e.g., PNG, JPG, and quality settings).
Click “Save” to complete the export.

Batch Save: After processing all images, you can click the “Save All” button to choose the same output folder for all results.

Shortcuts: Command (⌘) + S saves the current image; Command (⌘) + Shift + S quickly opens the “Save As” dialog.

III. Advanced Tips for Common Features

Local comparison viewing: In the side-by-side comparison view, hover the mouse over the image and a circular magnifier will appear, allowing precise comparison of detail differences at the same position.
Batch uniform settings: In the bottom queue, hold the Command (⌘) key to select multiple images, then adjust parameters in the right panel; these settings will be applied to all selected images at once.
Custom output dimensions: In addition to scaling by multiples, some versions allow you to directly enter the target width and height in the right panel (with the aspect ratio lock enabled) to achieve precise dimension output.
Quick preview image switching: In the preview area, use the left and right arrow keys on your keyboard to quickly switch between different images in the queue without needing to click with the mouse.
Using “Undo” and “Reset”: If you are not satisfied with parameter adjustments, you can use Command (⌘) + Z to undo the previous parameter change, or click the “Reset” button in the lower right corner of the parameter panel to restore the default settings.

IV. Common Problems and Solutions

Problem Symptom	Possible Cause	Solution
Processing speed is very slow	1. The original image resolution is too high. 2. An excessively high magnification factor was selected. 3. Too many images are being processed at the same time.	1. Try appropriately reducing the original image size before processing. 2. Upscale in steps, for example first 2x, then upscale the result by another 2x. 3. Check in “Preferences” whether GPU acceleration (Metal) is enabled.
Output looks overly sharpened or distorted	1. The “Enhance Details” intensity is too high. 2. The AI model selection is inappropriate.	1. Try unchecking “Enhance Details,” or switch to a more conservative model. 2. For portraits, be sure to use the “Portrait Model,” which handles skin more naturally.
“Insufficient disk space” prompt when saving	AI-upscaled image files may increase dramatically in size, especially when saving in PNG format.	1. Free up disk space. 2. Change the output format to JPG and adjust the compression quality appropriately. 3. Consider reducing the output magnification factor.
The software won’t open or crashes	1. The software is incompatible with the current macOS version. 2. The software file is corrupted.	1. Visit the official website to check the supported system versions. 2. Try restarting your Mac, or re-download the software.
