HAT VS ultimate-upscale-for-automatic1111

Wrote more here but in my experience the free model HAT (Real_HAT_GAN_SRx4.pth) is the best overall, in terms of faithful reconstruction of the ground truth while also removing noise, compression artifacts, ringing, clipped dynamic range, etc. It maybe smooths out the fine details a bit too much but adding some noise after upscaling helps.

I'd like to add https://github.com/XPixelGroup/HAT but obviously dropping the pth into a folder isn't going to do it. Is it possible to make it work or have to wait for AUTOMATIC1111 to hopefully add it in?

So I have this problem while trying to use "Ultimate Upscale for automatic1111" plugin in A1111, but I cannot find any information about it on any github issue, reddit post or other help platforms.

If you don't already have it, install the Ultimate SD Upscale script. It's in the Automatic1111 available extensions list, or you can install it from the URL. It gives you the option to choose from whatever upscalers you have installed.

Basically you'd select the "tile" Controlnet (both preprocessor and Controlnet model), and then you'd use either tiled diffusion or ultimate SD upscaler to create a tile upscale.

These were made over multiple iterations, but the workflow basically was - Generate seed image using either lyriel, edge of realism, absolute reality, rpgv4 - One I get an actual animal, use in control net reference_only, regenerate with photography prompt - Upscale with ultimate scale https://github.com/Coyote-A/ultimate-upscale-for-automatic1111
