Real-ESRGAN-ncnn-vulkan VS Waifu2x-Extension-GUI

Don't even need topaz, there's plenty of free upscale models check the openmodeldb, and you have reve which is based on Real-ESRGAN-ncnn-vulkan.

Real-ESRGAN/GFPGAN https://github.com/xinntao/Real-ESRGAN (Real-ESRAN - Upscale images, facial restoration with GFPGAN setting) https://github.com/TencentARC/GFPGAN (GFPGAN - Facial restoration and Upscale) -------MATTE AND COMPOSITE--------

If you mean by free software, sure there are options. But you'll spend a lot of time to do that. You can try https://github.com/xinntao/Real-ESRGAN or similar tools

I’m actually on a Mac using the ncnn Vulkan binaries for Real ESRGAN. It’s not all that flexible but it’s pretty quick. There are other options but I have not looked into it.

I personally use real esrgan and I think it's great. it requires manual work tho but it's easy once you do it a few times

REAL-ESRGAN was used for upscaling (using waifu2x-extension GUI) and can be found here.

The software in question is on Github called Waifu2x-Extension-GUI https://github.com/AaronFeng753/Waifu2x-Extension-GUI

Waifu2x GUI

I used a program called Waifu2x-Extension-GUI. It’s fantastic for upscaling animation shows (and yes it supports video upscales too)! There are web-app versions out there with the same name, but the results I get from those are nowhere near as good. If anyone’s unable to download or figure it out, I’d be happy to upscale any images you want!

I heard topaz may be the best but you can try bsrt, video2x and waifu2x ext gui.

I do my upscaling with Waifu2x, specifically with this really well made GUI https://github.com/AaronFeng753/Waifu2x-Extension-GUI

4090 is very fast in this regard. It takes about 6 hours or so for a film that is 1.5 hours. The software is called Waifu2x Extension GUI by Aaron Feng. It's free to use, but you'll get a pop-up asking to donate. It gets constant updates, which is always a major plus. Here's the GitHub: https://github.com/AaronFeng753/Waifu2x-Extension-GUI I used the RealCugan AI Model since I found it yields the best results in terms of speed and quality. You can use RealESRGAN for Live works, but it will take significantly longer. Sidenote: You can use it on blurry pictures as well (Since videos are simply a series of frames/still images)
