upscayl VS Real-ESRGAN

Windows has caused us a lot of issues with Upscayl (https://upscayl.org).

I personally do not use Windows but most of our errors are reported by Windows users where sometimes path parsing is a problem or the drivers mess up vulkan configuration.

> I guess yesterday's science fiction is now our reality.

That's actually what's written on https://upscayl.org, "From Science Fiction to Reality" haha

that website? No, I just used upscayl with the Digital Art preset

Upscayl, I've used it before, it's great

You can use Upscayl on pc and SuperImage on android to enhance your image so you don't have to find the hd version, both the applications uses you device's gpu to enhance your image.

might as well just run upscayl locally then. https://github.com/upscayl/upscayl

Instead of finding images that are already FullHD, I've found an open source software for image upscaling which seems to work very well with digital art/styles similar to something like Studio Ghibli, which is the style as was going for, so works great for me!

Considering a 4080RTX for AI tools performance in the future, noticed a big performance gap in upscayl, while using a rtx card vs non rtx https://github.com/upscayl/upscayl

Here is what I used: https://github.com/upscayl/upscayl

It's not exactly what you're after, as it's anime specific and you need to process the video yourself (eg disassemble to frames, run the upscaler, then assemble back to a movie file), but Real-ESRGAN is really good:

It's pretty brilliant for cleaning up very old, low resolution anime.

Just a note you can run upscaling on your home desktop with Real-ESRGAN:

Maybe Real-ESRGAN is a good fit? Even tho it's a couple of years old

I'm glad you noticed! I upscaled the icon from the wiki using Real-ESRGAN's 4xplus anime model, then photoshopped out the text. Worked far better than waifu2x.

A: Try using High-res Fix and R-ESRGAN 4x+ Anime6B as upscaler

Maybe try this one https://github.com/xinntao/Real-ESRGAN it may work even better.

Screenshotted from the official music video, upscaled to 4k using a state of the art ML model.

Do you happen to remember which chapter has that "scene"? You could also try to enhance it yourself, I did it using Real-ESRGAN, which is really easy to use.
