Adding or replacing the upscaler

[ThePeacemaker82]

Wondering if it's possible to add a different upscaler, specifically Remacri. Or alternatively does anyone is willing to help guiding me on how to replace the original one with Remacri?

Thanks!

I was about to say something to this effect. Someone did some nice comparisons. Here's what they had to say:

All the images were upscaled 4x using Chainner and corresponding models. Beware: These opinions are strictly mine, you have yours. Below are the images and the models to compare which one you like the most. Hope this was helpful!

• Lion
• Christmas Village
• Porsche GT3RS
• Futuristic Ancient City
• Arcane Paladin
• Gold Queen
• Cybercity
• Arcane Soldier

In terms of overall quality these are my ratings:

1. Remacri
2. NKMDsiax
3. NKMDsuper
4. SwinIR
5. ESRGAN
6. UltraSharp
7. CountryRoads

yeah @barryanders, that's exactly how I discovered that upscaler too, never heard of it and been surprised by the results emerged on that stable diffusion thread. Hope it could be integrated in DiffusionBee!

Is there any road-map or something actionable that we can research, study or implement on?

I would love to see batch upscaling even upscaling directly of Gifs, and I'd LOVE to see Remacri. https://huggingface.co/utnah/LDSR/blob/main/4x_foolhardy_Remacri.pth

is it possible to add the pth files or do we need to use param and .bin, noticed a great repository openmodeldb, some great options there in small form factor https://openmodeldb.info/models/4x-UltraSharp
