Manga109Attempt is slightly blurry, but performs well as a general upscaler.

Falcon Fanart tries to improve upon it with the goal of removing checkerboard patterns / and dithering. It has oil colour based shading with sharp lines.

The Comic Book model was trained using stills from the film spiderman into the spiderverse, has a comic book crosshatch shading effect to the images. Sample

The ad_test_tf model was designed for upscaling American Dad NTSC DVD frames (originally at 480p) to match the quality and style of Netflix’s equivalent 1080p WEB-DL, which includes a slight desaturation of colors.

De-Toon, is a model that does the opposite of tooning an image. It takes toon style shading and detail, and attempts to make it realistic. Its very sensitive, and can be used on small sprites, to large images. Also included is a alt version, which is less sharp.

Unholy02 and Unholy03 were created by interpolating a whole bunch of models about 30 times, mainly with the Dinjerr’s own WaifuGAN model and RRDB_esrgan. It’s intended for upscaling CG-painted anime images with light outlines and produces sharper, cleaner, and more aggressive results than manga109, but may produce unnecessary outlines or details when faced with noise, so be wary of jpegs.

WaifuGAN v3 is Dinjerr’s third attempt at training from a mostly anime dataset sourced from image boards and is intended for upscaling CG-painted anime with variable outlines. Only PNGs were used, mainly with brush strokes and gradients. Texturised images avoided as much as possible. If too generative, tone down by interpolating with a softer model.

Lady0101 was trained on digital paintings of ladies (mostly). Strong anti-staircasing, mediocre undithering and slight blending. It is meant to be used to upscale pixel art/paintings and transform it into digital painting style.

Upscaling - Realistic (photos, prerendered 3D, etc)

Box was meant to be an improvement on the RRDB_ESRGAN_x4 model (comparison). It’s also trained on photos, but with a much larger dataset which was downscaled with linear interpolation (box filter) instead of bicubic.

The Ground model was trained on various pictures of stones, dirt and grass using Google’s image search.

The Misc model is trained on various pictures shoot by myself, including bricks, stone, dirt, grass, plants, wook, bark, metal and a few others.

Upscaling - Characters and Faces

Face Twittman 4 Face Upscaling 250K 10 128 967 3.765K Custom (Faces) 4xESRGAN

Trixie was made to bring balance to the force… Also to upscale character textures for star wars games, including the heroes, rebels, sith and imperial. Plus a few main aliens…Why called trixie? Because jar jars big adventure would be too long of a name…This also provides good upscale for face textures for general purpose as well as basic star wars textures.

The Face Focus modes was designed for slightly out of focus / blurred images of faces. It is aimed at faces / hair, but it can help to improve other out of focused images too as always just try it.

Rebout LyonHrt 4 Character Sprites 325K 8 128 106 23.808K Custom prepared sprites from kof 94 rebout Detoon

Fatality is meant to be used for upscaling medium resolution Sprites, dithered or undithered, it can also upscale manga/anime and gameboy camera images.

Rebout is trained to give detail to character models, with faces and hands improved. Based on the snk game kof94 rebout, although best for snk style games, does work on a variety of sprites. Also included is a interpolated version that may provide a cleaner upscale for certain sprites.

The map model was trained on maps, old documents, papers and various styles of typefaces/fonts. Based on a dataset contributed by alsa. Sample

The Forest model is focused on trees, leaves, bark and stone can be used for double upscaling for even more detail. Sample

The Armory model was trained with modded textures form Skyrim, including Clothing, Armor and Weapons. (Leather, Canvas and Metal should all work - maybe too sharp so interpolate)

The wood model was trained for Skyrim by Laeris.

The Skyrim Diffuse models is supposed to be used with Skyrim’s diffuse textures. It is a bit too sharp so I recommend to interpolating with the RDDB_ESRGAN_x4 model or the mangaAttempt109 model, look in Deorder’s Skyrim Model Google Drive for an already interpolated version.

Fallout 4 weapons was trained using Fallout 4’s official hd armor/weapon textures but could be used on other weapon and armor textures.

The first one is based on the second one it was trained, with a higher learning rate and insane n_workers and batch_size values. It is meant to replace the old Normal Map model from Deorder, but without adding BC1 compression to your normal maps.

The second one was trained on Skyrim’s Normal Maps, including compression artifacts, so it will have to be redone.

Models to remove compression artifacts.

BC1 (DXT1) compression is commonly used in dds textures, which are utilized in most PC games today, it allows to shrink the texture to 1/6 of the original size, reducing VRAM usage. There is also BC3 (DXT5) which uses BC1 compression for the color channels and leaves the alpha channel uncompressed, this one reduces the file size to 1/3 of the original. But this compression comes at a cost. The BC1 models are designed to reverse the damage done by the compression. This is a must if you want to upscale a dds file that uses either BC1 or BC3 compression. The free variant has more freedom when dealing with the images and should lead to better results. The restricted version only deals with perfect images compressed once (ideal case) so will perform worse in any other scenario, but it tries to preserve the original colors more. You can interpolate between restricted and unrestricted if you want.

JPG gets compressed with a Quality Percentage between 0 and 100. So depending on how bad your JPEGs are compressed, choose the model of your choice. You can use ImageMagick to guess the Quality percentage, but keep in mind that it might be wrong, since the image might have been re-saved.

The Cinepak model removes movie compressions artifacts from older video compression methods like Cinepak, msvideo1 and Roq.

Dithering is an older compression method, where the amount of colors gets reduced, if your image has few colors or banding try the De-Dither model.

Ordered dithering is a less common form of dithering that results in distinctive checkerboard/crosshatch patterns, which are misinterpreted as texture by models not trained on it. It’s often used on GIFs because the pattern is stable between frames. For the 4x model, start with the ESRGAN model, and interpolate with the PSNR model if the result is too sharp.

The De-Sharpen model was made for rare particular cases when the image was destroyed by applying noise, i.e. game textures or any badly exported photos. If your image does not have any over-sharpening, it won’t hurt them, leaving as is. In theory, this model knows when to activate and when to skip, also can successfully remove artifacts if only some parts of the image are over-sharpened, for example in image consisting of several combined images, 1 of them with sharpen noise. It is made to remove sharpen noise, particularly made with Photoshop “sharpen” or “sharpen more” filters OR ImageMagick’s -sharpen directive with several varying parameters of Radius and Sigma, from subtle 0.3x0.5 to something extreme like 8x2, somewhere about that.

AntiAliasing is for smoothing jagged edges in images and textures.
