Thread to discuss upscales, mainly with ESRGAN as that is the best tool for the job.All my upscales can be found here:https://mega.nz/folder/w8YE0agY#VRlb8QavyCIhU-ujHxc2gQIt shows everything that I've upscaled, whether it contains subs, how many episodes, links to download from, image previews, upscale status and changelog.All preview images are just run through mozjpeg at quality 90 which is nearly identical to original. The original PNG preview images are on telegram.Torrent version:https://mega.nz/folder/6I131Y4T#M6pHMtChiVxC4_0kwIhDKAKeep in mind that torrent is an afterthought, downloading is easier with Telegram.ESRGAN can either be used through my setup which makes it insanely easy for the average user:https://mega.nz/folder/o9hwXRDT#5MolBcQ6hvxz7adS8Opb0A (Recently updated to 5.2, making it near fully automatic)Or it can be downloaded from the official github:https://github.com/xinntao/Real-ESRGANThough using the github version means you'll have to mess with CMD and manually process each episode.So if you don't want that, use my setup above.Either can be used for still images too, not just videos. Like if you want to upscale art.It can also be used for 3D stuff, even heavily compressed twitter garbage: https://imgsli.com/MTE0NDYzFeel free to ask for more comparison samples.Links+Info to other random helpful tools, including leaked version of latest FlowFrames:https://mega.nz/file/h0w0EQaJ#yg63GPVFT5rL0yQfSHYEOmDMNuMYS46cnAUcaQgxaisMost people know me as "Upscale Anon", so if you have any requests or need any help, simply ask for Upscale Anon.I may not always respond to requests, but I do consider them.And please don't be a greedy fucker who requests like 5-20 series. It's going to make it less likely that I do your request.Feel free to talk about other AI stuff or other helpful tools.If you've got something really good, I might just include it in the tool list.Previous thread: >>7617512

New upscale batch being uploaded now. Enjoy
>>7965266Hey Upscale Anon, you think you can do Onmyouji Youen Emaki?
Thanks anon for the upscales
Thanks for the upscales anon, could you consider doing Houkago 2 Sayuri please?
>>7965285Requesting “Kotowarenai Haha” , “No waifu no life” , “ojisan de umeru ana”, and “Isekai kita no de suke skill de zenryoku… ep 3+4” on pixel/ torr. Thanks.
Very epic lol. Failed on the very last file.A bunch of stuff didn't even upload in the right order. Man I love telegramSpreadsheet and changelog has been updated, same link as before: https://mega.nz/folder/w8YE0agY#VRlb8QavyCIhU-ujHxc2gQHere's a pixeldrain of the batch that I just uploaded. Grab them before some faggot takes it down: https://pixeldrain com/l/b3GbXWj3I'll maybe update torrents later>>7968071Tagging you so you hopefully see it before it goes down.
>>7968146Thanks
Hi UpscaleAnon, i really admire your work. i have gone through your detailed guide of setup and done everything according to it. But i wasn't able to run the ESGRAN bat file. I don't know how to use that because am not much of a developer. i tried to run the files in cmd and powershell but it throws me an error everytime. Can you please tell how can i use it? i just want to upscale some music videos and random stuff...! It would be a huge help if you could tell me how to use the program. Thank you
>>7971473You just put the video files in the same folder as the bat file and then run the bat file.Make sure you're on Windows. The script does not work with Linux or Mac I believe.>but it throws me an error everytimeIt really helps if you show the error it throws.
>>7972966Different anon, but also encountering an error with the split script.Seems like an error related to the audio not being extracted and present and an error related to the video filename being wrong.The normal script works flawlessly, and I've had great results with it. Thanks!
>>7965273Oh damn.I wonder how well Fairy Tail would benefit from this.
>>7973844Strange. I need to eventually do something about the split script, as it sometimes does not accurately split video, resulting in footage loss.As for audio, it extracts at the very end, which makes some sense that it fails, if it can't even grab the video.No idea why video wouldn't work though if it works with the normal script.Is the file in mkv or mp4 format? I might have fucked up and have it only work with mkv format.
>>7974668Ah, yea, you're right.I see an error message that's looking for an mkv file when my input is mp4.Confirming that fixing line 1143 in the script fixes the issue.Thanks for the help!
Hey upscale anon can you upscale enbi please
>>7975368>enbi
>>7965266Interesting thread Upscale Anon
How does one request access to the TG?
>>7987495There's an invite link literally at the very top of spreadsheet. The first thing you see, with gigantic text lol
So is this upscale ai able to spit out uncensored versions?
>>7988851No, that's a different AI program. Upscale increases resolution and enhances clarity a bit.What you're looking for is decensor AI. But keep in mind that it's quite garbage in its current state.
>>7988851You could train an ESRGAN model to do this, but it wouldn't produce good results compared to generative AI. You could make a paired dataset of censored low resolution images with an uncensored high resolution equivalent and train a model specifically for this. The best way to do this would be to add mosaic to uncensored art for consistency. You could theoretically do this with a 2x - 4x model as well, but a 1x specifically for decensoring followed by a regular upscale would be better since focused models always produce better results.
