This is my first model, so it's not perfect, but I wanted to see if I could train an upscaling model that didn't result in a lot of detail loss and deblurring like the current Compact upscaling models. I believe I accomplished this, but I was unable to reduce contrast shifting. The contrast shifting may cause skin tones to appear incorrect on bright frames, but it's not too bad overall! I'll list a few examples below; more can be found by clicking the Overview link on the Github release page.

Bubble AnimeScale Compact v1

2x_Bubble_AnimeScale_SwinIR_Small_v1 was trained to upscale anime frames faithfully without major contrast shifting compared to my compact model. Although much slower compared to my compact model, the results look significantly better! A few example upscales are listed below; more can be found by clicking the Overview link on the Github release page.

Bubble AnimeScale SwinIR Small v1

This is my first 2xcompact model, the main purpose of it is to upscale Dragon ball GT. for upscaling videos that have grain I would recommend denoising and dehaloing it before passing it to the model for temporal stability.

GT-evA

Interpolation between 4x-UltraSharp and 4x-TextSharp-v0.5. Works amazingly on anime. It also upscales text, but it's far better with anime content. I rebranded this model on 2/10/22 to 4x-AnimeSharp from 4x-TextSharpV1.
