Nice to release a model again! This one is intended for realistic imagery, and works especially well on faces, hair, and nature shots. It should only be used on somewhat clear shots, without a lot of grain. I trained this model on SPAN, which as of the time of release, you'll need chaiNNer-nightly for. I aimed for a softer, more natural look for this model with as few artifacts as possible.

In addition to the Normal model, I've included a "soft" model. The Soft model is... softer. Basically it was an earlier version of the model with a more limited dataset. It produces more natural output on games or rendered content, but suffers a bit more with realistic stuff.

Note: In shots with DOF (depth of field) or bokeh, unfortunately there will be artifacts. 

Compatibility: You'll have to use the latest chaiNNer-nightly to use this model

ClearRealityV1

Description: 4x photo upscaler for faces, trained on the FaceUp dataset. These models are an improvement over the previously released 4xFFHQDAT and are its successors. These models are released together with the FaceUp dataset, plus the accompanying [youtube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBiVIzQkptI)

This model comes in 4 different versions:  
4xFaceUpDAT (for good quality input)  
4xFaceUpLDAT (for lower quality input, can additionally denoise)  
4xFaceUpSharpDAT (for good quality input, produces sharper output, trained without USM but sharpened input images, good quality input)  
4xFaceUpSharpLDAT (for lower quality input, produces sharper output, trained without USM but sharpened input images, can additionally denoise)  

I recommend trying out 4xFaceUpDAT

4xFaceUpDAT

this model aims to improve further on what has been achieved by the regular 4xESRGAN and also 4xBox. It can upscale most pictures/photos (granted they are clean enough) without destroying as much detail as the aforementioned models. It generates less moiré like patterns and keeps details without oversharpening or blurring the image too much.

Nickelback

This model aims to improve further on what has been achieved by the old Nickelback which was an improvement attempt over 4xESRGAN and also 4xBox. It can upscale most pictures/photos (granted they are clean enough) without destroying as much detail as Box and basic ESRGAN.

NickelbackFS

Purpose: Coins

Upscale coins. That's it. If you were mad at me because Nickelback doesn't make any sense. Now you have the perfect solution to your problems. If you want to upscale nickels or anything with similar texture made out of metal, now you can. It works pretty well for a joke.
