B/W | 100% Desaturated images. It mostly results in Blue and Yellow images with slight hints of Green, Orange and Magenta. You are free to use this as a pretrain to achieve better results.

BS_Colorizer/Vapourizer

Category: Luminance/Chroma

ChromaSharpen - makes the colors slightly more vibrant with a sideeffect of possibly adding Chromatic Abberation to the image. I am not sure about the usage of this model on real case scenarios but anything blurry or with fuzzy colors could work

BSChroma

Category: Luminance/Chroma
Purpose: Luma

Fix Luminance issues?? LumaSharpen ESRGAN Edition? - This model mostly does what "Lumasharpen" algorithms do. It may help fixing images with Luminance images issues? Like old DVD rips? I am not sure, didn't test.

BSLuma

DeBLR

This model is meant to reduce or eliminate JPEG Compression without making the original images too smooth or killing detail. It manages to do a fairly good job but don't expect overly compressed images to work with this.

Pretrained model: 1xESRGAN + previous attempts

JPEGDestroyer

BSWolly

As the name might suggest, this model aims to upscale text with less distortion that other models. It seems to do a good job generally, but don't expect it to be a state of the art model that can upscale magazines and stuff. It makes things more readable but since it was train on B/W pictures it desaturates them.

BSTexty

Category: Art/Pixel Art
Purpose: Art

This model upscales Digital Drawings. It was trained on random drawings found on DeviantArt. Mostly Landscape and Scenery and Illustrations of Characters. It does fairly well and works on many different styles.

BSDevianceMIP

Upscale Steve Harvey, but maybe other things, somehow??

BSSbeveHarvey

This model is designed to upscale game screenshots (3D Games) by 4 times. The SPSR version is an improvement over the ESRGAN based V2.

BS_ScreenBooster_SPSR

Purpose: Upscaling pack.png

Upscales Minecraft screenshots by 4x. May suffer from haloing, weird patterns on blocks and JPEG-like artifacts.

Minepack

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.
