From the Hugging Face model README
These two ESRGAN models in 4X and 2X were trained for 160,000 steps on a variety of photos to maximize quality of human subjects. It can be used in place of ESRGAN models with virutally any app that can do upscale with ESRGAN.
I have tried to find a good balance between texture preservation, sharp edge restoration, and good color / contrast maximization. Comparable to the UltraSharp model, but better for photos and humans in general (but a little worse on cartoons, graphics, and drawings.)
Use it as a drop-in replacement for ESRGAN.
Use this model for upscaling photos, especially of humans. Don't use it to upscale Anime, as there are better models for that.
Use the code below to get started with the model.
