Waifu2x-Extension-GUI

More feature rich UIs already exist as thin wrappers for this tech. Some linked from the Real-ESRGAN github repo. More importantly, Google Colab notebooks exist already as well, so you don't even need a graphics card. People are allowed to question what aspect of this project this is novel. I believe it's a fair critique when many tools already exist. A criticism doesn't imply a negative connotation. I personally appreciate the before/after comparison demo aspect of this tool. However, I value the ability to modify parameters and models more than a before and after comparison tool. I see parameters/models are on the road map but I personally believe it should be part of a 1.0 release. I personally am a fan of https://github.com/AaronFeng753/Waifu2x-Extension-GUI

My bad! Yes Waifu2x is just a single algorithm, you are right. The confusion originates from the fact that I was using a GUI project for Waifu2x called "Waifu2x Extension GUI" (https://github.com/AaronFeng753/Waifu2x-Extension-GUI) which other than Waifu2x also supports other algorithms like Real-ESRGAN, Real-CUGAN, SRMD, RealSR, Anime4K, RIFE, IFRNet, CAIN, DAIN, and ACNet. So as you said Cupscale is surely more advanced than Waifu2x (the single algorithm), but do you think it's also better than Waifu2x Extension GUI?

Many github projects do this for free: https://github.com/AaronFeng753/Waifu2x-Extension-GUI

Also Waifu2X (don't be put off by the name). https://github.com/AaronFeng753/Waifu2x-Extension-GUI It has several models for processing animation and photos. If you want it even tediously automates the scaling of videos and GIFs by exporting each frame, upscaling, and joining back together.
