A more powerful image upscaler

[gin063]

I found a powerful opensource upscaler, reverse engineering of the Magnific AI:
https://github.com/philz1337x/clarity-upscaler
I wonder if the Fooocus team will add a more powerful upscaler in Fooocus?

1. he didn't reverse engineer Magnific AI
2. he used a similar method that was published about 9 months ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qde9f_U6agU
3. there are no innovative codes on his Github, last I checked all he did was upload A1111, that is it, wasting my time

If you want a powerful upscale look into SUPIR

With the help of SUPIR and Photoshop I took this:

Thanks for your comment. I just watched this video, it’s exactly what you said, but TBH, this video is very difficult to watch😂
It seems that running SUPIR locally requires a very high hardware configuration, I only have a RTX 3060 laptop😭

Yeah upscaling does require strong video cards. It kinda justify why Magnific AI cost so much. They have to rent some powerful servers

I recommend you use Topaz Gigapixels

Combine SUPIR and Topaz I took a 1024x512 pano to 10,000x5000 pixels as you can see here https://kuula.co/post/5n4bl

OK, thank you.
