[Question] Best model to enhance old pictures

[tuxtux59]

Hello,

I tried all available models to enhance old photos (before 1990's) . It's working well on background details (wood, concrete, flowers) but not detailing faces. Is there a appropriate model/settings to do so ?

Hello @tuxtux59,

I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions you have. Let's work together to solve this issue!

Currently, Upscayl does not specify a model optimized specifically for enhancing facial details in old photographs. However, you can customize or fine-tune models by loading your own NCNN models into Upscayl. This involves converting models from PyTorch using the Model Conversion Guide and then loading them into Upscayl by placing them in a "models" folder and selecting this folder in the settings. This approach allows you to use custom models tailored for specific image types, such as portraits ^[1].
