Increase resolution of DAP images and Photos with AI

Post by Oscar »

I am building this new tool that uses NCNN (artificial intelligence) and the available AI image restoration models to add really incredible details to photos and images, including DAP images. It has kind of meh name, but all cool names were taken :(
But I am not married to the name.

AI Photo & Art Enhancer

The only downside is that it needs a fairly recent GPU (like NVIDIA GeForce, AMD, etc...) since the calculations are pretty heavy.
If you don't have supported GPU, then you won't be able to run it at all, but that's how the neural networks work, they need a lot of calculations :(

It works fine on 3 computers I tried it here (one was Microsoft Surface pad with Intel GPU), but it is still a pre-release. Test it, see if you can run it, throw some images on it. Wonder how did you live without it...
There are of course plans to extend this with more adjustments (there are none), perhaps batch process - but I will see how useful it is. Really, I don't know how many people would be able to run it, since it needs GPU. Although they do stick Nvidia and AMD to anything these days...

This is the best AI can give you now in terms of adding resolutions to images, and it is pretty exciting.

Add incredible detail to your photos and art using artificial intelligence.
• Increase resolution of photos, up to 16x the number of pixels
• Increase details and colors of paintings made with Dynamic Auto Painter
• Create gallery print-worthy quality of your digital art
• Modern Noise Reduction for photos and 3d graphics
• Enlarge drawings and vector-type art
• Increase resolution of 3D rendered images while suppressing noise in partially rendered images

Hello,
The program works fine for me with Win10 (Lenovo Ideapad3, Intel Core i5, Intel Iris x Graphics).

I am liking the results. Especially the DAP options. Suggestion, add an option to the output file name to include the option used.. maybe the last word in the description..
UHD - NR - Soft - Graphics - Painting - Texture

Or of course whatever you think best ;O)

Thanks

Unfortunately, I am still plodding along on Windows 7 so cannot try the software at this time.

If the requirement of the graphics card fits, just install and test.

This program is incredible! I purchased the program a few days ago and have tried it with dozens of images created with DAP. It also works remarkably well with low resolution graphics and was extraordinarily helpful yesterday in creating a PowerPoint presentation - I mention that because it has more applications than enlarging DAP images. I would love to see the ability to adjust processing settings - for instance, DAP Color & Texture was a little strong with portraits. It would also be great if it could automatically add the process name to the filename when saving

For reference, I am using a Microsoft Surface Pro 8 running Windows 11.

Thanks for this great new tool!

It does a great job with highlight strokes and handles uniform areas well.
Nice vector look.
