If you haven't heard about chaiNNer yet it an amazing node based application that allows you to feed images (or iterate over folders of images) and use premade models to upscale or do image processing automatically. It's so easy and the UI is amazing to use. It also can get dependencies like pytorch and other things with a click of a button.
This is the solution you've been looking for to do something like... Upscale to 16000x16000 with doing a 4X model twice, then pass to a de-toon model, then pass to a skin up-scaling model to add skin detail, then pass to a face upscaler to add facial detail, then save the file to a new folder with the original filename.
The main software:

Premade models:

Attached is an example if the UI so you can see how easy it is.
Just published a writeup + the model files for an AI-powered design tool I built mainly for myself, ‘LogoScale.’
Its purpose is upscale shitty, tiny, compressed raster logos up to 4x or 8x their size, to augment and increase the accuracy of bitmap tracing. This is how you go from ‘re-tracing client logos by hand’ to ‘I pulled a vector logo out of my ass’. Take a peek.

One of these days, when work stops being stressful, I should finally release and document my LogoScale #ESRGAN model. It is trained on 10,000 vector logos scraped from Wikimedia, and is meant to improve the output capability of Adobe Illustrator’s ‘live trace’ mode.
The use-case is targeted at a routine need for me: client only sends you a JPEG of their logo, and immediately goes on vacation or falls into an open manhole.
I've decided to fire off a quick post about my #LucasArtsPosters project (at http://poster.mixnmojo.com), so that it's easier for people to find it on here as well. Share away!
I will post about individual pieces from the project every now and then, featuring most of them on here eventually.

Open source wins again.
Using #ChaiNNer with PyTorch + ESRGAN to 4x upscale a sequence of 240 images.
This greatly speeds up the time to prototype HD renders when the initial output can be 1/4 the target output.
