Reah on paper (Topaz mission statement) is the Hybrid (or combination) of both Proteus and Iris.
Proteus it’s strength is general purpose image and small faces in the background, while Iris is supposedly more powerful for the predominant face, the foreground face in the image, but not as good on none face image (or small faces) as Proteus (v4). again, based on Topaz mission statement on those AI models intent of use.
Reah on paper suppose to be “the” model, as you get the best of both worlds, the strength of Proteus (v4) algorithm to a none face part of the image and/or the small faces in the image background & Iris algorithm on the noticeable, foreground face(s) in the image. that is Topaz intent.
Rather it works well or not?
well, I don’t know. currently Reah is only supported at x4 upscaling, which is way to high for my SD content, which produce very bad image due to the high upscaling scale for my SD content.
My content can’t handle such high upscale attempt as of today. so I can’t use it nor compare it with anything else I am familiar with (other AIs).
