I agree. I have stopped using Topaz Photo AI for restoring + upscaling since SUPIR (via ComfyU) has been made available. While i agree it is not for everyone, and requires some technical knowledge and a beefy GPU (RTX 4090), for restoring images, it beats ANYTHING currently available. Topaz, if you snooze, you lose.

A much faster alternative to Supir, sometimes the results look too “artificial,” but often it does a good job. I’m surprised nobody mentioned it (I searched the forum).

Hi. Topaz is all about Enhancement of what’s already within the image or video and not Transforming images or videos into something new or different.

Product Direction in 2024

Eric Yang, CEO, Topaz Labs

Hi, and thanks so much for trusting our products with your work over the past few years.

In 2024

We believe that generative AI should improve your work rather than replace it, so our product development philosophy focuses on three principles:

  1. Enhancement vs replacement: for improving your work without altering its core essence.

  2. Natural and photorealistic results, vs fantastical: for your photos and videos where preserving reality matters.

  3. On-device processing, vs cloud: for a faster workflow, more editing options, and private processing.

We think that these principles are essential for professional use cases, but currently undervalued in AI research. As such, we’re accelerating this direction with our three core products:

Thanks,
Eric Yang

Yes, I also prefer GAN-based models for upscaling. But sometimes I experiment with diffusion models too, which can produce excellent results in certain cases. It all depends on the input material.
Topaz Video AI has models that can add eyes where they are missing, etc.
It’s worth experimenting, especially with the wide variety of options available in the open-source scene :wink:

There are some new and better competitor than Osediff
Results are way better and realistic than Osediff. (Oppo`s project)

(Huawei envolved in this project :slight_smile: )
I was not able to make it run successfully on Windows. At Ubuntu everything goes as well as it should.
Will try later to create video upscaling script for S3Diff as I did for Osediff.
