What is Waifu2x-Extension?

Image & GIF & Video Super-Resolution using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks.

Based on Waifu2x-ncnn-vulkan and Waifu2x-converter .

Thanks to waifu2x-ncnn-vulkan, Waifu2x-Extension could use any kind of gpu that support Vulkan, even Intel GPU.

If your gpu doesn't support vulkan, you can use Waifu2x-converter, which is also intergrated into the Waifu2x-Extension.

视频放大倍数希望增加1.5倍选项

很多人现在依然是使用1080P的屏幕，720P的视频可能是会需要waifu2x拉升的主要视频源，使用3.8版本测试视频压制过程中，发现和图片一样只有整数倍率（1/2/4/8）放大，只是图片而言其实还好，但是就视频来说，720P 2X放大直接就来到2K分辨率了，即便waifu2x足够优秀，拉伸倍数越高一定会造成细节损失越大，希望能增加1.5倍率放大选项或者直接能够像caffe版本一样可以.1倍率手动设置，这样无论是图片还是视频都可以灵活很多

How to set video quality（ffmpeg coding in output）

Output converted files to different path?

Hello :)

I was wondering if there was a way to do the following:

1. Set Scaled_Waifu2x to NOT be removed upon converting files (as when I convert new images in the folder, the files that are already in Scaled_Waifu2x are deleted)
2. Set an ouput path for the converted files to move to after conversion

At the moment I currently have my settings to delete the original after conversion. If i then add a new picture to the folder, run the conversion again, all images that were in scaled_waifu2x are deleted, leaving ONLY the recently added image.

I can at the moment just setup a script to move anything in "scaled_waifu2x" to a different folder.

Thanks :)

能否设置图片质量？

试用了最新版本测试图片，出图大小，质量都和http://waifu2x.udp.jp/出图有较大差距。（原图700kb左右，http://waifu2x.udp.jp/ 【照片模式，2倍放大，降噪中】出图5MB，修复效果满意，Waifu2x-Extension 默认参数【2倍放大，降噪2】出图940kb竟然出现了许多原图未出现的锯齿）image quality 参数修改没有效果，没看到有其他修改出图质量的选项，想问下能否解决这个问题？毕竟这个gui界面还是很不错的，显卡是RX570

GUI is too wide

As the program is usually used by dragging images inside, the interface is partially hidden on a 1920x1080 screen (picture below), including the Start button. I believe it would be interesting to make the interface less wide, for example by joining GIF and Videos in one tab or reducing the width between the tabs.

Update Anime4K to v1.0 RC2?

Anime4K has released v1.0 RC2 with reduced texture loss, aliasing and banding. The time cost is similar with v0.9. Is it better to update Anime4K to v1.0 RC2?

请问遇到兼容性问题应该怎么解决

我是昨晚帖子里遇到使用问题的人
之前3.1版本使用waifu2x-ncnn-vulkan这个模式处理视频时，进度会一直卡在0不动，创建的新文件也不会进行处理，右侧的计时功能则正常
将模式换做waifu2x-converter时虽然会正常运作，但每当程序将视频处理完毕后会出现报错现象，报错的同时原本由程序创建处理好的新文件也全被程序自动删除了

以上问题在换了3.15版本后，于作者您新增加的兼容性检测功能得到了解答：
Compatible with waifu2x-ncnn-vulkan : False
Compatible with waifu2x-converter : True
Compatible with Anime4k : False
请问以上三条兼容性问题应该如何解决？

Error Message

I got this error message at some point, i thoiught it only occurs at broken Gif files, but thats not the case,

I also recommend the possibility to save files in a different folder thasn the input folder and make tighter scale values possible like caffee does 1, 5/ 3 etc .

System Specs:

Win 10 Home
Waifu Extension 4.1

Notification sound option not saving after closing

I'm testing the new version with GUI and I really like that notification sound. However, when checking the option and closing the program, it is deselected the next time the program is used.
