waifu2x (image enhancing tool)

http://waifu2x.udp.jp/  (not https, not safe connection but faster than the other one and has photo preset)
https://waifu2x.booru.pics/ (has no photo preset, just noise reduction and scaling)
you can use these websites to increase the quality of your images
or
https://github.com/lltcggie/waifu2x-caffe/releases
download the pc gui (might need to go to "App Setting" and check Use CPU)
things it can do :


remove noise


attempt to increase the resolution and quality of an image. (denoise + magnify)
note most settings are optimized for "anime styles" but the Photography and PhotoUp pre-sets work on photos too, just needs a bit more denoising
it can probably do other things too but regardless try it out and post results here? i would imagine it would be useful to boost your art quality or something

i think the computer exe you can download is actually better than the online version, and the ai has been improved since that video was made, so it works better overall

You need an nvidia card for the actual prog itself afaik because it relies on some nvidia tech i think
