RealScaler 2.3 - fast image/video AI upscaler app (Real-ESRGAN)

RealScaler 2.3 changelog

NEW

• Completely rewrote the tile management algorithm:
  • cutting an image into tiles is ~60% faster
  • tiles now also support transparent images
  • tiles are no longer saved as files, to save disk space and time
  • now the image/frame upscaled as a result of tiles is interpolated with the original image/frame: this reduces graphical defects while maintaining upscale quality
• Added "Video output" widget that allows you to choose the extension of the upscaled video:
  • .mp4, produces well compressed and good quality video
  • .avi, produces very high quality video without compression
  • .webm, produces very compressed and very light video with no audio

GUI

• The app will now tell how many tiles the images are divided into during upscaling
• Removed Mica effect (transparency) due to incompatibilities: often did not allow to select, zoom, and move the application window

BUGFIX & IMPROVEMENTS

• By default AI precision is set to "Half precision"
• By default now "Input resolution %" is set to 50%
• Partially rewrote and cleaned up more than 50% of the code
• Updated all dependencies
