How to Restore Damaged Photos with GFPGAN

SMRTR summary

GFPGAN is a new AI model designed to restore and upscale low-quality photos, particularly for human faces. The technology combines a degradation removal module, a pretrained StyleGAN2 model, and a channel-split feature transform to dramatically improve image quality. When used with REAL-ESRGAN, it can enhance both faces and backgrounds in damaged or aged photos. This advancement could significantly improve photo restoration efforts, making the process more sophisticated and efficient for both hobbyists and professionals.
