<br/> You can use Snowshell to make your image better. <br/> Snowshell uses C++ and Win32API.

Usage

Just drag & drop your image files (or folder) in to Snowshell! (multiple image supports) <br/> To change your conversion setting, select option at menu bar. <br/>

To Use Vulkan Based Converters (Supported GPU Only)

  1. Install latest Graphics Driver. AMD / NVIDIA / INTEL <br/>
  2. Choose Converter to download <br/> 2-1. Download waifu2x-ncnn-vulkan to waifu2x-ncnn-vulkan folder. <br/> 2-2. Download Real-CUGAN to realcugan-vulkan folder. <br/> 2-3. Download Real-ESRGAN to realesrgan-vulkan folder. <br/>
  3. Select Converter to waifu2x-ncnn-vulkan/realcugan-vulkan. <br/>
  4. Set conversion mode on TTA menu. <br/> 4-1. TTA convert mode is slower but higher quality conversion. <br/>
  5. Snowshell will start conversion using waifu2x-ncnn-vulkan / realcuan-vulkan.

Notice For waifu2x-ncnn-vulkan:

You cannot use upconv_7 models for x1 mode. please use cunet instead (default)

To Use waifu2x-caffe (NVIDIA GPU Only)

  1. Install latest NVIDIA Graphics Driver. <br/>
  2. Put waifu2x-caffe to waifu2x-caffe folder. <br/>
  3. Select Converter to waifu2x-caffe. <br/>
  4. Set conversion mode on GPU(CPU) menu. <br/> 4-1. TTA convert mode is slower but higher quality conversion. <br/>
  5. Snowshell will start conversion using waifu2x-caffe.

To Use cunet model with included waifu2x-caffe:

  1. set model folder to models/cunet
  2. set Custom Option to -p cudnn <br/> image

To Change Model File

  1. Open config.ini file (if there is no config.ini, launch Snowshell once and close it) <br/>
  2. Set your model file directory with absolute path or relative path. <br/> 2-1 You have to use \\ instead of \ <br/> 2-2. When you use relative path, path is relative to converter's directory. <br/>
  3. Converters default model directory (relative) <br/> 3-1. waifu2x_converter_cpp = models_rgb <br/> 3-2. waifu2x_caffe = models\\upconv_7_anime_style_art_rgb <br/> 3-3. waifu2x_ncnn-vulkan = models-cunet <br/> 3-4. realcugan-vulkan = model-se <br/> 3-5. realesrgan-vulkan = realesrgan-x4plus-anime <br/>

To Change Output Extension

  1. Open config.ini file (if there is no config.ini, launch Snowshell once and close it) <br/>
  2. Change extension to prefer file format. <br/> 2-1. Check converter's HP to find which file format will be supported. <br/>

To Use Advanced Option in Converter

  1. Open config.ini file (if there is no config.ini, launch Snowshell and close it) <br/>
  2. Check your converter and fill OptionString with currect option. <br/>
  3. To find option for your converter, please visit converter's HP <br/> 3-1. waifu2x_converter_cpp: waifu2x-converter-cpp <br/> 3-2. waifu2x_caffe: waifu2x-caffe <br/> 3-3. waifu2x_ncnn-vulkan: waifu2x-ncnn-vulkan <br/> 3-4. realcugan-vulkan: Real=CUGAN <br/> 3-5. realesrgan-vulkan: Real-ESRGAN <br/>
  4. If you want to ignore/override settings that Snowshell supports, add -- to end of optionstring to ignore all settings.<br/> 4-1. you cannot override input file name because it is nessesory to make Snowshell works.
