I have been using Remini to do enhancements on photographs. The software works very well - but they have significantly increased their costs, the most recent increase - where they slipped in an unannounced price increase to $6.99/week from $4.99/week, and also slipped in a 20 photo/week limit, was too much.

So I was faced with paying $7/week for weeks that I didn't use the service, and then if I wanted to use the service, it comes to $0.35/photo for enhancements? That's not an acceptable plan.

I'm looking for other software or services that are more reasonably priced. Does anyone have anything?

Latest edit: https://github.com/csxmli2016/DFDNet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTqGYMSKGF4 This piece of software seems to go the open-source road we are looking for. Results comparison at 9 minutes in the youtube video. I'm not the one who found this. Help came from another forum. I haven't tested it yet but looks like the real deal.

Edit: Lots of you seem to be asking if I managed to find alternatives. I do appreciate the positive feedback for this post as it shows I’m not the only one looking. Here’s a few alternatives I’ve found to be doing something. They are both license based and not as greedy (but not cheap either).

Topaz Video Converter (Later updates have made tremendous improvements) Dvd Fab’s AI Enlarger

Remini still seems to fix broken faces to a much high standard however. I do not believe those softwares convey the same results but they definitely help. I’m afraid I do not know enough about programming to quickly troubleshoot github softwares (I did dabble in ESRGAN and others). If y’all find any useful piece of software, let me know and I’ll add them to the list.

Hey everyone, I've been looking for a software that can do about the same thing as this Remini app can do on the google app store. I was wondering, since y'all are quite AI savvy if you were aware of a software that does the same magic. I've been through a lot of those. Topaz , ESRGAN, letsenhance.io, waifux2... but what I need is not really upscaling... It's detail enhancement? Here's an example. https://imgur.com/9DuJxss. To me, this is witchcraft. So here's my question. Anyone aware of any project of the sort in the open-source community or pay for? I'm actually trying to get my hand on those for restoration purposes so nothing like pay 20$ for a 100 images would really help... but I'm all about paying for a license (like Topaz). I got thousands of images to do.

I'm not very friendly with coding and programming but I did start to bathe in github softwares made from papers. I've been trying my hand at deep image prior and others but I was wondering if any of you knew a sure fire software for this particular purpose. I'll definitely work hard if I know that one software does exactly that.Thanks for the help. Been looking for something like that for a while.

Same exact question has been asked 4 years ago

I wanted to know if Meta changed and/or if there's anything new you'd like to add
