Upscaling .tga files through Cupscale I noticed that there's a wierd issue with output images. All textures upscaled through Cupscale appear inverted ingame, however actual textures when opened with image editor appears fine. All that with "TGA: Apply rotation fix ( Flip )" enabled in Cupscale settings. But when I disable that fix output image appear flipped but actually work properly ingame. So when fix is applied texture is flipped ingame but actual texture is fine, while without fix it's the reverse. Don't know what's causing it but I don't it's a game quirk as .tga files upscaled with IEU and other upscale tools work fine so the issues is probably with Cupsale. Also another interesing thing, resaving textures with fix applied in Photoshop corrects them in other words they appear correctly ingame while the actual texture is not flipped.

When loading a DDS file dumped by the new PCSX2 texture dumping plugin released by Topaz Reality, the color channels are mixed up. The textures are dumped as dds files in the BGRA (blue,green,red,alpha) format. It seems like it is being interpreted as RGBA format. Adding an option to either automatically detect the correct format or a manual box to check to swap the color channels would be awesome. Upscaling PCSX2 textures currently involves converting the images to PNG through xnconvert before colors display correctly in cupscale.

When the path of a resulting image path becomes too long (> 248 characters), e.g. by concatenating 2 models, the original image that has been loaded gets overwritten by cupscale!

I have looked a bit on it, but is there any transparent background support? I do upscale images that has transparent backgrounds and its a little problematic cause its a few hundreds of images I need to cut out background to make it transparent again.

If not, I would want that feature. :)

Hi @n00mkrad ,

In the latest Cupscale version I can't seem to enter a new model path.

1. After pasting a path and closing the Options dialog, the old model folder is still used.
2. When I open the options again, the model input field turns out to be empty.

After that I moved all of my ESRGAN models to one folder (folder name without spaces, just to make the path extra valid).
Now Cupscale crashes after entering the new path and trying to open the models dialog.

Looking at the crash error details, Cupscale still tries to locate the old, deleted folder.

In the end I've manually updated the path in the config.ini file, and now it works.

it's hard to work in the dark theme

Every time I try to use NCNN I get the error "The ordinal could not be located in the dynamic link library [Path to CupscaleData]\ShippedEsrgan\tools\lib\site-packages\torch\lib\torch_cpu.dll"
This bug is reproducable with every version since the initial implementation of NCNN (portable and normal mode).
I use mainly the embedded Python but system Python doesn't seem to make a difference.
I use AMD hardware (2nd gen Ryzen CPU and Polaris GPU).

When I try to use NCNN on Windows, it stops with _wfopen G:\tmp\Cupscale\Models\.ncnn\1x_BC1-smooth2/x4.param failed.
The last / should be a \ on Windows.

Hi everyone. I'm sorry for bothering you all.

When trying to upscale a video with "Chain Two Models", I get an 'Illegal characters in path' error, and the video file is not created.

I've tried running Cupscale from several locations, and storing the video file in several locations (including "C:\Video"). I've tried renaming the video file to just "a.mkv", and I have tried converting the video into plain h.264 (no audio, no subtitles, no other streams). I've tried short videos (0.5 seconds) and longer ones (about a minute long). All these instances cause the error.

If I select "Use Single Model", the video converts without problem. If I select "Chain Two Models" on a PNG image, the image converts without problem. I suspect the filename generated for the new video file (i.e. "Model1+Model2+oldFilename.extension") may contain some impossible character(s).

The error message is as follows:

Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.
Illegal characters in path.

The debug data reads as follows:

Thank you so much for your time, and for making such a helpful frontend app.

When in Chain Two Models mode, a small Flip/Swap button would save time.

Depending on the image being processed, I find myself experimenting with noise reduction before or after scaling images to get the results I'm looking for.
Having to swap the models around manually is a bit annoying after a while!.

Mock up attached

Some forks of W2X have multithreading added for images which makes GPU usage 100% all the time. One of the GPUs i had stopped working because i made large batch upscales and it made GPU usage go from 0 to 100 in seconds, which ruined its VRMs in a long term. (it seems the program is running 2 or more threads of the same executable, and also, im using a AMD GPU now)

Also, when using some models, they upscales to 4x or more, some models do include in their names what they`ll do, but at this point, is it possible to add custom resolutions? Sometimes i do not need a 7000x4000 image as 3700x2700 is enough for some needs. (or i may be missing something, though the resize options apparently do not do anything)

Computer:
CPU - AMD 5800X
GPU - RTX 3080 (latest drivers)
OS - Windows 10 (also up to date)

1. Downloaded release 1.37.0.
2. Found several pretrained .pth models and placed them in CupscaleData/model-presets/ for safekeeping.
3. Installed embedded python bits, which are correctly registering in dependency checker. Only red line is for system python, which if I understand correctly I shouldn't need because of embedded python. The setting is also chosen to use the embedded python when available.
4. Select any of the downloaded pretrained .pth models from step 2.
5. Open image/video in Cupscale.
6. Hit Upscale and Save button.
7. Preprocessing and starting ESRGAN steps go off without hitch (well, seems that way at least).
8. Then gets stuck in Upscaling stage unendingly. Even though CUDA Fallback Mode setting is set to none to always use CUDA, GPU usage is 0%. CPU, however, utilizes a few cores, swapping back and forth every couple seconds using one core 100%, then the other core uses 100% while the first drops to 0%, then it swaps back, ad infinitum.

The image/video frames correctly show up in the img-in folder while it's stuck in the Upscaling stage.
The Session Log in the Settings seems to be show nothing of note. However, every time I open it, it adds another copy of:
[IOUtils] Copying directory "C:\Work\Videos\Upscaled\Cupscale1.37.0\CupscaleData\ShippedEsrgan\utils" to "C:\Work\Videos\Upscaled\Cupscale1.37.0\CupscaleData\ShippedEsrgan\py\utils" (Move: False - RemoveFromName: )
Checking if compatibleExtensions contains .py: False
Checking if compatibleExtensions contains .py: False
Checking if compatibleExtensions contains .py: False
Checking if compatibleExtensions contains .py: False
So that if I open up and close out the Session Log five times while it's stuck in the Upscaling stage, there will be five back-to-back copies of that. Checking the ShippedEsrgan\utils and ShippedEsrgan\py\utils folder show the four .py files are in both.

Is there some step in the install process I might have missed? Was there a prepackaged .pth model included? Is the program trying to use the GPU but not being able to, thus never actually getting to the upscaling? Am I mistaken on the timescale to expect to upscale even a single 720p image being on the order of seconds with a powerful GPU and minutes for a capable CPU?

Hello!
I'm very interested in this project and it looks amazing. Sadly when I load a model in build 22 and attempt to upscale any image, it seems to always give me this error

`An error occured during upscaling:

Index was outside the bounds of the array.

Stack Trace:
at Cupscale.UI.MainUIHelper.d__14.MoveNext()`

I'm fairly new at this, so apologies if I've missed something obvious. I just downloaded a model and ran Build22
I've tried CPU only, and GPU, none seem to work. I've also tried this on build 21 and I get the same error.

Thanks in advance!

It would be sweet to convert images to power of two on the fly. For some reasons, like memory optimization in some games.
The images not following power of two resolution would be size-corrected, if flag is set. This feauture would check for and correct textures which are not power of two size.

We have 3 scenarios that should have a look:

1. convert to the nearest power of two resolutions (128x128, 128x256, 512x512, 1024x512, and so on);
2. convert to square power of two resolutions (128x128, 256x256, 512x512 and so on);
3. convert to the power of two resolution mantaining the original aspect ratio, only expanding the texture, not resizing or cropping (image.png with 54x22 resolution expanding to 64x32, filling extra space with zero alpha or black).

These options could be enabled/selected in "Resize before upscaling" or in "Resize after upscaling". I did some tests and sometimes the upscalling is better before and some after the power of two resize. I did it manually though.

The correction in most cases, for the final output of the image should be one power of two level below (imageA.png with 1008x780 should be corrected to 512x512; imageB.png with 544x240 should be corrected to 512x256 so the output won't have loss in quality).

Another thing that could be added is set the maximum width and height size that the texture should have, some games have the limit of 2048 pixels (longest side). So the power of two should respect that.

I downloaded a few models to test it out, and whenever I select a model and then click on Refresh Preview, it gives me this error

Batch Upscale doesn't appear to work with individual files, but works properly with a full folder

I was using this model to upscale a short video (https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=kZojwLXZfeqA3Eoyv6SKXXt01AlSeuHH0WKX) and got the same "model.0.weight" error as another user did. Was this because I was upscaling an mp4 instead of an image sequence? I'm brand new to this, anything would help

When attempting to load BSRGAN with NCNN, I get the following error message:

Failed to convert Pytorch model to NCNN format! It might be incompatible.

Error: Attempted to load a new-format model

A few of the models I have tried have failed to load with this error message.

Recently encountered this issue on a drive that's 32.2GB free, and a drive that's 514GB free.
This only happens with the Batch Upscale feature, with 2 or more files.

Spec: Windows 7 64-bit || Just in case it matters.

When installing Python from the Dependency Checker, it is stuck at the "Compressing files..." part. (for an HOUR)
Upon cancelling and restarting, everything seemed to be in order, the Dependency Checker said I had everything installed and available.
I tried upscaling a simple small image (with CUDA), and it said: "RuntimeError: CUDA error: no kernel image is available for execution on device"
I was like, sure, maybe my GPU is not supported it seems. So then I tried Vulkan and CPU, and neither of them worked. Vulkan threw up an error, and CPU just hanged for too long. (Tried CPU with both embedded and stock python)

PS. I tried Esrgan before, and it worked on CPU flawlessly (although slowly), but this application would be way more convenient if it could work.

So I downloaded Cupscale recently, and for a few days it worked perfectly fine. But later on, it kept on having errors, not upscaling images when I wanted to, and NCNN stopped working after a while. And two days in a row, my pc completely locked up.

Then I trying to upscale a lot of images from the folder - it does nothing
I transfer several files by drag and drop to the program window-I start upscale - it starts, runs successfully in 2 seconds and that's it - the pro-scaled images themselves are nowhere to be found.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open LR images in the Explorer
2. Drug and drop images or opened folder into Cupscale window
3. Press "Upscale"

Actual result:
It does nothing, only message "Done - Upscaling took 4s".

Expected result:
Upscale works with multiple images

Does this application support linux?

When previewing game textures from midnight club 3 dub edition remix with PCSX2-EX the textures are displayed wrongly a character texture is more blue than also red textures are also blue oddly not sure why this happens hopefully could be fixed willing to share the .DDS Files if want to investigate

Cupscale crashes interpolation after preprocessing a mkv video?

In the img-in folder the images start out as 0001.png but when the preprocessing finishes each image name becomes like 0001.png.png.png
I'm not sure if this is what causes the error.

I also selected overwrite mode - yes and mp4 in the saving options

Thanks for your help.

Is there a possibility for a colab notebook port, with all the main features of cupscale built-in? (Including Video / Image upscale. CUDA processing, compatibility with many models, Interpolation of models etcetera.)
Would be a useful and faster alternative to AMD/Intel computers limited to CPU or NCNN.

Would love for it to be a way to add a bulk of videos or a folder of videos to a processing queue. Have a bunch of small clips and sometimes larger videos and instead of babysitting Cupscale i should be able to just set a bunch of videos in a queue and let it do its thing into the set folder.

Hey! I tried using the xinnta BasicSR based learning model. But unfortunately I get an error.
Is it possible to work in cupscale using BasicSR ESRGAN models?

Chaining two models works when running just one image, however only the last model of the chain is applied in batch mode.

Here's an example: an image ran through 2 models (remove BC1 compression artefacts, apply antialiasing), with and without batch mode. As you can see when zooming in the first image only had antialiasing applied, the second also had BC1 artefacts removed.

Think there should be an option to set the whole machine to shutdown/hibernate or sleep once processing is done.
This will also work great with larger bulk tasks, allowing users to set it to process, leave it and let it shut down in the middle of night.

Ofc all of this is user choice and larger bulks/videos can take quite some time, allowing it to shut down on its own when its done could be helpful.

Works great with #12

As you can see in the following screenshot, the "Repeat: mirror" option seems to generate something peculiar for this particular image. When using the final image mirrored, it will appear that it has 2 spikes. The 2nd image was generated by creating a larger image from flipped copies of the original image, upscaling that with the seamless mode option set to "Off", and finally cropping to get to the original image size x4

I get this in the CMD log. Using embedded python.

Hi. Tried to move it to C:/Program Files. Tried to manually make Cupscale folder in %APPDATA%. Tried -portable, gives me Error saying that another instance of Cupscale is running wich is not true. Starts well from the same folder accessed by another PC in a local network. The sessionlog.txt only says
5-6-2021 10:11:34: Arg: C:\Program Files\Cupscale1.37.0\Cupscale.exe
Is there any way to turn on verbose mode or see detailed logs?

Joey’s ESRGAN supports three different settings for the alpha support.
However in Cupscale, it’s only a tick box to use the alpha mode 1 or none at all, instead of a dropdown menu.
Choosing manually the alpha strategy is useful in multiple scenarios, and it would be nice to have access to that setting.

When I try to batch upscale .tga files with 2xESRGAN and Pre.Processing disabled it throws the Error:

'NoneType' object has no attribute 'shape'

I've encountered this issue when trying to batch upscale a couple of images, where some of which had Polish diacritic characters, such as ż, ą, or ó. The error that has popped up was AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'shape'. After renaming the files to use basic Latin only, the images were processed properly.

Hello, this is my first time using this program.
I just installed all the dependencies using the compatibility checker,
yet when I load a video, the following error happens:

I'm not sure where I went wrong. Any advice is appreciated.

Tested with 1.36.0. After compression is completed and the embedded python text box reads "Done!" program does not allow you to close out of the window. Terminating CupScale in task manager and reopening presents an unhandled exception showing the following file is missing: "\Cupscale1.36.0\Cupscale1.36.0\CupscaleData\ShippedEsrgan\esrlupscale.py". CupScale remains useable, but error continues to present itself anytime settings is entered and then closed.

Trying upscale DDS texture with trensparency. On preview all ok. When saving to PNG - all ok. But when save to DDS alpha is absent (got black).

I upscaled like 100 alpha layers. And they actually look all very similar. But there must be something different between some of them, because ~50% of these textures lost their black color during upscale process. In windows explorer they were full white, in gimp they had transparent background instead.

First one texture which upscaled as intended:

Original:

And now a texture which had this failure:

I attach the files and the log from this session:
files and log.zip

For even some of the simplest errors such as the file not being found (due to moving it), the button is disabled after clicking it, after the error occurred.
Could it be made to re-enable the button after loading in a new image?

Not so much an issue as a feature request.

Especially when saving as DDS, if you can save using the same format (DXT1, DXT3, DXT5, etc) as the source image, it would help when trying to mass convert files that have different formats.

Whenever I try and upscale it prompts me that Python 3 hasn't been found. Now hear me out, I've installed the embbed python, everything is installed. Now I have tried installing EVERY SINGLE Python 3 version, after 3.0.0 this means 3.0.0 all the way to 3.9.2, all of it didn't work.

Could we get an update to the embedded installer so ampere (RTX 3000 series) could more easily get support?

Both Python and pyTorch is out of date at this point and, im guessing that is why Cuda and Tensorcore support is not working in the embedded option.
