Port Waifu2x to Gimp?

[hukaabh]

Is it possible to port waifu2x to Gimp?

[racer-x]

Probably, but it would require someone to write a python script to run the waifu2x executable. A better venue might be to request it through G'mic. This way it won't be limited to one OS. Or you can simply use Avisynth for your upscale with wafu2x. There is also a site somewhere I believe that will do it.

I did try "Shellpy" and add, it does open wifu2x but when its "exported" it does not import to Gimp. I am trying to get hold of G'mic, I want to translate it to swedish but still have not gotten a answer how to reach them. And yes, I do believe as you say, its great if it was not limited to Windows, I do use Ubuntu most of the time, but I also do use Windows, sadly...

I do belive it even does a better job than photoshops "Preserve Details 2.0"

Did try to add image for comparing, but gimpchat says "Your post looks too spamy for a new user, please remove off-site URLs." :/

@hukaabh

Your best bet is ask on discuss.pixls.us forum. Both questions

waifu2x occasionally gets a mention as: https://discuss.pixls.us/t/pixel-art-sc ... s/11142/11 but it is just a mention.
Maybe they can implement one of the versions not tied to Nvidia.

Try adding to https://discuss.pixls.us/t/release-of-gmic-2-7-0/13666 thread

I saw your other post on translations?
For gmic_gimp_qt these are in https://github.com/c-koi/gmic-qt code and just affect the gmic interface, what you get in gmic with Settings -> Language The filters remain as written. There is a bit at the end middle (post 20) of that thread about it.

..I do use Ubuntu most of the time...

I keep a gmic_gimp_qt here, might work on your installation

Thank you rich2005, I have asked there now, also I did try the github link. Its wierd, I was looking on the github page before without finding the files, but there they are. So now they have the swedish translation so now its just to see if they use it or not.
