Hi,

I have just discovered a spectacular and fast open-source application for restoring old film photos built with Baseten and powered by the GFP-GAN model.

GFPGAN aims to develop algorithms for face restoration.

Could you be inspired by it for a future version or see with the author of this development, for an authorization to add this functionality in Digikam

Url: https://app.baseten.co/apps/QPp4nPE/operator_views/RqgOnqV

Source code: https://github.com/TencentARC/GFPGAN

I let you arbitrate,

Best regards

GFPGAN is a Python code project. digiKam is C++ one. So, it's complex to integrate.

Instead, i recommend to take a look to GMicQt Repair filters which give great results.

GmiQt is available in Image Editor and will be integrated soon in digiKam Batch Queue Manager.
