New standalone app Citrine Photo simplifies SeedVR2 upscaling

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A photographer has developed a standalone Windows application called Citrine Photo, designed to upscale and sharpen images without requiring the ComfyUI interface. The app offers two engines: a fast Real-ESRGAN option compatible with most GPUs and a more advanced SeedVR2 engine for NVIDIA 20xx to 50xx series cards, utilizing different model sizes based on available VRAM. Citrine Photo supports batch processing, before/after previews, and preserves EXIF data, with SeedVR2 requiring a separate installation that includes its own Python environment and models. AI

IMPACT Simplifies image upscaling for users by integrating SeedVR2 and Real-ESRGAN into a user-friendly application.
