# 4xFaceUpLDAT

This is the version of FaceUpDAT trained for 80k iters for lower quality images as a single huggingface model card and single safetensors file in files.  
Below the original text  

Name: 4xFaceUpDAT

Iterations: 140000  
epoch: 54  
batch_size: 4  
HR_size: 128

Description: 4x photo upscaler for faces, trained on the FaceUp dataset. These models are an improvement over the previously released 4xFFHQDAT and are its successors. These models are released together with the FaceUp dataset, plus the accompanying [youtube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBiVIzQkptI)

This model comes in 4 different versions:  
4xFaceUpDAT (for good quality input)  
4xFaceUpLDAT (for lower quality input, can additionally denoise)  
4xFaceUpSharpDAT (for good quality input, produces sharper output, trained without USM but sharpened input images, good quality input)  
4xFaceUpSharpLDAT (for lower quality input, produces sharper output, trained without USM but sharpened input images, can additionally denoise)
