I planning to fine-tune real-ESRGAN for my project and as I do my research in its github repo there are 2 cases for fine-tuning the model:
- Generate degraded images on the fly (meaning I only need to provide the high res image to the model and it will automatically generate the low quality image by its self through blurring, adding noise, compressing,etc)
- Use my own paired data
As for the first case, I wonder if I can add more degradation effects, for example changing the color to greyscale or vintage yellow to make it look like old picture?
