• Works better for restoration purposes then SD or ESRGAN (perfect PSNR)

• Almost no creepy artifacts on the dog or distortion, images subjectively look very good
• BUT SSIM is really low. Some picture elements are not as realistic as in SD. Fur is also not that good + I couldn’t get any fur structure from the white spot on the dog.
