Graphic Runner v0.0.18 Java Beta

Graphic Runner v0.0.18 Java Beta

This release replaces the old interpolation-only upscale with genuine offline
AI enhancement while keeping Graphic Runner fast, local, and source-private.
The public repository and release contain compiled downloads and user
documentation, not application source code.

New: offline AI upscale

• Photo / General uses the Real-ESRGAN x4plus model for photographs and
  mixed artwork.
• Art / Logo uses the illustration-focused x4plus-anime model for cleaner
  drawn edges and graphic artwork.
• Both modes offer 2x, 3x, and 4x output. The model runs at its trained 4x
  scale and Graphic Runner cleanly reduces the complete result when 2x or 3x
  is requested.
• Images are processed locally through Vulkan. Nothing is uploaded and no
  backend account is required.
• Classic: Fast remains available as the compatibility fallback when the
  graphics driver cannot run the AI engine.
• AI jobs use bounded 256-pixel tiles, a 64-megapixel working limit, delayed
  loading feedback, and leave the original layer unchanged if inference fails.

The bundled Real-ESRGAN models and ncnn Vulkan runner are distributed under
their upstream licenses. Full attribution and license text are included in
THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt inside every package.

Windows

Use GraphicRunnerInstallBeta.exe (recommended) or
GraphicRunnerInstallBeta.msi. Java and both offline AI models are included.

The packages are not digitally signed yet. SmartScreen may show Windows
protected your PC. Verify the checksum, choose More info, confirm the
application name, and select Run anyway. Do not disable Microsoft Defender
or SmartScreen.

Native Linux

• graphicrunner_0.0.18-1_amd64.deb is the native Ubuntu/Debian x64 package.
• GraphicRunner-Linux-x64-0.0.18.tar.gz is the portable native x64 bundle.

Both include Java and the Linux AI engine/models. The DEB declares
libvulkan1; portable users need that standard Vulkan runtime and a current
Vulkan-capable Intel, AMD, or NVIDIA driver.

Install the .deb with:

sudo apt install ./graphicrunner_0.0.18-1_amd64.deb

Or unpack and run the portable build:

tar -xzf GraphicRunner-Linux-x64-0.0.18.tar.gz
./GraphicRunner/bin/GraphicRunner
