HR result is not similar to source image.

Thank you for your impressive work and for sharing the code.
I put two png images into input folder:

size	256x256	32x32
input
result

Moreover if I downscale enhanced image back to 32x32 I got very different thumbnail from the original one:

Could you assist me what am I doing wrong and how to reproduce results from paper?

Hi, I suspect it may have to do with the input resolution you're using. What scale factor are you set to? Here are the results I get with the default x32 scaling (bicubically upscaling the 256x256 image to 1024x1024) using the Colab, an easy way to verify your results:

Let me know if you have further issues. I'll be uploading a ReadME with instructions on how to use the code in the next 1-2 days that may clarify some things.

I've uploaded the README that hopefully addresses some of your questions, please give it a look. If you use the align_face.py script your problem should go away and you should get similar results to the Colab (image in my previous comment).
