And also I have question for devs, why not implement GPEN? I have asked number of times before...Is that hard?
Thanks

Implementing any arch the way i do it is difficult. As for why it was never implemented, it's because my implementation for the currently supported face models was partially based on GFPGAN's repo, which supported codeformer and restoreformer at one point.

I don't particularly enjoy adding support for new arches, so typically I wait until arches start getting used more frequently by the community. As GPEN is a bit older (and codeformer seems to basically always be better than it), I don't really have a good reason to spend time adding support for it.

If RestoreFormerPlusPlus ends up being really useful, I will definitely consider it.

Respect your time.
Consider also about implementing IMHO best open source soulution for coloring grayscale images I have tried so far:
