Artist Looking To Hire A Coder - To Train Real-ESRGAN With My Own Curated Images - Solved

[Enstikto]

Hello community of upscaling code tech wizards,

I am an artist, and I want to train Real-ESRGAN with my own library of images. I wish to hire a coder who is very experienced with training Real-ESRGAN models. To help me. Because I have never coded in my life. Watching videos of the prompts needed, makes my head spin. I wouldn't know where to even start. But I'm good at painting artwork.. and I want to do this.

I'm not wealthy. I am only an artist. But I will pay for this help. I need to find an experienced coder to help me, in exchange for payment.

Reason for wanting to "train" my own model:
I installed chaiNNer and combed through many open-source models. Through countless models. But all of them inject halos on the edges of brush strokes, colored pixel artifacts by the edges of brush strokes, sharpening effects on the edges of brush strokes, change of color and lightness from my original painting, and many other garbage into my upscaled paintings.

I paint images myself (without AI), and I want to upscale my artwork without decreasing the quality of my images in any way. All of these "restoration" models found online inject trashy artifacts and colored pixels that are not in my artwork to start with. I don't want this to happen. These free "restoration" models are an improvement for people who start with a poor quality image. But they are a worsening of quality, for people like me, who start with a pristine quality image.

This is why I wish to "train" my own model.

I would create a library with at least 100 pristine quality images. In 4X size. And the 4X smaller corresponding tiles. But before I make this colossal effort into making images for training a model. I need to find a coder who would be willing to help me, in exchange for payment.

I need help from an experienced upscaling coder. I'm not a coder. I wish to pay a coder to help me do the training. With my images. I would wish to find an experienced coder who works with Real-ESRGAN. Not a rookie... Not a beginner please. I don't want to waste money. I wish this effort to yield fruit. Not flush money down the tubes. I want the model to be compatible with chaiNNer. So that I am able to use it myself.

I have not created my library of images yet. I want to find someone who would be willing to help me first. Before I go ahead and make this colossal effort and build my library.

Is there anybody out there, who would be willing to train the Real-ESRGAN model for me, with my own images? If so, I wish to get in contact with you to discuss your experience, and how much you would consider a fair payment for training this model.

I don't want to share too much personal information on this forum. I wish to find a willing coder first, and then in private email contact, I can share my website with the coder, and prove to them I'm really an artist. I just wish to find someone who would be willing to work with me on this!

Thank you for your consideration,
Looking for an experienced upscaling AI training coder!
Thank you,

Update - I found upscale models that do exactly what I was envisioning. Tucked away in CivitAI. So it's been solved. No longer need to pay someone.

I wish to delete this discussion. But there is no option for me to. Could someone who works here delete it? Thank you!!
