DeepEnhancer
#24
Hi Selur,

Thanks for your feedback—totally understandable regarding DeepEnhancer’s contrast handling. It does tend to be a bit aggressive and might not be the best default choice for all clips, especially if a more subtle restoration is desired.

Still, I’ve found it surprisingly effective on very old footage, particularly from the 1920s–40s, where it manages to remove large blotches and stains that even Spotless and DeDot sometimes struggle with. I agree that BasicVSR++ is great for chroma repair and compression artifacts, but DeepEnhancer seems to go further in cleaning up physical damage, even if a bit heavy-handed.

In the end, it's great to have multiple tools available depending on the situation. The flexibility Hybrid and HAVC offer makes it possible to test and choose the best one for each clip—which is a huge strength!

Thanks again for your thoughts and for keeping everything so customizable.

Best regards
