If after installing the Extension, nothing shows up in the Extras tab, it's usually caused by failing to install the dlib
package. To solve it:
From my brief searching, you need to install cmake
first, then try installing dlib
again
pip install dlib
or
sudo apt-get install cmake
Easier Way
Intended Way
After installing this Extension, there will be an Old Photo Restoration section in the Extras tab
Process Scratch
or Face Restore
is also enabled)
