Exception: GFPGAN model not found at path ../GFPGAN\experiments/pretrained_models/GFPGANv1.3.pth

Seems like it's wrong path parameters in dream.py.

So i manually write parameters as:
python scripts/dream.py --gfpgan --gfpgan_dir ./GFPGAN --gfpgan_model_path ./experiments/pretrained_models/GFPGANv1.3.pth

Is your GFPGAN folder in the root folder of Stable Diffusion? That's where your path suggests it is. So make sure the path is correct.

Yes, GFPGAN folder in the root folder of Stable Diffusion.

(ldm) PS C:\sd\stable-diffusion> ls

+1 on this one. Checked that the GFPGAN is installed in the root folder for stable-diffusion. Might be some weird stuff with the mixed back and forward slashes ../###\###/. Don't know for sure.

The intent is that GFPGAN is in a sibling to stable-diffusion

e.g.

src\
      stable-diffusion\
      GFPGAN\

basically so if one clones GFPGAN from the parent folder of stable-diffusion it works by default.

e.g. if you're contributing to stable diffusion it's not cluttering up your commits, but also if you're not wanting to use GFPGAN at all it's not pulled as a dependency...

@Oceanswave, thank you! This moment wasn't clear for me in readme. Now i moved GFPGAN directory and all works well. Then i close issue.
