The baseline model is completely contained and requires no extra installation.
## Usage
Main Model: Open a file explorer and navigate to the "Use Palettenet" folder. Open a terminal in the "Use Palettenet" folder. Drop any .jpg you like into the folder and rename it "image.jpg". Run the command "python PaletteNetUse.py" for the ablated model with no adversarial training (looks better) or run "python PaletteNetUseAdv.py" to try the model with adversarial training.
You will be greeted by 4 color pickers in succession, each color you pick represents a colour in your 4-color palette. The new file will then save as "pict256.png" after all of the pyplot figures are closed.

Baseline Model: Open a file explorer and navigate to the "Use Photo Recoloring" folder. Open the "Index.html" file with a web browser such as chrome, and follow the on screen instructions to add a photo. Clicking the circular coloured buttons at the bottom will allow you to change colors. When finished, click confirm and then wait for the image to generate.

Thank you for the public post.
This project would not have been possible without the use/accessibility of the following models:
My main model is a modified version of Palettenet: https://github.com/yongzx/PaletteNet-PyTorch
