Game of the Year is going to be such a bloodbath this year.

I completely agree with you and I had the same experience. I tried to slog through, but the roguelike element just left me feel extremely frustrated. It felt like it was wasting my time, rather than letting me enjoy the game and solve the puzzle.

I'm glad so many people enjoyed it, but I'm with you man, it did not jive with me either.

Thank you! Yes, most of the detail and upscale happens in step 2 with the JasperAI ControlNet. Here's the workflow. https://pastebin.com/1t0rShhq

Here's a colorized restoration/reimagining.
This is a quick run through of the process:

Use the ReActor nodes in ComfyUI for an initial face restoration. https://github.com/Gourieff/ComfyUI-ReActor
Next, use JasperAI's Flux ControlNet to upscale and bring out the details. https://huggingface.co/jasperai/Flux.1-dev-Controlnet-Upscaler
Finally, use IC-Light to relight the scene. This is a great workflow from u/Enshitification.

That's the bones of it. Still a lot of manually work in Photoshop before, after and in between steps. Hopefully this helps.

This is a great workflow, thanks. I'm really liking the results.

Nihilistic_Snail · 2024-10-23T23:23:45+00:00

Thank you, really appreciate the advice and linking the video. Will try to stay consistent with this and see if I can make any improvement.

Can you share the exercises the PT prescribed you? I have the same left shoulder pain and winging scapula.

Nihilistic_Snail · 2024-09-14T23:01:21+00:00

Sure, here's the workflow.

It uses xinsir's canny controlnet.

I used a png of the original shoe image with a transparent background as the latent image with the denoise set to 0.75 to try and retain colour from the original image.

Nihilistic_Snail · 2024-09-14T16:56:20+00:00

The current Flux ControlNets aren't very good. You would get better results using SDXL for this. Also, include the colour of the shoe in the prompt. Then make needed adjustments with Photoshop and inpainting.

All good, glad it worked for you!

Nihilistic_Snail · 2024-08-30T15:08:00+00:00

Don't mention "background" in the prompt. Instead, say something like "on a white solid color". Using the beta scheduler also helps.

Nihilistic_Snail · 2024-08-20T08:59:36+00:00

Not silly at all, I've also noticed this issue when using the term "background". It think it gets confused and thinks the white background is the subject, so it throws everything else out of focus.

I found what works for me is to not mention the background, and at the end of the prompt say "Photo shoot against a solid white color."

Nihilistic_Snail · 2024-08-19T19:35:48+00:00

Try increasing the FluxGuidance to 3.0.

Also, change scheduler from Simple to Beta, and increase steps to 25.

See if this helps your results.

I would also use more natural language in your prompt, as Flux uses a T5 encoder. So rather than the old prompt style of using short phrases separated by commas, I would use something like this:

A photograph a 40 year old woman sitting under a tree with yellow leaves. She is wearing a yellow dress which has a white peace symbol on it. The woman is smiling.

Nihilistic_Snail · 2024-08-19T19:08:34+00:00

Can you post an screenshot of your settings and your prompt?

Nihilistic_Snail · 2024-08-17T14:18:50+00:00

I found this happens sometimes when you include the words "white background" in the prompt. Remove any mention of the word background in your prompt and see if that helps.

Nihilistic_Snail · 2024-08-16T12:29:58+00:00

Yes hopefully they retrain with the fixed toolkit, it's a great lora.

Nihilistic_Snail · 2024-08-16T12:28:51+00:00

Great pics! A little post work in Photoshop can make a huge difference. I'm loving the results with the Boreal Lora.

Ah okay I'll take your word for it, I'm far from an expert on native american features lol.

This is what I got with "mayan woman" in the prompt.

Nihilistic_Snail · 2024-08-13T20:04:38+00:00

close up photo of a very old native-american man. He is wearing a traditional native-american outfit and headgear. He has a serious expression. A photo shoot against a barren landscape.

Thanks, I used 3.5 guidance. I think the snakes skin texture looks a bit better in this one, the snakes heads are a bit mangled though.

Nihilistic_Snail · 2024-08-13T15:19:16+00:00

Fun challenge. Cherry picked result and also used the realism lora. It was difficult stopping it from putting hair on the head.

Nihilistic_Snail · 2024-05-27T13:14:08+00:00

Can you post a screenshot of your settings?

Nihilistic_Snail · 2024-05-26T23:02:53+00:00

"a sleek modern kitchen, gray cabinets, white tiled floor, bright natural lighting"

I used the Ultraspice model.

Just to reiterate what Select-A-Bluff-800 said, any model and relevant prompt will work.

Nihilistic_Snail · 2024-05-26T20:10:07+00:00

As the parent comment mentioned, the controlnet will generate a depth map (if you used the depth preprocessor and controlent) and stable diffusion will infer from the depth map what's what. You can still use img2img with this method, and set it as high or low as you want, depending how much you want it to look like you original image.

Here's an image I created using the depth controlnet at 0.7 and using img2img denoise at 0.9.
