    Style Description

    • highly-saturated postcard-like colors, flat high-key lighting, strong rim-lighting, 40s and 50s lifestyle

    Recommended Usage

    • Your prompt must include "tchnclr style"
    • Use CFG of 7 or 8 for best results
    • The model was trained with and excels at closeup portraits of men and women
    • Try including "glitter" in your prompt!
    • Putting "b&w" as a negative prompt will help ensure color image

    Known Limitations

    • It strongly tries to insert 40s and 50s hairstyles, clothing, and scenery
    • As you can see from the examples, you can insert some modernity and blend with other styles. But if your prompt insists on all modern elements, the technicolor effect may disappear.
    • The model tends to turn men into women. It also likes to add hats!

    Training Process

    20 images from movies filmed in technicolor, 200 photo-like classifiers, 6000 steps, using the Dreambooth Extension for Automatic1111.

    Description

    New in version 2
    • higher quality output
    • better match to the technicolor style
    • greater flexibility for diverse prompts
    • not strictly 1950's imagery
    Recommended Usage
    • Add "tchnclr" and/or "1950s" to enhance the technicolor effect
    • The model was trained with and excels at closeup portraits of men and women
    • The model makes beautiful hair, and describing the hair style helps
    • Generating at 1024x with hires fix produces much better results than 512
    • Use CFG of 4-7 for best results. Yes, 4!
    Known Limitations
    • Faces tend to look similar. To avoid this, prompt a celebrity at low weight or use an alternating prompt, e.g "[woman|celebrity-name]"
    • The more modernity that the prompt contains modern elements, the weaker the technicolor effect
    • Blending with other artists and art styles reduces the technicolor effect but is worth trying
    Training Process
    • d8ahazard's Dreambooth Extension for Automatic1111 webUI
    • 40 high-quality training images from movies filmed in technicolor, manually captioned
    • a version with 600 photo-like classifiers merged with a version with no prior preservation to balance style and flexibility
    • 12,000 steps with a 2e-7 learning rate
