    3/4/24 update - now includes SDXL vae fix.

    This is the SDXL version of my SD1.5 model Halcyon. I'm a professional photographer and I've incorporated some training from my own images in this model. Most of the preview images are shown with no LORAs to give you an honest idea of the model's capabilities, obviously you may have better results using LORAs.

    This is a very robust model primarily focused on photorealism but capable of generating all types of images. I typically use DPM++ 3M SDE KARRAS at around 30 steps with a CFG of 5-8, however feel free to use whatever sampler and steps you find gives you the best results.

    This is not a porn model, so don't expect it to do well with explicitly sexual prompts, however it does very well with nudity and NSFW genital details-- better than most other photorealism models in my opinion.

    It's really refreshing to see people that are either artists or photographers embrace this technology instead of shunning it/ hating on it. Adding your own hand-picked photography to this really shines through and can be seen with the quality and composition this generates. Thank you so much for this wonderful model.

    Looks like I just found the checkpoint for my urban and nature scapes!

    Some enlightenment, please: how well it handles wide ratios like 16:9, and up to what image size can it generates until it start needing hires.fix?

    I really like this model, sometimes I need to use a pony model /inpainting to fix some of the details but it makes great scenes

    Pretty good model, so far I really enjoyed creating potions, treasures, fruits, icecream shops, landscapes, mini tank figures and some portraits.

    the model requires some specifity in prompt and adding intricate 'architectural design' in the prompt is useful with landscapes, also the model can leave blue marks on faces sometimes which can be fixed by adding more steps.
