    Using a set of 25 mainly old large format photos from the 19th and early 20th century I wanted to capture the lighting, expression and film artifacts from this era. Subjects range in age, gender & ethnicity with poses generally looking at the camera with a neutral expression.

    While only a couple of my source images had distressed frames, plenty of the generations contain them.

    SD2.1 - 768 model. Trained with 6000 steps using The Last Ben.

    Use oldpt as keyword.

    I've also included a .yaml (click config on the download arrow) as i needed this to sit beside the checkpoint to run in the Auto1111 gui.

    Hot tip : Using SoCalGuitarist's embeddings adds some extra flavor.

    example prompt:

    • oldpt woman photograph, full body, large format, AnalogFilm768-BW-Modern

    Keen to see what everyone comes up with!

    Hi!

    "This checkpoint includes a config file, download and place it along side the checkpoint."

    Can you help me with this? .. the yaml file does not work. I'm trying to use the model in Invoke AI loader.

    TypeError: LatentDiffusion.__init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'personalization_config'

    hmmm, if mine doesn't work you can duplicate the SD 2.1 yaml
