The material is based on photo prints I produced using a specific chemistry known as LITH in the photo lab. The paper, sourced from the company "Mimosa" in Kiel, originates from the 1960s. LITH, short for Lithography, is a photochemical process where certain areas of the paper become reactive while others do not when exposed to light. This process takes place in the photo lab. The paper from "Mimosa" in Kiel offers ideal properties for this process due to its optimal surface and texture. The combination of high-quality paper and precise application of LITH chemistry allows for the faithful reproduction of the finest details and nuances of the photo prints. The result is prints of remarkable quality and resolution, applicable in various fields such as art, photography, and graphic design, where precise and aesthetically pleasing reproduction is crucial.

The resulting images are really great and come close to the old film stocks..
Do you plan to release an SDXL version also?
Since you also shared the training material, it should be easily doable by using the LoRa trainer on civitai.
hello. i am fascinated that my material is so well received. although: fascinated is not the right word, i am emotionally touched. thank you for the praise.
to answer your question: i will train an SDXL version and release it this week! :-)
@wobushannes325 you are welcome. Coming from a hobbyist photo context, i really love the idea of bringing old film stock into the AI world. Personally i enjoy shooting with Fuji and their film simulations.
@SnapMind well. i really like working with the old russian medium format cameras and expired material from the 80s and 90s. but my main focus is paper work in the photo lab and that mostly involves the lith process on extremely old paper. this weekend i'm getting "gaslight paper" from 1900 and i assume that i'll also build a lora from it.
thanks for the "TIP". :-) if you live in germany: talk to me privately, i still have a lot of old c41 films from the former gDR in my photo lab, unexposed and i don't need them anymore.
