Actuality Mix v1 (Damascus)

Damascus is a fine blend of some of the most popular Photorealistic Checkpoints here on CivitAI. Using what I am dubbing the "Drop Merge" technique I have patiently extracted and melded the best parts of each.

Actuality is intended for Photorealistic portraits and scenes . However, if prompted the right ways, it is capable of landscapes, surrealism, and much more. Play around and see how far you can push it!

The Checkpoint consists of :

• Realistic Digital Genius

• CyberRealistic

• EpicRealism

• LRM-Liangyiu's

• RunDiffusion_FX

• Banana Mix

I recommend using the following appendages and settings:

• Highly Recommend using Dynamic Thresholds (DynThres) A1111 Extension to Achieve Uber Results and Detail! Link to DL and configuration Article HERE
