About this version:

what's new?:

In the 2.0 I tried to make the faces more realistic and the lighting is darker.

Several Pony checkpoints and SDXL merged for generating realistic, detailed, and naturally portraits and photographs.

new version 2.0

more realistic faces and darker lighting.

***for the 2.0 lightning version use these settings:

steps:6

cfg:1-2

scheduler/sampler dpmpp_sde and beta

for darker scenes use sgm_uniform to avoid artifacts.

upscale:1.5x or 1.3x and 3 steps cfg 2.0 denoise 0.4 OR steps 2 and denoise 0.3

WORKFLOW is embedded in the images

Recommended Settings for 1.0 and 2.0

Base Generation

• Steps: 30+

• CFG-scale: 3 for more realism, 6 is cleaner

• Sampler: DPM++ 2M SDE

• Scheduler: karras for realistic skin texture, otherwise sgm_uniform or beta
