We use it to get consistent results, otherwise only 30% of the generated images have the right composition. For example, Astria has its own trick to increase the number of headshot in frame, if you download the checkpoint and run it locally

@xupybd, cool idea, it could maybe capture the essence of you while still injecting some perturbations into the final rendering to break facial recognition. If you want to experiment thatwith your photos I'm available on DM: twitter.co

You don't relate to the message? I'm curious to know what is the first thing you would change

It's a cool idea to simplify the input as you said, though as @dorkwood pointed out this would lead to bad results with a lot of overfitting, this model needs a lot of variation to only register your facial features as "you",

Hmm to be honest I just reused the most restrictive license of the tools that compose the app. I guess I should rephrase to something like "The rights of the images are transferred to the user who purchased the service" or hire a

Seeing examples from happy users might help? Or a refund policy could seal the deal? :)

Thanks, feedback well received! I do have a new pipeline that I'm experimenting with and it's much more realistic (hopefully realistic enough to end this emoji feeling). If you are interested in trying, we can talk in DM: twitter.

Thanks! Great idea. I will probably experiment something. Allowing some flexibility in the types of costumes might be tricky though (today it's easy because I only allow for a few outfits for "business" looks).

What if the cracks were imperceptible in the next iteration or two? Would you still say it's a noob trap? _Genuinely interested in your feedback_

It's not the first time that I hear that, thanks for your radical candor :) and to be frank too, I was also sharing that feeling of a fantasy made to mimic reality when I started this project. It all started when we started to argue wi

Would you mind to share which mobile device you are using? Asking because it seems to work well on Android and iOS devices that I have at home.

Thanks for the feedback, I do have a new pipeline in the making that aims at improving the photorealism just tested it today with a few users (if you want to try, I can run it manually you, DM me on Twitter @_dulacp) Out of curiosity, whic

Could probably add GFPGan to my pipeline to remove these eyes artifacts. Thanks for the candid feedback :) I will double down on that

Fair point :) I feel at this stage only early adopters might try it, but with the next iteration or two I'm feeling this gap will be closed

Astria is a great service, but doesn't have ControlNet integrated to the best of my knowledge. So, if you really want to reproduce this on your own without using a service like ours, I would advise to: i) train a model with Astria, ii)

Thanks, interesting because I thought that the styles pictures (available after clicking on the call to action) would serve as samples but I guess I should put them on the homepage directly. I will try that tomorrow (European timezone ^^)

Indeed, and I consider myself part of that group! Thanks for the feedback. I can probably lower this requirement to a minimum of 5, while mentioning to the user that the more pictures the merrier for the model
