I've archived this LoRA for a while so I could host it over on TensorArt. You can try it out for free here or download it from my Ko-Fi page.
I thought it would be fun to be able to use the technology of the future to generate images that appeared to be taken over a century ago, so I made this LoRA.
Version 2.0 should work fine with all sorts of prompts, but consider the desired effect of the LoRA before adding stuff like color words, "perfect details," etc. Here's a link to an article I wrote about Vintage and Antique Photography Prompting, and a LoRA test.
About Real Photo Postcards (RPPCs, for short)
In 1903, Kodak rolled out a new camera: the No. 3A Folding Pocket Kodak. Produced until 1915, the 3A let customers make a postcard from any photo they took using, a service called "real photo postcards."
Author Lucy Sante writes that these vernacular postcards were very much like the folk music being made in the same places at the same time — they captured the candid, unvarnished experience of daily life. They also represented a crucial stage in the evolution of photography: a link between the formal style of the Civil War photographers like Matthew Brady, and the vision of midcentury documentarians like Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange.

Hello! what vae are you using? i got color bleeding around some areas, but overall i think it's a great lora!!!!
Wow, thank you! VAE, It depends on the model. If the main checkpoint recommends one then I will use it, if not I usually just use automatic.
Hi, thank you for great lora! Is there any tips to use this for imgtoimg?
You know, I haven't really tried! I want to try to apply it to an existing image but I am not quite good enough at the ins and outs of controlnet yet. Let me know if you have any success, okay?
Of course, I'm currently using your Lora to transform my images into an old photo style. However, it's proving to be a bit challenging. Do you have any ideas? Do you think ControlNet could be the key to assisting with this?
@hoiai that's what they told me when I asked: They said "img2img with controlnet!" And then I asked But how? And they were like "You'll have to experiment." So we're both in the dark about it I guess.
Why was this archived? - I'm looking for a vintage photo style
Hey, I'm sorry abut that. I'm applying for something over on TensorArt where the model has to be exclusive to the site. You can use it on site there, though. If things don't work out I'll unarchive this.
@RaynaPolsky Fair enough, thank you for your work, where ever it ends up.
@Undrh2o Thank you, that's such a nice thing to say. By the way, here's the link over on TensorArt: https://tensor.art/models/636518637483728698
This looks like the perfect model for me, but TensorArt is broken. Will tip for a download link/un-archive!!!
Oh no! What happens when you click the link?
Hi Moinky! I put it up for sale on Patreon, shh: https://www.patreon.com/raynapolsky/shop
请问什么时候可以开放下载，我希望和其他lora共同使用，制作好玩的图像，而不是局限于吐司有限选择。
It's a shame you've chosen to archive it and have it exclusively for on-site generation. Very disappointing when decisions are made to create limitations like that. The lora looks amazing. Hopefully I get to use it or something like it one day on my local install.
Hi, I know, I'm sorry. I wanted to see if I could make some money with it, and TensorArt requires that it be exclusive to their site. A lot of people have been complaining that they can't download it anymore. But I worked really hard on it, and spent a lot of my own money on training, and I just wanted to see if I could earn some back instead of just giving it away for free. If I start to hate it over on TensorArt I'll unarchive it. I just don't know what else to do.
@RaynaPolsky Would you accept a "donation" via paypal in exchange for it? I don't mind paying, but I want to be able to use it locally.
@snowcult Ah, you talked me into it. I set up a Patreon, which I guess I needed to do anyway. Let me know if this link doesn't work: https://www.patreon.com/raynapolsky/shop/real-photo-postcard-lora-for-stable-xl-48849
Ah, you talked me into it. I made a Patreon, which I guess I needed to do anyway. Let me know if this link gives you any issues: Real Photo Postcard LoRA for Stable Diffusion XL | Patreon
@RaynaPolsky Thanks Rayna, I've purchased over on Patreon. Hopefully it is successful for you on there, as it really is a great LoRA 🙏🏻🥳
@snowcult That's so great! I'm really happy you decided to get it. Please let me know if you have any questions at all.

What's yours you have the power to decide how it's used and you don't need to feel guilty about anyone.
I tried to download this model, but the link have a problem?!
