    Mainly used for face restoration, this is not a simple merge, but adds some images to the excellent checkpoints to address some of the pain points of face quality (img2img).

    CFG 6-6.5

    dpm++2m/dpm++2m_sde + Karras(It makes the skin look less smooth and more detailed.)

    dimm(It produces perfect, not-so-natural looking skin.)

    It responds positively to the following prompt words:

    1. facial features

    [Iranian/Arab/European/Asian/Indian/African/Eurasian] features

    2. Facial expression

    pain, aroused, scared, suffering, afraid, smiling, loving, sad looking, weeping, crying, laughing, angry, flirting, surprised, hateful, disgusted, excited, sorrowful, tears

    3. ClipVision

    If the face of the original image is at some unique angle, then using SAI's ClipVision feature as part of the POSITIVE ensures that the face angle remains unaltered despite the high strength denoise.

    *Also uploaded a comfyui workflow

    It contains models for:

    LEOSAM's HelloWorld XL 5.0

    *I've been using it for face restoration since Ver4. But up until Ver5, it still looked like it lacked a dataset of portraits of people at certain camera angles and face orientations. That was my pain points in using it, hence this release.

    JuggernautXL_RunDiffusion_TensorV7

    dpo-sdxl-text2image-v1

    and 2 lora files that I trained myself on this basis

    The training material uses the following models:

    Expressions XL

    merge method:

    1. JuggernautXL_RunDiffusion_TensorV7 add dpo-sdxl-text2image-v1

    2. train lora (Close-up pics of faces from various angles and ethnicities. LyCORIS-Full)

    3. merge to LEOSAM's HelloWorld XL 5.0

    4. train lora (Pics with various expressions from multiple angles and ethnicities. LyCORIS-Full)

    5. Merge lora to checkpoint

    Description

    Add face angles, portraits by race, facial expression data

    Hi. What is SAI's ClipVision? I use ComfyUI and haven't seen it before.

    If you're using ipadapter, then maybe you've already downloaded the clipvision model.

    I've uploaded a comfyUi workflow in an attachment that you can check out

    If there is no clipvision model yet, it's here https://huggingface.co/comfyanonymous/clip_vision_g/tree/main

    @suede2031691 Thank you. I knew about Clip Vision, but didn't understand what "SAI" was. But then I realized that it was an abbreviation from Stability AI. The workflow is very useful. I found WAS Node Suite repository, it is very interesting.

    What are the advantages over Reactor?

    You mean like Code Former?

    I'm not sure what the REACTOR you mention is. This model is just a better option for those who already need Face Restoration (controlled by prompt). Because it adds pictures of faces at extreme angles and orientations for training.

    @suede2031691Sounds great. Does this cover male and female? A range of ages? A range of ethnicities? Or is it just Asian women?

    @lucidzachary473 The ethnicities data contains both males and females (more portraits, a few side view), and the FACE ANGLE and EXPRESSION data contains females of all ethnicities, with no photos of males. about age range, no statistics were made, and most of the photos that could be collected from face angles were 20+ years old.
