This LORA is trained on a dataset of 500 downscaled 4K images from Sony’s demo laserdiscs, created in the late 80s and early 90s. These laserdiscs were specifically designed for Sony’s analog HVS cameras, which were cutting-edge at the time.

Background

The laserdiscs showcased the potential of analog 4K/HD recording in an era when high-definition was still a futuristic concept. They captured a unique blend of sharp detail and analog warmth, offering a glimpse into early high-def imagery. This LORA recreates that look, letting you tap into the same retro aesthetic.

Trigger and Strength

The trigger word for this model is “analoghd”. For best results, adjust the strength based on what you’re going for. Strength between 0.7 and 1 gives a great range of outputs, but 1 can sometimes push the interlacing effect too far, making the images look less HD and more analog. Stick closer to 0.7 for a cleaner look.

Best Uses

While versatile, this LORA really shines in certain scenes. It’s ideal for cityscapes, nature, people, tropical settings, wildlife, product shots, and landscapes. If you want that blend of high-def clarity with a nostalgic analog feel, this model has you covered.
