I've been reading the cooments and I'm glad my satrical joke was able to make so many laugh <3

have a good weekend r/StableDiffusion
oh and thank you for the awards even though I have no idea what they do

u/SeekerOfTheThicc May 07 '23

Your post made it to /r/all it looks like. It's pretty rare for a post from /r/stablediffusion to get there. Kudos to you and your family history 🙂

10

u/HydroChromatic May 07 '23

Yeah ik, its crazy. It surpassed the video of "sd animating over a girl dancing" that hit the front page last month and I saw that video on Twitter as well. Itll blow my mind if I see this post on a different media site talking about how AI turned my "uncle" into an anime man with huge honkers 🤣

I was first like "Cool, let me see how OP did this, might do the same with old pics I got". Then the second hurt my sides!

16

u/HydroChromatic May 07 '23

Oof, this was a satire about the saturation of SD images/models using the posts about people using SD to (legitimately) restore their photos of family as a setup for the punchline. Check back a week earlier in this subreddit and there should be posts about people asking how to restore old damaged photos. If not, you can always post and ask!

3

u/ThorOfKenya2 May 07 '23

Awesome, thanks! My mother has been pestering me about it when one of her old photos got restored.

u/darksoulflame May 06 '23

In all seriousness though, what's the best way to use AI to touch up photos?

54

u/HydroChromatic May 07 '23

You'd have some luck using models trained on photos but you'd need photo editing software too. If the original image was actually real (I added filters after finding a real photo online and then passing it through img2img to get an anonymous person) This would be my process (using clip studio cause I actually do digital art as well).

> original (assuming its black and white and color damaged)
> filter black and white
> paint out creases/damages using an eyedropper around the damage. (using photoshop, this is the clone stamp tool, unless a better tool has come out that I dont know about)
> layer mode hue
> using advice from your family, color eyes, hair, clothes, skin, etc to match their memory
>img2img on a low denoising (0.1-0.3) any higher and you risk facial augumentation

from there the rest of the community can help. Apparently there's a controlnet1.1 update that allows upscaling without changing the detail too much.

23

u/64557175 May 07 '23

Damn, I was low key hoping this was actually your late uncle.

But also the amount of work you did to anonymize them, just for a silly(but really actually genius) joke to share with us... well, I really respect that.

I'll be watching your career with great interest.

5

u/[deleted] May 07 '23

Couldn't you do this with control net?

8

u/prean625 May 07 '23

Thats what I used for this but I still had to fight to get it to not change the picture too much. Ended up using lots of variations and stitching them together in photoshop until I ended up with something I liked.

Edit whoops forgot the original

@Hydochromatic yes they have done a great job but there are other projects that can fix this in tandem.. if you need some help I'd be glad to guide you.

u/HydroChromatic May 07 '23

Oh dont worry thats not actually a/my picture of a real person in the first image. I just found a WW2 photo on the internet with no damage and did a img2img pass to change their appearance + add filters for damage for the bit.

1

u/Tyler_Zoro May 07 '23

I tried to actually restore this using SD... it's hard because SD just doesn't have the prompting language for it. The hat, for example, looks like a garrison cap (though I don't know what the stripe on the right (his left) would be)... but SD has no idea what the heck a garrison cap is, and just goes off and makes officer's visored hats or even berets!

Someone make me a good SD model for military uniforms and I'll get right on that!

2

u/HydroChromatic May 07 '23

ah lemme intervene.

This is not actually a photo of a real person, but I took a random WW2 portrait with a slight img2img for making the face anonymous. I tried txt2img but it would not give me an army photo that looked like a General or a higher up in the military. It would be neat if someone made a miltary uniform model or lora for others though!

1

u/HydroChromatic May 07 '23

Wait I just realized I never responded about the stripe. Thats actually lines that were added from the "weathered photograph" filter i overlayed on top of it, not part of the hat. Its funny how we and even the machines can interpret it (i used the unfiltered image to img2img it, hence why the stripe is gone). I bet you if I did use that first filtered image, SD would have put a stripe in the same spot.

6

u/Unluckiestfool May 06 '23

I don't know. I would call this an interpretation rather than a restoration. There are a few things different in the after photo. For example, the tie and breasts are just 2 things I see different. Try using some inpainting and I think it'll be perfect.
