Men's Magazines alterations

[bleumune]

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be appreciative.

That face begs for a re-work in AI.

Okay, but how do I go about doing that? I've become aware of some possibilities from other artists posting amazing photo-realistic images, but how did they do it? Please explain, and use small words, because all my expertise has gone into learning to get decent images with Daz3D and a little photoshop postwork.

Terrific redo bleumune. I ask would you post it at SD forum or can I repost it at SD forum. Will Burner

Will, you always have my permission to post stuff at SD! Thanks for your interest!

Here's a quickie one-off from an image I found in my files. I think it might have come from a magazine of some type, but I re-imagined it as an execution scene from a dystopian future where judicial punishments have become quite draconian, with public executions and witnesses.

UMmmmm..... roast girl.

I just trained the untrainable LL, so for you it should be easy.

1. Make sure you have a video card made in the last 6 years or less.
2. Goto https://github.com/lllyasviel/Fooocus
3. Scroll to Windows section, press >>> Click here to download <<<
4. Wait.
5. Wait some more.
6. In the folder Fooocus hit run_realistic.bat
7. In the browser screen that will appear click INPUT IMAGE BOX, then INPAINT or OUTPAINT tab
8. Click to upload in the box and load your image
9. Using the adjustable cursor mark the head area that need to be enhanced/replaced.
10. Where it says TYPE PROMPT HERE put a few words to describe what you expect (screaming, clenched teeth, crying, whatever, experiment with those)
11. Click ADVANCED
12. On the SETTINGS tab, increase the IMAGE NUMBER to 8 or 10 from default 2.
13. Click GENERATE
14. Choose one that you like. Be aware the algorithm produces a lot of garbage, so multiple attempts might be needed.
15. If you can afford the extra time, in the MODEL tab use REFINER option.

With a decent card you can generate those replacements, like 10 attempts in less than 2..3 minutes.

Have fun.

PS Credit to Nyghtfall3D, as he pointed me toward the easiest (and most private) path. I would hate to need to upload anything online for processing.

The very first try came like this. If you do some 10 to 100 attempts you can get something better, for sure. Or if you use more explicit prompt. I only use 'shouting'.

This one looks like Meghan Markle, quite a turn off to me.

bleumune I believe your redo Fiery Fem's manipulation at SD forum.
It's not important as to the original picture the Manipulation came from as it is fair game.
It just may not have been from magazine artwork. No harm no fowl. Still terrific poser artwork. Will Burner
