WOW excellent series & ROFL she got him back double time

I use a monitor. I had to use the magnifying glass to make them bigger and I don't still only see a little difference in the dress. The biggest difference is the skin color of the landy in black. Her skin is greyer in #1. #2 is shadded but her skin is more natura. If you do use his prompt suggestion, take out "clean background" as on some sizes it leans towards a blank background like models have in a studio. Other than that, both of his prompt suggestions work really well. I've used the simpliefied and full one a lot for GPT2 and found it very helpful.

Cool images. I don't see much difference between 1 & 2 tho. I think becasue you describe your art style a lot in gpt2, you probably have less problems with it than say someone like archangeltara who has a lot of artifacting. I think some people saw the artifacting as a type of art style . In some images it works as it adds a grungy feel. And some people like that. I like it for some night or dystopian shots.

I think the biggest visible difference is in the red dress. Looks a lot better in 2. Also 2 benefits from being landscape so looks better on the laptop than the portrait. I use the portrait for these challenge submissions since you made me consider the phone users. What are you viewing on?

Yes, there could certainly be a full story behind it. As you note in your response to Tara, the husband could be a decent fellow...

DavidP

tvm, I think so. Helped me clean up a few and used it on a first time creation to good effect

JMN
