**Ray Flint and the CHeating Wife** - Hotel Lobby Mystery - 51/65 --- Not too original - noir detective. May well be a story in this, perhaps a graphic novel with GPT2

I also use the DB fix now whenever I prompt for GPT2. Decent monitor but not amazing. And the comment was very specific about the comparison image where it looked pretty obvious to me

Thanks. This was before I discovered the how to ensure decent image quality in GPT2.

Cool, I like the graphic novel vibe

Yeah, I think your prompt blocked most of the artifaciting problem. I don't have a good one of mine to show you as I don't post those and now I use DB's fix. This one of archangeltara shows the problem. The impasto often shows a white pinpoint artifacting instead of a more graduated highlighting of light on the paint's peaks. https://budgetpixel.com/p/44425. When you pull back from the image, like when you see an image on a gallery or their feed, the artifacing is more obvious. I just don't see that much with yours. You must have a much better monitor than mine if you see roughness in your work. Your prompting is very very good. I needed db's fix especially on img-to-img where GPT2 does it a lot more if you use a background from a previous image for a new image.

I just think your monitor or your eyes are much better than mine.
