Roop utilizes a two-step process for face swapping. First, the AI image is rendered completely, and then the face from the roop image is applied to the created AI image. This distinction becomes apparent during the rendering process, where the image appears finished but takes longer as the face is applied.

• Drag an image in the Roop expansion panel

  

• "Enable" Roop by checking the checkbox.

• Click "CodeFormer" from the Restore Face options.

• Create both a positive and negative prompt.

• Click "Generate"

• The ultimate outcome is the creation of a stunning face resembling Angelina Jolie, generated using your own input prompt.

To achieve the best results with Roop, there are a few considerations to keep in mind:

• Ensure that the face in the photo is not obstructed by objects such as hair or accessorie

• Check the Box "Restore Faces".

  

• The face didn't get swapped? Did you click "Enable"? If you did and your command prompt console doesn't show any errors, it means roop detected that your image is either NSFW or wasn't able to detect a face at all.
