What does the Checkpoints subtab entail? Checkpoints are pre-trained models that have acquired knowledge from image sources, enabling them to generate new images based on their learned expertise. As we delve into our endeavor to create captivating oil painting images, selecting the appropriate checkpoint is crucial.

Today, our focus is on realism, leading us to select the fittingly named "Photon" checkpoint as our starting point. With its commitment to lifelike rendering, this checkpoint assures that our final oil painting will resonate with authenticity and richness. Join us as we delve into the creative process, drawing inspiration from the precision of the "Photon" checkpoint to produce captivating visual marvels.

Next, we'll proceed with the optimal base settings tailored for seamless image inference with the "Photon" checkpoint.

Let's begin by adjusting some essential parameters located on the left side of the dashboard. Considering our selection of the "Photon" realistic checkpoint, we recommend employing the "DPM++ 2M Karras" model for optimal performance.

For smoother rendering, we advise setting the sampling steps to a minimum of 20. This balance between detail and rendering time ensures efficient processing while maintaining high-quality results.

Regarding batch size, feel free to customize it according to your preferences, bearing in mind that larger values may lead to longer rendering times. In our example, we'll set the batch size to 2 for optimal performance.

Additionally, we'll choose PNG as the preferred file format, while the default aspect ratio (1:1) should meet our requirements.

Key Settings:

• Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras
• Sampling Steps: 20 (minimum recommended)
• Batch Size: 2
• File Format: PNG
• Aspect Ratio: 1:1

These settings are tailored to ensure seamless rendering with the "Photon" checkpoint, delivering realistic and captivating visual outcomes.

We'll navigate to the "LoRa's" tab in the top navigation bar, where we can enhance our final image output with specific features. To infuse our image with a captivating oil painting effect, we'll move to the "Style" subtab. Within this section, we'll select the "Oil Painting" LoRa and increase its weight to the maximum value (LoRa weight of 1). Keep in mind that a higher weight value will result in a more prominent application of the oil painting effect on the final output image(s).

You have the option to include up to three Loras at once. However, for this demonstration, we'll solely incorporate the "Oil Painting" style LoRa. Feel free to explore different Loras for various artistic effects or styles as you see fit.

Note: Incorporating multiple LoRas can potentially lead to image distortion. Therefore, exercise caution when adding additional LoRas to ensure optimal image quality.

At this crucial stage, construct a compelling prompt by integrating keywords, separated by commas, to intricately depict the desired image. Whether creating a character or emphasizing broader elements, ensure a comprehensive range of descriptors. When crafting characters, include details like age, hair color, eye color, clothing style, body shape, background, and more.

Alternatively, utilize global keywords to represent non-character aspects of the final image output. The negative prompt contains keywords indicating elements to avoid in the final image.

For our example, we'll focus on a female subject. See the prompt below:

• Prompt: french woman, long brown hair, brown eyes, red lips, front view, cleavage, red dress, sensual, big boobs, front view, upper body, big red lips
• Negative Prompt: worst quality, low quality, lowres, monochrome, bad anatomy, deformed, disfigured, mutation hands, mutation fingers, extra fingers, missing fingers, watermark

Now it's time to click "Generate" and sit back while your generations complete.

Once the rendering is finished, it's time to display some impressive examples of oil painting art. Check out the collage we've prepared for you below.
