The sun is almost set, so grab those last warm rays while you can. With deep lilac skies and the first hint of starlight overhead, hopefully the photographer brought the bounce light reflector.

Technical Note:

It took a bit of convincing to get Stable Diffusion to create beach photos that aren’t “high noon” lighting. Photographically speaking, the term for this type of light is “blue hour,” but adding that to a prompt just makes everything blue. The trick I landed on was to use regional prompting. Create a skinny column that’s 10% of the frame, and set the background there by itself with the help of a low-light lora. Then use the other 90% of the frame for the subject. This keeps the “blue hour” description from influencing clothing and hair colors. IE: (dune grass, pre-dawn morning twilight light, (blue hour:1.5) <lora:LowRA:.5> ADDCOL)

Programming Note:

Thanks to everyone that pointed out the issues with albums in the prior post. I figured out the markdown required to host jpgs here on LemmyNSFW, but still links to the original PNGs on catbox.moe. Hopefully things work better for everyone and the various mobile apps. Let me know if you have issues. ♥️

    I’ll play around with those prompts. Thanks for the suggestions.

    The lora I’m using is called ‘downblouse (for boobs)’. I’m not sure that the parenthetical was necessary in the naming, but thats what its listed as.

      Thanks, I will have to try that. I got good results for tonal shifting using ‘cool tones’ and ‘cool color grading’ in i2i with a tile controlnet. Just don’t use the colorfix presamplers.
