I’m new to SD. Not exactly my forte (art or AI), but I’m having fun playing with it. I had an idea the other day, I think SD is the solution, but I don’t know how to do it.
I wanted to try putting my son into a pic. He’s into space right now and I’d love to make some art of him as an astronaut. Something better than a cut and paste of his head onto an astronaut cutout. How do I do that with SD? I can’t figure it out.
I would train a LoRA, here’s a guide (also has links to other guides at the bottom)
Ok . . . so I have a Mac M2. And have been using Diffusion Bee to avoid the terminal. But I’ll see if I can figure it out.
Much simpler way, even if not as cool: try https://apps.apple.com/app/id6444050820 that is free and great. First download a model, if you already have one you like just use the Civitai.com link, otherwise there’s a selection of them and I’d try… Realistic Visions? The 8 bit one saves you a little space. Then use the photo icon in the bottom to import a photo, you want something with the face clearly visible. Use the eraser to get rid of everything other than the face. Now try prompting for an astronaut! Should work already but you can try adding Controls: Tile, Inpainting and Pose specifically.
Performance wise you can go at the bottom of the left side, click on the cpu looking icon and select (if it’s not selected already) Use CoreML: Yes and for the CoreML compute units go with All.
My M2 Mini takes a dozen seconds for a normal generation like that. With the Control modules and Inpainting is going to be a little slower obviously but hey, it’s a fast app.
The easiest way is take a picture of your son and “inpaint” the parts that are not him with the style you want. The more difficult way would be to train a LORA. Here is a blog by someone who did exactly that. https://www.shruggingface.com/blog/self-portraits-with-stable-diffusion-and-lora

In-painting. You can selectively generate some parts of an image. So you can take pics of your son and generate the parts he isn’t in.
Roop is what you are looking for. MUCH simpler than creating a LORA. https://youtu.be/8SWon8erHZw?si=XKFDvXh0sJhF6I1D
