Not to take away from this awesome product and brilliant idea, but we are all hackers here- how can(?) I do this for free?

1. Collect many good quality photos of yourself, in various lighting, directions and settings.

2. Train Stable Diffusion 2.0 to learn this new embedding, this is a bit of an art rather than a science.

3. Find a nice looking prompt with your new embedding that gives you the desired result.

4. Try ControlNet, LoRa, different base models, etc, always questioning your outputs - there's something subtlety off about them...

5. Continue to fine tune your prompt, input, masking and editing

???

N. Realise that it would have been easier to just get a photograper.

This is nice for start. You can find colabs for that todo online here:

Unfortunately, in order to get better result you need to add much more components to perform quality assurance of the photorealism.

Which we perform in here: https://www.metuktakim.co.il

How long does it usually take?
Re:Show HN: Professional headshots for remote team with AI by TheObviousOne on Tuesday March 21, 2023 @11:42AM (#35247813)
8-72 hours - as beta product we do manually QA (Human in the loop) in addition to our AI-scoring mechanism, so it depends on the traffic to our site. -Due to the fact that only the computation part takes around 2.5 hours.

But we have plans to reduce it to below half in hour in this month.
