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..…

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

much more robust techniques and in-between steps.

You can try it for free with coupon:777.

We'll appreciate if you happy with the results in your socials, and fill the feedback-form to us to improve.

At FeatureBase, we did a form with a few prompts building entries for everyone to fill out, which we then sent to Dalle2: https://www.featurebase.com/about More than a few of us didn't want our images on the Internet, so this was a good compromise.

This is a great idea. Matt Jaffee wins it for me - coffee sloth!

Although impressive, many of the photos shown can't be passed off as authentic headshots. Many of the photos linked in the landing page itself have issues. Example [1]. But even if I ignore them most of them, there is something off. Maybe I am biased because I know it's AI-generated, but I also feel they look too polished for the real world. The facial skin isn't generally this perfect. And the bokeh looks like it ha…

hands and fingers are frequently off in the landing page shots, although the example you've highlighted is particularly bad. I found a couple where the fingers are correctly formed but the proportions are wrong, e.g. [0]

Great idea, and it may really work. The price point looks right for corporate clients, although a lower price point for a small number of photos for private individuals would be nice. Nobody cares if the photo looks a bit retouched. It'll look great on the team webpage or on LinkedIn. Can I make a suggestion? A similar service is needed for dating purposes. Most people on dating websites have awful photos, the kind y…

Do you think those ones are valid: https://www.metuktakim.co.il/dating.png ? It's on different(more localized service in Israel) Called: https://www.metuktakim.co.il/ Which is well-dressed in Hebrew :)

The individual himself looks good - a bit of a PUA, but good. One picture with a blurred background is fine (for example, the golfing one) - but all of them is suspicious. And it's important to have at least one picture including other people (although it's acceptable to blur third-party faces in a dating context). Otherwise the guy comes across as a loner; and women are very picky about not dating serial killers.

BTW, that was a comment on the first set of pictures. The selection on the website is much more complete. It's perfect. But it might be worth inserting additional (AI-generated?) individuals on a few of them.

How is this different / better than the other submission: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35241212

Looks highly inspired by my other product https://www.profilepicture.ai which I launched back in October.

I signed up on profilepicture.ai and paid, but have changed my mind before uploading photos. There is no way to contact you through the site for a refund because the live chat isn't working and there isn't a support email. Also, when I search the help desk no content is returned. How can I reach you?
