For reference, here's what you can get with a properly tweaked Stable Diffusion, all running locally on my PC. Can be set up on almost any PC with a mid range GPU in a few minutes if you know what you're doing. I didn't do any cherry picking; this is the first thing it generated. 4 images per prompt. 1st prompt: https://i.postimg.cc/T3nZ9bQy/1st.png 2nd prompt: https://i.postimg.cc/XNFm3dSs/2nd.png 3rd prompt: https:…

Nice! Would you mind sharing which stable diff you used / where you obtained from?

Midjurney is still so far ahead it's no competition. Did a lot of testing today and firefly generated so much errors with fingers and stuff, not seen that since the original stability release. Anyone know if the web firefly and the Photoshop version is the same model?

It's worth noting the difference in how the training material is sourced though, Midjourney is using indiscriminate web scrapes while Firefly is taking the conservative approach of only using images that Adobe holds a license for. Midjourney has the Sword of Damocles hanging over its head that depending on how legal precedent shakes out, its output might end up being too tainted for commercial purposes, and Adobe is betting on being the safe alternative during the period of uncertainly and if the hammer does come down on web-scraping models.

Kind of strange to me that they didn't test any prompts with people in them. In my experience that tends to show the limitations of various models pretty quickly.

Lighting also tends to be pretty bad in complex scenes. I find the unrealistic shadows tends to break the photorealism of few light source scenes.

I'm presuming you're not including Stable Diffusion when you say this; the fact that SD and its variants are defacto extremely "free and open source" presently put it way ahead of anything else, and are likely to do so for some time.
