A quick guide for yoinking LORA (and other) data from downloaded images.So, you've downloaded a generated image (or did some time in the past) and want to find the prompt/LORAs/any other generation data. Assuming it's been more than 14 days since you generated the image, it will have expired on TA, so all you're left with is the image itself. Like this one that's been sitting on my drive for over a month now:(Whaaat?! Starstriker's been generating images recently but not posting them?!?!??) (Hush.)Well that's where this guide comes in. I'll be walking you through the process of extracting all of the metadata from a generated (or really any) image.All images created on TA store their generation settings as "exif" data, which stands for EI Xdon't Iactually Fknow. We can view this hidden data using a website like exif tools. Simply go to the website, upload your file, and you too can view the mess of jumbled characters the tool spits out!(Mmm. Data.)But we can actually find all the information we need here. (Though if you prettify the generation data it might be easier.) To get the LORA, press Ctrl-F and search for "modelid". Your browser will highlight all model IDs in the generation data, for both the base model and all the LORAs you used.(ModelIDs: Because "file name: dark" isn't really descriptive enough.)But how do we get from these random strings to the actual models? Simply go to your search bar, and go to tensor.art/models/<copy-and-paste-the-id-here> (So for my image that would be https://tensor.art/models/802140358898186635.) And that's it! There's a lot of other data in there if you need it, but this article was specific to LORAs.A word: This guide may fall out of date quickly. It's entirely possible for TA to change their site to break either modelIDs or URL schemas. If that happens (or you find anything else wrong in the article) I'll try to update/fix this guide. Thanks for reading!

Intro Hey there! If you're reading this, you're probably new to AI image generation and want to learn more. If you're not, you probably already know more than me :). Yeah, full disclosure: I'm still pretty inexperienced at this whole thing, but I thought I could still share some of the things I've learned with you! So, in no particular order:1. You can like your own posts I doubt there's anyone who doesn't know this already, but if you're posting your favorite generations and you care about getting likes, you can always like them yourself. Sketchy? Kinda. Do I still do it? Yes. And on the topic of getting more likes:2. Likes will often be returned Whenever I receive a like on one of my posts, I'll look at that person's pictures and heart any that I particularly enjoy. I know a lot of people do this, so one of the best ways to get people to notice and like your content is to just browse through posts and be generous with your own likes. It's a great way to get inspiration too!3. Use turbo/lightning LORAs If you find yourself running out of credits, there are ways to conserve them. When I'm iterating on an idea, I'll use a SDXL model (Meina XL) paired with this LORA. This lets me get high quality images in 10 steps for only 0.4 credits! It's really nice, and works with any SDXL model. Unfortunately, if there is a similar method for speeding up SD 1.5 models I don't know it, so it only works with XL.4. Use ADetailer smartly ADetailer is the best solution I've found for improving faces and hands. It's also a little difficult to figure out. So, though I'm still not a professional with it, I thought I could share some of the tricks I've learned. The models I normally use are face_yolo8s.pt and hand_yolo8s.pt. The "8s" versions are better than the "8n" versions, though they are slightly slower. In addition to these models, I'll often add the Attractive Eyes and Perfect Hand LORAs respectively. These are all just little things you can do to improve these notoriously hard parts of image generation. Also, using ADetailer before upscaling the image is cheaper in terms of credits, though the upscaling process can sometimes mess up the hands and face a little bit so there's some give and take there.5. Use an image editing app Wait a minute, I hear you saying, isn't this a guide for using Tensor Art? Yes, but you can still use other tools to improve your images. If I don't like a specific part of my image, I'll download it, open it in Krita (Or Photoshop or Gimp) and work on it. My art skills are pretty bad, (which is why I'm using this site in the first place,) but I can still remove, recolor, or edit certain aspects of the image. I can then reupload it to Tensor Art, and Img2img with a high denoising strength to improve it further. You could also just try inpainting the specific thing you want to change, but I always find it a bit of a struggle to get inpaint to make the changes I want.6. Experiment! The best way to learn is to do, so just start generating images, fiddling with settings, and trying new things. I still feel like I'm learning new stuff every day, and this technology is improving so fast that I don't think anyone will ever truly master it. But we can still try our hardest and hone our skills through experimentation, sharing knowledge, and getting more familiar with these models. And all the anime girls are a big plus too.Outro If you have anything to add, or even a tip you'd like to share, definitely leave a comment and maybe I can add it to this article. This list is obviously not exhaustive, and I'm no where near as talented as some of the people on this platform. Still though, I hope to have helped at least one person today. If that was you, maybe give the article a like? I appreciate it a ton, so if you enjoyed, just let me know. Thanks for reading!

Hey there! This is mostly just for personal use, I like having all of my favorite topics in one place, but feel free to use this list as inspiration if you need ideas! I liked the idea of collecting a bunch of words and elements I use and compiling them all into one list so here we are! It's subject to change, as I'll likely keep adding to and improving it, but it's a good start.So, without any further ado, and in no particular order, here are a few of my favorite things:People/Bodies:silver/white hairvery long hairside-shavered eyesgold eyesblank eyesgrey skin (really cool, but hard to get working sometimes)wingsangels/demonsautomatons (clockwork, not mecha or androids)plastic/metal skin/faceClothing:sweater dresshoodieonesie (I don't use this one a lot, but I still like it)halter topslit dressasymmetrical clothesoff-the-shouldersuitjacketexposed midriffdeep v-neckwide-brimmed hatmask (not COVID style)wet clothesdancer clothes?
