Hi everyone, this is my first tutorial for Youtube. I don't have a proper recording setup, so my apologies if the mic quality is trashy. Hopefully the content of the video makes up for that.
I'd like to share more processes with Stable Diffusion that are even better than this one. I told several people I would do an in depth tutorial on the upscaling process with Stable Diffusion, so that's why this is the first one.
I like this technique because it gives us each tile to modify later and I go over some Photoshop blending tips. There's even more techniques to share later, especially when it comes to creating the initial input image!
Let me know if you try out my Colab or the ideas and they help. Feel free to make suggestions as well. I'm not adding more features since I would like to improve my Python skills & port this locally, but anything we can share to push this tech further is going to be wonderful for all of us. Cheers!
