How to Generate Your Own Yearbook Photo with Stable Diffusion

Are you tired of seeing everyone on social media using an expensive app to generate their own yearbook photo? Well, guess what? You don't have to spend a Fortune anymore because I'm here to show you how to do it using Stable Diffusion. In this article, I'll guide you step-by-step on how to create your very own yearbook photo using Stable Diffusion without breaking the bank. So, let's dive in!

1. Introduction

If you've been active on social media lately, you've probably come across the latest AI trend of generating yearbook photos. However, most people are using paid apps to achieve this. In this article, I will introduce you to Stable Diffusion, a free alternative that allows you to create your own yearbook photo effortlessly.

2. Prerequisites

Before we begin, there are a few prerequisites you need to install. First, download Visual Studio Community by following the link provided in the description. Once downloaded, open the application and select the Python development, desktop development with C++, and Visual Studio extension development options. Install these components and proceed to the next step.

3. Installing Stable Diffusion

To install Stable Diffusion, open the application and navigate to the "Extensions" tab. Click on the "Available" tab and search for "Root." There should only be one option available, so install it. After installation, go back to the "Installed" tab and click "Check for updates." Apply any updates and restart the user interface. Once completed, ensure that you have version 0.0.2 of RP or the latest version installed.

4. Using RP with Any Image

RP works with any image, and I will discuss how to use it with various images in a future video. However, for the purpose of creating a yearbook photo, we will use a yearbook Laura. You can download this Laura by following the link provided in the description. After downloading, drag the Laura file into your models stable diffusion folder. Refresh your models, and the Laura should appear in your models list.

5. Using a Yearbook Laura

Open Stable Diffusion and navigate to the "Extensions" tab. Click on the "Available" tab and type "yearbook Laura" in the search bar. Install the yearbook Laura extension. Once installed, go back to the "Installed" tab and click "Check for updates." Apply any updates and restart the user interface. Now you're ready to start using Stable Diffusion to create your yearbook photo.

6. Customizing the Image

To create a yearbook photo, you need to provide a reference image. Choose an image where the face is relatively unobscured. For this Tutorial, I will be using a reference image of Simon Cowell. Drag and drop the image into Stable Diffusion and click "Enable" to activate the process. You can leave the default settings as they are for now. In the future, I will discuss these settings in more detail.

7. Testing with Simon Cowell

To test the yearbook photo generation, use the reference image of Simon Cowell. Once the image is loaded, you can adjust the settings according to your preferences. Remember, RP focuses mainly on the facial features, so if you want to customize other aspects such as hairstyle or background color, make sure to provide additional details. Click "Generate" to create your yearbook photo.

8. Trying Funny Use Cases

Stable Diffusion allows for fun and creative use cases. For example, let's try generating a yearbook photo of Albert Einstein. Remove the black hair setting and select white hair instead, representing Einstein's iconic look. Although the generated photo may not be historically accurate, it adds a humorous twist to the concept of a yearbook photo.

9. Generating Albert Einstein's Yearbook Photo

As Stable Diffusion is not limited to specific individuals, we can explore the possibilities of generating yearbook photos for famous personalities like Albert Einstein. By providing the necessary prompts and settings, we can create a younger version of Einstein's yearbook photo. Keep in mind that using a younger reference image produces more realistic and accurate results.

10. Analyzing Taylor Swift's Yearbook Photo

Let's analyze how Stable Diffusion handles a yearbook photo of Taylor Swift. By slightly modifying the prompts and settings, we can generate an image that closely resembles a typical yearbook photo of Swift. Pay attention to how Stable Diffusion accurately captures facial features, including details such as eyeliner, resulting in a visually appealing yearbook photo.

11. Conclusion

Stable Diffusion provides a cost-effective and accessible way to generate your own yearbook photo. With tools like RP and the yearbook Laura, you can create personalized yearbook photos for yourself or even have some fun by turning celebrities back in time.
