Realistic princess

Do you wonder what a Disney Princess looks like in real life? Now you can imagine with a little help from AI. This is a simple workflow for generating realistic princesses in a fantasy forest.

You will learn how to generate high-resolution images like these in this article.

Software setup

We will use AUTOMATIC1111 Stable Diffusion GUI to create images. You can use this GUI on Windows, Mac, or Google Colab.

Windows or Mac

We will need the henmixReal v4.0 model. Download URL:

https://civitai.com/api/download/models/70458?type=Model&format=SafeTensor&size=pruned&fp=fp16

Follow the instruction to install the model.

We will use 4x-UltraSharp upscaler. See the Upscaler article for installation.

You will need to have the ControlNet extension installed. See the ControlNet tutorial for installation instructions.

We will use ControlNet Tile Upscale. We will need the Ultimate SD upscale extension installed. See this article for installation.

Google Colab

If you use our site’s Google Colab notebook, you need to select the following two extensions.

• ControlNet
• Ultimate SD upscale

And download the model using the Model_from_URL field. Put in:
