Emulates a vintage early 1900s era black &amp; white photography style. It's trained for Pony, but REQUIRES you to use one of the realistic pony checkpoints. It does not work well with the base Pony model.

The lower the CFG the older the photo tends to look. Raising the CFG too far above 4 or so will create increasingly contrasty images which breaks the illusion of realism, in my opinion.ADetailer to improve faces works sometimes, but I tend to not use it unless I really need to.When I trained this LoRA, I was originally going for a much older photography style. Something more like mid to early 1800s daguerreotype photography, or Cabinet Cards (hence the 'cabcard' trigger word). That didn't quite work out how I wanted though admittedly, as the results it produces are definitely more 1900-1930s. That's ok though, it's a fun style to play with and can produce some great images!I'll likely try again for the older style at some point, and would also like to do a later style as well, 60s-70s.
