Introduction
Are you trying to nail your photorealistic generations? Today I will review top 5 photorealistic models so you don't have to. Of course these are my opinions & models I use.
I will go over each one briefly, do a side by side comparison so you can pick the one that fits what you need. One of them is for SDXL -> Juggernaut XL
Models I will review today:
Realistic Vision V5.1 (Checkpoint merge)
CyberRealistic (Checkpoint merge)
AbsoluteReality (Checkpoint trained)
Juggernaut XL (Checkpoint merge)
epiCRealism (Checkpoint trained)
NOTE
I generated batches of 8 images with each model. After carefully reviewing each batch, I chose the best looking picture with the least amount of flaws, because I am interested not in the percentage of usable pictures, but with which model I can get the BEST & most realistic picture for each of the positive prompts. Examples of flaws:
disfigured hands
weird composition
blurry
weird angles
etc.
