Upon registering for Next Diffusion, you'll discover a dashboard furnished with complimentary tokens to kickstart your experience. After logging in, head over to the "face" tab where you can upload your initial image. This image serves as the foundation for the transformation into a cartoon-style image. Whether it's a portrait, a person, or something entirely different, the choice is yours! Please keep in mind that a portrait-style image is most suitable for transforming it into a cartoon-like depiction.

• Go to the "face" tab, upload your initial image.
• Drag and drop an image onto the canvas and confirm the upload.
• Enable "Use image as reference" checkbox.

To transition our initial image into a cartoon style, we'll start by heading to the "checkpoints" subtab located in the top navigation bar. Here, we'll select a suitable cartoon style checkpoint for image inference. We will specifically opt for a cartoon style checkpoint called "DreamShaper." This selection ensures a cohesive and appealing transformation aligned with our cartoon aesthetic goals.

Feel free to experiment with any cartoon checkpoint you prefer to determine which best suits your requirements.

Now, let's fine-tune some essential settings located on the left side of the dashboard. Given our selection of a cartoon checkpoint, it's recommended to employ the "DPM++ 2M Karras" sampler to achieve smoother results. When it comes to sampling steps, a value of 30 provides a balance between detail and rendering time. It's worth mentioning that opting for higher sampling steps results in more detailed images but also extends the rendering time.

You can adjust the batch size as per your preference, keeping in mind that higher values will increase rendering time. For our example, let's set the batch size to 2 and select PNG as the file format. The default aspect ratio (1:1) meets our needs adequately.

• Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras
• Sampling Steps: 30
• Batch Size: 2
• File Format: PNG
• Aspect Ratio: 1:1

Before clicking on "Generate" it's essential to craft a prompt using keywords separated by commas. In our case, since we're utilizing the "use image as reference" option with the face upload, we're not adding too many keywords. The final output will aim to mimic most of the features from the original image. However, feel free to include some specific keywords if desired. Our prompt is as follows:

• Prompt: 30 year old woman, green eyes, upper body, looking at viewer, front view
• Negative Prompt: worst quality, low quality, lowres, monochrome, greyscale, bad anatomy, deformed, disfigured, mutation hands, mutation fingers, extra fingers, missing fingers, watermark

Once all settings are configured, it's time to click on "Generate." Sit tight as the image generation process completes, and get ready to witness some fantastic cartoon transformations!

Now that the rendering is complete, we'll begin by showcasing our initial image example discussed in this article. Following that, we'll present some additional cartoonized images for your viewing pleasure!
