The Mystery has been resolved

Have you ever found yourself staring at a photo, completely stumped about who's in it? Yeah, me too.

This has been going on for months, scratching my head over who could be that cosplayer, and I posted a few articles using this picture, hoping someday to find a match in google lens.

Enter the hero of this story, an online gentleman by the name of cliffordpadraig, who had the answer!

With a keen eye he identified the person in the photo as none other than the fabulous Fabibi World cosplay

The mystery of the "unkown Cammy Bison cosplayer" photo  was solved, and it was all thanks to this amazing individual.

Online small act of kindness have big impact. 

It not only cleared up my confusion but also reminded me of the power of online communities. 

Here was the picture:


Fabibi, the Chilean cosplay phenomenon, has graced stages at conventions worldwide, dazzling audiences with her diverse costume creations. Cammy White in her various flavor (Classic Cammy, Killer bee Cammy, and Bison Cammy).

Once again, thank you very much, good Sir!

Generating images with Krea.ai

KREA is a website with a creative assistant and with it you can create text-to-images, alter them in a variety of ways and arrange them in a canvas.

There are basically two different way to use Krea, through the 'on the fly generation' (this is extremely disorienting as an image is automatically generated as you type!)

Or through 'Studio Projects' which is a bit messy.

These below are my first impressions on the interface, I was really impressed by the real time rendering of the image.


On the right side, you can switch to different style (default, portrait, cgi, cartoon, ...) this is just for the quick changes. A download button is here as well, but the export will be in low-resolution.

To access the finalized image, you are invited to click on rendering, then the image/enhancer/ page will open and from there the high resolution image will be tweaked and then exported.

Using the same image (as always), I was pretty happy with the result




Krea is fun because of the real-time feature, but it does not offer a large checkpoint selection, Loras etc ... It is a perfect fit for people discovering AI art, and who wants to see it working fast.

The free plan offer 3mn of runtime, but that is enough to play with Krea and generate 10 to 15 images. 

Here is a link to their documentation:

Upscaling Low-Resolution Images

In the fascinating world of artificial intelligence, one of the most impressive advancements has been the ability to upscale low-resolution images. Gone are the days when blurry or pixelated pictures were doomed to remain forever in their subpar state. 

Thanks to AI-powered algorithms, we now have the means to enhance and upscale the quality of these images, unveiling hidden details and transforming them into visually stunning masterpieces.

Let's take an example with this little picture (source unknown):


In very low quality, google lens cannot even find the source of this photo

And here is new enhanced version of based on this low quality picture


How great is that?
