This is a slider for Illustrious XL, trained on SweetMix. The purpose of this slider is to allow control of the age of depicted person(s) in generated images.

The SCALED version in the same LoRA but with the age representation in +/- 2 input weight instead of the non-Scaled version's +/- 5 input weight for full age representation.

~ How to use? ~

This is a bipolar slider LoRA. That means it supports both positive and negative input weights. General safe weighting is -5 to 5 , although you can push to +/- 6 with some oddities. No activation tag required. This LoRA is not trained for NoobAI V-Pred models.

If you are using this LoRA in combination with a character LoRA, adding supporting tags can be beneficial to affect age. Since character LoRAs often have a set character age trained, it can be difficult to change that age depending on how intensely the character LoRA wants to maintain the character's "correct" age. To help overcome this, I suggest you use tags like aged up, aged down, petite , mature female, etc... as needed to help change the character's age.

~ Known issues ~

• At high input weights (> 5), the image subject may have male facial hair. Putting facial hair , mustache , old man , etc... in the negative prompt largely mitigates this.
• Very low input weights ( < 4.5) may de-saturate the image. As a temporary workaround, I recommend using a style LoRA to alleviate this.
