Faded 80s Photo Album

By - arsibalt Step back in time with the Faded 80s Photo Album LoRA. Trained on genuine scans of careworn family photos that were printed at a Sears photo counter around 1984 and stored in clear plastic sleeves that aren't very clear after all this time. Usage note: you need to CRANK UP THE STRENGTH if you have: a checkpoint with strong styles built right in other style LoRAs that pull in a different direction prompt text that pulls in a different direction ("saturated colors", "sharp focus" etc) Try a strength of 2.0 in such cases, and adjust from there! Otherwise, on vanilla Krea 2 use strength 0.8 to 1.0.
Creator notes
You found a dusty photo album on your grandma's bookshelf, it probably hasn't been opened in years. The aging plastic cracks a little when you open it, and the pictures inside are sun damaged and blurry. Who are all these people anyway - this one might be your great aunt? Oh wow, this one has your mom when she was a baby! Step back in time with the Faded 80s Photo Album LoRA. Trained on genuine scans of careworn family photos that were printed at a Sears photo counter around 1984 and stored in clear plastic sleeves that aren't very clear after all this time. Hot tip: you need to CRANK UP THE STRENGTH if you have: - a checkpoint with strong styles built right in - other style LoRAs that pull in a different direction - prompt text that pulls in a different direction ("saturated colors", "sharp focus" etc) Try a strength of 2.0 in such cases, and adjust from there! On vanilla Krea 2, strength 0.8-1.0 is fine, with the trigger word faded80s Happy reminiscing!

7,000°
Floor
The scale runs from 0° to 9,999°. Everything below 7,000° is kept for models no source reports on yet, which carry a stand-in number there so lists stay complete. 7,000° is where measured data begins: a model with real data but almost no downloads sits at the floor, and the measurements fill the degrees above it. The floor says nothing about the model; only the degrees above it do, and they are what separates one model from another.
+984°
Civitai downloads
1,642 downloads of this exact version on Civitai. Downloads are the heaviest ingredient and are counted on a log scale: ten times the downloads adds the same 300°, so a model with a million downloads is not a thousand times hotter than one with a thousand. The six download sources share that one term, split between them in proportion to their counts.
+323°
Likes
141 likes and thumbs up across the sources. A like weighs half a download, on the same log scale.
+95°
Adoption rate
About 18 downloads a day, measured between two readings of the sources, never guessed from a lifetime average. Speed weighs a quarter of the download term, so a fresh surge shows without letting a one-day spike outrank years of use.
+100°
Family boost
+100° because this is a LoRA of a family this site is nudging forward right now. It is a bounded nudge inside the score and is listed here openly; it can never hide a model or outweigh a thousandfold difference in downloads.
Show detailed breakdown
Every number on this site can be checked. This model's heat score is 8,502°, and here it is built one ingredient at a time, with the running total after each: the floor, the degrees each source adds, the bonus for the kind of model and what the age of its weights takes away. The colors are the bands of the chart above. The glossary at the end defines every term.
  1. 1
    Start at the floor.
    Why 7,000° and not zero: the scale runs from 0° to 9,999°, and the part below 7,000° is reserved for models no source reports on yet, which carry a stand-in number there so the lists stay complete and never outrank a model with data. 7,000° is where measured data begins. A model with real data but almost no downloads sits here; everything that follows is measurement, and the room above the floor holds ten tenfold steps in downloads at 300° each. The floor is the same for every model, so it decides nothing; the degrees above it do.

Glossary: the terms used here
Heat score
One number for how much a model is used and wanted right now, from 0° to 9,999°. Every list on this site that says hottest is sorted by it and nothing else.
Floor
The 7,000° every model with real data starts from. The scale runs from 0° to 9,999°; the part below the floor is reserved for stand-ins (models without data), so that a model with data always ranks above one without. The floor is the same for everyone and decides nothing; the degrees above it are the measurement.
Download-equivalents
Everything the score treats as a download, added up: downloads themselves, each torrent seeder as 1,000, each AI Horde image and each run on a generation site as one.
Log scale
Counting by tens, not by ones: going from 1,000 to 10,000 downloads adds the same degrees as going from 10,000 to 100,000. It keeps giants from crowding out everything else.
Likes
Thumbs up and likes from every source, worth half a download each on the log scale.
Adoption rate
How many downloads a day a model gets right now, from the difference between two readings of a source. A quarter of the weight of the download term.
Measured and estimated
Measured means two readings of a source exist and the difference is real. Estimated means only today's total is known and the past is spread over the model's life; the site says which one it is showing.
Seeder
Someone who keeps a copy of the weights online for others to download over a torrent, or a hosted mirror doing the same. Each one counts as 1,000 downloads.
AI Horde
A volunteer network that generates images for free on donated computers. The number of images it has made with a model is public, and each counts as one download.
Generation sites
Sites that host their own copies of a model and let people generate with it, such as PixAI, SeaArt and Yodayo. Their downloads count like Civitai's and each generation run as one download.
OpenRouter tokens
A text model served through an API, such as Claude or GPT, has no weights to download, so its usage is measured in tokens: the pieces of text it read and wrote through OpenRouter, a gateway many apps use, over the last 30 days. Every 10,000,000 tokens count as one download. Source: OpenRouter (openrouter.ai/rankings), CC BY 4.0.
Full model (checkpoint)
The weights themselves, the file that generates on its own. It gets a bonus because add-ons depend on it.
LoRA and embedding
Small add-on files that steer someone else's weights toward a style, a character or a concept. They cannot run alone.
Family and weights
The base a model is built on, such as SD 1.5, SDXL, Flux or Wan. Every model inherits the release date of its family's weights.
Age
Degrees taken off for how long ago the family's weights came out: 150° a year, up to 750°. It keeps old downloads that had years to pile up from freezing the top of the list.
Family boost
A small, bounded nudge for LoRAs of a family this site is pushing forward right now, always listed in the breakdown.
Stand-in score
A stable number below the floor given to a model no source reports on yet, so lists stay complete. It never ranks above a model with data.
New! (grace period)
A model less than 7 days old shows New! instead of a score and holds no place in the rankings. Its score is computed from day one, but a model one day old grows faster than anything, so without the wait the week's #1 would always be whatever came out yesterday rather than what held up for a week.
Trend
How a model's growth over a period compares with the typical model's growth over the same period. Faster than typical reads as a rise, slower as a fall.
Typical model
The middle of the catalog: half the models with a figure grew faster over the period, half slower.
How this model's popularity has moved against the rest of the catalog: its growth in downloads, likes and usage over each period, measured against the typical model's growth over the same period, with its heat score at the time. Above the typical growth reads as a rise, below it as a fall. The past is reconstructed from today's totals, the model's first day and its measured download speed where two readings exist; a model that did not exist at the start of a period shows n/a.

Her dress has a square neckline adorned with intricate gold embroidery. She is also wearing white elbow-length satin gloves and a delicate, pearl necklace with teardrop pearl pendant. Her hair is styled in an updo, and she is wearing a small, pearl hairband with a diamond-inlaid slightly tilted crescent moon centerpiece atop the hairband. She has multi point pearl earrings. She is holding a lit cigarette with a cigarette holder in the morning at a outdoor cafe table wearing black 1950s sunglasses.

Faded80s. Photograph of a young woman in a Spider-Woman cosplay outfit taken from a slightly high angle with a shallow depth of field. She has short platinum blonde hair green eyes and is sticking out her tongue playfully. She wears a pink and white spider-web patterned hood white gloves a white and black bodysuit with a deep V-neck and black textured leggings. Her right hand is raised near her face gripping the hood while her left hand rests on her thigh. The background consists of a textured light gray curtain. The lighting is soft creating gentle shadows and highlighting her facial features and the fabric textures of her costume. The bottom right corner has a . Her body is oriented slightly to the left with her head tilted upwards and to the right. The camera captures her from the upper thighs to the top of her head emphasizing her playful expression and the detailed costume design. Shot on a 2001 early consumer digital camera, 3.2-megapixel CCD sensor, harsh direct flash, blown-out highlight clipping on skin, slight digital noise in shadows, low dynamic range, muted flat colors with a slight green tint, chromatic aberration around edges, crunchy 2000s digicam snapshot aesthetic.
