Is it real or did you generate this?
It's a generation :)
How do you get text to display legibly? Text to image just creates a bunch of garbled nonsense.
I put the text in photoshop and warped it a bit, then exported that as a PNG. I used the PNG in Controlnet with the Lineart preprocessor, and lowered the weight/guidance steps to make it look more natural. The prompt was just "graffiti tags"
Stable Diffusion
Welcome to the Stable Diffusion community, dedicated to the exploration and discussion of the open source deep learning model known as Stable Diffusion.
Introduced in 2022, Stable Diffusion uses a latent diffusion model to generate detailed images based on text descriptions and can also be applied to other tasks such as inpainting, outpainting, and generating image-to-image translations guided by text prompts. The model was developed by the startup Stability AI, in collaboration with a number of academic researchers and non-profit organizations, marking a significant shift from previous proprietary models that were accessible only via cloud services.
