Tencent just released PhotoMaker V2 with improved ID fidelity. While it maintains the generation quality, editability, and compatibility with any plugins that PhotoMaker V1 offers, it provides scripts for integration with ControlNet, T2I-Adapter, and IP-Adapter to offer better control capabilities. Users can further customize scripts for upgrades, such as combining with LCM for acceleration or integrating with IP-Adapter-FaceID or InstantID to further improve ID fidelity.

Latest virtual try-on advancements use latent diffusion models for realistic garment inpainting, enhancing online shopping. However, existing methods lack flexible control over garments, faces, poses, and scenes. IMAGDressing-v1 addresses this with a garment UNet capturing semantic and texture features and a hybrid attention module for scene control. It supports plugins like ControlNet and includes the IGPair dataset with 300,000 clothing pairs. Extensive tests show state-of-the-art performance in human image synthesis. Try out the demo here.
