A short YouTube tutorial demonstrating PhotoMaker, a free tool that can generate novel images using a single face photo. The presenter shows workflows on two hosting sites (Hugging Face and Replicate), explains capturing a source face (neutral or expressive), crafting prompts, and transferring facial expressions into new scenes (examples: a circus performer; Indiana Jones with a golden statue).

Now, there's a way to get images like this or this of yourself in mere seconds. It's free. All you need is one image, and you can put yourself or others into any situation. This is incredible. It's called PhotoMaker, and here's how to use it. So there's two sites where you can use this right now. First of all, it's hosted on Hugging Face or this replicate page. I'm going to be using both. So for replicate, we could just click this and take an image right here. I take a bit of a weird expression because we're going to be putting this into scenes, so neutral works, but it also transfers your expression. Going to alter the prompt. A photo of a press performer in a circus. We're going to do the same thing in the second model. In this case, I'm going to take the screenshot of a YouTube thumbnail where I look surprised. And we're going to be transferring this face to Indiana Jones collecting a golden statue. And I'm just going to add this EMG at the end because it needs that to generate it. And all right, here we have an impressed performer in a circus. This is actually really good. Look at that. Indiana Jones stealing a statue. So have fun playing around with this.
