Tagging methodology for Kazusa (blue archive) Start with WD1.4 Swinv2 at 0.25 confidence. - Tag unique features - `halo` / `demon horns` / `low wings` - Remove when not present or out of view. WD1.4 likes putting `halo` even on images where no halo is visible. - Kazusa: `halo` / `animal ears` - Pruned `extra ears` as it seems redundant. - Tag outfit variants with a single master tag - Kazusa: - Uniform: `school uniform` / `black jacket` - Sometimes the jacket appears without anything else, which was not tagged `school uniform` - Non-canon costumes - Add `alternate costume` - Nudity (WD1.4 usually does this accurately) - `nude` / `completely nude` - Prune eye colors - Keep tags which describe unusual eye features (`multicolored eyes`, `heterochromia`, `slit pupils`) as they can otherwise be too subtle and inconsistently drawn for the AI to learn - Prune hair colors - This includes `two-toned hair`, `gradiant hair`, etc. The AI learns all of these very consistently without the tags, likely because artists tend to draw them consistently - Partially prune hair styles - Leave key style tags like `twintails`, `ponytail`, `short hair with long locks`. - Prune exceedingly common tags like `bangs` / `sidelocks` / `eyebrows visible through hair` / `hair between eyes`, etc. - Prune length, except for images which differ from the character's usual length - Add `alternate hairstyle` and/or `alternate hair length` for these - Kazusa: `short hair, colored inner hair` -- while I would usually prune these, they're really her only defining hairstyle traits - Fixup hair ornaments - Prune generic `hair ornament` in favor of more specificity - `hairclip` / `black headband` / `hair flower` / `hair ribbon`, etc. - Consolidate tags that have color variants (`headband` >> `black headband`) - Kazusa: `hairclip` - Consolidate outfits - Only tag an item when it is actually visible. If it is only barely visible along the edge of an image, keep in mind it may be cropped during bucketing. - Danbooru's wiki entry for a character often provides a good list of tags commonly used to describe a character's outfits. - Kazusa outfits: - School Uniform - `black choker` - `hooded jacket` - `black jacket` - `green sailor collar` - `pink neckerchief` - `miniskirt` - `pleated skirt` - `white skirt` - `black pantyhose` - `sneakers` - Fixup sleeves - ie. `long sleeves` / `puffy long sleeves` / `detached sleeves` - You only need one, but pick one and be consistent. If sleeves aren't tagged properly the tends to add them inappropriately (such as when prompting for sleeveless outfits or nudity) - Fixup collars - ie. `detached collar` / `collared shirt` / `choker` / etc. - Same deal as sleeves, they tend to appear when unwanted if not consistently tagged according to visibility in the training data. - Fixup clothing state - ie. `open jacket` / `open shirt` / `partially undressed` / `off shoulder` - The tagger is generally pretty good at this. - Tag expressions - WD1.4 rarely tags these, but doing them manually can help the AI reproduce a character's iconic expressions well. - Start by searching for images without one of these, and add them. - `open mouth` - `closed mouth` - `parted lips` - Add less common expressions - `smile` / `light smile` / `:d` - `wavy mouth` / `embarrassed` - `flustered` / `panicked` / `swirly eyes` / `@_@` - `surprised` / `o_o` / `wide-eyed` - `upset` / `annoyed` / `frustrated` / `v-shaped eyebrows` - `naughty face` / `seductive smile` - `smug` / `:3` - `eyes closed` / `one eye closed` - WD1.4 usually gets these for you. - Tag camera angles/composition - `cowboy shot` - `upper body` - `full body` - `portrait` - `cropped torso` / `cropped legs` - `feet out of frame` - `from side` / `from above` / `from below` / `from behind` - Tag iconic poses/actions - ie. `v` / `standing on one leg` - Kazusa - `mouth hold` - `eating` - `macaroon` - Flip through each image and use Hydrus's "related tags" feature to quickly identify important tags that might be missing. - This feature looks at other images with similar tags to provide suggestions.
