  ## Recommended Usage
  - Add "tchnclr" and/or "1950s" to enhance the technicolor effect
  - The model was trained with and excels at closeup portraits of men and women
  - The model makes beautiful hair, and describe the hair style helps
  - Generating at 1024x with hires fix produces much better results than 512
  - Use CFG of 4-7 for best results.  Yes 4!
  
  ## Known Limitations
  - Faces tend to look similar.  To avoid this, prompt a celebrity at low weight or use an alternating prompt, e.g "[woman|celebrity-name]"
  - The more modernity that the prompt contains modern elements, the weaker the technicolor effect
  - Blending with other artists and art styles reduces the technicolor effect but is worth trying
