ICBINP | Civitai

ICBINP (I Can't Believe It's Not Photography) is a Stable Diffusion 1.5 checkpoint model hosted on Civitai, designed to generate hyperrealistic images that closely mimic actual photographs. Developed by an unidentified author, the model is a merge of multiple photorealistic models and a LoRA trained on stock photography, aiming to produce convincing photographic output even at low step counts. It includes baked-in VAE and recommends samplers like DPM++ 3M SDE Karras or DPM++ 2M Karras, with optimal settings around 20–30 steps and CFG scale 2.5–5. The model is available in fp16 format (~2.21 GB) and supports inpainting through dedicated versions, allowing for seamless image editing and object removal. While primarily focused on realism, it can also generate CGI characters and landscapes. As a community resource on Civitai, the model is free to download and use, though users need a compatible Stable Diffusion environment or an online service that supports SD 1.5 checkpoints.
