This style LoRA was trained on images I produced using Stable Diffusion, and then processed using the WordPad effect technique.

This method involves opening an image file using a text editor (traditionally the WordPad app for Windows, although I used Notepad++). The text editor tries to find characters in the file which denote line breaks in text, in order to display the file in a readable format. The image file doesn't have any line breaks, so the text editor will corrupt the file by adding or removing bytes of data in an attempt to paginate the file.

Saving the resulting "formatted" file and opening in an image viewer should result in a distorted version of the original image: proportions will be stretched and warped, horizontal bars of colour and noise will cover parts of the image, and strange visual artefacts may be present.

Whilst this LoRA doesn't replace the work (and fun) of glitching an image with a text editor, it recreates many of the stylistic features of this process, particularly the horizontal colour bars and distorted geometry.

This LoRA works particularly well with ControlNet at weights around 0.75, which gives some structural underpinning to the generated images whilst still allowing room for creative distortion.
