I can't speak to what Hina did or didn't do. I am simply defending myself and saying I don't use real images as my starting point. I have experimented with it and find it to be a waste of time. The images look like half photograph half anime abominations unless I turn the strength up so high that it pretty much ignores the input image and makes it pointless to use.

For example I have tried using screenshots from teenikini because they have petite girls in micro bikinis doing the poses I like. It is a waste of time and I can get better looking results simply using a text prompt and no input image.
