Overview
User guide for "changeAge"
The main function of the "changeAge" app is to obtain images of the face changes at different ages by inputting a facial image.
1. Introduction of program functions
1.1. Core functions
1.1.1. Age change (transformation) simulation
By adjusting the slider (-20.0 to 20.0), the age change effect of the input image is generated, supporting positive (getting older) and negative (getting younger) adjustments.
1.1.2 Two-step processing flow
(1) Latent code generation: Generate latent code from input image.
(2) Age editing: Based on the latent code and slider values, generate the final rendering. Automatically reuse latent code files with the same input image to improve the efficiency of repetitive operations.
1.2. User interface functions
1.2.1 Input/output settings
(1) Drag-and-Drop support: Drag image files directly into the window to automatically fill in the input path, and display a preview.
(2) File selection: Browse for images and output directories with extended format support.
(3) Supported extended format support: * png, *.jpg, *.jpeg, *.bmp, *.tif, *.tiff, *.jfif, *.webp.
1.2.2. Real-time preview
Both input and output images are displayed in real-time.
1.2.3. Log feedback
Real-time display of command execution process and results.
1.2.4. Process control
Run/Stop: Supports forced termination processing midway.
2. Usage instructions
2.1. Operation steps
2.1.1. Select input image
(1) Method 1: Click the "Select Input Image" button and select a file from the dialog box.
(2) Method 2: Drag and drop an image file into the window.
(3) Supported formats: png, jpg, jpeg, bmp, tif, tiff, jfif, webp.
2.1.2. Set output directory
Click the "Select Output Directory" button and specify the path to save the results.
2.1.3. Adjust age offset
(1) Drag the slider to the offset (the offset value range is -20.0 to 20.0, with commonly used values ranging from -10.0 to 10.0. The larger the absolute value of the offset, the more severe the age change. For example, dragging to the right means getting older, which is a positive value, 5.0 means getting older, and the offset is 5.0; dragging to the left means getting younger, which is a negative value, -3.0 means getting younger, and the offset is 3.0).
(2) The current value is displayed in real-time.
2.1.4. Run processing
(1) Click the "Run" button to start processing:
The first run will generate a latent code file (may take 1-2 minutes).
Automatically reuse latent codes when running with the same input again to improve speed.
(2) Stop processing: Click the "Stop" button to abort mid-process.
2.1.5. View Results
(1) After successful processing, the output image is saved to:
// dst.editing.png
(2) The output image is displayed in the preview panel on the right.
2.2. Important Notes
2.2.1. Input image requirements
(1) Suggest using a frontal facial image (1024 x 1024 recommended).
(2) Non-face or complex-background images may fail.
2.2.2. Troubleshooting
(1) Missing Previews: Ensure write permissions and avoid special characters (such as spaces) in paths.
(2) Latent Generation Failures: Try simpler images or resizing inputs.
2.2.3 Extension Suggestions
If you want to dynamically display multiple images of different ages, it is recommended to use the "videoimg2gif" app (which converts video, images, and GIF to each other), sort and rename the file names (such as 01, 02, 03...) of multiple images according to age, and place them in the same folder to generate GIF dynamic image or video. The download link for the "videoimg2gif" app on the Microsoft Store is https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9P9C9LTBHQNF
"changeAge"中文使用指南(User guide in Chinese)
"changeAge"应用程序的主要功能是:通过输入一张人脸照片,能获得其各种不同年龄时的容颜变化后的照片。
1.程序功能介绍
1.1. 核心功能
1.1.1. 年龄变化模拟
通过调整滑块(-20.0 至 +20.0),生成输入图片的年龄变化效果,支持正向(变老)和负向(变年轻)调整。
1.1.2. 两步处理流程
(1)潜码生成:生成图片的潜码(latent code)。
(2)年龄编辑:基于潜码和滑块值,生成最终效果图。相同输入图片自动复用潜码文件,提升重复操作效率。
1.2. 用户界面功能
1.2.1. 输入/输出设置
(1)拖拽支持:可直接拖拽图片到窗口,自动填充输入路径并显示预览。
(2)文件选择:支持通过对话框选择图片和输出目录。
(3)扩展格式支持:*.png, *.jpg, *.jpeg, *.bmp, *.tif, *.tiff, *.jfif, *.webp。
1.2.2. 实时预览
输入图片和输出结果均实时显示。
1.2.3. 日志反馈
实时显示命令执行过程和结果(成功/错误以颜色区分)。
1.2.4. 进程控制
运行/停止:支持中途强制终止处理。
2.使用说明
2.1. 操作步骤
2.1.1. 选择输入图片
(1)方式一:点击“选择输入图片”("Select Input Image")按钮,从对话框中选择文件。
(2)方式二:直接拖拽图片文件到窗口任意区域。
(3)支持格式:png, jpg, jpeg, bmp, tif, tiff, jfif, webp。
2.1.2. 设置输出目录
点击“选择输出目录”("Select Output Directory")按钮,指定结果保存路径。
2.1.3. 调整年龄偏移
(1)拖动滑块至偏移量(偏移量取值范围为-20.0至20.0,常用取值范围在-10.0至10.0。偏移量绝对值越大,表示年龄变化程度越加剧、越厉害。如:往右拖动表示变老,为正值 ,5.0 表示变老偏移量为5.0;往左拖动表示变年青,为负值,-3.0 表示变年青偏移量为3.0。)。
(2)实时显示当前偏移量。
2.1.4. 运行处理
(1)点击“运行”("Run")按钮开始处理:
首次运行会生成潜码文件(耗时约 1-2 分钟)。
相同输入再次运行时自动复用潜码,提升速度。
(2)停止处理:点击“停止”("Stop")按钮可强制终止。
2.1.5. 查看结果
(1)处理成功后,输出图片保存在://dst.editing.png
(2)输出图片会在右侧预览区域显示。
2.2. 注意事项
2.2.1. 输入图片要求
(1)建议使用正面人脸图片(1024 x 1024 效果最佳)。
(2)复杂背景或非人脸图片可能导致生成失败。
2.2.2. 常见问题
(1)预览不更新:确认输出目录有写入权限,路径无特殊字符(如空格)。
(2)潜码生成失败:尝试更换输入图片或调整大小。
2.2.3 扩展建议
如果希望将多张不同年龄的图片动态显示,建议选用videoimg2gif应用程序(视频、图片和gif互相转换),将多张图片的文件名按年龄先后排序改名(比如01、02、03…)并放入同一文件夹,生成gif动态图或视频。videoimg2gif应用程序在微软商店的下载网址是https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9P9C9LTBHQNF
