CodeFormer Weight (Fidelity)

CodeFormer Weight (Fidelity)
0 = far from original (max restoration), 1 = close to original (min restoration)

please someone explain to a non english speaking person in simple words what this means and how it works.

when i want the most resemblance to reference photo i set this to "0"... is that correct?
to be honest with the reference images i tried the differences between setting it to 0 or 1 are minimal.

are there any other tips&tricks how to make a face look more like the reference image?

0 (more restoration, less of the original face) -> 1 (less restoration, more of the original face)
0.5 - 0.8 is optimal in my book

ok to be 100% clear the "original face" is the face that is generated by stable diffusion?
maybe it is just me who is confused by this but i would call it "generated face" and "reference face".

The "original face" for the face restorer is just an input
So that in our case the "original face" is the swapped one which we going to restore
