Throwback to late 2022, when Stable Diffusion 1.5 had just dropped. This time I've put my old SD 1.5 outputs side-by-side with what Flux Krea's img2img can do today — using exactly the same (and very much not recommended) clip-style prompt. Normally, you'd want a more descriptive prompt for Flux, but for img2img… it's not a big deal.

You can copy any of the images to your workflow to get the parameters and prompt.

Final Thoughts

Who says you can't use SD 1.5 anymore? On a decent PC build you can pump out a ton of images in no time, pick the gems, and run them through img2img. Both SD 1.5 and SDXL can still create some insanely creative results.
