Usage

After installing the software, navigate to your browser (we recommend using either Chrome, Edge or Firefox to prevent issues) and navigate to http://localhost:9000 . It may take the project a few seconds to get ready. When loaded this is what it should look like:

Tips

  • You can enqueue multiple Jobs. The project will process them one by one. You don't need to wait until the first job is finished.
  • You can queue up many rendering jobs at once by entering one prompt per line. When you click 'Make Image', a job will be generated for each line in the prompt textbox:

  • You can use Face Correction or Upscaling to improve the image further.
  • You can click Use as Input on a generated image, to use it as the input image for your next generation. This can be useful for sequentially refining the generated image with a single click.
  • Images with the same aspect ratio of your generated image work best. E.g. 1:1 if you're generating images sized 512x512.

Image Modifiers

These are just suggestions to get you started. Different models will give different effects, and settings that are ideal for one model may not be applicable to another.

  • Image Size: Start with 512x512 with SD 1.4 or 1.5 models. With SDXL, start with 1024x1024. You can increase/decrease these slightly - often, 512x768 will still work well with SD 1.5 models, but any larger, and you'll start to see odd duplications in your results. Use image-to-image to go larger.
  • Inference Steps: try using between 30 and 40 for most models. For Turbo models, use between 5 and 8 to generate faster than non-Turbo models.
  • Guidance Scale: 7.5 is a good starting point, but anywhere from 5 to 15 works for many models. For Turbo models, this should be between 1 and 5, depending upon the model.
  • Model: SDXL models can produce better results than SD 1.4 and SD 1.5 models, but require a bit more resources. The base SDXL model can be found here: sd_xl_base_1.0.safetensors The VAE matching this SDXL model can be found here: sd_xl_base_1.0_0.9vae.safetensors
  • Sampler: Generally, you can use any sampler, but some models mostly work with one particular sampler. For example, some Turbo models specifically require DPM++ SDE, or else results will be poorer.
