How to Create PNGs with Alpha Transparency in Stable Diffusion - LayerDiffusion Tutorial 2024

[@Bastanien]

Nice to see the best SD KZbinr is still at it.

[@albertbozesan]

That’s a big compliment, thank you!

[@RetropunkAI]

Nice to have you back! Huge post! Wow! I know what I’m doing tomorrow. 😅

[@albertbozesan]

Enjoy!

[@GRD30]

Welcome baaaaaaack ! I was waiting for you realy !

[@albertbozesan]

Thank you!! I missed making vids 😄 hope to get them out more regularly again

[@Lexxxco1]

It is indeed very useful addon, thanks!

[@albertbozesan]

You're welcome!

[@GiancarloBombardieri]

great!! I didn´t know it was possible!

[@MasterOFSuperFunny]

If anyone is getting an error relating to resolution after generating an image with LayerDiffusion enabled, try using "(SD1.5) Only Generate Transparent Image (Attention Injection)" instead. What I didn't realize as a new user is that you have to have an SDXL model in order to use the method from the video. I am using Anything 4.5 Pruned.

hi after installation, i did not see the tab of layerdiffuse in my interface. pls help

[@albertbozesan]

did you activate the extension, and are you using Forge or Auto1111?

[@alangabilan]

@@albertbozesan my bad it was auto1111

[@devilskillshot]

when i do it, instead of a transparent background it gives a completely gray background with no transparency.. And fix?

[@_tmh]

Great video!

[@albertbozesan]

thank you!!

[@ehabeltorky88]

Great tutorial, I try it with Flux but got nothing, is there any model to install or setting tip?

[@albertbozesan]

It’s unfortunately not compatible with Flux. I hope someone is working on it!

[@Artazar777]

Great video, thank you. Can you tell me how to scale an image without a background? When I upscale such an image, a background is added to it

[@albertbozesan]

I answered this elsewhere in the comments but here’s the gist of my suggestion: I think you’re best off upscaling the classic way and then using the original PNG as a mask in Photoshop or similar.

[@frankMartinelli]

hallo :) hm... ich habe jetzt die extension Github LayerDiffusion installiert, restartet. aber das menü unter seed erscheint nicht. woran könnte das liegen?

[@albertbozesan]

Hi! Verwendest du Forge oder Auto1111? Sie sehen ähnlich aus, aber nur Forge kann LayerDiffusion.

[@frankMartinelli]

@ ​​⁠hallo. vielen dank für die antwort. mittlerweile habe ich den fehler gefunden. trotzdem danke und liebe grüße

[@anonymous-pr2sy]

thx dood big help

[@albertbozesan]

Happy to help!

[@robsen1631]

Can I just normally upscale the transparent png and it would still be transparent?

[@albertbozesan]

Unfortunately not. You could try upscaling, and then using the original image as a mask in an image editor? Could be okay.

[@Artazar777]

Hi, were you able to solve the problem of upscaling an image without background?

[@albertbozesan]

@@Artazar777 It's not a "problem" per se, upscalers just don't support alpha. Did you try my suggestion?

[@buzurnyuk]

Hi. Tell me what's wrong, I installed SD Forge, then installed this extension, but it does not appear in the window, it is nowhere to be found. Can you tell me what's wrong? Maybe it is no longer supported?

[@albertbozesan]

Hmm…it’s possible that it’s no longer supported, all this stuff changes so fast, unfortunately.

[@_NguyenThanhat-vu7vv]

What is the name of the checkpoint you are using? Can I have the download link?

[@albertbozesan]

Juggernaut, it’s among the most popular on civitai.com

[@mitsumi1829]

Great technique. is there any chance that we can upscale illustration with out background? Couldn't do it(((

[@albertbozesan]

I don't think so, unfortunately, but you could use the low-res result as a mask in Photoshop on the upscaled image?

[@mitsumi1829]

@@albertbozesan i found a solution - upscayl can do that

[@DannyCaruzo]

Is it possible to load a lora into only the foreground and another lora for the background? Or maybe two loras for the foreground and only a prompt for the background?

[@albertbozesan]

Try prompting the LORAs like you normally would, I imagine it could work!

[@BaEhsan]

Is there Anything like this for foocus?

[@albertbozesan]

Would be fantastic - I think it's only available for Forge right now.

[@OtakuOrigins]

When I use loras it gives completely different pictures compared to the model

[@albertbozesan]

I don’t know if Layerdiffuse plays well with LORAs.

[@Killua_Morales]

What's the best checkpoints for this?

[@albertbozesan]

Worth trying a couple. I’ve just been using my normal favorites.

[@BaEhsan]

Awesome

[@vargaalexander]

my layer diffuse doesnt work, not loading additional files

[@albertbozesan]

Ideally, you look up your error on the GitHub page. If you can’t find somebody else with the problem, I’m sure the dev would appreciate your report!

[@TheAnesthetics]

Inpaint also doesn't work well with layer diffuse.

[@albertbozesan]

Unfortunately not.

[@jeremyleonbarlow]

Forge doesn't work well with old AMD GPUs, but mine does work with the amdgpu fork of automatic1111, so I'm going to stick with it for now.

[@albertbozesan]

There’s a new branch called ReForge, it combines the advantages of auto1111 and Forge. Maybe try that out? github.com/Panchovix/stable-diffusion-webui-reForge

[@MinhNguyen-vl7jj]

Have anyone use this feature with "Prompts from file or textbox". It save the same image multiple times :(

[@albertbozesan]

Are you trying to use dynamic prompts?

[@ashutoshmandal6911]

TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

[@albertbozesan]

Search for that error on the Stable Diffusion subreddit. It’s probably not related to Layerdiffusion, very common using SD.

[@sattmowards]

[@雪鷹魚英語培訓的領航]

Could make bank creating stickers for etsy with this technique.

[@albertbozesan]

Absolutely!

[@op12studio]

RIP AMD users like myself.. I got A1111 with directml working but havent figured out how to get anything else to work. This included. I have a 5700XT AMD card... no rocm support(whatever that means) wish I had the money for a basic nvidia gpu

[@albertbozesan]

Yeah, AMD has unfortunately been left in the dust with this AI stuff.

[@op12studio]

@@albertbozesan I finally got a 4070 ti super but I realized that the actual transparent PNGs arent saving to the output folder. I work around it by just downloading manually. Any idea about this?
