The seed and settings for best realistic photos. I remember in Mj, there are some seeds like 777, if u nail it, the pictures will tend to be more artistic.

[@VolatileSupernova]

Useful trick a lot of people forget to mention: if you right click the generate button you can choose an option to "generate forever" which will just keep generating images until you turn it off by right clicking the button again and choosing "cancel generate forever"

[@Ramirezz11]

care to explain? why generate 4ever over batch generate

[@deathybrs]

@@Ramirezz11 For my needs: because you may not know HOW long it might take to generate the EXACT image you are going for, if you are looking for something very specific. There are a lot of tricks to make your generation more deliberate, but this entire thing is still basically just a really fancy random number generator, so no amount of effort with the current state of AI can guarantee you get exactly what you want EXCEPT for repeatedly rolling the dice until you get that critical hit. I certainly find this generate forever to be useful, which is nice because I already knew all the things in the video so I still learned something new.

[@MakenModify]

Since I just had the same issue (switching to Chromium from FF) with dark mode. Two solutions: add the option "--theme dark" to start in dark mode or if it's open add /?__theme=dark to the URL, hit enter and done ;) keep up the great work 👍

[@latt.qcd9221]

I think the most useful extension I've installed is Stable-Diffusion-Webui-Civitai-Helper by butaixianran. It's made managing all of my models so much simpler and I no longer have to worry about forgetting trigger words for prompts. It provides the ability to create a sample image for the model, copy the prompts from the sample image directly to your prompt, and also add any trigger words directly to your prompt through a different button. I can add my LoRA's and trigger words now with a couple clicks.

[@Viewable11]

PNG and JPG do not contain the same information. PNG is a loss less image format and therefore contains 100% of the image data. Jpg is a lossy format and throws away a lot of data to reduce the file size. This becomes relevant if you want to upscale the image, where jpg will cause artifacts.

[@AltoidDealer]

Personally, I hang onto just the jpg version of x/y/z GRID outputs, since I only look back on them for reference. Everything else should be png of course :)

[@audiogus2651]

When he says the jpg has the same information I am pretty sure he was referring to the meta data for recalling the prompt and parameters.

[@mbabuskov]

​@Sato I think John meant using the same prompt and seed with txt2img

[@JohnSmith-hv6ks]

@@mbabuskov yes, if you regenerate with img2img it takes into account the reduced fidelity of the jpg image. thats why u can use photoshop to fix artifacts and replace the image ur using with the edited one.

[@Deiwulf]

Something I found very useful for inpainting is a setting to "save a copy of the greyscale mask". No more redrawing from scratch or going to other apps to perfect that mask.

[@mmilerngruppe]

you mostly do not need png-info tab. simply drop the image in your "positive prompt" and then use the same button as in 3:03 for populate settings on right places.

[@Max-sq4li]

Auto 1111 already dark mode if you use dark mode on windows.. And you don't need hardlink just put your models anywhere even on external drive then go to (webui-user-bat) click edit and after (Set commandline_args=) add --ckpt-dir and your model path .. Like this: Set commandline_args= --ckpt-dir "put here your models path For example : Set commandline_args= --ckpt-dir "F:\sd ew folder" Then click save and run your auto1111 Don't forget to put (") before and after the path .. as in my example ❤️❤️

Seeing the cat on the end screen with the heart eyes is the icing on the cake!

[@marjolein_pas]

That's great, you can even save it immediatly to a webp image if you want to use it online only!

[@DarkStoorM_]

Also a useful trick: if you don't know the name of the component you want to put at the top of your UI, you can go to the settings, change something temporarily to some value, click apply and you will see the ID of that setting. Copy it, revert your setting, and put that ID into the "quicksettings list" under User Interface tab ;) The downside is, that you won't be able to plot the custom components, like coherency over 75 tokens, etc.

[@betodeth]

Thank you Olivio for this awesome and usefull tricks, May IA Bless You.

[@Seraphyx]

Thanks for the shell extension tip. I have been using invokeai and recently wanted to try a1111 again but didn't want to have all my models take up twice the space for both. For anyone wondering, you do the opposite. Start in the invokeai folder, right click and link the folder you have your models in (the hub folder for me), paste it where the stable-diffusion models folder is and rename it appropriately

[@pn4960]

Hey I don't have the "Hardlink clone" option, any advice ?

[@Seraphyx]

@@pn4960 I recently changed up my directory structure (moved stable diffusion to another drive) and I also no longer see the hardlink option. No idea why. I'm gonna look into the other options and hopefully one of those works cause I'm not sure what to do to get the hardlink option back

[@Seraphyx]

@@pn4960 Okay so, I created it as a junction instead and it seems to be working fine! I tried to read the download page but it's just so much information I'm unfamiliar with that I don't REALLY know the differences between hardlink and junction and if there's any reason in this specific situation I'd want one over the other. But hardlink isn't showing up anymore for me either so I have no idea.

[@iamanaccidentlol6186]

Hardlink clone only works if you're using the same drive. The reason you're missing that option is because you changed the directory structure. Ideally you'd wanna use Symbolic link which works for both files and directories ( can be used for different drives unlike Hardlink) and is the latest increment in the software

[@Mocorn]

Great video. Here's my most useful tip. Whenever I get a cool image in txt2img I simply right-click open in new tab. Then I generate some more and do the same. After awhile I can then drag one of the images from the Tabs to the PNG info page and from there back to txt2img or img2img for further work. Or if I'm happy with it I just drag the image from the tab directly to my "work in progress" folder on the desktop.

[@mufeedco]

Nice trick 👌

[@Alchete]

Thanks, good tips! Though I don't understand the difficulty with Chrome and dark-mode. It works perfectly fine for me on multiple computers. Just add "--theme dark" to the webui-user.bat file. No issues in Chrome. Cheers.

[@xfgexo]

You can also add a drop down LORA quick selection box with your checkpoint, clip skip and VAE boxes. Just add "sd_lora" with the others. For example in user interface, settings paste --> sd_model_checkpoint, sd_vae, sd_lora,CLIP_stop_at_last_layers and now you will have LORA as well.

[@1salacious]

Ok, I got it. It has to be written all in lower case as eta_noise_seed_delta

[@ChristyThomas07]

Using lora this way is will messup your lora option. Once you select one lora from the list there is no way to deselect or change value, its a permanent. you can only change the lora from the list. even if you remove the UI selection box the lora will still apply.

That's a complex workaround to have ComfyUI find the models of A1111. It already has a feature to modify paths, in the extra_model_paths yaml, as documented in the install instructions.

[@ninthjake]

You are right but I believe that comfyui was just an example. Many people use automatic1111 with invokeai or vladmantic for example so sharing the models folder between those can save you hundreds of gigabytes of hard drive space

I usually also turn on the add new txt file that accompany each image output. It saves all the output setting (aside of adding it as meta tag inside image). It's easier to access.

I did that in the past, but it get's really confusing and you need to copy everything over by hand again (as far as i know). The PNG info tab is much faster and easier

[@SteveWarner]

If you're generating in batches, try setting the Batch Size to 1 and only use the Batch Count. You'll still generate multiple images, but it won't generate them in tandem meaning it won't eat up your VRAM. I have a GTX 1080 and can generate up to 1024x1024 images without a problem, but I can't do batch sizes. I can only increate the batch count.
