Stable Diffusion for GIMP Updated - simpler with more models support

[@basarozbent4740]

hi there, great walkthrough. I think I followed written directions on github but that really helped me figure out why I'm doing what I'm doing. I was kinda down when I realized my iris xe was no good for image generation but completing the installation and Bob's excitement(even though he is not doing it for the first time) as he builds the image really put a great smile on my face. I believe running the bat files from the right directory matters, failed a few times, I'm not really an expert, but It works on this day.. Cheers everyone

today my gimp stopped running openvino plugins due to a gdbus.exe error... trying to reinstall it and keep failing at it! I'm afraid it really is a pain to properly setup and get running these plugins

[@duffyrides]

Hey Bobb, I have the new Intel Core Ultra i7 155H in MSI Prestige 16 and am testing this out! Do you know if the plugin is optimized for the new integrated ARC GPU?

[@tseng67]

hello thanks for your video, and i have question, when you choose stable diffusion in GIMP, where you find the windows( 5:47)?

[@BobDuffy]

When you select Stable Diffusion from the Layer menu it will open this Window. GIMP is a bit notorious for having Windows pop up in odd places and potentially not on the desktop you have in focus. When recording the video I noticed the window was on another monitor and I dragged it over.

Could you do a follow up video about this? An update as well as how this has helped you overall?

[@BobDuffy]

I will be re-reviewing the repo instructions and plugin features. Not sure if video. Might be an article. Ill link here.

[@jorinryms2943]

For anyone watching, the instructions on the GitHub repository do not work. It "requires" Python3.12 but certain dependencies don't exist for this version of Python. This is stated, so I have been trying with 3.10 for the last couple of days. I would either make corrections to the batch script or manually plug commands into powershell. Now, I at least have the option to download models. Note: you actually don't need to rename the openvino folder unless it is in the home folder. Apologies if I missed that in the tutorial. Very annoyed at the moment, but I figured it out. In order to work correctly, `install.bat` needs to be edited to match the specific Python version you have on your system. If anyone else is experiencing issues, perhaps I will fork the repository with fixes available. What works for me: Windows 11 Python3.10 GIMP 2.10 openvino (via pip) 2023.2.0

Sending to dev team for them to check out

Hi. Thanks for these efforts. Unfortunately, I am stuck. Up to 5:19 of the video, everything seems OK. Software and model are installed, and the plugin path is added to preferences plugin folders (C:\Users\Public\GIMP\gimpenv3\Lib\site-packages\gimpopenvino\plugins), and I restarted. However, no OpenVino plugins whatsoever are shown in Gimps' layers menu, so Gimp apparently refuses to integrate them. Versions: python 3.12.3; gimp 2.10.36. If anyone has an idea how to proceed, I'd be thankful.

[@BobDuffy]

Sorry about that. The video is old and the repo has been updated. I suggest following the repos instructions more than my video. I will share your issue with the developer. Are you using the experimental version of GIMP?

[@M.Vriesde-y7i]

@@BobDuffy I tried, but no success. (latest stable GIMP). Anyway, thanks, I'll look for different software. Cheers.

[@basarozbent4740]

hey there you should work with gimp 2.99 for these developing functions to work. That is an unstable version where some features are tried and tested for the more advanced users.. but I cannot promise it would work as planned🤪, many people have a hard time getting openvino up and running, including myself

[@M.Vriesde-y7i]

@@basarozbent4740 Thanks for the tip.

[@YalovainkYalova]

I think I did everything right, but before your video, I followed the instructions of another video... it didn't work. Then I tried according to your video. It didn't happen again. I don't know why. I followed all the instructions before you. The model upload link on hugging face in the model upload section has been cancelled. Then I found your video. I followed everything you said. Sorry for my failure. There is a problem. Do you think we can install it together if I connect remotely? thanks. If you help me, I would like to present you a Turkish rap. :)

[@basarozbent4740]

Hey Paul, finally got openvino plugins up and running, sadly I should say the video now is out of date and does not follow the installation process. The process in command prompt now never asks the models cause you get to load them in gimp. I have watched your video in the previous installation but later it was misleading. Good news is, SD in gimp is better and easier to use

[@basarozbent4740]

Long story short, installation works as intended but it never installs model settings and produce crappy low res images

[@BlenderAddict]

Hello pretty intéressant, does it working on amd cpu as well ?

[@adammalley6140]

for anyone who doesn't know, you need a python version between 3.7 and 3.11. 3.11.4 did not work for me

[@BobDuffy]

Good to know

[@preshengovender5554]

after selecting all of the above I get this error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'diffusers'

[@BobDuffy]

Darm. Be sure to be you are using the recommended version of Python. I believe it says 3.9.13. Meanwhile Ill alert the dev. Always possible something was pushed and creating an issue

[@Bronco541]

so what I gather is AI tools such as this is not yet ready for non-coders.

[@slovek]

I followed all of the steps and this did not work. Used the correct versions etc.

[@BobDuffy]

It appears the latest version no longer supports a simpler installer described in this video. Did you follow the instructions on the GitHub page which requires you install OpenVINO?

[@slovek]

@@BobDuffy I did. I thought I had messed up a step and redid all steps just to be certain but it did not work for me.

[@BobDuffy]

@@slovek what error do you get. Can you send me a screenshot of the CMD window

[@BobDuffy]

Are you using the experimental version of GIMP 2.99.14 and either Python 3.9 or 3.10?
