tldr: 1. generate batch images (without highresfix) 2. pick one(s) you like 3. send to img2img 4. double resolution (also increase sampling steps for detail) 5. inpaint changes you want (optional: use editing software) 6. send to extras to upscale (can equally use controlnet tile & ultimate upscale script)

[@jonevansauthor]

Thanks for the inspiration Rasukix, I used this as a springboard to go through the whole thing in detail and created timestamps as well. :)

your soothing voice and energy along with the calm explanations really suits this style of content. I'd be happy to see more of it in the future, thanks

workflow is so important to getting good images. thank you for this video, it was helpful.

[@KkommA88]

This shows SD is still far away from "fire and forget" as some might think. You still have to fine tune *a lot* in most cases.

[@jagz888]

Yep I find it quicker to take my file dump it into photoshop correct bad forms and do a design I intentionally want.

[@texx8205]

Still, even with ControlNET, the result is not quite what he wanted in the beginning..

[@legolas66106]

This will stay for a while though, people who are willing to put in actual effort and time to mess with ControlNet or img2img to actually steer the output will have much better results than just the 'prompt and post' crowd.

[@TheHDMICable]

Most who say that generating images with AI is easy have no experience whatsoever, and are just parroting what others are saying. Their opinion hold little value, as they don't have anything of value to back their assertion.

[@zephyra6248]

Hi Sebastian, your tutorials have helped me learn how to use SD with Automatic1111 a lot more effectively. Thank you! I discovered how you can change the start-up parameter settings for the Automatic1111 webui: 1) Open "[filepath]/stable-diffusion-webui/ui-config.json" with a text editor. 2) Edit the settings to your preferred defaults, save, and restart the server to apply the changes. Personally I always brainstorm in txt2img with eulerA, 35 steps, 4 batch size. Changing the default settings saves me a few seconds each time I refresh the Automatic1111 webui. Sidenote: It may also be possible to change minimum and maximum parameter values in the config file, but when I changed the value for ControlNet Thresholds A and B it seemed to completely reset my config settings when I started the server, thus I stopped experimenting with it.

[@sebastiankamph]

Very good tip! 😊

[@Rasukix]

So cool watching start to finish

@@sebastiankamph watching it again rn cus I'm still struggling with my workflow haha, this is my first week using AI tho so cant be too hard on myself

[@Rasukix]

Idk how to get high quality images without highresfix with initial generation

[@sebastiankamph]

@@Rasukix The first generation doesn't need high quality images. You just need to find your composition. Then in the img2img step you'll get the high quality.

[@Rasukix]

@@sebastiankamph this is what I struggle with, so I should generate without highresfix and then go img2img and use script to upscale?

Thanks a lot for this video ! I love seeing the workflow of someone like you, who I've been following for a long time. You can make other videos like this one, it's great! Could you do a video on the SD upscale script? Because I try to enlarge some images and between the SD upscale script, extra (ESRGAN...) and Chainner, I don't always have a good quality of enlargement. THANK YOU SO MUCH !

[@sebastiankamph]

Thank you for your support and glad to have had you around for such a long time 😍

[@PuckDudesHockey]

Sebastian: "Those are the current models that I am using, but that might change... in the coming week." Me: "Dang, video is a whole two months old... we're probably 5 generations of model past those..." 🙂

[@sebastiankamph]

Deliberate, Rmada Merge, Revanimated, Colorful. Some I still use now :)

[@shahahahahahahaha]

Thank you for sharing your workflow. It's extremely useful. I'm trying to follow along using the same model, prompts and settings - but even from the beginning, I only get 2-3 out of 10 images with a face. Then afterwards when I enable controlnet and add in mechanical implants, I get no implants. What am I doing wrong?

[@MrSongib]

Watching this gives me the vibe because I had the same problem and ended up photo bash the entire image. and at the end of the day, it's still a tool and just take inspiration from the tools and then do it myself again. lol Now I'm waiting for the Sketch model for ControlNet to come around and see how my sketch goes on it. And tbh most of us had problems with these AI tools in the composition of what we wanted but, sometimes we had good output but want a different background, character, pose etc, and then try to adjust it to the main composition that we liked and it just breaks the whole things, so what I did is try to inpaint certain things and put the silhouette close as possible to what I wanted and press generate. The biggest problem for me now is trying to adjust the Pose, idk how to keep the "Original" character intact without breaking the composition in it.

Hi Sebastian. Great tutorials. super pro. i have a question. Do you happen to know where to save images to use as init images? I've tried my drive. I've tried local. I'm running out of ideas! thanks sebastian. Dave

[@PatrickBaitman735]

If you have trouble with inpainting use a lower denoising. 0.4 = minor changes 0.7 = alot of changes. Try to manovuer in this area.

[@KentSteinhaug]

Thanks! You tend to explain what you do and why in a way that's interesting and fun. And you usually have that little bit "extra" when it comes to fixing details and common problems. I really hope you will make more videos like this one, I really enjoyed it :) One question. Stable diffusion accepts special characters like ( ) ] [ and lettering like 2:1 (or whatever) etc. But I have never seen a list of such commands. Can you make something about that? Anyway, keep up the great work :D :D

[@sebastiankamph]

Glad you enjoyed it! I got that info in my videos, however not in one video only.

[@KentSteinhaug]

@@sebastiankamph - yes, I know. Do you know why it's "impossible" to train any models in Automatic 1111 at the moment? I have tried to follow all tutorials, yours included, and I have so far never managed to get one single model that is good. Even worse is it that the more news, the badder the results :(

[@hellfrozen3678]

You can also just interrupt the batch when you don't like the images from the start and it gets done to like 80% to save some time

[@MrDimitriVorontzov]

Useful tutorial, thank you. Question: How can I load custom styles into Automatic 1111 UI (in RunDiffusion)?

[@adrianiskandar]

Awesome video! But what is the software you are using? Do you have a video to install all the tools you are working with?

[@sebastiankamph]

Yes, check my Ultimate Guide to Stable Diffusion. I got lots of guides and install how tos.

[@pastuh]

Funny how you trying generate image, even first image was best :)) I mean 04:45 looks good.

[@sebastiankamph]

Hah, it sure is pretty good :)

[@ph3-lm]

Well as for me just getting image to photoshop and quickly repaint or photobash stuff I like or I do not like works much much faster counting on following quite random generations. After that I get it back again to img2/img ot Control net. Maybe you should try that? Though I admit I paint/draw quite profficiently so I may be biased to that kind of workflow.

[@pto2k]

Great video. 0:36 wonder which discord channel could I find these style files? thank you

[@sebastiankamph]

Check video or channel description. Then inside #resources

[@robbasgaming7044]

When are you using control net and when are you using img2img? I can't really grasp the use cases for control net vs inpaint img2img. Great video!

[@sebastiankamph]

ControlNet can keep a full composition or pose but change everything else. Img2img retains a lot of the image, so has less control. But img2img is great if you have the colours, style and composition you want already.

[@robbasgaming7044]

@@sebastiankamph great thank you! I've made some great character portraits for d&d with your tips, and a model i found for d&d 🤣 thank you! 💪 It feels like a specific model for what your looking for is the most important

[@niravelniflheim1858]

My poor machine only has 4gb VRAM, but I literally just noticed I can push the img size to 512x768 (2:3 ar) without it crashing (usually I do 384 x 576 locally). I'd only been using the larger resolution in my colab instance up 'till now, which I've only been using for a day or so, but it timed out. So just for the hell of it I threw its last output into the PNG Info tab on my local instance to carry on. Now I have an oddity where regenerating the image from that info doesn't recreate the exact same image - I'm not sure why - since it's the same model, seed and so on, copied right out of the image itself. Different hardware, different result? One thing's for sure - the cloud GPU is a lot faster!

[@nikoleifalkon]

2:34 check your prompts because have a lot of contradictory features for example Positive asks for hyperrealistic and depth of field but sharp focus? is prompted twice, 3d render in positive by many apps like Blender, CInema4d and Octane BUT in negative your dont want render nor 3D featured too, double trending on artstation too, to confused for a beginner. maybe is time to do a video debunking all that artists that nobody knows and all people prompt in the positive features needed to do an image, example: wanting Studio Ghibli style does not match with Ed Blinkey art style but you want both in the same image.

[@nikoleifalkon]

and don't take me wrong! I've learned a lot of your knowledge of all features and tips, just don't copy the prompts prior to analyze them first, be the first KZbinr with the real answers demystifying is a copy pasted prompt from random sites, maybe reducing opposite features could bring faster images created.

[@sebastiankamph]

You're 100% correct in that it's contradictory. There are lots of multiple words and even same stuff in negatives as positives. I've had to choose where I spend my time and it's been like a "no need to fix it, it's not really broken" kinda thing :) I have been thinking about it lately though, seeing as I link to it nowadays. Thanks for the input 😊

[@nikoleifalkon]

@@sebastiankamph thanks for the mature answer! now I know I'm in the correct channel, keep it up!

[@gosia_kmiec]

I came here to learn a bit about control net, I'm hoping AI will become more ethical with things like that but I can't believe that after all the backlash and pleading AI prompters like yourself STILL use names like Greg Rutkowski in their prompts, he and bunch of other artists clearly said no. Why don't you respect that?

[@sebastiankamph]

I actually don't anymore. This video is 4 months old. I also removed all artist names from my styles prompts.

[@gosia_kmiec]

@@sebastiankamph I can't express how glad I am to hear that! Thank you for clarifying my mistake and for acknowledging the issues around AI. I hope more people will do the same thing!

[@tonymassage2314]

also, on positive prompt you use 4k like two times, then also use 8k, and unreal render??? LOL, i mean, do you want to have a 4k or 8k result? and, if you add an ENGINE, the 4k or 8k result will NOT be as good....... what a lame prompt.......

[@tonymassage2314]

sebastian with all due respect, what's the point of using excessive negative prompt when you actually get very lame results? you are showing people what EVERY ROOKIE does, COPY and PASTE prompts without editing them - you have so many repeated words, unnecessary, and your results show that YOUR PROMPT needs fixing..... MODELS are more important than prompt, because if a model is badly trained, doesn't matter how LONG of testament your prompt is, you will get lame results...... im sorry, but i need to be honest. here is a list of your repeated words. UGLY< DEFORMED, BAD ARTS, DISFIGURED, DEFORMED, extras limbs, DEFORMED (again for the third time) , deformed (again) extra limbs (5 times!!!)), disfigured like 5 times!!! Deformed like 4 times!! Ugly like 6 times!!! I mean. if you get all these people following you, and they dont understand this, i mean, you are showing them the WRONG way, and still you get all your fans,,,, this shows me how people just FOLLOW ALONG and don't test themselves or question...... you just make money out of videos even if they are bad, i get it....... this means that if i was someone making tutorials using REAL EXPERIENCE, i will be a millionaire on youtube......

There's no point in doing it really. I just haven't had time to clean them up over time as I spend most of my time making videos or answering viewers here or on Discord. It's extremely far down on my todo list.

[@toututu2993]

Remember people, never support ai arts with your money or praise as they already destroying what is great about humanity which is "creations" and quality craft with thoughts and life knowledge that brought us happiness. AI art doesn't have any clue or idea for our inspiration and greatness as much as a living human itself. What corporations and ai programmers have done is not okay at all. They don't care about the quality of experience and entertainment that brought people greatness, they only care about themselves collecting huge cash and doesn't care of the earth they living. It's getting worse and worse of how they can just insult us all with these ai arts techs that will make our entertainment media worse.
