Stable Diffusion WebUI AUTOMATIC1111: A Beginner’s Guide
Stable Diffusion WebUI (AUTOMATIC1111 or A1111 for short) is the de facto GUI for advanced users. Thanks to the passionate community, most new features come to this free Stable Diffusion GUI first. But it is not the easiest software to use. Documentation is lacking. The extensive list of features it offers can be intimidating. This…
Illustrated Guide to Stable Diffusion
Stable Diffusion images on the internet tend to be similar. Portraits of beautiful women in realistic illustration style, anime, etc. They are usually produced with custom models. There’s nothing wrong with them, but you should understand that it’s just a tiny subset of what Stable Diffusion can do. In this post, you will see images…
What are LoRA models and how to use them in AUTOMATIC1111
LoRA models are small Stable Diffusion models that apply tiny changes to standard checkpoint models. They are usually 10 to 100 times smaller than checkpoint models. That makes them very attractive to people who have an extensive collection of models. This is a tutorial for beginners who haven’t used LoRA models before. You will learn…
ControlNet: A Complete Guide
ControlNet is a neural network that controls image generation in Stable Diffusion by adding extra conditions. Details can be found in the article Adding Conditional Control to Text-to-Image Diffusion Models by Lvmin Zhang and coworkers. It is a game changer. You can use ControlNet to, to name a few, In this post, You will learn…
How to remove extra limbs with Stable Diffusion inpainting
A common issue in Stable Diffusion AI images is that limbs may not be generated quite right. Sometimes a person may have one more arm, and the other time one of his legs may be missing. Finally, we got 4 limbs but the anatomy is not quite correct. A reader suggested making a special tutorial…
Stable Diffusion prompt: a definitive guide
Developing a process to build good prompts is the first step every Stable Diffusion user tackles. This article summarizes the process and techniques developed through experimentations and other users’ inputs. The goal is to write down all I know about prompts so you can know them all in one place. Table of ContentsAnatomy of a…
