Running Stable Diffusion in the cloud (AWS) has many advantages. You rent the hardware on-demand and only pay for the time you use. You don’t need to worry about maintaining the hardware. Recently, my Stable Diffusion PC has been down, so I set up a personal cloud server to run AUTOMATIC1111, ComfyUI, and SD Forge.…

Robotic face
This workflow generates a half-human, half-robotic face in a realistic illustration style. Some variations:
Self-Attention Guidance: Improve image background
Self-attention Guidance (SAG) enhances details in an image while preserving the overall composition. It is useful for fixing nonsensical details that give the AI image away. In the example below, it fixes the man’s bow tie and modifies other details in the background. Here’s the video version of this article. Table of ContentsSoftwareHow does SAG…
How to create consistent character from different viewing angles
Do you ever need to create consistent AI characters from different viewing angles? The method in this article makes a grid of the same character like the one below. You can use them for downstream artwork that requires the same character in multiple images. Here’s the video version of this tutorial for AUTOMATIC1111. Video tutorial…
How to create images with AI hidden words
Can you see something hidden in the images below? Squint your eye until you see it! Stable Diffusion AI is particularly suited for generating seemingly innocent images with hidden words. The best tools to generate this kind of image are ControlNet and ADetailer. The image itself is controlled by the text prompt. It is infinitely…
Hyper-SD and Hyper-SDXL fast models

Align Your Steps: How-to guide and review
Align Your Steps (AYS) is a change in the sampling process proposed by the Nvidia team to solve the reverse diffusion equation more accurately. The paper claims that using it can generate high-quality images in as few as 10 steps with this simple change. See a comparison from the research article below. In this article,…
Stable Diffusion 3: A comparison with SDXL and Stable Cascade
Stable Diffusion 3 is the latest and largest image Stable Diffusion model. It promises to outperform previous models like Stable Cascade and Stable Diffusion XL in text generation and prompt following. In this post, I will compare the Stable Diffusion 3 model with the Stable Cascade and XL model from a user’s perspective. The following…
