📚 Tips & Tricks Guide

Welcome to this guide, where you'll find tips and tricks, resource recommendations, comparisons, and contributions aimed at enhancing generation details. This list will be expanded as more information is discovered or contributed by the community. Feel free to share your tips and tricks in the comments, and they'll be added here.

⚙️ General Settings

Let's start by revisiting the recommended settings:

Resolution

• 1280x720

• 1280x768

• 832x1216

Samplers (Personal Preference)

🏠 For local generation:

1. DPM++ SDE Karras

2. DPM++ 3M SDE Karras

3. DPM++ 2M SDE Karras

4. DPM++ 2S a Karras

5. DPM2 a

6. Euler a

🌎 For site-based generation, you currently have two options:

1. DPM2 a (more expensive and slower, but generates better details)

2. Euler a (cheaper and faster, but at the cost of certain details, producing a softer style)

🎨 Suggested Content for Output Improvement

🌠 Night or Dark Scenes

Thanks to incredible LoRAs like DRKDL-R by @blacksnowskill and Dramatic Lighting by @freckledvixon, you can achieve outstanding dark scenes:

🎥 Professional Image Style

I recommend using LoRAs such as my Cinematic Shot, NSTLG-R/NEOST-R by @blacksnowskill, and Steve McCurry - Photography SDXL LoRa by @FrenzyX to achieve a professional touch:

😠 Facial Expressions

Various facial expressions tested with the model include:

• Happy

• Sad

• Angry

• Surprised

• Afraid

• Disgusted

• Contemptuous

• Confused

• Bored

• Interested

• Embarrassed

• Ashamed

• Proud

• Awed

• Amused

• Skeptical

• Neutral

🔍 Skin Detail

Skin detail quality varies depending on the sampler. Generally, all samplers except Euler a provide great quality. To enhance this, I recommend using the upscaler 1x-ITF-SkinDiffDetail-Lite-v1.

✨ High Realism with Negative Prompt

The following negative prompt provides incredible realism (thanks to @Socash):

deformed, deformed face, low quality, bad quality, worst quality, (drawn, furry, illustration, cartoon, anime, comic:1.5), 3d, cgi, extra fingers, (source_anime, source_cartoon, source_furry, source_western, source_comic, source_pony), deformed teeth

Note: This can sometimes lead to similar facial structures and a tendency to generate female figures.

🤳 Amateur Style

I recommend my LoRA Pony Amateur for an incredible amateur style. It can be tricky to work with, but once you master its settings, the outputs are excellent.

🫱🏼‍🫲🏿 Skin Color / Ethnicity

For easier generation of people with different skin tones, it is recommended to describe the origin or ethnicity (e.g., African American) rather than the skin color.

🚫 Removing People from the Image

The word scenery effectively removes any person from the scene, helping to eliminate unwanted intruders in your images.

Original Prompts:

• Positive: score_9, score_8_up, score_7_up, score_6_up, photorealistic, fantasy, detailed, nature

• Negative: score_5, score_4, score_3

After Adding "scenery" to Positive:

👥 Multiple People with Different Characteristics

Including more than one subject in an image with different characteristics can be challenging. To make this easier, I recommend using the following prompt structure (note that using character LoRAs may make this more complicated or even impossible):

[number of people (e.g., 2boys)] [description of the first person] BREAK [description of the other person] BREAK [situation, styles, etc.]

Example:

To generate an image with two distinct individuals, you could use the following prompt:

• Positive: score_9, score_8_up, score_7_up, score_6_up, 2boys, male, african american BREAK male hispanic BREAK both sitting on a table, bar

• Negative: score_5, score_4, score_3
  

🔥Model Horniness

Personally, I haven't noticed the model ignoring prompts and being overly "horny," but if you're having trouble controlling this aspect, try adding the following prompts:

• Positive prompt: "rating_safe"

• Negative prompt: "rating_explicit"
