Intro

This is my "Ultimate" SDXL workflow. After about a year of messing around with SDXL checkpoints. This is what i've sort of landed with that has a good balance of quality and speed. It tries to push SDXL to the max in terms of detail and resolution trying to match FLUX. Tons of great SDXL models that I wish had the clean Flux look. You can make stuff that looks VERY close to Flux by using alot of these great extentions that in my opinion put SDXL on Meth. Some of this stuff is very obscure and most workflows are overly bloated with nonsense. Hopefully this is something that you can just expand on as a base.

QuickStart

Everything is initially setup for pure text-to-image. Enter a prompt and hit queue. Example prompt is provided.

Optional Stuff

Everything is setup to do depth-controlnet or image-to-image without messing with anything. Just enable the following group and go.

  1. image-to-image

  2. depth-controlnet

Advanced

There are many knobs to tweak. Honestly, you'll have to experiment and see what does what, but breifely I think its worth at least noting from my experiece most important bits.

  • SeaArtLongXLClipMerge All SD checkpoints have a clip limited to 77 tokens and so this patches any clip to 248 tokens allowing alot more detailes. Actual human readable prompts work with it much better similar to flux but it's still very limited. It takes an old clunky SDXL checkpoint and gives it new life 100000%!

  • Clip Text Encode with BREAK This in conjuction with the long clip merge node gives alot of new possibilities and simplifies a ton of node spagetti around conditioning. Conditional merges are all in one prompt seperated by the BREAK.

  • PerturbedAttentionGuidance This definetly helps cleanup the image alot. Generations are much more coherent and make sense. Alot of artifacting goes away by simply having these enabled. A setting of 1.5-2 is about all you really want.

  • Dynamic Sampler + Detail Daemon I have all this setup how i want but you may want to experiment, but these dynamic samplers push alot more refined + smooth details out of the image almost like flux. Honestly you dont even need to pass the image through Flux because it looks that clean.

Hope this helps!
