The most important settings for optimal results
The Classifier Free Guidance Scale (CFG Scale) determines how closely the model should follow your prompt.
Creative, but often far from the prompt
Good balance between creativity and prompt adherence
Strict prompt adherence, can seem exaggerated
The number of steps the model goes through to create the image. More steps mean more details, but also longer generation time.
For most images, 20-30 steps are sufficient. Above 40-50 steps, improvements are often barely noticeable.
The sampler determines how the model performs the diffusion process. Each has its own strengths:
The seed is the starting value for the random generator. It determines the starting point of the image generation.
For exploration and diverse results. Each generated image is unique.
To reproduce images or for systematic testing.
If you've generated an image you like, note down the seed! With the same prompt and parameters, you can reproduce the image exactly later.
You now understand how CFG, Steps, and Seed influence the result and can make informed decisions for your generations.
