How to improve your generations?

Neural networks are capable of creating amazing images. We’ve put together 5 tips that are cool for Stable Diffusion, Fooocus, and the PornWorks generator, and some for Midjourney or DALL-E.

Let’s go!

1. Use LoRA

LoRA is a mini-model that allows you to more accurately hit the style or look you want. Still useful if you need a certain character or pose.

Dark atmospheres, logos or game assets – LoRA will help with that. Just don’t get carried away and use no more than 5 😁

You can find ALL LoRA on CivitAI. And they’re already available on PornWorks.

2. Use references

References can be applied by different ways.

  • ControlNet и Image Prompt

The ControlNet add-on has a bunch of preprocessors to help utilize the depth map, pose, and various masks.

A very creative tool that will make generations more interesting and unique.

To avoid downloading 50+ gigs of models, we compared them all and made a miro board.

  • Use the ref for the prompt

Uploading the image to CLIP Interrogator and we get the finished prompt.

You can refine the request manually or use Florence-2, it’ll help make the prompt more detailed.

3. Experiment with parameters

For each model and neuronkey, there are settings that drastically change the result.

Try changing the following:

  • CFG Scale — is responsible for the accuracy of the prompt (higher is more accurate, but less creative).

Realistic models often use values 1-2, anime models use 7.

  • Sampler — method of data processing by a neural network. Try Euler, DPM++ 2M Karras and others.

  • Denoising Strength — is responsible for the degree of change if using ControlNet or Inpainting.

4. Perfect prompt ≠ long prompt

A good prompt is an accurate and detailed prompt. Adding a bunch of extra words will not make the image better. Rather, you’ll get farther away from the desired result.

Also check the model on CivitAI for trigger words or function words. For example, Pony models require a bunch of score tags to work properly.

The more you work with prompts and generate, the more accurate they will be and the faster you will get to the results you want.

5. Post-processing is SAUCE

Even the coolest generation can be made even better with final processing.

Try to use:  

  • HighRes Fix — increase resolution
  • ADetailer — improve hands and facial features
  • Inpainting — regenerate certain areas
  • Upscale — increase resolution
  • Photoshop — color grading, effects and defect removal
