[west breach]

is it using shared vram?

[brazen patrol]

Subscribers don't use bots as a rule. That is for trials, which are an on or off deal. Meaning they disable trials quite often due to overwhelming demand.

[ionic dragon]

no, i am talking about the time its taking to process it, 71s/it

[ionic dragon]

no

[rustic garnet]

oh, thats a lot xD

[ionic dragon]

yeah

[rustic garnet]

I think its ~5s/it for me with batch size 12

[ionic dragon]

the estimated time is 345hrs ~ 14days

[ionic dragon]

my batch size is 1

[soft zealot]

its random, quite possibly that returned result has the word astronaut in there somewhere, i dont know. I dont own lexica and i dint create the node as I said yesterday so stop asking stupid questionsplease.

Fancy a random prompt collector generating random prompts, whatever next!!!!

[ionic dragon]

as i used only 85 images, i used 1

[ionic dragon]

ok sure,
sorry

[rustic garnet]

doesn't matter. Do batch size as high as you can. But that won't solve the timing issue. Dunno whats wrong there

[ionic dragon]

used these

[rustic garnet]

• use lower rank. 32-64 is usually enough
• don't train the text encoder (in particular not with rank 256 X_x). Use --train-unet-only
• if it is still slow, try to use fp16 instead of bf16. It might be that your graphic card does not support bf16

its crazy that kohya_ss does not have a separate parameter for unet dims and text encoder dims. if you train text encoder, a dim of 1-4 is more than enough. For unet you need larger dims (12-64)

[ionic dragon]

i followed secourses tutorial
ok sure
does 3080(laptop) support bp16?

[rustic garnet]

if you train unet only you can also check "cache text encoder ouputs"

[rustic garnet]

probably, but just google

[ionic dragon]

i didnt get any results on google for that, so asked you

[rustic garnet]

the text encoders are HUGE and training them with dim=256 is insane. You can get totally overfitted results on them even with dim=1

I also just googled and it says yes

[ionic dragon]

this?

but this one has diff context

[dense chasm]

when u cache text encoder ouputs checked, the shuffle caption won't work,anyway,this is highly recommended parameter for SDXL training

[ionic dragon]

even with rank-64 should I train the text Encoder, as itsn't adding any new words or stuff, just adding the keyword(name)

[rustic garnet]

training text encoder can help but it extremely fast overfits. So I would not train text encoder and unet together

[ionic dragon]

how to disable text encoder training?

[rustic garnet]

train only the unet. That should be enough

[ionic dragon]

with 256 rank?

[rustic garnet]

--network_train_unet_only is the parameter

just do rank 48 and increase if for some reason that does not work for you

[ionic dragon]

thank you

[ionic dragon]

ok

[ionic dragon]

over here?

[rustic garnet]

no. I think you can't do that in the GUI. You have to run the commandline

[ionic dragon]

@dense chasm i installed kohya scripts can you help me use your config, how should I run it?
the readme is in chinese

[rustic relic]

how is the addon called for those node ui/control that everyone uses?

[west breach]

@ionic dragon try these settings

[ionic dragon]

got one this error

[ionic dragon]

is this kohyascripts?

[west breach]

yeah

[ionic dragon]

how to run kohya_scripts, the readme is in chinese?

[west breach]

I"m using the GUI

[ionic dragon]

oh, i even have the gui, thats what i was trying until now

lemme use your settings

[livid cradle]

does anyone know if there is a possible way that i can insert in the prompt the subject of the image and not generate that particular part but rather keep my initial image?

let's say i want to generate a juicy cheesburger, but i provide an image with a cheesburger.

[ionic dragon]

so this is the config file?

[livid cradle]

can i give the parameter somehow like a studio photography of [init_image] resting on a wooden plate?

[west breach]

yes, you just need to fill in the folder etc

[livid cradle]

i am using image-to-image with masking, but sometimes i get a new burger image behind my buerger image.

[ionic dragon]

ok thank you

[untold goblet]

Base SDXL is so freaking good at stuff like this:

The style is so consistent

[livid cradle]

example of my problem.

so i want it to create only the background for this image, yet i want the prompt to know what initial image is.

my inital prompt:

In this stunning product photography scene, a clear glass jar emerges from a creamy, dreamy substance with swirls of splashing cream behind it. The cream has the perfect amount of thickness and texture, making it look light and fluffy.

To highlight the unique features of the jar and cream, Rainbow elements are merged with glassy textures that add an elegant edge to the overall aesthetic. Ambient light illuminates the scene from above, creating a soft glow that accentuates each element without overpowering any of them.

The background is framed by a clean white surface that gives the impression of being in a minimalist studio.

The color tone is understated yet vibrant; it pops just enough to draw your eyes into each element without becoming jarring or overwhelming. The balance of composition follows contemporary proportions that have been proven successful by professional product photographers over time. Overall, this scene showcases a strikingly beautiful product ready for consumption by anyone looking for something fresh with natural appeal!

so basically this keyword: a clear glass jar should be my init_image as a variable or prompt parameter.

maybe this is something of a feature requestr for Stable Difussion team.

[ionic dragon]

the config file you sent doesn't train the text encoder, right?

[vivid tide]

Prompt? looks amazing

[west breach]

don't think so

[inland vessel]

thanks

[ionic dragon]

i dont want to train text encoder, how can I do it?

[untold goblet]

"Amidst a sun-dappled forest, a weathered stone arch stands, overgrown with ivy and surrounded by vibrant wildflowers. Beyond it, a meandering cobblestone path leads toward distant, mist-shrouded mountains. A rustic wooden bench beckons, nestled beside a babbling brook. The scene evokes a sense of nostalgia and adventure, as if plucked from a fantasy epic. Light filters through ancient trees, casting enchanting patterns on the forest floor. This evocative composition captures the essence of a hero's journey, where every step holds the promise of discovery and wonder in a world brimming with untold stories."

[inland vessel]

is it possible when i use a lora for myself i add another lora onto it? like use 2 loras to for example pixelate me?

[untold goblet]

I got it from ChatGPT by asking this: "Describe a realistic photograph in a way that an image generation AI can understand, in around 100 words."

[ionic dragon]

@west breach got this error

[west breach]

check this?

to not train text encoder, I think you add --network_train_unet_only to the additional parameters field

but I haven't done that myself

I'm getting 2.1 s/it on my 4090. Not sure if that's slow or not

with batch size of 4

[ionic dragon]

will do both

[inland vessel]

is making a lora better than dreambooth?

[west breach]

I think it's just faster and produces a smaller file? but maybe a little bit less quality

[inland vessel]

thanks

[ionic dragon]

i am just using your settings, and will check the speed

[vivid tide]

Ima try it in a pixelart/anime style

[untold goblet]

Post results here 👍

[vivid tide]

ye

Let it cook...

[ionic dragon]

@west breach how many steps do you use to train LoRAs?

[west breach]

I do 10 epochs, save every 1 epoch and compare the results from each file to find the best output

[ionic dragon]

how many repeats?

[west breach]

5

[ionic dragon]

oh, lemme change mine

i am using 87 images, 20 repeats

is it bad?

[west breach]

should be okay

I'm training on about 3000 images, but it's for a style

[ionic dragon]

but isnt 17400 steps too much

[ionic dragon]

im training a face

my gpu is performing worst on kohya, dk why

35s/it

[west breach]

try with 1 repeat and 5 epochs?

[west breach]

are you sure it's not maxing out your vram? I got super slow it/s when it went over my vram and started using the shared ram

[ionic dragon]

oh ok

[untold goblet]

Nice! Are you using base SDXL or any models/LoRAs?

[ionic dragon]

my ram is being shared, as i am doing other tasks too, but not shared vram

[west breach]

It's using 1.5GB of shared gpu memory

[soft zealot]

you seem to be the person who can run my workflow without issues 🙂

I have some tweaks inbound

[vivid tide]

Yea. I absoltely love it! Great work

[ionic dragon]

what does shared vram mean?

like 2 appllications using the gpu?

[west breach]

It's using your RAM so it doesn't crash, but it makes everything very slow

[ionic dragon]

oh, so thats the reason why its toooo slow?

how to optimize the settings you sent for 16gb vram?

[untold goblet]

Prompt styler? Does it modify / add something you predefined to the prompt?

[ionic dragon]

hmm, what shoudl I change in my kohya settings to make it use around 14gb vram?

[arctic bloom]

what's shared gpu memory?

[vivid tide]

Yes. As an example i can add Pixel art as a main style and then as a supporting style anime or whatever you want and then it tries to generate something in that genre wich always worked. I used pixel art and anime to generate things like these: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1100170514670039070/1137010784598245376/Parameters_anime_artwork_isometric_style_silkpunk_isometric_shop_desig__pencil_graphite_vector_art_seed-0ts-1691154895_idx-0.png

[west breach]

are you running anything else that's using gpu memory? like do you have comfy or a1111 open?

[ionic dragon]

no

just kohya

[untold goblet]

Cool, thanks! I'll have to look into that..

[west breach]

it's just using your regular ram so it doesn't crash but it's only meant for quick spikes in usage, as it slows everything down a lot

[vivid tide]

Trying that out. I now just need the links for these:

You havent added them to notes

atleast it looks like you havent

[west breach]

are you using batch size 1?

[ionic dragon]

yep

[soft zealot]

I cant recall , i think the version you have has only 2 styles. the revised uses 3 . 1 that applies globally to all prompts and then the 2 you have now

[west breach]

not sure if a lower network rank uses less vram, try setting it to 64?

[ionic dragon]

ok

[soft zealot]

impact pack IIRC thought i had put thelink in the notes box

[vivid tide]

Oh yea, didnt see that. My bad

[soft zealot]

theyre for the facedetailer ive added

[vivid tide]

Yea. Even tho i dont generate that much with faces ill take a look at the results!

[untold goblet]

ChatGPT + SDXL again "In the photograph, a sunlit cafe nestled on a charming cobblestone street invites a moment of respite. Tables with checkered cloths spill onto the sidewalk, adorned with steaming cups of coffee and freshly baked pastries. The aroma of espresso mingles with the melodies of distant laughter. Patrons, some engrossed in books or conversation, bask in the warmth of dappled sunlight filtering through lush vines overhead. The facade, a rustic fusion of brick and timber, exudes Old World charm. The scene captures the essence of leisure and camaraderie, a timeless tableau where everyday moments become cherished memories."

[vivid tide]

Youre results are really impressiv!

[untold goblet]

Too many / small people always get messed up :c

[ionic dragon]

@west breach now it works, 3s/it
thank you

[west breach]

hooray! glad it's working 🙂

[soft zealot]

im sure you can figure out how to disable it if you dont need it 🙂

[untold goblet]

Yeah 🙂 Using this great workflow: https://github.com/SytanSD/Sytan-SDXL-ComfyUI

[soft zealot]

good old @high skiff 🙂

[untold goblet]

Hey that's him

[vivid tide]

It seems like that i installed everything but im still missing the node MMDetDetectorProvider

Did i forgot to to add anything to the right path?

[soft zealot]

it should be in Impact Pack

https://www.google.com/search?q=MMDetDetectorProvider

and i presume you restarted?

the comfy server notthe pc

[vivid tide]

Yea.

Ill get it fixed

somehow

[soft zealot]

its specifically for the face detailer

nothing else

[vivid tide]

I stil want to get it installed. Just give me 5 minutes and i got it fixed

[high skiff]

Hey that's me

Anyways, I'm off to sleep lol

[untold goblet]

@soft zealot Could a face detailer fix the faces in my results ^^

[untold goblet]

Thanks for the workflow 😄

[soft zealot]

YMMV. This is Stable Diffusion. This is The Way

[vivid tide]

@soft zealot Got the error with it not being in the path fixed. Im just gonna do a reinstall and hope that its working then

@soft zealot Did you insatll the 4th optional option?

[soft zealot]

pretty certain the answer is no

but Ihavent eaten since 19:00 last night and its currently 13:20 , just waiting to be called for an op to removemy gall bladder

[vivid tide]

Oh man, go eat! Wishing you luck for the OP that everything goes right

Im just gonna try to install only the missing note

maybe that will fix it

[soft zealot]

sadly I cant eat until after it, cant even drink water atm

[vivid tide]

Oh that sucks.

@soft zealot Found out why

MMDetDetectorProvider and other legacy nodes are disabled by default. If you want to activate these nodes and use them, please edit the impact-pack.ini file in the ComfyUI-Impact-Pack directory and change 'mmdet_skip = True' to 'mmdet_skip = False.'

what the hell

now im missing all of them like its on True

[soft zealot]

Odd I don’t recall doing that but then again I’ve had impact pack installed for a while

[vivid tide]

[soft zealot]

Might need to revisit the face detailed bit at some point

[vivid tide]

@soft zealot really weird that. After changing mmdet_skip = True to mmdet_skip = False. Im getting the same massage like on startup.

Thats super weird

Could you send me your impact pack in your custom nodes folder?

That should technically fix it

[untold goblet]

Which is better?

[solemn scroll]

Hi, have opt-outs been respected for the training of SDXL? The question, when I asked about it a few days ago, had no answer :/

[vivid tide]

Id choose left because less people

[untold goblet]

For me, right looks MUCH better at first glance, but then you notice how details are messed up

Left is more "accurate" but uglier

[solemn scroll]

B is better overall I think

[unreal plover]

Is here an existing UI who use ConfyUI in background who is able to do inpainting and stuff ?

[pure haven]

Is it possible to run SDXL with 6 gigs of vram?

[untold goblet]

Currently using 6.1gb... maybe?

[vivid tide]

--medvram or --lowvram and you should be fine

[pure haven]

Ah ty

[vale eagle]

comfyui has inpaint example

[vivid tide]

ComfyUl has an inpainting feature that can be used to fill in missing or
damaged parts of an image . You can find more information about
how to use it in the ComfyUl
repository on GitHub

[unreal plover]

thanks

but that is default UI, i mean an UI like InvokeAI or Webui

[untold goblet]

Any inpainting workflow that is entirely in ComfyUI? That would be the dream, say you're happy with an image and you want to improve it, would be nice to send it to a second workflow where you can draw an inpainting mask directly in the UI, etc..

Another cool prompt, too many messed up people though 😦
"In the photograph, a bustling city square thrives under the midday sun. Skyscrapers and historical buildings converge, their facades reflecting modernity and tradition. Streams of people crisscross the scene, some immersed in their phones, others savoring street food from vendors lining the plaza. Fountains shoot arcs of water, creating a refreshing oasis amidst the urban frenzy. A street artist captivates onlookers with a vibrant mural in progress. The square's vibrancy is mirrored in the diversity of languages and fashion styles. This snapshot captures the heart of cosmopolitan life, where cultures collide and harmonize in a dynamic tapestry."

[vivid tide]

I found some examples of inpainting workflows using ComfyUI on GitHub¹. You can also modify the mask and the sampler nodes to get different results³.

[cinder aspen]

what the hell, my workflow settings are gone

i literally am at the basic nodes that were when i started ComfyUI for the first ime

time

[untold goblet]

@vivid tide Do you think that could work for fixing details like faces while keeping the same style?

[vivid tide]

I'm not sure, but I think it depends on the model and the mask you use. You can try different models and masks to see what works best for your image. Maybe you can use the anythingV3 model or the faceV2 model for inpainting faces.

[thorny frost]

same prompt "a cat", same model (unstabilityXL), same seed, 120 different styles

[vale eagle]

Do you think it perform better result than original base 1.0?

[vivid tide]

Did you generate that at one time?

[stray mantle]

Paintography 🙂

[thorny frost]

I think so. Could do it with the original base to check it, but it took half a hour to render. I used DPM++ 2M Karras with 30 steps plus refiner and took a while

[boreal bough]

running v1 of my finetune data through lora training right now x_x

[thorny frost]

Yes, used the "Prompts from file or textbox" script with an archive with the 120 styles taken from https://github.com/Douleb/SDXL-A1111-Styles. Reformated with the help of ChatGPT (that thing is amazing)

[vivid tide]

but how did you get it to generate 120 diffrent cats plus styles at one

[thorny frost]

I said it. I used "Prompts from file or textbox" script in A1111.

[tender timber]

Oooh, did/could you please share the workflow or an image that contains those nodes? 🙂

[boreal bough]

in theory, you could also use the infinite grid generator, then throw those into the prompt matrix

(stableswarmui)

[thorny frost]

Well, then i had to rename each image with each style using a python script chatgpt wrote for me, and pasted them in ten collages using photoshop. All automatized.

[upbeat summit]

Sure! It uses WAS nodes only. Here's a screenshot. If you have any questions let me know. I can also strip it down for you later and send you the build, but it could take a bit because I need to finish some work right now.

It was an experiment that I'm still using ;). All this would make much more sense as a node.

But it's very flexible. You could potentially save any text information of a gen in a .txt file.

[untold goblet]

Vineyards!

[tender timber]

Thanks so much, will look into it. I am checking out some other nodes and if I find one that does the trick, I'll let people know

[upbeat summit]

there are a couple of nodes that can do txt files, but this way I could create a format that makes sense for my workflow. I'm using the metadata for my image management tool, so I can search and filter for prompts etc.

[cinder aspen]

are there any good and non over exaggerated workflows for ComfyUI?

[tender timber]

Them's fighting words! 🙂

[cinder aspen]

its not like everyone sees to point to use like 100 nodes only to spit out 1-4 images for preview

[upbeat summit]

Check Sytan's workflow out: https://github.com/SytanSD/Sytan-SDXL-ComfyUI

[tender timber]

I plan on doing the same, somehow get the metadata into Lightroom but the data in the JSON is just too much. I'm gonna check out https://github.com/wallish77/wlsh_nodes because it may have some of the functionality

[cinder aspen]

i may have put it the wrong way, it was not to insult others

[cinder aspen]

thx 😄

[tender timber]

Oh no, I got it.... I was making fun of those 400 node flows too 🙂

[upbeat summit]

yeah I'm creating a xmp from the metadata text files with some custom scripts I wrote heh

[upbeat summit]

see - I check every day for new comfyui custom nodes. I haven't seen this one - or forgot about it 🙂 thanks - I'll check it out

I'm not really happy with the filenames. no node offers a suffix. so I'm trying to build my own save image / save text node now. I want my filenames to be in a certain format

[tender timber]

You're welcome, I haven't looked at it yet but will do so here in a minute and I hope it works. I managed to use ChatGPT to create a Python file that loads AUTO1111 metadata direct from the PNG file into Lightroom but it still needs some tweaking to fit edge cases. I can't imagine doing that for SON file and the insane amount of variables ComfyUI has

[upbeat summit]

well it isn't really that hard. you just look for the node in the json data that includes your prompt and get that entry.

[upbeat summit]

that is what json was made for - you can easily process the data

[cinder aspen]

oh ok lol. No i dont need really much because SD isnt even my main gen AI tool. I use it as a supplement for specific needs

[shell wave]

It's hopeless guys. I can't use SDXL 😦

Auto1111 - always running out of vram.
ComfyUI - takes 25-30 mins for 1 image.

I have GTX 1660 Super 6GB VRAM. It's over 😦

[tender timber]

Oh, I get that... what I was thinking of is, if the number of nodes are variable, as are the configs for each one, it would lead to an overwhelming number of possible keywords and hierarchies for those keywords in Lightroom. Plus things like scoring as keywords... I set my script so Ligtroom could have a parent keyword for the score and a subkeyword for the first decimal palace because otherwise there'd be 100 dropdowns clogging the menu

[upbeat summit]

yeah, true. you could prepare your workflows, give your node an unique name and than target that node for all your metadata extractions

depending on what kind of data you want to extract. I use prompts (clip_g+clip_l+negative+refiner...), model and seed. the rest is saved in the image's metadata anyway

[thorny frost]

maybe they will release some pruned version de SDXL.

[upbeat summit]

we now have 2 models for SDXL, loras, fine-tuned models and if you look at some of the more elaborate workflows up to 4 - 5 models for one image gen (base diffusion+refining+upscaling+finalizing...). it's getting complex and crazy 😉

[cinder aspen]

what upscaler do you use?

which

[untold goblet]

4x_NMKD-SuperscaleV2_2k.pth

[upbeat summit]

4x-UltraSharp.pth
4x_NMKD-SuperscaleV2_2k.pth
4x_UniversalUpscalerV2-Sharp_101000_G.pth
or Topaz Photo AI

[thorny frost]

Yes. And i dont see so much improvement. So at the end of the day i find myself returning to A1111.

[trim orbit]

you'll see what you want to

[pure haven]

Oh yeah it uses like 3,5 for me lol

[vast narwhal]

Very nice

[trim orbit]

that clearly says 3 and 5 out of 6 and 0. #science

[dense chasm]

ultrasharp not bad,i use frequently

[upbeat summit]

yeah, it's great that there are choices. You can build very simple or unique, complex and wild workflows with ComfyUI.

I really like the flexibility to build my own workflows. In A1111 you are more focused on your prompt and it's not like the hood is up and you start rewiring the whole machine ;). But I like that.

[cinder aspen]

i download 4x_comic_dataset_115k and 4x_NMKD-Superscale-SP_178000_G if the latter on serves well for general purpose

[upbeat summit]

classic 🙂

[upbeat summit]

yeah I switch between _2k and SP_178000_G

[cinder aspen]

i only found SP tbh

on a site

what is even the difference

[thorny frost]

Precisely, in A1111 i focus more in the final result. Comfy is great to learn and to experiment but for working i prefer A1111. Plus all the extensions and the scripts, imag2img, inpainting, oupainting, etc. For now.

Yeah, a1111 is a complete package in many regards. ComfyUI will also get lots of new stuff in the coming weeks and months.

I'm mostly focused on prompt engineering and research. I was missing a couple of features that are really important to me like prompt editing and using fine-tunings right inside the prompt, but there are already ComfyUI custom nodes that are being developed with those features.

For me personally I would feel very restricted, locked in a cage if I would use anything other than a node based system like ComfyUI right now.

[trim orbit]

i think a1111 inadvertantly evolved towards being full integrated studio software. i don't think it's doing it very well though.

[thorny frost]

your of the scientific type. I am more of the lazy bastard type that wants everything already done. 😄

[spring fulcrum]

holy smokes... you are using Comfy now??? Awesome!!!

[trim orbit]

comfyui was very much designed with a purposed goal. Be a phat assed back end node graph for this stuff. awwwww yeah.

[cinder aspen]

this one is better

[wet nacelle]

true

[cinder aspen]

those arent upscaled tho

it takes long for my specs

[wet nacelle]

although the other one reminds me of the Nazi silhouette propaganda @cinder aspen

[indigo carbon]

yes, I am. the main reason I started adapting to ComfyUI is because Comfy said there will be AIT support for SDXL

[cinder aspen]

xD

i just have to find out how to actually use one of those upscalers

[spring fulcrum]

Advanced Infantry Training? lol

jk

[inland vessel]

i like thiss

[wet nacelle]

I get ya

[indigo carbon]

@spring fulcrum this is what AIT is

[spring fulcrum]

So that means you can train models? or LoRAs?

[vivid tide]

both

[indigo carbon]

yes, also x3 speed (as I demonstrated in the video)

[cinder aspen]

ok the upscaled is better

[inland vessel]

these are so pixelgame ready lmao

[wet nacelle]

hella

[spring fulcrum]

Are there command line args to make it go that fast? How did you get 56 its/s

[inland vessel]

im hoping for nintendo 64 lora for sdxl

[cinder aspen]

are fascism and nazism and their symbols actually censored in SDXL?

[wet nacelle]

no? maybe? I don't know yet? Test it yourself?

[cinder aspen]

gotta find out

[indigo carbon]

AIT triples speed on newer cards without changing precision or changing outputs. I usually get ~20it/s on my 4070ti, but with AIT it's times 3 faster

[cinder aspen]

seems like Sytans workflow also has downscaler for whatever reason so whatever you upscale also gets downscaled afterwards

[spring fulcrum]

I guess my question is... How do I use AIT? I've never heard of that before.

[indigo carbon]

@visual glade is working to support AIT on ComfyUI. what I used in the video I demonstrated is a custom node that only works on 1.5 models

[spring fulcrum]

ohh

😦

Well I'm sure it will be out before ya know it.. Shit moves fast in these circles

[inland vessel]

wooow this one looks amazing

[inland vessel]

ah pixel?

[pure haven]

yeah

[wet nacelle]

just pixel art

[upbeat summit]

that is low poly game art

[wet nacelle]

wrong context sorry.

You misunderstood.

[upbeat summit]

all good - I didn't want to correct you. was just stating the obvious 😉

[wet nacelle]

This why I dislike the timestamp feature.

You would be able to understand what I mean if the timestamp was always visible next to the image at all times.

[inland vessel]

yeh looks like you posted it together now

lmao

[trim orbit]

i like what discord has done with the image galleries when you post multiple in one message. but i think they should go a step further and when someone posts multiple images in a row, combine them into one gallery.

i bet people would hate the new change and find ways to break it though

i keep forgetting to do that myself. i like the feature but forget to use it

[upbeat summit]

yeah but they should really give you a preview so you don't have to post cropped heads etc

[trim orbit]

some kind of crop control would be nice.

[autumn forum]

looks like slimerancher lmao

[upbeat summit]

well it's a trade off. now it's more compact but images are getting auto-cropped. so now I'm trying to think every time before posting multiple images how to arrange them. a preview would really help 😉

[wet nacelle]

It is

[wet nacelle]

No it's always been like this.

Timestamps were always bad

[upbeat summit]

I wasn't talking about the timestamps. just the image cropping that didn't exist 8 months ago, before the gallery feature was introduced

[hardy cipher]

well as pretty much every company like this does, it will become worse and worse over time

[upbeat summit]

but yeah timestamps are confusing

[hardy cipher]

just cherish what it is now, because it'll be a little bit worse soon

[wet nacelle]

The story of Discord

[cinder aspen]

Discord is about to do MJ a favor so they apparently can make inpaint in MJ directly in Discord if i understood correctly

dunno how that is going to work out

[hardy cipher]

really? that seems a bit cumbersome. but what do I know

[trim orbit]

anyone who gets to the point where they want to inpaint will pay for photoshop instead

[upbeat summit]

discord can be a nice collaboration and community tool. almost browser / desktop app parity (electron isn't great, I know). the worst part about discord is their stance / approach to security and their unwillingness to improve it.

[trim orbit]

MJ's real competitor is Adobe and it doesn't look good for MJ

[cinder aspen]

not if they want it all "automated" plus dont want to pay for Adobe sub

but on the other hand...

[hardy cipher]

what about the new dall-e release?

[cinder aspen]

that one dude that paid 260$ in one month for MJ

[hardy cipher]

nice

[cinder aspen]

thats more than i pay for Adobe CC, Autodesk and Maxon combined per month

easily

and eben Substance

even

[hardy cipher]

I think I used up my mj tokens once and then never used it again. is that the one that uses tokens?

[cinder aspen]

no

thats DALL-E

[hardy cipher]

oh, well then that's what I did

[trim orbit]

photoshop is half the price of MJ pro

[cinder aspen]

he paid 30$ subscription + extra 50 GPU hours

[cinder aspen]

far more, bcs there is photo bundle of PS + LR for 11,99€ here

but i heard the argument from some that they dont want to pay for an overpriced product that wont even automate the work for them

[hardy cipher]

I used to pirate the adobe programs, but then had a little window pop up one day offering all the adobe suite programs for 30 a month if I just stopped pirating stuff

[cinder aspen]

i mean Firefly/gen fill is there dunno what this guy meant

plus in a few months all the fancy tools will be released either

[trim orbit]

I think MJ is just a gimmick that is sucesfully capitalizing on a small window opportunity. I dont see them pivoting to much else. They'll never beat adobe.

[hardy cipher]

happened in photoshop one day. we'd been playing cat and mouse for a while

so it was a good compromise

[cinder aspen]

until MJ comes with their web UI AND some fancy tools like SD and Adobe FF have at this point they will still be far behind in that regard

[trim orbit]

Macromedia had better tooling than adobe at one point too

[hardy cipher]

I'm loving all these anti-comfy memes on reddit. these people are a trip.

[cinder aspen]

one thing is to be said tho, MJ trained on much more images and therefore also contains copyrighted materials. Firefly doesnt so you can forget generating celebrities, famous characters etc.

[hardy cipher]

"why isn't this product I'm not paying for specifically catered to my wants and needs! I demand justicde"

[trim orbit]

They're so sulky . i think it's just a few toxic fans of the vlad and auto's UI doing it

[hardy cipher]

well, I grammer errored, there, but you get the gist

[hardy cipher]

it's so crazy to me

[trim orbit]

also comfy is hired by Stability now as i understand it, so there's all sorts of resent there

[cinder aspen]

why are they hating ComfyUI?

[trim orbit]

emotional insecurities

[hardy cipher]

because nodes scary!

[trim orbit]

lack of skills too

puberty could be a reason. hormones make people stoopid

[cinder aspen]

one can argue that they dont need that spaghetti of nodes for their needs, but why the hate

if you dont need it, dont use it

or use it according to your limitations

[hardy cipher]

I actually can't wrap my head around it. yes you can make a huge bowl of noodles and have 10,000 nodes. or you can run a few

[trim orbit]

because it's popular and they like what isn't popular. queue insecuriteis

the ego is a very fragile thing

[zealous horizon]

I'm just having fun, watching my LoRA training material get prepared 🙂 (using my v1 LoRA to prepare my v2 LoRA) to dial in the style.

[cinder aspen]

people gotta realise that there are several workflows that people want, need and use.

[hardy cipher]

I just wonder what sort of lives they live. and my iinstinct would tell me it was young people or kids, but they probably aren't

I don't know, some people just don't know how to think abstractly or solve things on their own

[cinder aspen]

my workflow doesnt have to be ideal for other people and vice versa

the context is important

but is yet ignored

[trim orbit]

this is true. take me for example. 40 and still a big kid

[hardy cipher]

yes my age is a large number as well, lol

[untold goblet]

cozy cottages 😄

[hardy cipher]

everyone posting 30 pictures at once now

those are nice cottages though

[untold goblet]

Hah sorry

[hardy cipher]

nah, it's quite alright. I am not offended

[trim orbit]

i love it when they're in one post

[untold goblet]

Yeah 10 in 1 takes up less space

[vale eagle]

people who ain't technical familiar just hate to learn something new and they already spent a lot of time to get used to A1111

[hardy cipher]

I don't really mind at all. I'm just wondering if something changed

[trim orbit]

it'll be funny when MJ releases their webui and it's just a rebranded auto1111 fork

[hardy cipher]

and that's why everyone is doing it now

wasn't commenting out of annoyance, just observation

[trim orbit]

These people should really chill out when using bleeding edge software then imo.

[hardy cipher]

I haven't really used discord much. tried to sign up like 3 years ago and it autobanned me for being a spammer when I hadn't even posted. maybe because of my vpn or something. and then it wouldn't let me use my email address to sign up

and then didn't really care to jump through hoops to use it

[trim orbit]

if they want accesible then there's services like dreamstudio or clipdrop or /gags, midjourney

[hardy cipher]

well bottom line to me is if you're not paying a penny for the service, don't expect it to be catered to your wants and whims

when discord decided I was a spammer because I used a vpn I didn't go on a meme creation campaign to express my outrage. I just used something else that worked for me

[trim orbit]

blaming the world is so much easier than personal responsibility though

[next remnant]

Any links for training resources?

[hardy cipher]

for what specifically?

[next remnant]

A LORA on SDXL 1.0 or a base model.

[cinder aspen]

the same idiots that claim that other workflows than theirs are just "dogsh*t"

[trim orbit]

https://github.com/bmaltais/kohya_ss#about-sdxl-training

[trim orbit]

i think that's a wholly separate problem. ego and pride tied to these releases.

[hardy cipher]

well if you're look for sdxl stuff go to huggingface, or prepare for some waifu nsfw fun and go to civitai

I have to wonder what sort of impact that website has on the userbase, lol

[trim orbit]

its more that the userbase has had an effect on that website, and it's become a feedback loop

[hardy cipher]

the first time I went there I was quite perplexed, and a bit horrified. not really a prude about things, but my goodness

[cinder aspen]

yeah

[hardy cipher]

just didn't realize so many people took it to that level, lol

[trim orbit]

i stopped talking to people about generative AI when i realized they'd google it and see Civit and then think that's how i use it

[ionic dragon]

when we train a lora, is it always the last produced lora is better than the ones produced in between?

[cinder aspen]

i actually swore not to get into this (ComfyUI based workflow) kind of stuff before. Well i didnt swear but i said i dont want to get there

[trim orbit]

depends on the training parameters. sometimes i've found that the one made halfway through was the best. x/y grids help a lot for testing

[hardy cipher]

and then even with open source language models similar things going on. it's just something that I missed I guess. I knew people were into anime, but not at such a weird level

[cinder aspen]

this and all the uneducated people on art that think learning to do art properly takes supertalent and the process of doing it by yourself instead of using generative AI is horrible and not worth it and would take a tremendous time to get there

[hardy cipher]

I haven't trained loras in months, and then only on 1.5. I'm assuming it's similiar with sdxl?

I should probably look that up

[ionic dragon]

so for that a1111 is better to test?

[trim orbit]

[broken hare]

@hardy cipher 5 to 10 minutes? Whaaa?

[hardy cipher]

that's something I don't really remember why I remember

are you loading models quickly, crate?

[peak dove]

[broken hare]

It's an i7 and a rtx Quattro 4000

I think switching through checkpoints is always instant in comfyui

[hardy cipher]

well if you can flip through them instantly I'm quite happy for you. but I have not had any instance in a1111 or comfy on either my pc or on colab in which they changed instantly

[peak dove]

I just want to make my own.pt files on ComfyUI

[dense chasm]

SDXL requires more GPU VRAM highly especially just rolled out

[cinder aspen]

man he was supposed to be a nazi general with Hitler moustache O_O is there img2img for SDXL 1.0?

[hardy cipher]

so I would like to congratulate you on your space age technlology

[peak dove]

SDXL .pt files at that!!!

[hardy cipher]

I know, this guy is trashtalking because I said the models take a while to load

[hardy cipher]

I think it was a bit of humblebragging

[dense chasm]

you'd better train your own small size lora model, a better choice

[broken hare]

I'm not trashyalking.....u honestly had no idea you could even have that issue in comfy...mine totally do lag in auto so I know what you mean

[hardy cipher]

they don't lag

they take a while to load initially

[dense chasm]

there are a lot of open source codes in github with minimized vram usage, good luck

[hardy cipher]

as does anything

[cinder aspen]

my specs arent ideal either but yeah, SDXL at least works

although not as fast as id like

[hardy cipher]

I've never had a single complaint about it

but other people I guess think I should feel bad about it

[cinder aspen]

next year or in 2 i will have a self built beast

i need it anyway

[broken hare]

Anyway my point here was, what new fine tunes do you guys like? I'm already kind of done with the base

[vale eagle]

Admin cmd, mklink /d

[visual glade]

model load time on comfyui is limited by your drive read speed

or your ram if it starts paging when loading it

[hardy cipher]

I have 64 gb ddr4 and a solid state drive. not sure how much space it needs to work with though

[peak dove]

Is that all? 🙂

[trim orbit]

my model load times caught turbo speed when i bought a new gen 4 nvme drive

[hardy cipher]

my only bottleneck is the gpu. and since it's a laptop, not really a small task to upgrade that

[vale eagle]

you need to put the source and target after the command. But I forget which one first

[kindred plinth]

Idk my models load pretty quickly on my RTX4090ti, I have 1tb ram btw

[dense chasm]

agreed,self trained model load maybe time saving,more simple and well read,no mention some nodes not necessary

[cinder aspen]

next year a RTX 4090, 64 GB DDR5 RAM or 128 GB if they finally fix the issue until then and i9 13900K processor. All that unless newer gen parts come out

[hardy cipher]

idk, my models load alright on my dual a100 server

[cinder aspen]

and i iwont have to think about that anymore

[hardy cipher]

it's just the law of diminishing returns with high end gpus

[dense chasm]

next year?AI speed if you endure one month, one year for your life span

[hardy cipher]

I just don't know if I want to drop 1500 dollars on one, lol

it's a trade-off between complexity and quality

they're calling it a neural VPU. vision processing unit i think. it'll probably work with things like depth estimation or motion vectors.

anyone has any lora workflows?

[dense chasm]

https://huggingface.co/frank-chieng/michelleyeoh/blob/main/sdxl1.0base_lora_upscale.json it's the basic base model chain with lora and refine upscaling workflow,the github comfy examples of lora for consideration,anyway it's a big trade-off between complexity and quality of final images

[dense chasm]

u-net and xformers should indulge in for a while,denoise is very interesting process

[ionic dragon]

how to download the file

i dont see any option

[dense chasm]

you can download this image and drag it into comfy workflow

[vale eagle]

base model->load lora->base ksampler should work fine.

[dense chasm]

how about the refine model?sdxl is much more gpu vram loaded,the community is making every efforts on the new models now,no mention of diffusers,PR on the way

[vale eagle]

Do you mean using lora with refiner?

You might try Sytan 1.0 workflow which has upscale with 3rd ksampler using the base. It could also apply the lora on the 3rd ksampler to increase the lora likeness after the refiner.

[fleet harness]

setting up my ComfyUI workflow like:

[dense chasm]

it's good to know,Sytan workflow is great as far as i know

[wet nacelle]

@mossy canopy The way that you set up the upscaler is fantastic. I don't use it often due to how long it takes but what I do notice is that it retains the texture and grit detail of the base image unlike all the other ones I've used.

To share a bit of my current workflow. It likes refiner guided noise (1~3 steps) -> [base + lora-> refiner] * N loop -> 2x upscale with base + (lora* 0.65 strength)

[trim orbit]

i grabbed a pack of various depthmaps from comfynet, and the depth model sarge released for XL really isn't accurate at all

I usually target maximum details with easy to understand workflow.. so anyone can tweak it to their needs including me..

@dense chasm can you guide me how to use kohya scripts?

[dense chasm]

it's a long story.i run on google colabs,if you have a 16-24G vram, you can run local well enough with kohya scripts,diffusers asks for more

youtube has a bunch of lora training of sdxl as well,but not for more details

[wet nacelle]

i see, a lot of developers confused or not give a shit of kohya cuz the original is japanese annotation, but we have google translation loll..

[vale eagle]

left is [base + 0.85 loha -> refiner] * 5 loop, right is the left -> 2x upscale -> (base + 0.65 loha) * 0.65 strength denoise. The upscale part really help to fix the eyes and add detail.

i could photoshop his face into this

[trim orbit]

just roop'er

[cinder aspen]

hmm?

[trim orbit]

roop a doop

[trim orbit]

https://github.com/s0md3v/roop

[cinder aspen]

if i had better spec i could generate much more images at once with a high speed

[trim orbit]

same man. same

[cinder aspen]

didnt even know about this lol

i mean i enjoy doing it myself too but gotta try this one as well

[trim orbit]

doing it yourself has benefits too. roop always has a level of synthetic to it

[lusty wolf]

Apocalyptic Barbie...

[trim orbit]

for comfyui i've set this and this up to use it with gens. https://github.com/ssitu/ComfyUI_roop https://civitai.com/models/24690/comfyui-facerestore-node

[lusty wolf]

Roop has not been updated for a long time for ComfyUI. Does not play well with MTB nodes... had to delete it in the old end.

[cinder aspen]

true, although one can do it with gen AI and then work on top of it with PS for example. Sometimes the effort isnt worth it and the generated stuff makes it only harder

[cinder aspen]

had to go through that experience

[trim orbit]

i used it yesterday. updated last week on the link i gave. what's MTB nodes?

[cinder aspen]

hm

[trim orbit]

the node i linked just takes an image input

[cinder aspen]

bro what happend to you Jensen

[trim orbit]

the first link i gave is standalone roop

[wet nacelle]

Jim did

@cinder aspen

Jensen = Jim + Henson = Jim Henson

[cinder aspen]

cant wait for the coming 2 months

[lusty wolf]

I will check, but been using MTB instead, it has everything you need... https://github.com/melMass/comfy_mtb

[trim orbit]

i dont think that an animation toolset being incompatible is a reason to tell someone not to bother with roop.

especially when the context is a single face swap

[lusty wolf]

That's not what I did... why diss me if I'm telling you my experience... use it, or dont...

[tender timber]

So, am I an office numpty or, is this just not possible? In the example ComfyUI SDXL workflow here: https://comfyanonymous.github.io/ComfyUI_examples/sdxl/, the STEPS node is a primitive and the output is determined when you connect it to a follow on node, in this case the steps input in the KSAMPLER. For the life of me, I cannot get that output to connect to a node that ALSO accepts an integer. Has anyone been able to do so? It looks like you can't even add a reroute to it after it's connected to steps, which is odd. The unattached node is what I am trying to connect to. Any ideas?

[trim orbit]

misinformation irks me. people confidently saying something like "roop hasn't been updated for a long time" when the github shows consistency. makes me all dissy.

perhaps i misunderstood your point. your reply was to someone expressing interest. but like you said, use it or don't . it's just another tool.

[vernal cloak]

I gather what i'm seeing in A1111, while using SDXL. Is the VAE decoder hitching?
It get's close to finishing a render and the progress bar pauses at 80% and then completes the image after a few seconds of waiting.
Does anyone else have this issue?
I wonder if A1111 could fix this in the future... 🙃

[lusty wolf]

You must have gotten off he wrong side of bed... was trying to help... I really dit have a bad time trying to run both... so I haven't seen that it was updated... just take from it, don't run both at the same time, I will check now, if the issue was solved... just don't make me your punching bag pls.

[trim orbit]

🙄 .

[lusty wolf]

I see there is 3 now... do you experience of the other 2? All referring to roop...

[trim orbit]

you're not showing me that roop lacks updates if you think that's what you're doing

[lusty wolf]

Error still persists... I will try the other.

[trim orbit]

its not about me or you. the information you gave was that roop hasn't been updated for comfyui towards someone expressing interest. time and a place for your complaints.

seems like its more of an mtb developer problem too. one would expect them to be compatible wiht other tools. not the other way around

[lusty wolf]

Ok I'm out... not here to be misinterpreted and reprimanded!

[ionic gulch]

Part of it may be that ComfyUI gets pushed by SF heavily, even for a target audience and for workflows that would work better in a solution like A1111 or SD.Next - in the next step SF even tries to offer a similar frontend. Some of the staff also talked down other solutions - things like that will cause a reaction, even without fanboys. The main problem I see is that if all tools are controlled by SF they can push censored stuff, watermarks, etc. even harder, because their own tools - the new defacto standard - will not make them optional.

[gloomy barn]

With comfy, I get awful eyes

[trim orbit]

the tools are open source. this is just conspiracy theorizing garbage

[trim orbit]

impactpack has a great detailer node

[ionic gulch]

sure, but 99% won't use forks, just the thing some youtube influencer showed them.

[trim orbit]

why be concerned about watermarks when also expecting every image to have metadata?

[ionic gulch]

metadata can be removed easily. watermarks can't without reducing quality.

[trim orbit]

open sourced. watermark can be removed with one # character probably

[clever verge]

If one starts at step 0 and stops at step 31 why will comfy only do 31 steps?

[ionic gulch]

i mean at a later time. not by editing the code or forking

[trim orbit]

we're also talking about a denoising deep learned system. wouldn't be hard to train it to detect and flawlessly remove the watermark either. It's just all such conspiracy hubbub. usually comes back to world government tracking us all nonsense.

[vale eagle]

how many steps should it do when end of steps already set at 31?

[clever verge]

32 if my logic is correct.

[trim orbit]

especially since the watermark would be created by open sourced code. teaching a system is even easier when you have a fundamental ground truth to provide it

[cinder aspen]

With SF you mean Stability AI itselfs

[rustic garnet]

this is the most stupid explanation I ever heard 😂

[trim orbit]

the server is called stable foundation so i guess they mean stability

[cinder aspen]

So people are mad that the tool is eventually landing in their hand instead of "the people"?

[rustic garnet]

it seems people don't know what open source means

[vale eagle]

step 0 didnt do anything, I think

[trim orbit]

it's a conspiracy to track us and control us and the 15min cities!!

[cinder aspen]

Smells like radical/militant FOSS people

[ionic dragon]

tl:dr
many ppl even think that open source mean free

[ionic gulch]

once you are the marked leader and all standard tools are in your control, you can influence things a lot and also change the rules.
overall i just wanted to mention that things like that can cause reactions - i myself use comfy without much hesitation. (at least for workflows like txt2img that work better than other solutions)

[trim orbit]

hmm yes. recognizing that the licenses the code is under are free and permissive is radical fanatic behavior. ||/s||

[cinder aspen]

Adobe wants to know your location

[clever verge]

That's odd.

[cinder aspen]

[trim orbit]

https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI/blob/master/LICENSE iz a giant global conzpirazies guyz

[vale eagle]

Might be wrong. I am not confirmed

[rustic garnet]

there is no control in open source tools. Everyone can make his own forks

[trim orbit]

gonna trackzx you!

[cinder aspen]

I mean people that react like idiots for every single sht that in their eyes endangers their "autonomy" and "free stuff

[lusty wolf]

There is 4 face swap nodes you can try... MTB and the original Roop and 2 other... Haven't tried it.

[queen adder]

is it generally understood that more sampling steps creates more weird skin folds and errors? or is it just me.

[trim orbit]

guyz lets make a standard to control all the other standardz!

[vale eagle]

Stability try to control our mind by releasing SDXL. We should use SD1.5 which is save. Oh, SD1.5 was also released by Stability. We should use MJ instead

[trim orbit]

no 1.5 was runway ml who won't release gen 2 now

[ionic gulch]

yes, but most people don't. so controlling the standard fork still gives you much control. just as people still use a1111 for sdxl, even if sd.next has much better implementation at the moment.

[trim orbit]

how's that control going for a1111?

[vale eagle]

hmmm, you are right.

[rustic garnet]

so you expect other people to implement tools for you and at the same time blame them for doing so?

[ionic gulch]

quite well, if you see that many influencers still advertise it over sd.next, just because a1111 generates more clicks.

[rustic garnet]

maybe just learn programming yourself

[strange mist]

but 1.5 was released by runway ML, stability didn't even want to release the model 😒 ||/j||

[ionic gulch]

i was just giving one reason why there is resistance to the comfyui push. pushing always results in resistance - that's literally a law of physics (and life in general).

[fleet harness]

When you are having a good time regardless

[cinder aspen]

thank you 🙂

[glad flint]

I love comfyui because

1. it works and doesn't crash on my system
2. if I break a setting I can just load my original JSON and everything is back to normal

it is time for my own good to shut down my SD terminal 😭
I need to do actual work on my computer and not accumulate anymore GB of images until I've sorted what I have

[cyan crown]

anyone knows a way to fix hands?

[spring fulcrum]

nope

[cyan crown]

😦

[ionic dragon]

no one knows how to fix hands

[clever verge]

think it does not end at step, it's rather end before step

[hardy cipher]

stable diffusion models don't understand anatomy

[cinder aspen]

not just SD models

[hardy cipher]

well tbf neither do I

[cyan crown]

well Midjourney in some way fixed them

[cinder aspen]

me neither but i have to learn anatomy

[hardy cipher]

well I think if you start creating a more hybrid scenario as far as models are concerned it might be taken care of. but visually I don' t know if it's possible to really fully grasp the 4 fingers and a thumb thing

sdxl does a lot better it seems

[agile quarry]

is DDIM_eta just 'eta' ? is there any custom node that would let me paste in whatever variable I'd want to try and expose? https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI/blob/c5d7593ccfb4dd3a97175e01b9fa883086f5d8b4/comfy/ldm/models/diffusion/ddim.py

[cyan crown]

problem for me is not 4 fingers, but distorted

[hardy cipher]

that too

[peak dove]

😄

[visual glade]

one reason why comfyui is being "pushed" is just because if a1111 has that much trouble getting a simple base + refiner pipeline implemented properly there's no way they are going to be able to keep up with what's coming next

so it's better for users to start moving to tools that will keep up

[vernal cloak]

Agreed. I think there was just people panicking over the thought of using tools that are more complex/complicated.

[vernal cloak]

The community we eventually get both, with ComfyUI and a more basic UI alternative. Whether or not A1111 can catch up or not. It will just be a matter of time before things rebalance again.
Another thing is, some indaviduals tend to believe that they are being minipulated by big corporations, to use or do certian things. (This isn't the case here) But that is what some of them may have thought.

[cinder aspen]

for some people it can be suboptimal, tbh for me its overkill to use ComfyUI but i use it more for fun or supplementary for my main gen AI tool

but trust me, there are more complicated stuff than this

also, it doesnt have to be a spaghetti of nodes

you can also have a simplistic workflow

[indigo carbon]

yeah, I feel like the meta for the future of this community is to use ComfyUI as a backend, and like a fancy UI with a bunch of features as a frontend. this way you get maximum efficiency and still have a chill interface

[hot rover]

Indeed, Gradio seems like a major bottleneck.

[upbeat summit]

30.58s without / 25.54s with --gpu-only - that's a lot

[vernal cloak]

Either way. It's great that we have both. Really great. We have just got a issue with some UI that are still heavily relied on to catch up. Which i admit must be pretty irritating for the SAI staff to say the least. Something will be done eventually. I'm sure.

[cinder aspen]

people got too much in comfort zone, they better not come up with "adapt or die" because they are already dead by now

[trail bay]

I want to keep things more simple since some of the Comfy workflows are already messy/busy. Do I need to think about the 0.9 VAE? like is it that much better to use it? vs just the 1.0 base and refiner as they are?

[visual glade]

yeah for the people who don't want to deal with the nodes someone just has to take a good workflow and make a nice UI that just sends that workflow to the comfyui backend and just shows the generated images

[upbeat summit]

this is how it should be

[cinder aspen]

its good when there are multiple ways to work with a tool including having different UIs

but the critique remains, people got too lazy and too much in comfort zone

foreshadowing degeneration

[indigo carbon]

I think the best idea is to have like a frontend UI that has all A1111 features and is capable of changing the ComfyUI workflow for more customization

[trail bay]

I mean yeah, there should be a frontend with the most commonly adjusted settings visible, and have options to select the most frequently used workflows or whatever. and then advanced settings etc. for adjustments. that is how lots of programs work. finding that balance. currently, even though it has helped me understand how it works and is fast, comfyui doesn't have this. Isn't there some kind of Stable Swarm thing that uses Comfy as a backend?

[indigo carbon]

heck, maybe even stable studio is capable of that

[trail bay]

the biggest issue I have when loading a new workflow is, without destroying the neat arrangements, I can't track what connects to what

maybe I'm missing a shortcut or something, like when I select an output/input to a node, to tell what the input/output is that is connected

so I end up just dragging stuff apart for the first time when I'm figuring out what the workflow is actually doing. then I'm like Aha! then I make it neat again. which is okay I guess

but I've only dealt with 2 workflows or something. what happens when every fine tune has it's own, which appears to be the case?

[hardy cipher]

well you can just revert back right?

takes like .5 seconds to load

[visual glade]

yeah you can just reload it after

[trail bay]

yeah I do that.

[icy brook]

what's the easiest way to try out a sdxl lora I just trained if I can only do it online?

[trail bay]

makes me not want to try new ones though that is for sure haha. I'll let the fine tunes mature and see what is most popular first

[indigo carbon]

also, is there a feature to have like ctrl+z in comfy? I feel like that would be insanely useful when making workflows

[trail bay]

but I do enjoy how ComfyUI allows me to better under how the internals work. Since I'm already on the path to understanding that haha

[hardy cipher]

I push contol z

control

you should try it out, it does something

[indigo carbon]

like ComfyUI is somewhat similar to making game shaders and materials and whatnot. all of those have a ctrl+z mechanism for when you fuck up and want to go back

[hardy cipher]

one thing I can't figure out is why some workflows won't load for me. I can load most of them. and then I can load most of the images from a1111 that I've tried and it'll show me the workflow I used there. but then some workflows just won't load. and some images won't load their workflwos. and I can't really figure out why

[icy brook]

anyone?

[visual glade]

colab maybe?

[hardy cipher]

I literally can't run comfy on colab. I deleted it all from my drive, started over, reinstalled. and that damn ip address/password is always wrong. I have no idea what the deal is

[ionic dragon]

use colab

[ionic dragon]

use stableswarm

[hardy cipher]

yeah, i have that setup. haven't started using it yet

also, I googled swarmui yesterday and that's a github for robot swarms

fyi, if you're into robot swarms

[cinder aspen]

i am

_>

[trail bay]

if I have dual 4090s, should I be trying StableSwarm? or just sticking to ComfyUI more directly? I don't know much about StableSwarm, is there an official blog/article about it from SAI? Thanks

[hardy cipher]

dual 4090, lol

but why?

[cinder aspen]

dual 4090 just for SD?

[trail bay]

i'm not $$ enough to have A100 etc.

[hardy cipher]

nah, you need an H100

[trail bay]

no, I have it for other reasons, I just have it. normally I just set primary as #1 instead of #0 as I might be gaming while training on the other,

but say I Want to do 100 images, then it might matter

anyways it isn't a big deal

[vernal cloak]

I gather what i'm seeing in A1111, while using SDXL. Is the VAE decoder hitching?
It get's close to finishing a render and the progress bar pauses at 80% and then completes the image after a few seconds of waiting.
Does anyone else have this issue?
I wonder if A1111 could fix this in the future... 🙃
.
I posted this earlier, but i don't think anyone saw. I gather this issue isn't fixable yet?
(I have a 3080, btw.)

[hardy cipher]

1024x1024?

[vernal cloak]

768x768 m8

20 steps

[visual glade]

maybe I should switch the localtunnel in the colab to that cloudflare thing others are using then

[hardy cipher]

hmm, not sure. if it's in a1111 all kindof fun stuff going on in there

[hardy cipher]

has anyone else had the same issue I mentioned? I'm just wondering if it's something on my end or what's going on

but really expected it to work when I reinstalled. just odd

[thorny frost]

Nvidia is going to build a supercomputer with 4.600 H100 to run AI. Skynet on steroids.

[hardy cipher]

really? well if so, that's a lot of something they'll be able to do

not sure what, but something

[ionic dragon]

how much improvement can we observe from a lora trained at 4k steps and 17k steps

[hardy cipher]

I've had them get worse with too many steps

but not sure what method you're using or if it woudl work the same

main thing is there should always be progress as far as the model's accuracy. once it stops getting ore accurate then it starts overfitting

*more

[hardy cipher]

what are you using to train it?

[ionic dragon]

face

[hardy cipher]

I meant what method

[cyan crown]

but when is overfitting?

70 steps are enough?

[hardy cipher]

there aer methods of gauging progress

and there isn't one right answer

[hardy cipher]

there are countless options as far as this stuff is concerned. but think of it like you're carving the training into wood or something. so up to a point you're just creating concept, adding the details, refining them. but then get to a point where you can't really train it anymore. it knows all it can know from your data. so after that you're just carving into the wood deeper

but it's not learning anymore

I mean, it is sort of learning in a sense, but it's not learning in a way you want it to learn

[cyan crown]

I tried training a lora with 5600 steps, but results are poor

very poor

while with SD 1.5 were great

[hardy cipher]

what method? steps are arbitrary, depends on the method you use, learning rate, etc

[cyan crown]

0.0004

constant

this

it also took 4 hours on a 4070.....

loss at the end was like 0.15

[hardy cipher]

I don't know. I'm sure someone here knows a lot more than me. I'm just telling you what I know about the concept in general. haven't tried training anything on sdxl

[visual glade]

the colab now has a cell to use cloudflared

[trim orbit]

its voodoo. throw some chicken bones at it

[hardy cipher]

whoa, dude. that's awesome! thanks!

[visual glade]

I was going to add it eventually since localtunnel is a bit annoying with the ip/password thing

[hardy cipher]

I've been a bit crippled with trying to do too much with sdxl using my 6gb of vram, lol

[cinder aspen]

same with me and my RTX 2070 on laptop

[hardy cipher]

yeah, I'm still confused by why it wouldn't work for me. makes no sense to me, but that's not uncommon for me

[cinder aspen]

took me a few minutes to get 4x base rendered images + 4x upscaled images

at the same time

[hardy cipher]

need to try out some lora training now

it actually doesn't do a terrible job considering.but once I get past 1024x1024 it gets mad at me

well I can upscale, but then sending it back through to render anything becomes a real grind

does anyone run loras or skip steps on the refiner model or the negative conditioning?

curious about running loras on the negative conditioning, seems like it could be strategically beneficial at times

my negative output image is pretty legit. not sure what's going on there

[upbeat summit]

hmmm... running with --gpu-only after a couple of generations GPU stays at 100% while generating but it's not progressing. 100% gpu but progress is frozen... time to investigate

[hardy cipher]

that's no good

[upbeat summit]

yes, but when it works it's faster (30s without / 25s with - for my current settings) but something is apparently wrong heh. it doesn't happen without --gpu-only

[rustic garnet]

your dim is unnecessary high and you should not train text encoder with that

you probably totally overfit

train unet only

SDXL is easier and faster to train than 1.5. I got much better results with SDXL Loras than with 1.5

[cyan crown]

Do you have a good json? I'm training a style not a person

[rustic garnet]

just add the option to prevent text encoder training

[cyan crown]

but faster?

with 1.5 it takes 20 min with same steps. sdxl 4 h

[rustic garnet]

depends, sdxl has much more parameters, so it takes longer. But it needs way fewer steps to learn something

[cyan crown]

can you share a sample json to train a style with kohja?

[wet raven]

@midnight shuttle "xy_grid.py" is either no longer used or something.
the new file that doesn't cause problems is xyz_grid.py
so i disabled/removed xy_grid.py and no more error.

[hardy cipher]

I'm going to try to load that json on colab in a bit to investigate. curious to see if I can decipher what's going on

I mostly just trained dreambooth models before, but the entire checkpoints. then figured out how to extra the loras from those. but havne't tried anything with sdxl

*extract

[thorny frost]

tried the same exercise with 120 styles of cats like my previous post (search for it to compare) this time with Dreamshaper 8 (SD1.5 based) not even close to sdxlUnstableDiffusers_xl quality

[copper rose]

Gonna be training a model on 5000 images, any recommendations for dreambooth training? Do I need to use naturalization?

[hardy cipher]

kitties

[copper rose]

Learning rates, epochs, all of that im not familiar with model training only loras

[hardy cipher]

I was using like 5-20 pictures with dreambooth, lol

[midnight shuttle]

If the learning rate is too high, the training can "overshoot" and miss the optimal state. If the learning rate is to low it will take forever to train the model. So having a learning rate that's a bit too low is better than too high.

[fierce umbra]

does anyone have a guide on creating a sdxl checkpoint?

[copper rose]

I was using 0.001 for loras bit I figure thats far too high for model training

[civic sigil]

Is there any way to do gradient accumulation?

[midnight shuttle]

Hyperparameters such as learning rate can really only be optimized by trial and error. Try a few different rates and see which one produces better results.

[hardy cipher]

I feel like a bit of a dumbo asking, but what's the most efficient method for installing extra node packs in comfy while using colab? should i install the manager? thought about just copying them into the folder but then I can't imagine that'll work out too well

[vital ermine]

@nimble heart This sucks if true. https://wccftech.com/amd-rdna-4-navi-4x-lineup-rumored-to-not-include-any-high-end-gpus/

[midnight shuttle]

Focusing resources on Instinct maybe?

[vital ermine]

I bet so

MI350 or 400

soon enough gamers will be glad to get any gpus. response from the industry...shut up and go console

[midnight shuttle]

Console or cloud streaming. Cloud streaming is the way of the future. Full control of everything and no piracy.

[vital ermine]

Yep, except too many have not better than dial up

[trim orbit]

if its true i bet then it justmeans the 8990xtx will be another rdna3 . but i did predict AMD would exit out of the high end gaming market now that intel is coming to town

[midnight shuttle]

It will be crazy if Intel becomes the GPU leader for consumers. I hope they will also have some good AI support.

[trim orbit]

i dont think they're ready to exit high end yet and this rumor is just suggesting rdna4 is mobile focused

[agile quarry]

in comfys Collab there's the section with all the models downloads you can uncomment. one of those lines is to install a custom node for controlnets just modify that with the git url you want

[visual glade]

I would bet on intel more than AMD since their code is better

[hardy cipher]

brilliant. thanks.

[crisp owl]

I made a Workflow for Image2Image using SDXL. It's mostly automated, will be making a few tweaks to it based off suggestions (first will be an auto image scale adjuster based off the input image).
The steps across the models are automatically dynamically adjusted based off your selected 0-100% denoising value.

So while this doesn't offer total flexibility in being able to adjust your own steps, it's a pretty fool-proof workflow.

Any other suggestions are welcome.

https://civitai.com/models/123048

[thorny frost]

love random prompts with sdxl

it is ideal for a lazy person lke me

[crisp owl]

May integrate a random prompt option to my flow, I've seen some great stuff with that as well

[thorny frost]

i am using a1111 and the one button script. there should be some node for it in comfy too.

[midnight shuttle]

A fun extension could be a big board of switches, knobs, sliders that are used to directly generate weights without even using CLIP. So you would adjust all the controls and see what comes out.

[crisp owl]

I'm gonna be taking a look at the frontend code soon and seeing if I can fiddle my way around the error redwalls that come with switching off nodes but leaving input connections.
If I can figure that out, could make some nice toggle workflows

[hardy cipher]

comfyui is basically like a modular synth environment, but with ai stuff instead

[midnight shuttle]

Yes but it still uses prompts. This extension I am talking about would only be for fun not for practical use. Just a fun way to generate images by trial and error and not using any words.

[hardy cipher]

well there might be a way to set it up so it effectively scrolls you through the latent space. not sure how all that would work. but people smarter than me mmight

[midnight shuttle]

I would just look at see how weights get assigned by CLIP and instead make like 50 different controls that generate weights in a deterministic but incomprehensible way. I'll never have time to do it but it could be a fun toy. Only a toy though.

[hardy cipher]

I like the unclip model concept, but doesn't seem super popular for some reason

[glad fulcrum]

Is there a bot to generate images in the discord ?

[thorny frost]

there are 10 bots

wow

[indigo carbon]

really? I thought the most powerful CPU is that one AMD made, right?

[hardy cipher]

what's jesus got going up up there?

[indigo carbon]

"Thread Ripper" I think?

[thorny frost]

random things

[hardy cipher]

looks like he might be getting into a bit of grab ass hijinx

[hardy cipher]

nice

[thorny frost]

gods wrath because jesus pic

Wtf?

[hardy cipher]

dude, I had a random mushroom cloud appear in one of my images yesterday

[wintry sage]

Is there a way to upload photos and have SDXL change them like you can do with Midjourney?

[thorny frost]

yeah, mushrooms happen

[thorny frost]

there are ways, but it is better to wait for sdxl controlnet to be released

vert creepy

[hardy cipher]

32 mb image file, lol. good lord

[hardy cipher]

it got a biit deep fried in the rendering, but I do believe that's a mushroom cloud. didn't ask for such a thing

[thorny frost]

that is a weird image. Looks more like news than AI

[hardy cipher]

what's weird is I now hold my ai images to a higher standard than actual images

or photographs rather

I zoom in on them and realize the detail isn't on point in the distance and that does not work for me

[thorny frost]

looks like a photography of beirut after the beirut nitrate explosion

[hardy cipher]

man, what's weird is it was just making normal weird stuff and then that popped out of nowhere

[thorny frost]

yep. It is like the jesus pic.

[hardy cipher]

this guy did it, whoever that is

[thorny frost]

that is good to finish this session

[thorny frost]

man, you have a peculiar style

[hardy cipher]

yeah, just trying to do things a bit outside the norm

[untold goblet]

Anyone doing "Upscale Mixed Diff" like in @high skiff's workflow? I'm trying to prevent it from smoothing out the final result but I'm not very successful..

[hardy cipher]

ooh, got the manager installed on my colab comfy. time to get the party started

[foggy notch]

this discord is not related to comfyUI or ?

cuz i cant run server backend of main.py

[split magnet]

You could probably get help with that here still, but it's not directly related

[foggy notch]

well i downloaded stabilityAI the windows installer that does everything automatic and only on the last step when im already in the web gui now it doesnt wanna open or read comfyAI main.py the script does some things and then windows asks me how to open the file i select powershell and nothing happens - backend error - i cant generate any AI images im using a 6700 xt aswell tho

[split magnet]

you should ask your questions in #🤝｜tech-support though

[foggy notch]

ups

[high skiff]

I'm not sure why that would be happening, and all of my example images I have given, there's really no smoothing of detail

Perhaps it's the pixel upscaler you are using

Or, if you changed the step count/scheduler/sampler, then that would likely have negative effects

[hardy cipher]

what really grinds my gears is I haven't been able to load your workflows for some reason. my install just won't load them and I don't know why

[untold goblet]

@high skiff It might be be the upscaler but it doesn't look like it imo, i'm also using the same one as you: "4x_NMKD-SuperscaleV2_2k.pth"

And the smoothing is pretty minimal

[heady vale]

yep. it was taking longer to tune the mixed upscale settings than to just use Ultimate Upscaler. So when using that workflow I dont use it

I have my own upscale workflow now so dont use Sytan's file much now

[visual glade]

AI is much more a software problem than a hardware one

AMD is good at hardware but their software isn't great

[untold goblet]

@heady vale Would you mind sharing that workflow?

[heady vale]

not just yet. Im still working on it

[untold goblet]

gotcha

[indigo carbon]

True. ROCm isn't even close to CUDA. Even if it is, it takes AMD like half a year to catch up to Nvidia, and by the time AMD does that, Nvidia already updated like 7 damn times
