SDForAll
Hello, It's u/EuphoricPenguin22, one of the moderators over at our subreddit. I'm the owner and maintainer of NormalCity, and welcome you to the official Lemmy counterpart of SDForAll. Things might be getting off to a slow start, but we're working on making (this) SDForAll and all of NormalCity a place you actually want to be. Our rules, located on the sidebar, are written to be the closest equivalent possible to what is expected on Reddit, so there should be no surprises there. NormalCity also has instance-wide rules, which you can read [here](https://normalcity.life/post/972). These are analogous to Reddit's code of conduct, although they are tailored to the needs and goals of this instance. In any case, feel free to say hello in the comments. I'll be posting SD-related stuff here as I can; hopefully this will provide you with an adequate replacement to our subreddit in time. With third-party app support ending, I can easily relate to the aversion to the official mobile apps. Sincerely, u/EuphoricPenguin22
Prompt: `A modern smartphone picture of a man riding a motorcycle in front of a row of brightly-colored buildings.` Settings: Rendered using various steps and CFG values, Euler a for the sampler, no manual VAE override (default VAE), and no refiner model. All images were generated at 1024*1024. This is using the 1.0 version of SDXL. Summary: Subjectively, 50-200 steps look best, with higher step counts generally adding more detail. A CFG of 7-10 is generally best, as going over will tend to overbake, as we've seen in earlier SD models. Prompting and the refiner model aside, it seems like the fundamental settings you're used to using will probably still hold true for SDXL. Granted, prompting is a bit easier for photorealistic outputs now, and the refiner model might allow you to use fewer steps for the initial generation with the base model.
