Overview Extensions are a game-changing feature for Automatic1111, offering the capability to introduce functionalities not originally included in the main program. Imagine equipping a car with wings and a jet engine to transform it into a flying vehicle – that’s the level of enhancement we’re talking about. Installing an extension opens up a new realm …
Problem to solve – Overview of Hires. fix To understand the need for a high-resolution fix, often referred to as ‘Hires. fix,’ see the photo below where the faces resemble characters from a horror movie, while the rest of the image appears normal. At the default 512×512 resolution, Stable Diffusion can struggle with rendering detailed …
Textual Inversion offers a way to modify Stable Diffusion models with custom data in Automatic1111. You can adjust image generation by specifying the embedding file name in either the positive or negative prompt, or both. For an in-depth understanding of Textual Inversion, please refer to our comprehensive guide How to use Textual Inversion with ComfyUI. …

What is LoRA? LoRA, is one of the popular ways to customize Stable Diffusion models. A LoRA model is a supplementary model that works with a regular Stable Diffusion model to modify the model’s behavior with specific custom data so that the combination of the full model and the LoRA can produce images that mirror …
CodeFormer, an advanced face restoration tool, is integrated into Automatic1111. It excels in restoring faces that are more degraded than those typically handled by GFP-GAN. A key feature of CodeFormer is its adjustable parameter, ‘weight,’ which can be adjusted to level of restoration you want to apply based on the extent of damage in the …
GFP-GAN is a cutting-edge software technology designed for face restoration in images. It incorporates a U-Net-based degradation removal module that works alongside a pretrained face GAN, such as StyleGAN2 to restore a face in the image [1]. GFP-GAN represents one of the most remarkable technologies I’ve encountered. Upon its release, I used it to restore …
