You generated your first images using Fooocus. You can find the generated images under Fooocus/outputs/<year>-<month>-<day> directory. If it’s January 21, 2024, then the folder name should be Fooocus/outputs/2024-01-21.
If you want to change the number of images generated at the same time, check the Advanced checkbox.
Now Settings tab will open up on which you can select the image size (Aspect Ratio) and the number of images (Image Number) to generate.
In this settings, Aspecr Ratio was changed to portrait (896×1152). Let’s generate again to see if this works.
You now see four images instead of two, and the aspect ratio is precisely as anticipated. Congratulations on completing our first tutorial on how to use Fooocus! Next, explore your creativity by generating images that align with your inner vision. Have fun!
