Q & A

  • What is SDXL Turbo and how does it help with AI generations?

    -SDXL Turbo is a tool that allows for super-fast AI generations on even low-spec computers. It enables users to generate images quickly and also provides a live painting feature for real-time adjustments and customization.

  • How can I start using SDXL Turbo for live painting?

    -To start using SDXL Turbo for live painting, you need to download the model from Hugging Face, place it in the correct folder for your system (either in the models stable Fusion folder or the Comfy UI models checkpoints), and then follow the instructions to set up the live painting workflow.

  • What is the difference between the base model and the improved custom models?

    -The base model is the standard version of SDXL Turbo, while the improved custom models, such as Turbo Vision XL, offer better results with higher quality images. However, the base model is sufficient for most users, and the improved models are optional.

  • How can I adjust the quality and resolution of the generated images?

    -You can adjust the quality and resolution by changing the settings within the software. For example, you can increase the resolution from 512x512 to 1024x1024, but this may result in a loss of speed and coherence. Using a high-r fix can help maintain quality when upscaling.

  • What are the steps to troubleshoot if a node turns red in the workflow?

    -If a node turns red, you need to go into the manager, select 'Install missing custom nodes', choose the missing nodes, and press install. This will resolve the issue and allow the workflow to function properly.

  • How does the live painting feature work with SDXL Turbo?

    -The live painting feature allows users to make real-time changes to the generated image by painting on a separate canvas. When the 'Auto Q' option is enabled, the software continuously generates new images, incorporating the painted changes into the output.

  • What are the recommended settings for generating high-quality images with SDXL Turbo?

    -For high-quality images, it's recommended to use a CFG (Control Flow Guide) of around 1, a steps count between 1 and 4, and to keep the sampling steps at a minimum, such as 1, to avoid breaking the image.

  • How can I compare different samplers within SDXL Turbo?

    -You can compare different samplers by running a script that allows you to select multiple samplers and generate images with each one. This will provide a side-by-side comparison to see which sampler works best for your desired outcome.

  • What is the benefit of using styles with SDXL Turbo?

    -Styles can be added to the generation process to give the images a specific look or theme, such as cyberpunk, futuristic, or graffiti. These styles can be particularly useful for creating images with a particular aesthetic in mind.

  • Can I use custom models with the live painting feature?

    -Yes, you can use custom models with the live painting feature. However, you may need to adjust the steps and CFG settings to achieve the best results with the custom models.

  • How can I stop the autogenerating process in the live painting feature?

    -To stop the autogenerating process, you can press the 'AL to Q' button. This will pause the continuous generation, which can be helpful to prevent overloading your computer with too many images.
