Stable Diffusion - Negative Prompts in Fooocus - Do they make a difference?
TLDRIn this Kleebz Tech video, the focus is on the effectiveness of negative prompts in Stable Diffusion, a tool for image generation. The host explores whether long negative prompts are necessary and shares a tip for continuous image generation. Through extensive testing with various prompts, including 'umbrella' and 'trees', it's shown that negative prompts can have an inconsistent impact on the final image. Some elements, like hair color, respond to negative prompts, making the hair lighter, while others, like umbrellas, seem unaffected despite the prompt. The video advises viewers to test negative prompts carefully and avoid unnecessary complexity. It also warns against using the 'generate forever' feature with a set seed, as it will result in repetitive outputs. The host emphasizes the importance of continuous testing and simplicity in prompts for the best results.
Takeaways
- π The video discusses the effectiveness of negative prompts in Stable Diffusion and their impact on image generation.

- π An example given was trying to avoid generating images with umbrellas, but despite negative prompts, umbrellas still appeared.
- π Increasing the weight of an item in the negative prompt, such as 'umbrella', did not yield the expected results in the presenter's tests.

- π‘ In testing with houses and trees, negative prompts did not prevent the appearance of trees, suggesting some elements are harder to influence.
- π For the 'woman reading a book' example, negative prompts for hair color did have a slight impact, making the hair color lighter.
- π¨ The presenter suggests that the style setting may not significantly impact the results related to negative prompts.
- βοΈ Emphasizing the importance of testing, the video suggests that while negative prompts can work for some attributes, they may not for others.
- π‘ It's recommended to avoid adding unnecessary items to the negative prompt to prevent overloading and unexpected outcomes.

Q & A
What is the main topic of discussion in the video?
-The main topic of discussion is the effectiveness of negative prompts in the Stable Diffusion image generation process.
Why does the author suggest that negative prompts might not always be effective?
-The author suggests negative prompts might not always be effective because their initial tests showed that certain unwanted elements, such as umbrellas, still appeared in the generated images despite being included in the negative prompt.
What is the tip provided for continuously generating images?
-The tip provided is to right-click and select 'generate forever' to create an endless stream of images.
How does the author test the impact of negative prompts?
-The author tests the impact of negative prompts by generating a large number of images (around a thousand) using the same seed and varying the negative prompts to see if there's any significant change in the output.
What is the author's conclusion about the use of negative prompts?
-The author concludes that negative prompts do have an impact in some cases, like hair color, but not in others, like umbrellas or trees. It's important to test the effectiveness of negative prompts for each specific case.
What is the advice given for using the 'generate forever' feature?
-The advice is not to use the 'generate forever' feature with an unchecked set seed because it will keep generating the same images in a loop.
Why does the author suggest that shorter prompts are better?
-The author suggests that shorter prompts are better because each element added to a prompt or negative prompt has some sort of impact, and it's best not to include unnecessary elements that might not have the desired effect.
What is the author's approach to using negative prompts in image generation?
-The author's approach is to use negative prompts sparingly and only when absolutely necessary. They recommend testing to see if the negative prompt actually has an impact before deciding to include it.
How does the author suggest modifying the positive prompt to achieve desired results?
-The author suggests modifying the positive prompt to 'push' for the desired outcome, such as using phrases like 'an empty house on a hill' or 'an empty field' to avoid unwanted elements like trees.
What is the significance of using the same seed for testing negative prompts?
-Using the same seed allows for a direct comparison of the generated images, making it easier to identify the impact of the negative prompt on the final output.
What does the author suggest when you encounter elements that don't work well with the negative prompt?
-The author suggests trying to change the positive prompt to achieve the desired effect instead of relying solely on the negative prompt.
Outlines
π€ Exploring the Impact of Negative Prompts
The video begins with the host discussing the effectiveness of negative prompts in image generation, particularly within the context of Stable Diffusion. They express initial skepticism about the impact of negative prompts, having observed inconsistent results when using them. The host shares their experiences with generating images of a woman walking in the rain without an umbrella, despite specifying this in the negative prompt. They also mention testing with different styles and not finding a significant impact on the negative prompt's effectiveness. The video provides a tip for continuously generating images by using the 'generate forever' feature, with a caution about using it with a fixed seed.
π Testing Negative Prompts with Umbrellas and Hair Color
The host continues by sharing their experiments with negative prompts, focusing on the presence of umbrellas and hair color in generated images. They note that despite using negative prompts to avoid umbrellas and trees, these elements still appeared in the generated images. The video highlights that while the negative prompt for umbrellas showed minimal impact, the one for hair color did yield some lighter hair shades in the generated images. The host emphasizes the importance of testing negative prompts and adjusting the positive prompts to achieve desired outcomes, rather than relying solely on negative prompts.
π The Role of Weight in Negative Prompts and Continuous Testing
In the final paragraph, the host discusses the role of weight in negative prompts and the importance of continuous testing. They share that while they initially thought negative prompts were ineffective, further testing proved that they can have an impact, albeit inconsistent. The video demonstrates that negative prompts can influence hair color but not tree presence or umbrella usage in the generated images. The host advises viewers to test the impact of negative prompts using the same seed for accurate comparison and to avoid unnecessary complexity in prompts. They also caution against using the 'generate forever' feature with a set seed, as it will result in repetitive outputs. The video concludes with an invitation for viewers to like, comment, and suggest video topics.
