Okay, using the img2img tab in Stable Diffusion with a reference image and the "v1-5-

emaonly.safetensors" checkpoint is a common workflow. Here's a breakdown of the process and


some important considerations for getting good results:

General Workflow in the img2img Tab:

1. Upload Reference Image: You've already done this. This is the image that will guide the style,
composition, and/or content of your generated image.

2. Select Stable Diffusion Checkpoint: You've selected "v1-5-emaonly.safetensors". This is a


well-regarded and widely used version of Stable Diffusion v1.5.

3. Enter a Prompt: This is crucial. Your prompt describes the image you want to generate. Be as
specific as possible. Consider including:

o Subject: What is the main object or scene?

o Style: What artistic style do you want (e.g., photorealistic, anime, painting, digital
art)?

o Atmosphere/Mood: What feeling should the image evoke (e.g., serene, dramatic,
vibrant)?

o Details: Specific elements you want to include (e.g., colors, textures, lighting).

4. Adjust Parameters: These settings control how the AI interprets your reference image and
prompt. Key parameters include:

o Denoising Strength: This is the most important parameter in img2img. It determines


how much the generated image deviates from the reference image.

 Low values (e.g., 0.2-0.4): The generated image will closely resemble the
structure and composition of the reference image, with subtle changes in
style and details influenced by the prompt.

 Medium values (e.g., 0.4-0.7): A good balance between adhering to the


reference and introducing significant changes based on the prompt.

 High values (e.g., 0.7-0.9): The generated image will be significantly different
from the reference image, mainly using it as a loose guide for composition or
subject matter. Be cautious with very high values as they can lead to
incoherent results.

o Sampling Method (Sampler): Different algorithms for the denoising process.


Common ones include Euler a, DPM2 a Karras, and DDIM. Experiment to see which
works best for your desired style.

o Sampling Steps: The number of iterations the sampler performs. Higher steps
generally lead to more refined images but take longer to generate. 20-50 steps are
often a good starting point.

o Width and Height: The dimensions of the generated image.

o CFG Scale (Classifier-Free Guidance Scale): Controls how closely the generated image
adheres to your prompt. Higher values (e.g., 7-12) generally lead to more prompt-
accurate results but can sometimes introduce artifacts or over-saturation. Lower
values might give more artistic freedom but could deviate more from the prompt.

o Seed: A random number that determines the initial noise. Using the same seed with
the same parameters will produce the same result. Use -1 for a random seed.

o Batch Count and Batch Size: If you want to generate multiple images at once.

5. Generate: Click the "Generate" button to start the image generation process.

Tips for Better img2img Results with v1-5-emaonly:

 Start with a clear and concise prompt. Even with a reference image, the prompt is essential
for guiding the AI.

 Experiment with the Denoising Strength. This is the key parameter for controlling how much
the output resembles the input. Start with a moderate value (around 0.5) and adjust based
on your desired level of change.

 Consider the resolution of your reference image. While Stable Diffusion can work with
various resolutions, very low-resolution images might lead to blurry or less detailed outputs.

 Pay attention to aspect ratios. If your reference image has a different aspect ratio than your
desired output, you might get stretching or cropping. You can use inpainting or pre-
processing to address this.

 Use negative prompts. Specify things you don't want in your generated image (e.g., "blurry,
deformed, bad anatomy, unrealistic").

 Experiment with different samplers and CFG scales. These can significantly impact the style
and quality of the generated image.

 Use image editing tools (like inpainting) for further refinement. If certain parts of the
generated image aren't quite right, you can use inpainting to regenerate specific areas while
keeping the rest.

 Check your VRAM usage. Generating high-resolution images with many steps can consume a
lot of VRAM. If you encounter issues, try reducing the resolution, steps, or batch size.

Example Scenario:

Let's say your reference image is a photo of a cat sitting on a windowsill. You want to transform it into
a watercolor painting.

 Prompt: "A cute cat sitting on a windowsill, watercolor painting, soft brushstrokes, vibrant
colors"

 Negative Prompt: "photorealistic, sharp details, smooth lines"

 Denoising Strength: Start around 0.5 and adjust as needed.

 Sampler: Try Euler a or DPM2 a Karras.

 Steps: 30-40.

 CFG Scale: 7-9.


By adjusting these parameters and experimenting, you can achieve a wide range of results using your
reference image and the "v1-5-emaonly.safetensors" checkpoint. Good luck with your image
generation!
