Is Stable Diffusion really useful on a personal computer? I've been using it for a few weeks, and I haven't gotten 1 good image, video or any other content from it.

It doesn't listen to the text prompt a lot of the time and it does all the nonsense stuff it was doing 2 years ago.

You need the latest software and models. ComfyUI, and flux and a flux based Lora will perform much better to get what you want.

Unless you run it locally and have a high class GPU that can grind away for a decent time, you’re going to have to use a lot of “inpainting” to clean up artifacts, particularly on “larger” (bigger than 500x500) images.

won't they all do the same job if ran for long enough? OP said he has a 4070 though somewhere in the comments

Well, you do need a minimum amount of vRAM, otherwise the algos just don't work at all. And sure, you can crunch longer, but then you’re running up against electricity bills.

It's possible to get pretty decent images from it. It seems so model and prompt dependent, and still takes a lot of luck with what it randomly decides to generate. Sometimes it does an ok job following a prompt, but honestly most of the time it just says "fuck you, I'll do what I want."

I have the most fun with it by just using a lot of random wildcards and just letting it shit out something.

I can't really bother with the video side of it, because I only have a 12GB Nvidia 4070.

I have a 4070 and it's generating videos in a timely fashion; they look like the ones from years prior though.

How much have you messed around with the settings? I am messing with the image prompt's 'stop at' and 'weight' variables, styles, negative prompt and image description functions with some degree of control.

what are the specs needed for video processing? as far as I know, it'll do it, it just takes a lot longer.

I think this is the program that's on my tablet and I couldn't find a tutorial for simple cutting (like Paint has) nor could chatGPT explain at the time how to do it (it just gave random instructions)

Explain what you think you have done by posting this link to me.

update: and all the links are about the same thing. please explain what you think you're doing by giving me these links.

install their version.

install a stable diffusion extension? I don't see an easy way to do that. I thought that was done through the Manage Resources window, but it looks like I have to manually put (presumably python) scripts into the programs resource directories, and this would be the first time I've dealt with that.


The AI panel is bottom right

Are you implying I should use a particular extension? There is nothing built into the program near as I can tell.

Server configuration settings.

What does this mean?

setup is dead easy.

I'm looking into instructions and there are already 4-5 pages of instructions (assuming this even works). That is outside the realm of "dead" easy; I cannot even think of a person who I could reach out to who would have an inkling of how to go about what we're trying to do here.

Anyway, what did you specifically do because we're 30 minutes into this, and this is looking like a 1 hour to all-day project?
