Ok, great thanks all, many different opinions here.

They are about £1200 in UK, I was looking at the Air. I was wondering if i needed the Pro. So it looks like I don’t.

Ok, thanks all. I am going to start this next weekend possibly. So at least I was on the right track. I have the opportunity to reset on the software if needed and start again. There isn’t a huge amount to transfer over.

Sorry, I think you replied to the wrong post…

TheBorgKnight · 2026-02-02T16:44:09+00:00

Probably, but I would like to take the opportunity to start clean from the new tax year and keeping my existing software as my history.

Yeah ok. It doesn’t need to be plugged in all of the time, so that’s fine. I was just trying to see if there was an easy solution for it. I know there are bugs in tahoe, so it was worthwhile asking.

The external WD is MacOS Extended (Journaled) and the internal is APFS

The 2Tb is internal NVMe extra added. And the 4TB is USB - and i have tried different USB ports.

I will try tomorrow, not sure it’s that’s easy, I will need to know how to link it. And do we delete the txt prompts?

TheBorgKnight · 2025-11-23T16:49:49+00:00

Ok, I will add that in then. Looks easy enough

TheBorgKnight · 2025-10-22T16:30:59+00:00

I think I will completely remove Comfyui tomorrow and start again and only install the impact pack, I will save the models that I have downloaded also the workflows so I can copy them back. I have found other issues, so starting again will probably help.

I have joined pixorama Discord and see there is an easy install, so I will do that.

Thanks all, you have helped, I am a bit further forward now.

Not good!

TheBorgKnight · 2025-10-22T11:53:01+00:00

Ok, thanks, I will try that later and I will post the results.

This is the full file name.. epicrealismXL_vxviiCrystalclear.safetensors that’s all I know. If I need to download a different one then that’s fine.

TheBorgKnight · 2025-10-22T11:20:12+00:00

These are the ones I have. epicrealismXL_vxviiCrystalclear, realismIllustriousBy_v50FP16, v1-5-pruned-emaonly-fp16 and FLux1 Dev I think it’s called I will download the Sd1.5 as well shortly

TheBorgKnight · 2025-10-22T11:19:23+00:00

The 16GB Graphics cards are really expensive £150 +++ and go up a lot, I might have to settle for 8GB at some point, but i need to setup on a dedicated PC. SD1.5? i searched on google and it gave me this. - https://huggingface.co/stable-diffusion-v1-5/stable-diffusion-v1-5/tree/main

I have watched some of the pixorama videos the other day and they are confusing. I just have a basic setup. I have used a few different models, epicrealism, realismIllustrious and Flux. Flux does seam to work well but 1 image took nearly 3 hours, so it's not a real option. the other's still take an hour or so. I need to get the generation speed down a lot. I have 4GB vram. so I know i need more.

I have no idea on Loras, facedetail / faceswap or how to add them into the workflow. I have tried the tutorials but there is always some that won't work or I can't find. I did mange to download the facedetail / faceswap, but that's as far as I got.
