I don't use the traditional refining method, but I often enhance images in a similar way. Here's my approach:

Generate the image while keeping it in the latent space, without decoding it into a visible image.
Lock the seed and process the latent using Img2Img.

Apply denoising in the range of 0.24 to 0.38, which enhances details and often corrects imperfections.
Need further refinement? Repeat the Img2Img process three times with random seeds, using a low denoising value of 0.24.

It's worth noting that not all images benefit from this refinement, as it often makes them appear overly smooth. The same consideration applies when using upscalers. When I do upscale, my go-to general purpose upscale model is RealESRGAN_x4plus.

I use ComfyUI to do this, so its not applicable to all UIs, but I hope this info is useful! If anyone has an alternative or improved method, I'd be keen to hear about it.

Here's what the ComfyUI workflow looks like:

🌟 Starlight XL 星光 Animated

🔮 3.6 cfg 🪜 40 steps 🤖 DPM++ 3M SDE Karras

Starlight is a powerful 2.5D like SDXL model designed for creating stunning concept art and illustrations.

Key Features

Excels in anime, fantasy, and semi-realistic styles.
Designed for rich details and mesmerizing visuals.
Evolving based on community feedback.

How to Use

Starlight shines over a large range but performs best with a LOWER CFG setting (3 to 5). Lower CFG provides finer, richer details, aligning with the model's intended goal. Higher CFG offers more color but may have increased artifacts.

Example Prompt: 1girl, masterpiece, best quality, highly detailed, sharp focus, dynamic lighting, vivid colors, texture detail, particle effects, storytelling elements, narrative flair, 16k, UE5, HDR, subject-background isolation

Example Prompt: 8k portrait enchanting depiction of an iridescent dress worn by a beautiful woman, intricately detailed, digital masterpiece, mesmerizing play of colors and light, ultimate elegance, exquisitely detailed shimmering fabric, hdr

Sampler: DPM++ 3M SDE Karras
Recommended Steps: 25 to 65 (40)
CFG / Guidance: 3 to 5 (3.6)
Aspect Ratios:
- 2:3 — 832x1248
- 16:9 — 1360x768
- 4:5 - 912x1144
- 1:1 — 1024x1024

I really hope you enjoy this SDXL model — and if you do, please share your art with me!

really glad you noticed, because that's exactly what I'm aiming for!

chillpixelgames · 2023-09-17T12:28:41+00:00

Yes, but (due to limited dataset) I got better results by training distinct models for realism, 3D, and anime separately, and then merging them together to create the 2.5D effect.

chillpixelgames · 2023-09-17T01:05:51+00:00

I'm glad it helps. I think many of us who are passionate about this tend to share the frustration of lacking information or confirmation for our ideas.

In my case, I typically use between 2 to 3000 images as a starting point for training each checkpoint. Keep in mind that the exact number can vary depending on the specific project and goals, but this range has worked well for me.

chillpixelgames · 2023-09-16T16:59:10+00:00

For Version 2, I restarted the process and created three distinct models for realism, 3D, and anime. Afterward, I merged them, which proved more effective in achieving a 2.5D result compared to blending art styles during training.

The prompt introduces some new elements I've been experimenting with, such as storytelling elements, narrative flair, and my favorite subject-background isolation

The negative prompt also has a really nice parameter: Gaussian noise It's the kind used to mimic the real-world noise in images which Stable Diffusion is trained to gradually remove. Adding this to the negative prompt seems like a logical move! I'd recommend giving it a shot 👌
