«Settings»
To get started, we first need the Settings window.
For your convenience, I will use the «Light» theme of the program:
The Settings window provides the following options:
– «Theme». Allows you to change the current theme to the one you like. I’m using the «Light» theme.
– «Auto-Save Images». Let’s activate the option. It allows us to save all our images and descriptions for them in a folder we specify.
– «Save Location». Leave the default value or change it to the path where our files will be stored. For example, C:\EasyDiffusion\models\Stable Diffusion UI.
– «Metadata format». We change to «txt» – the text data format in which our requests will be stored. They can be read using any text editor.
– «Block NSFW images.» Let’s activate the option. Prohibits working with photos of certain categories.
– «Enable Sound». Let’s activate the option. We will always receive a sound notification that our image is ready.
– «Process newest jobs first.» Determines the order in which images are processed. By default, jobs are processed in order. We don’t change.
– «Extract LoRA tags from the prompt.» LoRA stands for Low-rank adaptation and is translated as «Low-rank adaptation». LoRA speeds up the process of training models. We do not change the parameter.
– «Open browser on startup.» The option is responsible for launching the Internet browser after the server part has started. We don’t change.
– «GPU Memory Usage». The option transfers all program work from the video card to the central processor. If you select «High», the program may run very slowly or stop working altogether. We need to select «Law».
If your video card is not NVIDIA GeForce RTX, then set it to «Low».
– «Use CPU (not GPU).» The option shifts all the work of the program not to the video card, but to the central processor. If you select a central processor, the program can run very, very slowly. We don’t change.
– «Auto-Save Settings». Click the «Configure» button. All options must be selected:
To do this, change the «Enter Prompt» value.
And close the window.
– «Confirm dangerous actions.» The option is responsible for the security of the application and must be active.
– «Profile Name». Leave the default value «default».
– «Beta channel». The option provides access to not yet very tested and unstable functions that may appear in the next version of the application. We don’t change.
– «Use the new v3 engine (diffusers).» A very important function for us, which in the left panel of Text-to-image AI software increases the list of parameters for customizing the created image. Let’s activate the option.
After you have made the changes, click the «Save» button to save all the changes made.
Below are a few more options that you do not need to change:
Three options control the network settings of your Easy Diffusion application. We don’t change them.
Please note that under the settings there is system information that allows us to see the data of the CPU and video card we are using.
My computer details are:
– Intel64 Family 6 Model 60 Stepping 3, GenuineIntel.
– NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 (cuda:0) (3.5Gb free / 4.3 Gb total).
My laptop details:
– Intel64 Family 6 Model 158 Stepping 10, GenuineIntel.
– GeForce GTX 1650 (cuda:0) (2.2Gb free / 4.3 Gb total).
And below is the address where we can access our server. In order to open the Easy Diffusion user interface in the Internet browser, write: localhost:9000/ or 127.0.0.1:9000/. After which the program’s working window will open.
«Help & Community»
Following the Settings window is the Help & Community window.
In this window, by clicking on one of the links, you can independently study additional information about working with the Easy Diffusion program, as well as learn about installing additional models and modules (plugins).
You can also join the system user community.
From the latest link «Source code on GitHub» you can download the Easy Diffusion source codes from GitHub.
«Models tools» / «Text-to-image AI model software»
Behind the «Help & Community» window is the «Models tools» window, which has two tabs:
– «LoRA Keywords».
– «Merge models».
In the LoRA Keywords window, you can create sets of keywords for yourself to speed up the image creation process. We will dwell on this option in more detail as we work.
Using the «Merge models» window, you can combine different models with each other. For example, those that we downloaded after installation from the Internet.
If you like a couple of models that you work with most often, you can combine them into one model and give it your name. But there is one small limitation: the models must be of the same type.
From my experience I will say that there is no particular need to combine models. But, if you use two dozen different models, you may need this functionality of the Easy Diffusion application to combine according to the desired topics or styles.
«What’s new»
Following the «Models tools» window is the «What’s now» window. This window provides a list of all updates and changes that have been made to the current and previous versions of the Easy Diffusion application.
It will also be useful for us to know that our Easy Diffusion 3.0 program is 40% faster than Easy Diffusion v2.5, which has a serious impact on the speed of creating our images.
Step 5. Let’s get started
As we have already seen, the Easy Diffusion Artificial Intelligence system is a fairly simple program both to install and configure.
Once again, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the main purpose of Easy Diffusion is to create a new unique image from a text description or from a combination of text and image based on the most popular neural network models today (which we downloaded and installed earlier).
In order for us to create our first image, we launch the program and go to its work area (the «Generate» window):
