tinyKSampler Input Parameters:

pipe

This parameter specifies the pipeline to be used for the sampling process. It determines the sequence of operations and models that will be applied to generate the final image. The pipeline ensures that all necessary steps are executed in the correct order, contributing to the overall quality and coherence of the output.

lora_name

The name of the LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) model to be used. LoRA models are specialized models that can be fine-tuned for specific tasks or styles, allowing for more targeted and efficient sampling. This parameter enables the use of a particular LoRA model to influence the sampling process.

lora_strength

This parameter controls the strength of the LoRA model's influence on the sampling process. A higher value means the LoRA model will have a more significant impact on the generated image, while a lower value will reduce its effect. The strength can be adjusted to achieve the desired balance between the base model and the LoRA model.

add_noise

Determines whether noise should be added during the sampling process. Adding noise can help in generating more diverse and creative outputs. This parameter can be set to "enable" or "disable" based on the desired outcome.

steps

Specifies the number of steps to be taken during the sampling process. More steps generally lead to higher quality images, as the model has more opportunities to refine the output. However, increasing the number of steps also requires more computational resources and time.

cfg

The Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG) scale, which controls the trade-off between following the model's learned distribution and adhering to the provided prompts. A higher CFG value will make the model more likely to follow the prompts strictly, while a lower value allows for more creative freedom.

sampler_name

The name of the sampler to be used. Different samplers can produce varying results, and this parameter allows you to choose the one that best fits your needs. Examples include "Euler", "LMS", and "DPM".

scheduler

Specifies the scheduler to be used for the sampling process. Schedulers determine how the sampling steps are spaced and can affect the smoothness and quality of the generated image. Options include "BasicScheduler", "KarrasScheduler", and others.

image_output

Indicates whether the output should be an image. This parameter ensures that the final result of the sampling process is in the desired format, ready for further use or display.

save_prefix

A prefix to be added to the filenames of saved images. This helps in organizing and identifying the generated images, especially when multiple samples are created in a single session.

file_type

Specifies the file type for the saved images, such as "png" or "jpg". This parameter allows you to choose the format that best suits your needs for quality, compression, and compatibility.

embed_workflow

Determines whether the workflow should be embedded in the output. Embedding the workflow can be useful for reproducibility and sharing, as it includes all the steps and parameters used to generate the image.

noise

The amount of noise to be added during the sampling process. Noise can help in exploring different variations and achieving more diverse outputs. This parameter allows fine-tuning of the noise level to balance creativity and coherence.

noise_seed

An optional seed for the noise generation process. Using a specific seed ensures that the noise is reproducible, allowing for consistent results across different runs.

optional_model

An optional model to be used in the sampling process. This parameter provides flexibility to switch models without changing the entire pipeline, enabling quick experimentation with different model configurations.

optional_positive

Optional positive embeddings to guide the sampling process. Positive embeddings can help in steering the generated image towards desired features or styles.

optional_negative

Optional negative embeddings to guide the sampling process. Negative embeddings can help in avoiding unwanted features or styles in the generated image.

optional_latent

An optional latent space representation to be used in the sampling process. This parameter allows for more control over the initial conditions of the sampling, potentially leading to more targeted results.

optional_vae

An optional Variational Autoencoder (VAE) to be used in the sampling process. VAEs can help in improving the quality and coherence of the generated images by providing a better latent space representation.

optional_clip

An optional CLIP model to be used in the sampling process. CLIP models can help in aligning the generated images with the provided text prompts, ensuring that the output matches the desired description.

input_image_override

An optional input image to override the default starting point of the sampling process. This parameter allows for starting the sampling from a specific image, which can be useful for tasks like image-to-image translation or style transfer.

adv_xyPlot

An advanced parameter for controlling the XY plot generation during the sampling process. This parameter allows for more detailed customization of the plot, which can be useful for analyzing the sampling steps and results.

upscale_method

Specifies the method to be used for upscaling the generated image. Upscaling methods can enhance the resolution and quality of the output, making it suitable for different use cases. Options include "nearest", "bilinear", and "bicubic".

upscale_model_name

The name of the model to be used for upscaling. Different models can produce varying results, and this parameter allows you to choose the one that best fits your needs.

factor

The upscaling factor to be applied to the generated image. This parameter determines how much the image will be enlarged, with higher values resulting in larger images.

rescale

Determines whether the generated image should be rescaled. Rescaling can help in adjusting the image dimensions to fit specific requirements or constraints.

percent

Specifies the percentage by which the image should be rescaled. This parameter allows for precise control over the rescaling process, ensuring that the final image meets the desired dimensions.

width

The desired width of the generated image. This parameter allows for setting a specific width, which can be useful for ensuring that the image fits within certain constraints or requirements.

height

The desired height of the generated image. This parameter allows for setting a specific height, ensuring that the image meets the desired dimensions.

longer_side

Specifies the length of the longer side of the generated image. This parameter can be useful for maintaining the aspect ratio while adjusting the image size.

my_unique_id

A unique identifier for the sampling process. This parameter can help in tracking and organizing different sampling runs, ensuring that each output is easily identifiable.

start_at_step

Specifies the step at which the sampling process should start. This parameter allows for resuming or modifying the sampling process from a specific point, which can be useful for iterative refinement.

end_at_step

Specifies the step at which the sampling process should end. This parameter allows for controlling the duration of the sampling, ensuring that it stops at the desired point.

return_with_leftover_noise

Determines whether the output should include any leftover noise. This parameter can be useful for analyzing the noise distribution or for further processing.
