ComfyUI Node: KSampler SDXL (Eff.)

KSampler SDXL (Eff.):

KSampler SDXL (Eff.) is a specialized node designed to efficiently sample latent images using the SDXL model. This node is optimized to handle the unique requirements of the SDXL architecture, ensuring high-quality image generation while maintaining computational efficiency. It supports advanced sampling techniques and integrates seamlessly with the SDXL model, allowing for refined control over the sampling process. The primary goal of KSampler SDXL (Eff.) is to provide a streamlined and effective way to generate images with the SDXL model, making it an essential tool for AI artists looking to leverage the power of SDXL in their creative workflows.

KSampler SDXL (Eff.) Input Parameters:

model

This parameter specifies the model to be used for sampling. It is a required input and should be set to the SDXL model you wish to use for generating images.

seed

The seed parameter is an integer value that initializes the random number generator used in the sampling process. It ensures reproducibility of results. The default value is 0, with a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 0xffffffffffffffff.

steps

This parameter defines the number of sampling steps to be performed. More steps generally lead to higher quality images but increase computation time. The default value is 20, with a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 10000.

cfg

The cfg (Classifier-Free Guidance) scale parameter controls the strength of the guidance during sampling. Higher values result in images that more closely follow the provided conditioning. The default value is 8.0, with a range from 0.0 to 100.0, adjustable in steps of 0.1.

sampler_name

This parameter specifies the name of the sampler to be used. It should be set to one of the available samplers in the KSampler module.

scheduler

The scheduler parameter determines the scheduling strategy for the sampling process. It should be set to one of the available schedulers in the KSampler module.

positive

This parameter provides the positive conditioning for the sampling process. It is a required input and should be set to the desired conditioning data.

negative

This parameter provides the negative conditioning for the sampling process. It is a required input and should be set to the desired conditioning data.

latent_image

The latent_image parameter is the initial latent image to be used as the starting point for sampling. It is a required input and should be set to the latent image data.

denoise

The denoise parameter controls the amount of noise to be added during the sampling process. It helps in refining the generated image. The default value is 1.0, with a range from 0.0 to 1.0, adjustable in steps of 0.01.

start_at_step

This parameter specifies the step at which to start the sampling process. It allows for partial sampling and can be used to refine existing images. The value should be set according to the desired starting step.

refine_at_step

The refine_at_step parameter determines the step at which to switch to the refiner model for further sampling. If set to -1, the refiner is disabled. This parameter is useful for multi-stage sampling processes.

preview_method

This parameter specifies the method to be used for previewing the generated images during the sampling process. It should be set to the desired preview method.

vae_decode

The vae_decode parameter controls whether the VAE (Variational Autoencoder) should be used to decode the latent image into the final output image. It is a boolean value and should be set to True or False.

prompt

This optional parameter allows you to provide a text prompt to guide the image generation process. It can be used to influence the content of the generated images.

extra_pnginfo

This optional parameter allows you to include additional PNG metadata in the generated images. It should be set to the desired metadata information.

my_unique_id

This optional parameter allows you to specify a unique identifier for the sampling process. It can be used to track and manage different sampling sessions.

optional_vae

This optional parameter allows you to specify an additional VAE model to be used during the sampling process. It should be set to the desired VAE model.

refiner_extras

This optional parameter allows you to provide additional settings for the refiner model. It should be set to the desired refiner settings.

script

This optional parameter allows you to specify a custom script to be executed during the sampling process. It should be set to the desired script.

KSampler SDXL (Eff.) Output Parameters:

LATENT

The output parameter is a latent image that has been sampled using the SDXL model. This latent image can be further processed or decoded into a final image using a VAE. The output is crucial for generating high-quality images based on the provided conditioning and sampling parameters.

KSampler SDXL (Eff.) Usage Tips:

• To achieve the best results, experiment with different seed values to explore a variety of generated images.
• Adjust the steps parameter to balance between image quality and computation time. More steps generally yield better results.
• Use the cfg parameter to control the strength of the guidance. Higher values make the generated images more closely follow the conditioning.
• Utilize the start_at_step and refine_at_step parameters to perform multi-stage sampling and refine existing images.
