#Theme: A photograph displaying contrast that mirrors an aspect of reality that is splintered in a subtle way into an alternate reality.

#My Prompt in Dalle3: Create a photograph of a blossoming tree in a meadow surrounded by a forest that looks dark and gloomy. Make the photograph 16:9. The blossoming tree is secretly composed of pixels that are barely holding onto reality, splinter, broken, tortured, altered colors, surreal.

    Short Answer: It depends on the model, the sampler you choose and the scheduler.

    In my experience: the more steps you use , the more detail you get but with diminishing returns the higher you go with your step count. Also the more steps, the more generation time (and room heating) you have.

    We also have now the “Turbo” Models which generate good images at a relatively low step count. For the turbo Models, you are a bit restricted regarding scheduler and sampler., but you get a detailed description for the model on the civitai Page. For example the civitai Page (CIVIT AI) of the model used for this Picture.

    For the “normal” (SDXL in this case) Models: Tiral and error. I normally use a xy Plot to check things like CFG Scale or Steps out.

    Here an example XY Plot for the Model SDXLFaetastic_v24. Testing different CFG Values and Steps with a constant sampler and scheduler. I´ve used the same Prompt as for the base image for the contest picture (Screenshot of the Plot, the original Image has 120MB:

    Sample XY Plot

    In the original Plot you see differences at different step counts.

      🤯, I thought for sure my knowledge of these tools was getting to be complete. I have so much more to learn! I’m excited. Thank you!
