Samplers are the algorithms that iteratively denoise random noise into a coherent image using the Stable Diffusion model. They control the step-by-step generation process.
Popular samplers include:
- Euler a: Sharp and detailed outputs, a commonly used default.
- DDIM: Faster sampling, sometimes smoother or less detailed images.
- DPM++: High-quality and precise results.
- LMS: Smoother outputs with less noise.
Why are samplers important?
- Different samplers affect the speed, quality, sharpness, and style of the generated image.
- Some samplers may work better for specific prompts or artistic goals.
- Experimenting with samplers can help get better or different results without changing the prompt or model.
