I tried SD once and it was pretty good. It was a bit difficult, of course. Now I want to try image generation again. Do you still think I should use SD or a different tool?

For people who want something older that’s well documented: SDXL
For people who want the new fancy thing: Flux (vram hungry with 16fp dev, but you can go 8p or you can use the schnell variant, which just means “fast”)
For people who want the faster image generation: SDXL lightning.
For tools, people are split on using either python/huggingface, the automatic1111 webui or comfy UI, which is my personal favourite.
The hottest model now is flux, and the community is gravitating toward it after the failure of stable diffusion 3.
Tooling around it is still nascent and it is very demanding (12GB+ VRAM GPU highly recommended) so you could also start with Stable Diffusion XL, fairly mature at this point.
If it was a bit time ago, a new version of stable diffusion has come out. It always gets better. Of course it depends what kind of images you want to generate.
Thx. Looks like there’s also ComfyUI. How about that?
If you’re using Mac, DiffusionBee is super easy to install and use, also supports FLUX
It’s a front end for stable diffusion. It works well, so does automatic1111
ComfyUI is one of many frontends that you can use with Stable Diffusion.
you should ask that question on !imageai@sh.itjust.works
Flux is great is you have the RAM to run it locally:
Flux is a Stable Diffusion killer and it might succeed it being that.
Better hands, better text, better composition. Not perfect either.
