- Upscaling (RealESRGAN)
- Loopback: Use the output image as the input image for the next img2img task.
- Negative Prompt: Specify aspects of the image to remove.
- Attention/Emphasis: () in the prompt increases the model's attention to enclosed words, and [] decreases it.
- Weighted Prompts: Use weights for specific words in your prompt to change their importance, e.g.
