We will explore the following features:
GUIDANCE (our most used advanced feature)
AUTOMATION (coming very soon)
Guidance controls the balance between adherence to the text prompt and image quality/diversity. Higher values make the output more closely match the prompt but may reduce overall image quality. Lower values allow for more creative freedom but might produce results less relevant to the prompt.
HIGHER VALUES =GREATER ADHERANCE BUT LOWER CREATIVITY / REALISM LOWER VALUES = REDUCED ADHERANCE BUT GREATER CREATIVITY / REALISM Each Model has its own break points. So some models will entertain higher guidance values while others will break the image. IF YOU SET TOO LOW OR TOO HIGH A GUIDANCE NUMBER JUST SELECT "RESTORE DEFAULT". Personally, when using premium models (Arcana Pro, Arcana Pro Realism and Arcana RAW CAMERA PRO) I DO NOT GO LOWER THAN 2.5 and never above 3.5 (the default). Usually, I nudge it lower if I am not happy with the photorealism or I just want to explore variety. HERE IS A DEMO USING ARCANA PRO REALISM:
Guidance overview
PROMPT: " Photograph of women working, Daguerreotype, calotype, tintype, collodion, ambrotype, carte-de-visite, gelatin silver, dry plate, wet plate, stereoscope, albumen print, cyanotype, glass, lantern slide, camera"

Samplers represent unique algorithms used by the ai to generate your image. We advise you stick to the default samplers per model. However, experimentation can lead to very interesting results. THE XL models are best for experimenting with samplers, specifically CREATIVE XL, IMAGINE XL, and NIJI XL.
Clip Skip sets the level of interpretation per word in your prompt. For example, the word "angel" can refer to a beautiful person, a supermodel, or a mystical being with wings. Adjusting clip skip will bring new levels of interpretation to your prompt and can yield some nifty results!
We advise you stick to the default clip skip per model. However, experimentation can lead to very interesting results just remember to reset to default when you're done experimenting. THE XL models are best for experimenting with clip skip, specifically MJ XL, IMAGINE XL, CREATIVE XL, PHOTO XL and NIJI XL. Using ANALOG FILM STYLE and the NIJI XL Model:
