Acorn Is Spinning

AcornXL V2 This is my first update for AcornXL. It's been a while, but I don't upload unless I believe I have made considerable improvement. I believe that is now the case. If you enjoy my models and would like to support me: https://bmc.link/aerreth2eL Acorn has always been primarily a photo model. It still is, which I think my samples will show, but I have included a variety of styles in my initial examples to show the model is not only among the best, if not THE best, photo model available, but also a versatile model capable of many styles. There have been a lot of changes in Stable Diffusion since my first XL model. Updates to Automatic1111 which is what I primarily use, as well as others such as ComfyUI which I use some as well. I still get the best results in A1111. I find for photo quality images, it is best to use CFG in the 3.5 to 4.5 range. My favorite samplers are: DPM++ 3M SDE Karras DPM++ 2M Karras and DPM++ 2M SDE Heun Exponential VAE is Baked In. Although good result can be achieved at around 20 steps, I find that taking a little extra time and doing 60 steps tend to have good payoffs.
