Extensive settings, many Prompts and my
full upscale workflow
Observe: Most of the images have extra settings in the positive prompt, study these to get to the same result! Good luck!
My professionally used secret sauce merge is finally done and so it was time to share it with all of you. It is extremely versitile and creates awesome detail and sharpness, even when only doing hires.fix at x2. My model excels at composition, color and subject focus I'd say, but makes stunning landscapes as well. It has been carefully merged to create a nice mixed media feel without being "scrapbookey" and when prompted for it, creates any style you wish under the sun!
It is a great base to merge further but please credit me,
I love seeing anything you create <3
Use low CFG scale and push it with the Dynamic Thresholding extension. It will give you detail like never before. See the link at the top (the Reddit one).
if you see "--" in front of a token in the prompt it's a textual embedding downloaded here on CivitAI. I have only a few personal embeddings but these are not used anywhere here!

Steps 25-35
CFG loves being around 3-6 especially when pushing LORA weights above a combined weight of 1. But also works well with Dynamic Thresholding
Dynamic Thresholding recommended settings:
Linear up on Mimic and Half Cosine Down on CFG, set the minimums higher than you have set your CFG. Then set Mimic to something high, like 15, to really push it in the end.
Elaborate and poetic prompts are encouraged; paired with stylistic tokens at the end. โข Quality Resolution: The resolution 576x704 is the best starting resolution when looking for quality and speed in combination. This is assumed you have XFOMERS or Torch2 SDP-Mem installed as Cross attention optimization. If you are unsure, check the
Command Line Window or the Settings->Optimizations.
Model merges well when kept >50% of the other model (Below 40% is recommended)
This is my most comprehensive merge yet, and I've been using it as my main daily driver for about a month now. It was recently updated with some new skin texture checkpoints and expanded for compositional strength. Nangijala is versatile and extremely good at following prompts, and delievers an amazing quality when also used in conjuction with Hires.Fix and SD Upscale or Ultimate SD Upscaler as well as the Loopback Scaler.
