SDXL 1024x1024 pixel DreamBooth training vs 512x512 pixel results comparison

DreamBooth is full fine tuning with only difference of prior preservation loss - 17 GB VRAM sufficient

I just did my first 512x512 pixels Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL) DreamBooth training with my best hyper parameters. Finding these parameters took 66 empirical full training.

The training speed of 512x512 pixel was 85% faster. This came from lower resolution + disabling gradient checkpointing.

Below you will find comparison between 1024x1024 pixel training vs 512x512 pixel training.

All generations are made at 1024x1024 pixels.

ADetailer is on with "photo of ohwx man" prompt.

Obviously 1024x1024 results are much better.

When you look at the both quality, resemblance you will also notice that.

Moreover, 512x512 pixel training produces disproportional unnatural body.

Moreover, my workflow works with 20 steps. When I tested dreamlook ai yesterday, their model produces huge artefacts when 20 steps used. Theirs requires at least 40 steps. I still don't know what is causing this phenomena.

A full tutorial video hopefully coming very soon. Workflow is currently shared on Patreon : https://www.patreon.com/posts/very-best-for-of-89213064
