    How do I use this? As a result, the image turns into a jumble of lines of different colors. I use invoke ai.

    Similar issue here, the preview looks normal but the end result is like a technicolor photo negative. Using SwarmUI here.

    Sorry, I'm not familiar with either of those. I use A1111/Forge to make my photos. As far as the settings I use; DPM++2M Karras, 0.6 Denoising, 30 Steps, and I use Hi-Res.

    Hi, me too. I'm using A1111, the image renders fine, then at about 98% it flicks to like an negative version of the image, any suggestions?

    Please make sure you are using your own VAE (sdxl VAE for example) and not the in-built VAE. I will make a notation in the model's summary.

    In FORGE, it starts generating color noise after 60%. The first Illustrious model came across, which does not work. P.S. I had to download VAE SDXL, now it works. Specify in the description what you need to download additionally.

    I specified in the About this Version to make sure you use your own VAE.

    My favorite checkpoint so far. Could you consider training future checkpoints on Wuthering Waves, Stellar Blade, and Nikke Characters?

    Flan version is awesome. It makes magic with semi-real loras. Thanks.
