As requested, here is the collection of "boop"-related merges I've been using over the past few months.

The Boops

Merge of BoopV4.fp16 (0.25) + absolutereality_v181 (0.5) + epicrealism_naturalSinRC1VAE (0.25)A new merge based off of PhotoBoop.fp16 (obviously)I'm currently hitting it with a lot of test images and, for the most part, things look good.For guidance, I generally use between 4 and 6, and sampling steps from 20 to 29.I almost always use Beyondv4-neg and bad-hands-5 in the negative prompts.It will produce SFW &amp; NSFW images.<ul><li>DDIM is consistent across schedule types</li><li>DPM adaptive is consistent across schedule types but isn't the best at sticking to the prompt.</li><li>DPM fast is not recommended unless you like really trippy and fairly bad generations...</li><li>DPM++ 2M works well with Karras, Exponential, and Polyexponential; Uniform and SGM Uniform give you roughly the same image just with more burn and splotchiness.</li><li>DPM++ 2M SDE works well with Karras but is a bit iffy with the others, Exp and Poly sometimes give decent results with U &amp; SGM U being quality-free for your convenience.</li><li>DPM++ 2M SDE Heun is iffy across the board with Karraws and Exp probably giving the most usable output</li><li>DPM++ 2M Sa has better quality with Karras with Exp being a close second. Poly seems to go its own way with Loras at 0.85 in potentially good but unpredictable output. I don't know why... U and SGM U are iffy at best.</li><li>DPM++ 3M is your fast path to awful output.</li><li>DPM++ SDE has decent output across the schedule types but has a predilection for meandering off the prompt path.</li><li>DPM2 behaves pretty well using Karras or Poly, but the rest leave a lot to be desired.</li><li>DPM2a is a bit of a crapshoot across the board, which is to say that the results are unpredictable and not the best quality.</li><li>Euler is acceptable and fairly consistent across schedule types.</li><li>Euler A is unpredictable and will sometimes give you amazing results -- just not what you were expecting.</li><li>Heun gives acceptable and fairly consistent output across schedule types.</li><li>LCM is great for images you don't want to be either what you want or of a decent quality. It made some completely messed up and kind of dark -- in a horror kind of way. I'm not sure I recommend it.</li><li>LMS is unusable with U and SGM U schedule types while the others will give occasionally good output.</li><li>PLMS ... just... no. Weirdly, it output really nice output for the gecko prompt. Everything else was hot garbage.</li><li>Restart does well with all the schedule types except SGM Uniform. Those get weird.</li><li>UniPC is another it's best to just avoid.</li></ul>
