This is an inpainting model of the excellent Dreamshaper XL model by @Lykon similar to the Juggernaut XL inpainting model I just published. People seem to really like both the Dreamshaper XL and lightning models in general because of their speed, so I figured at least some people might like an inpainting model as well.

The whole purpose of inpainting models is to provide at least somewhat better results when inpainting or outpainting an image. When e.g. outpainting an image, with the normal checkpoint models you tend to get a very visible seam between the original part of the image and the newly extended part -- this model helps eliminate that seam! Also, using a specific version of an inpainting model instead of the generic SDXL-one tends to get more thematically consistent results.

Basically, the same general guidelines apply as for the original model, ie. DPM++ SDE Karras as the sampler and 3-8 steps, denoising strength 0.8 and CFG scale 2 for generally good results. I am still experimenting with lightning models and inpainting/outpainting as to how to get the best results within the least amount of time.
