I'll take prompt adherence over quality any day. The machinery otherwise isn't worth it i.e the controlnets, openpose, depthmaps just to force a particular look or to achieve depth. Th solution becomes bespoke for each generation.

Had a test of it and my option is it's an improvement when it comes to following prompts and I do find the images more visually appealing.

Can we use its output as input to SDXL? Presumably it would just fill in the details, and not create whole new images.

[RIMR → stavros]

I was thinking that exactly. You could use the same trick as the hires-fix for an adherence-fix.

Yeah chain it in comfy to a turbo model for detail

[Filligree → emadm]

A turbo model isn't the first thing I'd think of when it comes to finalizing a picture. Have you found one that produces high-quality output?

[dragonwriter → emadm]

For detail, it'd probably be better to use a full model with a small number of steps (something like KSampler Advanced node with 40 total steps, but starting at step 32-ish.) Might even try using the SDXL refiner model for that.

Turbo models are decent at low-iteration-decent-results, but not so much at adding fine details to an mostly-done image.
