!!! note Update instructions. If SD breaks go backward in commits until it starts working again Instructions: * If on Windows: 1. navigate to the webui directory through command prompt or git bash a. Git bash: right click > git bash here b. Command prompt: click the spot in the "url" between the folder and the down arrow and type "command prompt". c. If you don't know how to do this, open command prompt, type "cd [path to stable-diffusion-webui]" (you can get this by right clicking the folder in the "url" or holding shift + right clicking the stable-diffusion-webui folder) 2. git pull 3. pip install -r requirements_versions.txt * If on Linux: 1. go to the webui directory 2. source ./venv/bin/activate a. if this doesn't work, run python -m venv venv beforehand 3. git pull 4. pip install -r requirements.txt

If AUTOMATIC1111's Github goes down, you can try checking his alt repo: https://gitgud.io/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui

Note: If I don't update in a month, I probably decided to step away from documenting and keeping up with SD since it takes too much of my time. If that's the case, my final update will be cleaning up some stuff and doing one big final update. To keep up with news, you can use

Reddit (recommended since everything is filtered if you sort by top): https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/ 4chan (look at the top comments to see if anything big was added, good if you want to be on top of things): https://boards.4channel.org/g/catalog#s=sdg SDCompendium (not too sure how good this site is, from a quick skim it seems pretty good and maintained. Has weekly(?) and monthly(?) news as well as a ton of other stuff): https://www.sdcompendium.com/

Thank you all for your support for this repo and the general development of SD, I really appreciate everyone who's contributed and hope you'll take SD to new heights.

• Automatic1111 adds support for SD depth model
  • Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/zi6x66/automatic1111_added_support_for_new_depth_model/
  • Instructions on how to use by reddit user:
    1. Download https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-2-depth (model) and place it in models/Stable-diffusion
    2. Download https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Stability-AI/stablediffusion/main/configs/stable-diffusion/v2-midas-inference.yaml (config) and place it in the same folder as the checkpoint
    3. Rename the config to 512-depth-ema.yaml
    4. Start Stable-Diffusion-Webui,z select the 512-depth-ema checkpoint and use img2img as you normally would.
• depthmap2mask extension released that can create 3d depth map masks --> supposedly better img2img
  • Seems to be an alternative to conditioning image mask weight
• Dreambooth training based on Shivam's repo extension updated to support SD v2.0 (find it in the extensions tab)
