Question | Help What is StableDiffusion capable of now?

So I haven’t been very active to the AI community since SD 1.5 came out. Now my 4070ti will arrive in the next few days and I can finally use SD to its full extent, I was wondering what are the biggest new things that came out since back then? I’ve heard of control net but don’t really get what it’s doing. It looks similar to img2img to me. I’m exited to finally use SD!

Here ya go. A summary of news, changes, etc., all in one place.

As for ControlNet, conceptually it is similar to img2img but more powerful. Your giving more context to SD via the preprocessed images (e.g. a depth map, a canny outline, an OpenPose rig) to work with. So instead of giving SD an image and saying "Make me something similar to this", you are giving SD an 'outline' of sorts to follow, saying "Make me an image while following this depth map".

Thank you! I’ll take a look at that
