Quality (--quality or --q <.25, .5, 1 or 2>)

This parameter determines the time the system spends crafting your image. It alters the level of detail in the image.

• default: 1
• range: .25, .5, 1, 2

The higher the quality value, the more details and texture.

 

The lower the quality value,  the simplier the image and the faster it is produced. Lower quality will be used for:

• Abstract Art: These types of images often rely on the broad strokes and vague shapes, where too many details might muddle the overall impact.
• Cartoon Illustrations: For these fun and playful images, keeping things simple and not too intricate might better serve the overall aesthetic.
• Minimalistic Designs: When it’s all about clean lines and an uncluttered look, lower –quality can help keep things neat and uncomplicated.
• Sketch-like Images: If you’re aiming for a rough, hand-drawn feel, a lower quality setting could help mimic the look of a quick sketch.

 

The higher the quality value, the more detailed and textured the image will be. Higher quality will be used for:

• reflections (water, mirror)
• realstic night scenery
• complex backgrounds

Tip

• test how much quality your image needs.
• Generate two images: one with basic quality 1, the other with maximal quality 2
  • generate the desired image
  • copy the seed of the image (More/copy/seed)
  • use the same prompt with use icon, add the seed number --seed [number], mention the new --q 2
  • compare the two images
