KonpaEvo Mix (NoobAI EPS)

KonPaEvo

KonpaEvo Mix is supposed to create a clean and vibrant base style. Artist and style tags should still work perfectly fine.
Use with CFG +-2.5 | range of 1.5-3.5 seems good, go higher for more vibrancy (and also brightness) (Comparison image CFG 1-6)
4S Lightning Lora @ 8 steps | 8S PCM Lora @ 16 steps
PAG scale @ 1.6 @ CFG ~2 (Perturbed Attention Guidance | thanks @fhaifhai)

Positive prompt masterpiece, best quality, very awa + optional artist/style tag(s) | very awa makes images more artistic
Negative prompt I personally use:
lowres, worst quality, low quality, simple background, bad anatomy, bad hands, signature, text, watermark
Settings:

• Sampler: Euler a beta | Deis beta | DPM++ 2M (SDE)

• Steps: ~24 | 4S Lightning Lora @ 8 steps | 8S PCM Lora @ 16 steps

• CFG: 1.5-3.5 | 3.5+ for more vibrancy (& brightness) | ~2 for PAG @ 1.6

v1.0 Merge recipe (simple | see "About this version" for subsequent release's recipes):
Base (NoobAI XL 1.0 EPS): noobEvo v1 by @advokat for style/vibrancy
KonbiniMix v1 by @Shiiro0 merged in ~40% OUT blocks for style (mainly outer blocks)
PaSanctuary v2.5 by @FallenIncursio merged in ~38% IN Blocks for what I think should be backgrounds/composition (except IN6 because IN6 sucked for this merge; introduced extremely heavy headlighting)
v1.0 Merge recipe "extended": https://ibb.co/jvmFSpP
Clip: 60% noobEvo, 40% PaSanctuary v2.5

Please include the merge recipe for any subsequent merges.
New versions on this model page will include the merge recipe in "About this version"

Note about CFG 1 and samplers:
SDE samplers like DPM++ 2M SDE help quite well with the paleness. DPM++ SDE however is twice as slow as euler so I recommend against using that one. Remember to use Karras scheduler because normal doesn't seem to work
If you want to use Euler A with CFG 1: Use Luna XL VAE or Hi-Res Fix with Hi-Res Fix CFG at 4-8 can bring back vibrancy to the image, itll be slower than Hi-Res fixing at cfg 1 but the initial gen will be faster, seems worth it to me if you don't want to use SDE samplers.

KonpaEvo name origin: Konbinimix Pasanactuary noobEvo (also somewhat intended: konpa, jap. コンパ, supposedly is a type of drinking party so it kinda fits like konbini, convenience store)
