[Feature Request]: Stacking or mixing variation seeds to refine a result

[eadnams22]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues and checked the recent builds/commits

What would your feature do ?

Something I like in InvokeAI is the ability to keep stacking variation seeds upon each other. I’d use this to refine a seed that was working well with ever decreasing variation strengths.

Proposed workflow

1. Generate an image
2. Enable a variation seed and strength
3. Generate the variant
4. Lock the previous variant seed and strength, then add a new variation seed on top of that, at even lower strength
5. Repeat to refine the image using multiple variations at decreasing strengths.

I've been wondering about this, the resulting image would have a load of metadata, but at least these variant images would be more reproducible than inpainting or color-sketch images.

I'm also trying to figure out how to do this as this seems like extremely useful and time saving feature.

Agree, the most important feature! I have hundreds of images generated overnight. From the good ones I generate 10 variations. Then I edit endless variation seeds and hope there's finally one where the fingers are right.

Huge improvement, would Automatically generate a dozen 0.01 variations while I'm drinking a coffee.

speaking of this, i saw a post with something implemented like this:

Steps: 20, Sampler: DPM++ SDE Karras, CFG scale: 7, Seed: (original seed number), Size: 480x832, Model hash: ********, Variation seed: (another seed number), Variation seed strength: 0.21, Denoising strength: 0.69, Clip skip: 2, ENSD: 31337, Hires upscale: 1.15, Hires steps: 14, Hires upscaler: Latent

how can I do this in automatic1111 ? is there a plugin to install? is this what you are talking about? sorry for the newbie question but I want to learn.

The place where I copied this text from, implied the images shown were generated with A1111
