My issue previously with these prebuilt backends is that you can't tweak it like sdwebui does, but to make our thing work it took a thousand tweaks. Can look into this first to see how customizable it is.

Hi Alex, great catch -> We didn't solve consistency, but we saw that if you regenerate a few times, you usually get something that's visually similar. Right now AI artists all do loads of postprocessing - using AI, so later we might have a "smear" feature that inpaints the inconsistent part. Let me know if you have thoughts on this

Woaaa love these inputs. Thank you! Wasn't aware of the JAX backend will check it out. Right now we're on SD 1.5. We tried SDXL but found the quality improvement to be marginal. Yes to area prompting/regional control to help people create more complex scenes. I need some design thinking first since it's easy to over build and spit out something super complicated.

Hi HN,I built shortbread to help anyone to create comics / manga series!Tech stack: GPT 3.5 Turbo - the comic script generation. It handled everything from layout, character, scene, SD prompts, to dialogue.SD 1.5 - We put up SD servers on GCP. For every comic we generate one large image and crop it into panels.
