Settings Cheatsheet
Quick reference guide for BetterWaifu generation settings.
Sampler Methods
| Sampler | Speed | Quality | Best For |
|---|
| Euler a | Fast | Good | General use, experimentation |
| DPM++ 2M Karras | Medium | Excellent | High quality, detailed images |
| DPM++ SDE Karras | Slow | Excellent | Maximum detail |
| DDIM | Fast | Good | Quick iterations |
Steps
- 20-25: Fast, good for testing prompts
- 28-35: Standard, balanced quality/speed
- 40-50: High quality, more refined details
- 50+: Diminishing returns, use sparingly
CFG Scale (Classifier Free Guidance)
| Range | Effect | Use Case |
|---|
| 3-5 | Creative, loose interpretation | Artistic freedom |
| 6-8 | Balanced | General use |
| 9-12 | Strict adherence | Following complex prompts |
| 12+ | Very strict, may overfit | Precise requirements |

Advanced Settings
Seed
-1: Random (different image each time)Fixed number: Reproducible results- Use same seed + same settings = same image
Clip Skip
1: Default (most detailed)2: Softer, more artistic (recommended for anime)
Pro Tips
- Start with default settings and adjust one parameter at a time
- Lower CFG = more artistic freedom
- Higher steps ≠ always better (diminishing returns after 40)
- Match image size to your composition (portrait vs landscape)
- Save settings that work well for specific models
