What is 'Guidance'?
The guidance scale parameter determines the level of alignment between the generated image and the provided prompt.
In other words, it governs the extent to which your prompts influence the generation process. Adjusting this scale affects not only alignment but also visual characteristics such as contrast and detail.

How to adjust the Guidance

Adjusting this scale affects not only alignment but also visual characteristics such as contrast and detail.
Lower values produce more diverse outcomes, allowing for a wider range of creative possibilities. However, setting the value excessively high may result in image artifacts such as posterization.
Typically, values between 5 and 12 are recommended, although the impact can vary depending on the specific model being used. The default value is set at 7.5, providing a balanced starting point.
Feel free to embark on a journey of experimentation! Discover and nurture your own unique artistic style by exploring various combinations of settings and prompts.

About Latent Consistency Models (LCM) and SDXL-Turbo
These models can generate high-quality images much faster, requiring only 1 to 8 steps with a Guidance Scale between 1-3. By running an LCM or SDXL-Turbo on your M1 or M2 Mac, you can generate images at a rate of one per second.
When you select the LCM scheduler, the values of the Steps and Guidance Controls are automatically adjusted for a more fine-grained setup. The default values are set to 3 steps and a Guidance Scale of 1.015.

Real-Time Generation: (macOS only)
When working with LCM or SDXL-Turbo and the LCM Scheduler, the option to generate images in "Real-Time" as you make changes to your settings becomes available. This allows you to see result changes as you type your prompt, adjust the Guidance Scale, switch styles, etc.
To enable Real-Time Generation, use the lightning button (⚡️) located next to the Steps and Guidance knobs.
