⚄︎ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

2. Be kind and friendly.

  • Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

  • If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

  • Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

  • Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

[question] Image data (lemmy.world)

4 comments fedilink hide all child comments
 

if write to Gscale input=> "{10-20}"

and

imageOptions
  guidanceScale = [input.Gscale]
  saveDescription = Guidance Scale is [input.Gscale]
  
  // or
  saveDescription = Guidance Scale is [settings.imageOptions.guidanceScale]

it will assign a random Guidance Scale to the image every time, but in its saveDescription, it will write a different random number instead of the used before.

Is there any way to get the value of the guidanceScale of this image?

Sorry for the delay on this, it's a good question. I'm assuming you're talking about using this plugin: https://perchance.org/t2i-framework-plugin-v2

If so, I've just added a settings.beforeGenerate function to make this easy to do:

settings
  beforeGenerate() =>
    gs = input.Gscale.evaluateItem;
  imageOptions
    guidanceScale = [gs]
    saveDescription = Guidance Scale is [gs]

That beforeGenerate function runs right after the user clicks the generate button, but before any images are actually generated, so you can use it to do any preprocessing work, like in this example where we create a variable with a specific guidanceScale value that'll be used in multiple other places in your code during the later phases.

I've added example usage at the bottom of the settings in this generator: https://perchance.org/ai-text-to-image-generator#edit

Let me know if you notice any bugs or have any issues with it.

Thank you very much for the function, it can really be useful for many tasks!

But unfortunately, in this particular situation, it doesn't work quite as expected. Without beforeGenerate(), guidanceScale currently gives for each image a random value that you specified (for example, {10-20}).

However, beforeGenerate() takes a single value from this range and assigns it to all images

[–] perchance@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ah good point! Sorry for the delay here, I've just added the ability to write imageOptions as a function - so you should now be able to just replace your original imageOptions with something like this:

imageOptions() =>
  gs = input.Gscale.evaluateItem;
  return {
    guidanceScale: gs,
    saveDescription: `Guidance Scale is ${gs}`,
    // ... etc.
  };
