>>2 goes over the basics and setup
here's some stuff a lot of newbies miss, some of which isn't there:
> 'face restore' option is only for realistic human faces, and not for anything anime, furry, or otherwise stylized. it WILL ruin faces
> if your image is desaturated, has weird texturing, and/or purple splotches, you need to download and enable a VAE
> disable image previews- they slow your generations down, and aren't that helpful anyway unless you upscale EVERYTHING or have really long gen times
> best way to generate is to make a big batch of low res gens, and pick your favorite(s) to upscale, to save time.
>> use 0.5-0.55 denoise, resrgan anime upscaler, x2 upscale- these are good highresfix settings most of the time. latent is ok sometimes but tends come out 'fuzzy'
> normal models (such as those on most free gen services) can't do fat, you will need to download a model or lora that can do fat, like biggergirlsv5 or symix
> stufferdb has an ok free gen service with fat models preloaded
> if you frequently run into out-of-memory errors, look into enabling xformers if you're on nvidia, and puting --medvram in your launch args
>> look over all of the launch args to see if anything interests you, and google the ones that do that you don't understand https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/wiki/Command-Line-Arguments-and-Settings
> please god learn to inpaint
> you will learn more useful skills by experimenting with the settings and prompts than by brainlessly following a guide. you've got nothing to lose except your time
> r*ddit's stable diffusion sub is actually a really good resource for finding news, new models, loras, techniques, twitter-tier gossip, etc
> the stable diffusion threads on 4chan are also good for that, especially /vtai/ on the 4chan vtuber board
> taking requests is a good way to improve quickly. you'll learn lots as you try to do stuff you otherwise haven't and wouldn't have tried before
It's also good to know that people love geeking out about their hobbies and most will gladly sperg out for anyone that'll listen, like I just did.
Ask
nicely and people will tell you anything. Discord, 4chan, bbwchan, reddit, whatever, wherever,
Hope that helps

> How do I make it so the face stays recognizable as the same person between generations?
Not really possible for generic characters/OCs, since there isn't a way to prompt for facial structure. All you can do is prompt ethnicity/race, obvious facial features like eye color, scars, makeup, and maybe celebrities, if your model understands them
It gets much easier if you use a lora for an existing character/person, though
> The inpaint tool also tends to lead to an unwanted cut and paste sort of look too
Use a low-mid denoise (0.45-0.55), 'inpaint area: masked only', and a resolution of 512x512 - 1024x1024, and a padding of 256
