controls described in the paper

eta affects saturation/contrast

rescale threshold ... highly variable depending on model, experiment

momentum between -0.75 and -0.25 recommended

The paper mostly compares APG with too-high CFG, which I'm not sure is all that useful - we already know high CFG burns badly, so a better comparison would be between APG and reasonable CFG to see if we really do get better quality, better prompt adherence, etc. Anyway, it does something.

Intent from the paper is to improve the ability of the negative prompt to remove/control concepts: using a negative is necessary - no effect if the negative prompt is empty.

Basically, cfg_result = empty_conditioning + guidance * (positive_conditioning - negative_conditioning).

Standard is cfg_result = negative_conditioning + guidance * (positive_conditioning - negative_conditioning).

Also, some other experimental stuff. And SkipLayerGuidance for SD3.

Note

Requires kornia>=0.6.8. Forge default is v0.6.7. Edit requirements_versions.txt in the Forge webUI directory.

FDG Option will be hidden if using older version.

Input Frequency-Decoupled Guidance scaler is at least two numbers for high frequency and low frequency components:

• 7.0, 1.5 is equivalent to high frequency CFG 7.0 and low frequency CFG 1.5.
• more levels can be used: 7.0, 5.0, 1.5 for high, middle, low
• prefix * means the value is a multipler for CFG scale: *1.1, 1.7 means 1.1*CFG scale for high frequency, and low frequency set to 1.7
