What are some techniques in invokeAI that can be used instead of ControlNet?
InvokeAI offers several techniques such as painting directly and using layers for selections, which can be more efficient than ControlNet when working with SDXL due to longer generation times. You can select an area and apply prompts (positive and negative) just for that selection.
Is it recommended to continue using A1111 alongside InvokeAI?
Yes, while InvokeAI is powerful, A1111 still has useful tools not available in InvokeAI yet. For example, some tasks like deleting backgrounds are faster with ForgeUI (a lighter version of A1111). Additionally, certain Lora models may work better in A1111 than in InvokeAI.
Can you implement named saves and a transparency slider for dialogue boxes?
Named saves are now available as an option. For the transparency slider, it might be added to the preferences menu. Both features have been noted for future improvements.
