EveryDream2trainer VS stable-diffusion-webui-wd14-tagger

I'm using EveryDream2 with SD v1 based models. You can define whatever resolution you want for training, as long as your Vram allows it.

There is a demo optimizers settings here that uses special settings for the text encoder: https://github.com/victorchall/EveryDream2trainer/blob/main/optimizerSD21.json

If you have a large dataset of pictures, I'd recommend https://github.com/victorchall/EveryDream2trainer instead of Dreambooth. It has decent documentation (well for an open source project that is) and it has a very nice validation feature (disabled by default) which actually gives you good feedback on how the training is progressing.

EveryDream2 can handle this. They even have tools to help you autocaption using BLIP. https://github.com/victorchall/EveryDream2trainer

I recoment EveryDream2 for training, it has a lot of nice features. I'm not sure there is a proper manual to learn how to train, but there is a lot of information available. I have been learning this subjects for a few months myself.

Create an extension like 'send pictures' that uses the WD14 tagger which is way more detailed and has options for nsfw etc. Its used in Automatic1111 and Koyha ss so there's extensions you can probably implement from. https://github.com/toriato/stable-diffusion-webui-wd14-tagger

If anyone is interested I made some changes to toriato's wd14-tagger, now it works also on vladmandic webui, repo here. You can do a new installation, or use your old automatic1111 one changing 3 files, instructions on my repo. The lora files also work (there were some problems in the vlad issue page). I'm not a programmer and it's not perfect though, in fact for now if you don't like the default tagger model you have to change it manually (instructions in the repo), and since it is basically a fork of toriato's version, if there were errors there, there will be here too.

Automatic captioning tools that can be used as an initial point for captions: this tool or this one.

wd14-tagger, to describe anime images and get a prompt idea

Use WD 1.4 tagger (https://github.com/toriato/stable-diffusion-webui-wd14-tagger) to extract prompt words from each frame (threshold 0.65), then use the dataset tag editor (https://github.com/toshiaki1729/stable-diffusion-webui-dataset-tag-editor) for batch editing, mainly:

I recommend using EveryDream2. You'll need an 11GB VRAM GPU. There's no need to crop or resize images, just caption them, which can be done automatically with CLIP Interrogator or WD14 taggers. Make sure to add the trigger word for your subject. It's not a Dreambooth script; it's actual training, so it shouldn't be as destructive to the model as Dreambooth. Typically, using an LR of 1e-6 with a cosine scheduler over two epochs and a batch size of 4 works fine. This script supports validation, so you can actually watch in real-time whether the training is going well or if you're overfitting. I got very good results using it.

In my current process, I use CLIP Interrogator to produce a high level caption and wd14 tagger for more granular booru tags. Typically in that order, because you can append the results from the latter to the former. Both tools perform with greater accuracy than the standard interrogators in img2img and give you more flexibility and features as well. You still have to do some manual adjustments, but I generally prefer this process over starting from scratch.
