Dreambooth-Stable-Diffusion VS Dreambooth-SD-optimized

Tons of stuff here, no? https://github.com/JoePenna/Dreambooth-Stable-Diffusion/

Joe Penna's Dreambooth (Tutorial|24GB) Most popular DB repo with great results.

1) The https://github.com/JoePenna/Dreambooth-Stable-Diffusion instructions say to use the 1.5 checkpoints - is that the latest? Can I use the 2+ models or?

I quickly turned to the second library, https://github.com/JoePenna/Dreambooth-Stable-Diffusion, because its readme was very encouraging, and its results were the best. Unfortunately, to use it on Colab, you need to sign up for Colab Pro to use advanced GPUs (at least 24GB of VRAM), and training a model requires at least 14 compute units. As a poor Chinese person, I could only buy Colab Pro from a proxy. The results from JoePenna/Dreambooth-Stable-Diffusion were fantastic, and the preparation was straightforward, requiring only <=20 512*512 photos without writing captions. I used it to create many beautiful photos.

I've found EveryDream to be brilliant and have switched from JoePenna's Dreambooth because I've found I get better results so long as I provide good captions for all the images, even if preparing the dataset takes 3x as long (took me 2 hours to crop and label the 54 images).

From what I know you can train with whatever size you want. But you need software that will support it. For example, ShivamShrirao/diffusers repo seems to allow a change of dimension. Also, you need HW that would support the training, because bigger images need more VRAM, for example,Joe Penna repo is using ~23GB with 512x512px so probably it's not a valid option. But the ShivamShrirao repo has optimizations that allow to run it with less VRAM.

Hey guys im quite new to dream booth i tried the one in stabel diffusion but wasnt really satisfied with the output. Im lloking for a external dreambooth that could be started with anaconda but doesnt need 24 gb Vram i only have 12 Gb. I tried gammagec / Dreambooth-SD-optimizedbut he says you need at least 24 GB

Using this GitHub https://github.com/gammagec/Dreambooth-SD-optimized from this guide https://pastebin.com/xcFpp9Mr

I had pretty good results with 20 images of myself, 200 reg images and 6000 step using https://github.com/gammagec/Dreambooth-SD-optimized.

I use Automatic1111 for SD and then Dreambooth Optimized https://github.com/gammagec/Dreambooth-SD-optimized to do custom models.

Gammagec Dreambooth-SD-optimized - https://github.com/gammagec/Dreambooth-SD-optimized

I use this dreambooth repo to train the SD model. https://github.com/gammagec/Dreambooth-SD-optimized Here's the video that shows how to install it in very good detail. https://youtu.be/TwhqmkzdH3s He uses it to train in a face but you can use it to train in a style as well. I suggest taking about 15 or 20 detailed frames of the video and training it in as a style for the class name. You'll have to experiment with how many training steps to take. I suggest doing 1,000 steps at a time and testing out the model. Also don't leave the default "sks", the researchers forgot that that's a common acronym if you know what I mean. Do something like my_style1 so the model doesn't get confused with something else.

I'm using this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/xpoexy/yet_another_dreambooth_post_how_to_train_an_image/ to train locally with this repo https://github.com/gammagec/Dreambooth-SD-optimized on windows. Needs a 24gb card though.
