How to Use this extension?

For using this extension, we don’t need to use extra settings. Here, we have to use the “Image to Image” option.

1. Generate your image by inputting your positive and negative prompts. Here, we have generated an image of 512 pixels and we will upscale the image to 4x.

2. Now, click on the button to send the image to the image2image tab available on the right-sided canvas of Automatic1111.

3. Here, in the prompt box remove the old prompt with upscaling prompts. Like highly detailed, uhd, 2k, raw photography, etc.

2. Set up your settings as usual for image generation. We have set it up as follows:

Sampling method: “Euler“

CFG scale:1

Seed: -1

Denoising strength: 0.2

Here, do not try to change the image dimensions.

3. Into Tiled Diffusion extension tab:

Enable the Tiled diffusion option. Then select the method “MultiDiffusion” and Upscaler as per your requirement we have set it up to 4x. And enable the “Noise Inversion“. 

Again turn on the “Tiled VAE” option. Set up your encoder file size. And at last hit “Generate“.

Now, you can see we have upscaled the image to 4x from 512 pixels to 2048 pixels. You can see the added detailing is very impressive and incredible.
