+# Cheat Sheat for Generating Variations
+
+Release 1.13 of SD-Dream adds support for image variations. There are two things that you can do:
+
+1. Generate a series of systematic variations of an image, given a
+prompt. The amount of variation from one image to the next can be
+controlled.
+
+2. Given two or more variations that you like, you can combine them in
+a weighted fashion
+
+This cheat sheet provides a quick guide for how this works in
+practice, using variations to create the desired image of Xena,
+Warrior Princess.
+
+## Step 1 -- find a base image that you like
+
+The prompt we will use throughout is "lucy lawless as xena, warrior
+princess, character portrait, high resolution." This will be indicated
+as "prompt" in the examples below.
+
+First we let SD create a series of images in the usual way, in this case
+requesting six iterations:
+
+~~~
+dream> lucy lawless as xena, warrior princess, character portrait, high resolution -n6

+The one with seed 3357757885 looks nice:
+
+<img src="static/variation_walkthru/000001.3357757885.png"/>
+
+Let's try to generate some variations. Using the same seed, we pass
+the argument -v0.1 (or --variant_amount), which generates a series of
+variations each differing by a variation amount of 0.2. This number
+ranges from 0 to 1.0, with higher numbers being larger amounts of
+variation.

+~~~
+
+Note that the output for each image has a -V option giving the
+"variant subseed" for that image, consisting of a seed followed by the
+variation amount used to generate it.
+
+This gives us a series of closely-related variations, including the
+two shown here.

+
+I like the expression on Xena's face in the first one (subseed
+3647897225), and the armor on her shoulder in the second one (subseed
+1614299449). Can we combine them to get the best of both worlds?
+
+We combine the two variations using -V (--with_variations). Again, we
+must provide the seed for the originally-chosen image in order for
+this to work.

+Here we are providing equal weights (0.1 and 0.1) for both the
+subseeds. The resulting image is close, but not exactly what I
+wanted:
+
+<img src="static/variation_walkthru/000003.1614299449.png">
+
+We could either try combining the images with different weights, or we
+can generate more variations around the almost-but-not-quite image. We
+do the latter, using both the -V (combining) and -v (variation
+strength) options. Note that we use -n6 to generate 6 variations:

+quality of your generated images.
