-##  The API
-
-The default download queue is `DownloadQueueService`, an
-implementation of ABC `DownloadQueueServiceBase`. It juggles multiple
-background download requests and provides facilities for interrogating
-and cancelling the requests. Access to a current or past download task
-is mediated via `DownloadJob` objects which report the current status
-of a job request
-
-### The Queue Object
-
-A default download queue is located in
-`ApiDependencies.invoker.services.download_queue`. However, you can
-create additional instances if you need to isolate your queue from the
-main one.
-
-```
-queue = DownloadQueueService(event_bus=events)
-```
-
-`DownloadQueueService()` takes three optional arguments:
-
-| **Argument** | **Type**          |  **Default**  | **Description** |
-|----------------|-----------------|---------------|-----------------|
-| `max_parallel_dl`  | int                         | 5    | Maximum number of simultaneous downloads allowed |
-| `event_bus` | EventServiceBase   | None | System-wide FastAPI event bus for reporting download events |
-| `requests_session` | requests.sessions.Session   | None | An alternative requests Session object to use for the download |
-
-`max_parallel_dl` specifies how many download jobs are allowed to run
-simultaneously. Each will run in a different thread of execution.
-
-`event_bus` is an EventServiceBase, typically the one created at
-InvokeAI startup. If present, download events are periodically emitted
-on this bus to allow clients to follow download progress.
-
-`requests_session` is a url library requests Session object. It is
-used for testing.
-
-### The Job object
-
-The queue operates on a series of download job objects. These objects
-specify the source and destination of the download, and keep track of
-the progress of the download.
-
-The only job type currently implemented is `DownloadJob`, a pydantic object with the
-following fields:
-
-| **Field**      | **Type**        |  **Default**  | **Description** |
-|----------------|-----------------|---------------|-----------------|
-| _Fields passed in at job creation time_                               |
-| `source`         | AnyHttpUrl      |               | Where to download from |
-| `dest`           | Path            |               | Where to download to              |
-| `access_token`   | str             |               | [optional] string containing authentication token for access |
-| `on_start`       | Callable        |               | [optional] callback when the download starts |
-| `on_progress`    | Callable        |               | [optional] callback called at intervals during download progress |
-| `on_complete`    | Callable        |               | [optional] callback called after successful download completion |
-| `on_error`       | Callable        |               | [optional] callback called after an error occurs  |
-| `id`             | int             | auto assigned | Job ID, an integer >= 0           |
-| `priority`       | int             | 10            | Job priority. Lower priorities run before higher priorities |
-|                                                                                                        |
-| _Fields updated over the course of the download task_
-| `status`         | DownloadJobStatus|              | Status code                                |
-| `download_path`  | Path |              | Path to the location of the downloaded file |
-| `job_started`    | float            |              | Timestamp for when the job started running |
-| `job_ended`      | float            |              | Timestamp for when the job completed or errored out |
-| `job_sequence`   | int              |              | A counter that is incremented each time a model is dequeued |
-| `bytes`          | int              | 0            | Bytes downloaded so far   |
-| `total_bytes`    | int              | 0            | Total size of the file at the remote site  |
-| `error_type`     | str              |              | String version of the exception that caused an error during download |
-| `error`          | str              |              | String version of the traceback associated with an error |
-| `cancelled`      | bool             | False        | Set to true if the job was cancelled by the caller|
-
-When you create a job, you can assign it a `priority`. If multiple
-jobs are queued, the job with the lowest priority runs first.
-
-Every job has a `source` and a `dest`. `source` is a pydantic.networks AnyHttpUrl object.
-The `dest` is a path on the local filesystem that specifies the
-destination for the downloaded object. Its semantics are
-described below.
-
-When the job is submitted, it is assigned a numeric `id`. The id can
-then be used to fetch the job object from the queue.
-
-The `status` field is updated by the queue to indicate where the job
-is in its lifecycle. Values are defined in the string enum
-`DownloadJobStatus`, a symbol available from
-`invokeai.app.services.download_manager`. Possible values are:
-
-| **Value**    |   **String Value**  | ** Description ** |
-|--------------|---------------------|-------------------|
-| `WAITING`      | waiting           | Job is on the queue but not yet running|
-| `RUNNING`      | running           | The download is started                |
-| `COMPLETED`    | completed         | Job has finished its work without an error |
-| `ERROR`        | error             | Job encountered an error and will not run again|
-
-`job_started` and `job_ended` indicate when the job
-was started (using a python timestamp) and when it completed.
-
-In case of an error, the job's status will be set to `DownloadJobStatus.ERROR`, the text of the
-Exception that caused the error will be placed in the `error_type`
-field and the traceback that led to the error will be in `error`.
-
-A cancelled job will have status `DownloadJobStatus.ERROR` and an
-`error_type` field of "DownloadJobCancelledException". In addition,
-the job's `cancelled` property will be set to True.
-
-### Callbacks
-
-Download jobs can be associated with a series of callbacks, each with
-the signature `Callable[["DownloadJob"], None]`. The callbacks are assigned
-using optional arguments `on_start`, `on_progress`, `on_complete` and
-`on_error`. When the corresponding event occurs, the callback wil be
-invoked and passed the job. The callback will be run in a `try:`
-context in the same thread as the download job. Any exceptions that
-occur during execution of the callback will be caught and converted
-into a log error message, thereby allowing the download to continue.
-
-#### `TqdmProgress`
-
-The `invokeai.app.services.download.download_default` module defines a
-class named `TqdmProgress` which can be used as an `on_progress`
-handler to display a completion bar in the console. Use as follows:
-
-```
-from invokeai.app.services.download import TqdmProgress
-
-download_queue.download(source='http://some.server.somewhere/some_file',
-                        dest='/tmp/downloads',
-                        on_progress=TqdmProgress().update
-                        )
-
-```
-
-### Events
-
-If the queue was initialized with the InvokeAI event bus (the case
-when using `ApiDependencies.invoker.services.download_queue`), then
-download events will also be issued on the bus. The events are:
-
-* `download_started` -- This is issued when a job is taken off the
-queue and a request is made to the remote server for the URL headers, but before any data
-has been downloaded. The event payload will contain the keys `source`
-and `download_path`. The latter contains the path that the URL will be
-downloaded to.
-
-* `download_progress -- This is issued periodically as the download
-runs. The payload contains the keys `source`, `download_path`,
-`current_bytes` and `total_bytes`. The latter two fields can be
-used to display the percent complete.
-
-* `download_complete` -- This is issued when the download completes
-successfully. The payload contains the keys `source`, `download_path`
-and `total_bytes`.
-
-* `download_error` -- This is issued when the download stops because
-of an error condition. The payload contains the fields `error_type`
-and `error`. The former is the text representation of the exception,
-and the latter is a traceback showing where the error occurred.
-
-### Job control
-
-To create a job call the queue's `download()` method. You can list all
-jobs using `list_jobs()`, fetch a single job by its with
-`id_to_job()`, cancel a running job with `cancel_job()`, cancel all
-running jobs with `cancel_all_jobs()`, and wait for all jobs to finish
-with `join()`.
-
-#### job = queue.download(source, dest, priority, access_token)
-
-Create a new download job and put it on the queue, returning the
-DownloadJob object.
-
-#### jobs = queue.list_jobs()
-
-Return a list of all active and inactive `DownloadJob`s.
-
-#### job = queue.id_to_job(id)
-
-Return the job corresponding to given ID.
-
-Return a list of all active and inactive `DownloadJob`s.
-
-#### queue.prune_jobs()
-
-Remove inactive (complete or errored) jobs from the listing returned
-by `list_jobs()`.
-
-#### queue.join()
-
-Block until all pending jobs have run to completion or errored out.

+InvokeAI Invocations can be found in the `invokeai/app/invocations` directory.
 
-New nodes should be added to a subfolder in `nodes` direction found at the root level of the InvokeAI installation location. Nodes added to this folder will be able to be used upon application startup. 
-
-Example `nodes`  subfolder structure:
-```py
-├── __init__.py # Invoke-managed custom node loader
-│
-├── cool_node
-│   ├── __init__.py # see example below
-│   └── cool_node.py

-    ├── bodacious_node.py
-    ├── utils.py
-    └── extra_nodes
-        └── fancy_node.py
-```
-
-Each node folder must have an `__init__.py` file that imports its nodes. Only nodes imported in the `__init__.py` file are loaded.
- See the README in the nodes folder for more examples: 
-
-```py
-from .cool_node import CoolInvocation

+You can add your new functionality to one of the existing Invocations in this
+directory or create a new file in this directory as per your needs.

-### Custom Components For Frontend
+**Extra Config**
+
+All input fields also take an additional `Config` class that you can use to do
+various advanced things like setting required parameters and etc.
+
+Let us do that for our _ColorField_ and enforce all the values because we did
+not define any defaults for our fields.
+
+```python
+class ColorField(BaseModel):
+    '''A field that holds the rgba values of a color'''
+    r: int = Field(ge=0, le=255, description="The red channel")
+    g: int = Field(ge=0, le=255, description="The green channel")

+
+    class Config:
+        schema_extra = {"required": ["r", "g", "b", "a"]}
+```
+
+Now it becomes mandatory for the user to supply all the values required by our
+input field.
+
+We will discuss the `Config` class in extra detail later in this guide and how
+you can use it to make your Invocations more robust.
+
+## Custom Output Types
+
+Like with custom inputs, sometimes you might find yourself needing custom
+outputs that InvokeAI does not provide. We can easily set one up.
+
+Now that you are familiar with Invocations and Inputs, let us use that knowledge
+to put together a custom output type for an Invocation that returns _width_,
+_height_ and _background_color_ that we need to create a blank image.
+
+- A custom output type is a class that derives from the parent class of
+  `BaseInvocationOutput`.
+- It is not mandatory but we recommend using names ending with `Output` for
+  output types. So we'll call our class `BlankImageOutput`
+- It is not mandatory but we highly recommend adding a `docstring` to describe
+  what your output type is for.
+- Like Invocations, each output type should have a `type` variable that is
+  **unique**
+
+Now that we know the basic rules for creating a new output type, let us go ahead
+and make it.
+
+```python
+from typing import Literal
+from pydantic import Field
+
+from .baseinvocation import BaseInvocationOutput
+
+class BlankImageOutput(BaseInvocationOutput):
+    '''Base output type for creating a blank image'''
+    type: Literal['blank_image_output'] = 'blank_image_output'
+
+    # Inputs
+    width: int = Field(description='Width of blank image')
+    height: int = Field(description='Height of blank image')
+    bg_color: ColorField = Field(description='Background color of blank image')
+
+    class Config:
+        schema_extra = {"required": ["type", "width", "height", "bg_color"]}
+```
+
+All set. We now have an output type that requires what we need to create a
+blank_image. And if you noticed it, we even used the `Config` class to ensure
+the fields are required.
+
+## Custom Configuration
+
+As you might have noticed when making inputs and outputs, we used a class called
+`Config` from _pydantic_ to further customize them. Because our inputs and
+outputs essentially inherit from _pydantic_'s `BaseModel` class, all
+[configuration options](https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/usage/schema/#schema-customization)
+that are valid for _pydantic_ classes are also valid for our inputs and outputs.
+You can do the same for your Invocations too but InvokeAI makes our life a
+little bit easier on that end.
+
+InvokeAI provides a custom configuration class called `InvocationConfig`
+particularly for configuring Invocations. This is exactly the same as the raw
+`Config` class from _pydantic_ with some extra stuff on top to help faciliate
+parsing of the scheme in the frontend UI.
+
+At the current moment, tihs `InvocationConfig` class is further improved with
+the following features related the `ui`.
+
+| Config Option | Field Type                                                                                                    | Example                                                                                                               |
+| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| type_hints    | `Dict[str, Literal["integer", "float", "boolean", "string", "enum", "image", "latents", "model", "control"]]` | `type_hint: "model"` provides type hints related to the model like displaying a list of available models              |
+| tags          | `List[str]`                                                                                                   | `tags: ['resize', 'image']` will classify your invocation under the tags of resize and image.                         |
+| title         | `str`                                                                                                         | `title: 'Resize Image` will rename your to this custom title rather than infer from the name of the Invocation class. |

+## Creating a new invocation
+
+To create a new invocation, either find the appropriate module file in
+`/ldm/invoke/app/invocations` to add your invocation to, or create a new one in
+that folder. All invocations in that folder will be discovered and made
+available to the CLI and API automatically. Invocations make use of
+[typing](https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html) and
+[pydantic](https://pydantic-docs.helpmanual.io/) for validation and integration
+into the CLI and API.
+
+An invocation looks like this:
+
+```py
+class UpscaleInvocation(BaseInvocation):
+    """Upscales an image."""
+
+    # fmt: off
+    type: Literal["upscale"] = "upscale"
+
+    # Inputs
+    image: Union[ImageField, None] = Field(description="The input image", default=None)
+    strength: float                = Field(default=0.75, gt=0, le=1, description="The strength")
+    level: Literal[2, 4]           = Field(default=2, description="The upscale level")

+            "ui": {
+                "tags": ["upscaling", "image"],
+            },
+        }
+
+    def invoke(self, context: InvocationContext) -> ImageOutput:
+        image = context.services.images.get_pil_image(
+            self.image.image_origin, self.image.image_name
+        )
+        results = context.services.restoration.upscale_and_reconstruct(
+            image_list=[[image, 0]],
+            upscale=(self.level, self.strength),
+            strength=0.0,  # GFPGAN strength
+            save_original=False,
+            image_callback=None,
+        )
+
+        # Results are image and seed, unwrap for now
+        # TODO: can this return multiple results?
+        image_dto = context.services.images.create(
+            image=results[0][0],
+            image_origin=ResourceOrigin.INTERNAL,
+            image_category=ImageCategory.GENERAL,
+            node_id=self.id,
+            session_id=context.graph_execution_state_id,
+            is_intermediate=self.is_intermediate,
+        )
+
+        return ImageOutput(
+            image=ImageField(
+                image_name=image_dto.image_name,
+                image_origin=image_dto.image_origin,
+            ),
+            width=image_dto.width,
+            height=image_dto.height,
+        )
+
+```
+
+Each portion is important to implement correctly.
+
+### Class definition and type
+
+```py
+class UpscaleInvocation(BaseInvocation):
+    """Upscales an image."""
+    type: Literal['upscale'] = 'upscale'
+```
+
+All invocations must derive from `BaseInvocation`. They should have a docstring
+that declares what they do in a single, short line. They should also have a
+`type` with a type hint that's `Literal["command_name"]`, where `command_name`
+is what the user will type on the CLI or use in the API to create this
+invocation. The `command_name` must be unique. The `type` must be assigned to
+the value of the literal in the type hint.
+
+### Inputs
+
+```py
+    # Inputs
+    image: Union[ImageField,None] = Field(description="The input image")
+    strength: float               = Field(default=0.75, gt=0, le=1, description="The strength")
+    level: Literal[2,4]           = Field(default=2, description="The upscale level")
+```
+
+Inputs consist of three parts: a name, a type hint, and a `Field` with default,
+description, and validation information. For example:
+
+| Part      | Value                                                         | Description                                                                                                               |
+| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Name      | `strength`                                                    | This field is referred to as `strength`                                                                                   |
+| Type Hint | `float`                                                       | This field must be of type `float`                                                                                        |
+| Field     | `Field(default=0.75, gt=0, le=1, description="The strength")` | The default value is `0.75`, the value must be in the range (0,1], and help text will show "The strength" for this field. |
+
+Notice that `image` has type `Union[ImageField,None]`. The `Union` allows this
+field to be parsed with `None` as a value, which enables linking to previous
+invocations. All fields should either provide a default value or allow `None` as
+a value, so that they can be overwritten with a linked output from another
+invocation.
+
+The special type `ImageField` is also used here. All images are passed as
+`ImageField`, which protects them from pydantic validation errors (since images
+only ever come from links).
+
+Finally, note that for all linking, the `type` of the linked fields must match.
+If the `name` also matches, then the field can be **automatically linked** to a
+previous invocation by name and matching.
+
+### Config
+
+```py
+    # Schema customisation
+    class Config(InvocationConfig):
+        schema_extra = {
+            "ui": {
+                "tags": ["upscaling", "image"],
+            },
+        }
+```
+
+This is an optional configuration for the invocation. It inherits from
+pydantic's model `Config` class, and it used primarily to customize the
+autogenerated OpenAPI schema.
+
+The UI relies on the OpenAPI schema in two ways:
+
+- An API client & Typescript types are generated from it. This happens at build
+  time.
+- The node editor parses the schema into a template used by the UI to create the
+  node editor UI. This parsing happens at runtime.
+
+In this example, a `ui` key has been added to the `schema_extra` dict to provide
+some tags for the UI, to facilitate filtering nodes.
+
+See the Schema Generation section below for more information.
+
+### Invoke Function
+
+```py
+    def invoke(self, context: InvocationContext) -> ImageOutput:
+        image = context.services.images.get_pil_image(
+            self.image.image_origin, self.image.image_name
+        )
+        results = context.services.restoration.upscale_and_reconstruct(
+            image_list=[[image, 0]],
+            upscale=(self.level, self.strength),
+            strength=0.0,  # GFPGAN strength
+            save_original=False,
+            image_callback=None,
+        )
+
+        # Results are image and seed, unwrap for now
+        # TODO: can this return multiple results?
+        image_dto = context.services.images.create(
+            image=results[0][0],
+            image_origin=ResourceOrigin.INTERNAL,
+            image_category=ImageCategory.GENERAL,
+            node_id=self.id,
+            session_id=context.graph_execution_state_id,
+            is_intermediate=self.is_intermediate,
+        )
+
+        return ImageOutput(
+            image=ImageField(
+                image_name=image_dto.image_name,
+                image_origin=image_dto.image_origin,
+            ),
+            width=image_dto.width,
+            height=image_dto.height,
+        )
+```
+
+The `invoke` function is the last portion of an invocation. It is provided an
+`InvocationContext` which contains services to perform work as well as a
+`session_id` for use as needed. It should return a class with output values that
+derives from `BaseInvocationOutput`.
+
+Before being called, the invocation will have all of its fields set from
+defaults, inputs, and finally links (overriding in that order).
+
+Assume that this invocation may be running simultaneously with other
+invocations, may be running on another machine, or in other interesting
+scenarios. If you need functionality, please provide it as a service in the
+`InvocationServices` class, and make sure it can be overridden.
+
+### Outputs
+
+```py
+class ImageOutput(BaseInvocationOutput):
+    """Base class for invocations that output an image"""
+
+    # fmt: off
+    type: Literal["image_output"] = "image_output"
+    image:      ImageField = Field(default=None, description="The output image")
+    width:             int = Field(description="The width of the image in pixels")
+    height:            int = Field(description="The height of the image in pixels")
+    # fmt: on
+
+    class Config:
+        schema_extra = {"required": ["type", "image", "width", "height"]}
+```
+
+Output classes look like an invocation class without the invoke method. Prefer
+to use an existing output class if available, and prefer to name inputs the same
+as outputs when possible, to promote automatic invocation linking.
+
+## Schema Generation
+
+Invocation, output and related classes are used to generate an OpenAPI schema.
+
+### Required Properties
+
+The schema generation treat all properties with default values as optional. This
+makes sense internally, but when when using these classes via the generated
+schema, we end up with e.g. the `ImageOutput` class having its `image` property
+marked as optional.
+
+We know that this property will always be present, so the additional logic
+needed to always check if the property exists adds a lot of extraneous cruft.
+
+To fix this, we can leverage `pydantic`'s
+[schema customisation](https://docs.pydantic.dev/usage/schema/#schema-customization)
+to mark properties that we know will always be present as required.
+
+Here's that `ImageOutput` class, without the needed schema customisation:
+
+```python
+class ImageOutput(BaseInvocationOutput):
+    """Base class for invocations that output an image"""
+
+    # fmt: off
+    type: Literal["image_output"] = "image_output"
+    image:      ImageField = Field(default=None, description="The output image")
+    width:             int = Field(description="The width of the image in pixels")
+    height:            int = Field(description="The height of the image in pixels")
+    # fmt: on
+```
+
+The OpenAPI schema that results from this `ImageOutput` will have the `type`,
+`image`, `width` and `height` properties marked as optional, even though we know
+they will always have a value.
+
+```python
+class ImageOutput(BaseInvocationOutput):
+    """Base class for invocations that output an image"""
+
+    # fmt: off
+    type: Literal["image_output"] = "image_output"
+    image:      ImageField = Field(default=None, description="The output image")
+    width:             int = Field(description="The width of the image in pixels")
+    height:            int = Field(description="The height of the image in pixels")
+    # fmt: on
+
+    # Add schema customization
+    class Config:
+        schema_extra = {"required": ["type", "image", "width", "height"]}
+```
+
+With the customization in place, the schema will now show these properties as
+required, obviating the need for extensive null checks in client code.
+
+See this `pydantic` issue for discussion on this solution:

-#### Enabling Type-Checking with Pylance
-
-We use python's typing system in InvokeAI. PR reviews will include checking that types are present and correct. We don't enforce types with `mypy` at this time, but that is on the horizon.
-
-Using a code analysis tool to automatically type check your code (and types) is very important when writing with types. These tools provide immediate feedback in your editor when types are incorrect, and following their suggestions lead to fewer runtime bugs.
-
-Pylance, installed at the beginning of this guide, is the de-facto python LSP (language server protocol). It provides type checking in the editor (among many other features). Once installed, you do need to enable type checking manually:
-
-- Open a python file
-- Look along the status bar in VSCode for `{ } Python`
-- Click the `{ }`
-- Turn type checking on - basic is fine
-
-You'll now see red squiggly lines where type issues are detected. Hover your cursor over the indicated symbols to see what's wrong.

-In 99% of cases when the type checker says there is a problem, there really is a problem, and you should take some time to understand and resolve what it is pointing out.

-# InvokeAI Backend Tests
-
-We use `pytest` to run the backend python tests. (See [pyproject.toml](/pyproject.toml) for the default `pytest` options.)
-
-## Fast vs. Slow
-All tests are categorized as either 'fast' (no test annotation) or 'slow' (annotated with the `@pytest.mark.slow` decorator).
-
-'Fast' tests are run to validate every PR, and are fast enough that they can be run routinely during development.
-
-'Slow' tests are currently only run manually on an ad-hoc basis. In the future, they may be automated to run nightly. Most developers are only expected to run the 'slow' tests that directly relate to the feature(s) that they are working on.
-
-As a rule of thumb, tests should be marked as 'slow' if there is a chance that they take >1s (e.g. on a CPU-only machine with slow internet connection). Common examples of slow tests are tests that depend on downloading a model, or running model inference.
-
-## Running Tests
-
-Below are some common test commands:
-```bash
-# Run the fast tests. (This implicitly uses the configured default option: `-m "not slow"`.)
-pytest tests/
-
-# Equivalent command to run the fast tests.
-pytest tests/ -m "not slow"
-
-# Run the slow tests.
-pytest tests/ -m "slow"
-
-# Run the slow tests from a specific file.
-pytest tests/path/to/slow_test.py -m "slow"
-
-# Run all tests (fast and slow).
-pytest tests -m ""
-```
-
-## Test Organization
-
-All backend tests are in the [`tests/`](/tests/) directory. This directory mirrors the organization of the `invokeai/` directory. For example, tests for `invokeai/model_management/model_manager.py` would be found in `tests/model_management/test_model_manager.py`.
-
-TODO: The above statement is aspirational. A re-organization of legacy tests is required to make it true.
-
-## Tests that depend on models
-
-There are a few things to keep in mind when adding tests that depend on models.
-
-1. If a required model is not already present, it should automatically be downloaded as part of the test setup.
-2. If a model is already downloaded, it should not be re-downloaded unnecessarily.
-3. Take reasonable care to keep the total number of models required for the tests low. Whenever possible, re-use models that are already required for other tests. If you are adding a new model, consider including a comment to explain why it is required/unique.
-
-There are several utilities to help with model setup for tests. Here is a sample test that depends on a model:
-```python
-import pytest
-import torch
-
-from invokeai.backend.model_management.models.base import BaseModelType, ModelType
-from invokeai.backend.util.test_utils import install_and_load_model
-

-        model_path_id_or_url="HF/dummy_model_id",
-        model_name="dummy_model",
-        base_model=BaseModelType.StableDiffusion1,
-        model_type=ModelType.Dummy,

-        model.to(torch_device, dtype=torch.float32)
-        output = model(dummy_input)
-
-    # Validate output...
-
-```
-
-## Test Coverage
-
-To review test coverage, append `--cov` to your pytest command:
-```bash
-pytest tests/ --cov
-```
-
-Test outcomes and coverage will be reported in the terminal. In addition, a more detailed report is created in both XML and HTML format in the `./coverage` folder. The HTML output is particularly helpful in identifying untested statements where coverage should be improved. The HTML report can be viewed by opening `./coverage/html/index.html`.

-### Dev Environment
-
-**Setup** 
-
-1. Install [node](https://nodejs.org/en/download/). You can confirm node is installed with:
-```bash
-node --version
-```
-
-2. Install [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/) and confirm it is installed by running this:
-```bash
-npm install --global pnpm
-pnpm --version
-```
-
-From `invokeai/frontend/web/` run `pnpm install` to get everything set up.
-
-Start everything in dev mode:
-1. Ensure your virtual environment is running
-2. Start the dev server: `pnpm dev`
-3. Start the InvokeAI Nodes backend: `python scripts/invokeai-web.py # run from the repo root`
-4. Point your browser to the dev server address e.g. [http://localhost:5173/](http://localhost:5173/)
-
-### VSCode Remote Dev
-
-We've noticed an intermittent issue with the VSCode Remote Dev port forwarding. If you use this feature of VSCode, you may intermittently click the Invoke button and then get nothing until the request times out. Suggest disabling the IDE's port forwarding feature and doing it manually via SSH:
-
-`ssh -L 9090:localhost:9090 -L 5173:localhost:5173 user@host`
-
-### Production builds
-
-For a number of technical and logistical reasons, we need to commit UI build artefacts to the repo.
-
-If you submit a PR, there is a good chance we will ask you to include a separate commit with a build of the app.
-
-To build for production, run `pnpm build`.

 If you are looking to help to with a code contribution, InvokeAI uses several different technologies under the hood: Python (Pydantic, FastAPI, diffusers) and Typescript (React, Redux Toolkit, ChakraUI, Mantine, Konva). Familiarity with StableDiffusion and image generation concepts is helpful, but not essential.

+## **How do I make a contribution?**
+
+Never made an open source contribution before? Wondering how contributions work in our project? Here's a quick rundown!
+
+Before starting these steps, ensure you have your local environment [configured for development](../LOCAL_DEVELOPMENT.md).
+
+1.  Find a [good first issue](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/contribute) that you are interested in addressing or a feature that you would like to add. Then, reach out to our team in the [#dev-chat](https://discord.com/channels/1020123559063990373/1049495067846524939) channel of the Discord to ensure you are  setup for success. 
+2. Fork the [InvokeAI](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI) repository to your GitHub profile. This means that you will have a copy of the repository under **your-GitHub-username/InvokeAI**.
+3. Clone the repository to your local machine using:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/your-GitHub-username/InvokeAI.git
+```
+
+If you're unfamiliar with using Git through the commandline, [GitHub Desktop](https://desktop.github.com) is a easy-to-use alternative with a UI. You can do all the same steps listed here, but through the interface. 
+
+4. Create a new branch for your fix using:
+
+```bash
+git checkout -b branch-name-here
+```
+
+5. Make the appropriate changes for the issue you are trying to address or the feature that you want to add.
+6. Add the file contents of the changed files to the "snapshot" git uses to manage the state of the project, also known as the index:
+
+```bash
+git add insert-paths-of-changed-files-here
+```
+
+7. Store the contents of the index with a descriptive message.
+
+```bash
+git commit -m "Insert a short message of the changes made here"
+```
+
+8. Push the changes to the remote repository using
+
+```markdown
+git push origin branch-name-here
+```
+
+9. Submit a pull request to the **main** branch of the InvokeAI repository.
+10. Title the pull request with a short description of the changes made and the issue or bug number associated with your change. For example, you can title an issue like so "Added more log outputting to resolve #1234".
+11. In the description of the pull request, explain the changes that you made, any issues you think exist with the pull request you made, and any questions you have for the maintainer. It's OK if your pull request is not perfect (no pull request is), the reviewer will be able to help you fix any problems and improve it!
+12. Wait for the pull request to be reviewed by other collaborators.
+13. Make changes to the pull request if the reviewer(s) recommend them.
+14. Celebrate your success after your pull request is merged!

+The UI is a fairly straightforward Typescript React app, with the Unified Canvas being more complex.
+
+Code is located in `invokeai/frontend/web/` for review.
+
+## Stack
+
+State management is Redux via [Redux Toolkit](https://github.com/reduxjs/redux-toolkit). We lean heavily on RTK:
+
+- `createAsyncThunk` for HTTP requests
+- `createEntityAdapter` for fetching images and models
+- `createListenerMiddleware` for workflows
+
+The API client and associated types are generated from the OpenAPI schema. See API_CLIENT.md.
+
+Communication with server is a mix of HTTP and [socket.io](https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-client) (with a simple socket.io redux middleware to help).
+
+[Chakra-UI](https://github.com/chakra-ui/chakra-ui) & [Mantine](https://github.com/mantinedev/mantine) for components and styling.
+
+[Konva](https://github.com/konvajs/react-konva) for the canvas, but we are pushing the limits of what is feasible with it (and HTML canvas in general). We plan to rebuild it with [PixiJS](https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs) to take advantage of WebGL's improved raster handling.
+
+[Vite](https://vitejs.dev/) for bundling.
+
+Localisation is via [i18next](https://github.com/i18next/react-i18next), but translation happens on our [Weblate](https://hosted.weblate.org/engage/invokeai/) project. Only the English source strings should be changed on this repo.

-## :octicons-log-16: Important Changes Since Version 2.3
-
-### Nodes
-
-Behind the scenes, InvokeAI has been completely rewritten to support
-"nodes," small unitary operations that can be combined into graphs to
-form arbitrary workflows. For example, there is a prompt node that
-processes the prompt string and feeds it to a text2latent node that
-generates a latent image. The latents are then fed to a latent2image
-node that translates the latent image into a PNG.
-
-The WebGUI has a node editor that allows you to graphically design and
-execute custom node graphs. The ability to save and load graphs is
-still a work in progress, but coming soon.
-
-### Command-Line Interface Retired
-
-All "invokeai" command-line interfaces have been retired as of version
-3.4.
-
-To launch the Web GUI from the command-line, use the command
-`invokeai-web` rather than the traditional `invokeai --web`.
-
-### ControlNet
-
-This version of InvokeAI features ControlNet, a system that allows you
-to achieve exact poses for human and animal figures by providing a
-model to follow. Full details are found in [ControlNet](features/CONTROLNET.md)
-
-### New Schedulers
-
-The list of schedulers has been completely revamped and brought up to date:

-# :material-tune-variant: Variations
-
-## Intro
-
-InvokeAI's support for variations enables you to do the following:
-
-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.
-
-!!! Information ""
-
-    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:
-
-`#!bash "lucy lawless as xena, warrior princess, character portrait, high resolution."`
-
-This will be indicated as `#!bash "prompt"` in the examples below.
-
-First we let SD create a series of images in the usual way, in this case
-requesting six iterations.
-
-<figure markdown>
-![var1](../assets/variation_walkthru/000001.3357757885.png)
-<figcaption> Seed 3357757885 looks nice </figcaption>
-</figure>
-
----
-
-## Step 2 - Generating Variations
-
-Let's try to generate some variations on this image. We select the "*"
-symbol in the line of icons above the image in order to fix the prompt
-and seed. Then we open up the "Variations" section of the generation
-panel and use the slider to set the variation amount to 0.2. The
-higher this value, the more each generated image will differ from the
-previous one.
-
-Now we run the prompt a second time, requesting six iterations. You
-will see six images that are thematically related to each other. Try
-increasing and decreasing the variation amount and see what happens.
-
-### **Variation Sub Seeding**
-
-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.
-
-<figure markdown>
-![var2](../assets/variation_walkthru/000002.3647897225.png)
-<figcaption>subseed 3647897225</figcaption>

-![var3](../assets/variation_walkthru/000002.1614299449.png)
-<figcaption>subseed 1614299449</figcaption>
-</figure>
-
-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.
-
-```bash
-invoke> "prompt"  -S3357757885 -V3647897225,0.1,1614299449,0.1
-Outputs:
-./outputs/Xena/000003.1614299449.png: "prompt" -s50 -W512 -H512 -C7.5 -Ak_lms -V 3647897225:0.1,1614299449:0.1 -S3357757885
-```
-
-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:
-
-<figure markdown>
-![var4](../assets/variation_walkthru/000003.1614299449.png)
-<figcaption> subseed 1614299449 </figcaption>
-</figure>
-
-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:
-
-```bash
-invoke> "prompt" -S3357757885 -V3647897225,0.1,1614299449,0.1 -v0.05 -n6
-Outputs:
-./outputs/Xena/000004.3279757577.png: "prompt" -s50 -W512 -H512 -C7.5 -Ak_lms -V 3647897225:0.1,1614299449:0.1,3279757577:0.05 -S3357757885

-```
-
-This produces six images, all slight variations on the combination of the chosen
-two images. Here's the one I like best:
-

-![var5](../assets/variation_walkthru/000004.3747154981.png)
-<figcaption> subseed 3747154981 </figcaption>
-</figure>
-
-As you can see, this is a very powerful tool, which when combined with subprompt
-weighting, gives you great control over the content and quality of your
-generated images.
-
-## Variations and Samplers
-
-The sampler you choose has a strong effect on variation strength. Some
-samplers, such as `k_euler_a` are very "creative" and produce significant
-amounts of image-to-image variation even when the seed is fixed and the
-`-v` argument is very low. Others are more deterministic. Feel free to
-experiment until you find the combination that you like.
-
-Also be aware of the [Perlin Noise](../features/OTHER.md#thresholding-and-perlin-noise-initialization-options)
-feature, which provides another way of introducing variability into your
-image generation requests.

+title: Textual Inversion Embeddings and LoRAs
+---
+
+# :material-library-shelves: Textual Inversions and LoRAs
+
+With the advances in research, many new capabilities are available to customize the knowledge and understanding of novel concepts not originally contained in the base model. 
+
+
+## Using Textual Inversion Files
+
+Textual inversion (TI) files are small models that customize the output of
+Stable Diffusion image generation. They can augment SD with specialized subjects
+and artistic styles. They are also known as "embeds" in the machine learning
+world.
+
+Each TI file introduces one or more vocabulary terms to the SD model. These are
+known in InvokeAI as "triggers." Triggers are denoted using angle brackets 
+as in "<trigger-phrase>". The two most common type of
+TI files that you'll encounter are `.pt` and `.bin` files, which are produced by
+different TI training packages. InvokeAI supports both formats, but its
+[built-in TI training system](TRAINING.md) produces `.pt`.
+
+The [Hugging Face company](https://huggingface.co/sd-concepts-library) has
+amassed a large ligrary of >800 community-contributed TI files covering a
+broad range of subjects and styles. You can also install your own or others' TI files 
+by placing them in the designated directory for the compatible model type
+
+### An Example
+
+Here are a few examples to illustrate how it works. All these images were
+generated using the command-line client and the Stable Diffusion 1.5 model:
+
+|         Japanese gardener          | Japanese gardener <ghibli-face> | Japanese gardener <hoi4-leaders> | Japanese gardener <cartoona-animals> |
+| :--------------------------------: | :-----------------------------------: | :------------------------------------: | :----------------------------------------: |
+| ![](../assets/concepts/image1.png) |  ![](../assets/concepts/image2.png)   |   ![](../assets/concepts/image3.png)   |     ![](../assets/concepts/image4.png)     |
+
+You can also combine styles and concepts:
+
+<figure markdown>
+  | A portrait of &lt;alf&gt; in &lt;cartoona-animal&gt; style |
+  | :--------------------------------------------------------: |
+  | ![](../assets/concepts/image5.png)                         |
+</figure>
+
+
+## Installing your Own TI Files
+
+You may install any number of `.pt` and `.bin` files simply by copying them into
+the `embedding` directory of the corresponding InvokeAI models directory (usually `invokeai`
+in your home directory). For example, you can simply move a Stable Diffusion 1.5 embedding file to
+the `sd-1/embedding` folder. Be careful not to overwrite one file with another.
+For example, TI files generated by the Hugging Face toolkit share the named
+`learned_embedding.bin`. You can rename these, or use subdirectories to keep them distinct.
+
+At startup time, InvokeAI will scan the various `embedding` directories and load any TI
+files it finds there for compatible models. At startup you will see a message similar to this one:
+
+```bash
+>> Current embedding manager terms: <HOI4-Leader>, <princess-knight>
+```
+To use these when generating, simply type the `<` key in your prompt to open the Textual Inversion WebUI and 
+select the embedding you'd like to use. This UI has type-ahead support, so you can easily find supported embeddings.
+
+## Using LoRAs
+
+LoRA files are models that customize the output of Stable Diffusion
+image generation.  Larger than embeddings, but much smaller than full
+models, they augment SD with improved understanding of subjects and
+artistic styles.
+
+Unlike TI files, LoRAs do not introduce novel vocabulary into the
+model's known tokens. Instead, LoRAs augment the model's weights that
+are applied to generate imagery. LoRAs may be supplied with a
+"trigger" word that they have been explicitly trained on, or may
+simply apply their effect without being triggered.
+
+LoRAs are typically stored in .safetensors files, which are the most
+secure way to store and transmit these types of weights. You may
+install any number of `.safetensors` LoRA files simply by copying them
+into the `autoimport/lora` directory of the corresponding InvokeAI models
+directory (usually `invokeai` in your home directory).
+
+To use these when generating, open the LoRA menu item in the options
+panel, select the LoRAs you want to apply and ensure that they have
+the appropriate weight recommended by the model provider. Typically,
+most LoRAs perform best at a weight of .75-1.

To do this, copy the repo ID from the desired model page, and paste it in the Add Model field of the model manager. **Note** Both the IP-Adapter and the Image Encoder must be installed for IP-Adapter to work. For example, the [SD 1.5 IP-Adapter](https://models.invoke.ai/InvokeAI/ip_adapter_plus_sd15) and [SD1.5 Image Encoder](https://models.invoke.ai/InvokeAI/ip_adapter_sd_image_encoder) must be installed to use IP-Adapter with SD1.5 based models.  
-3. **Advanced -- Not recommended ** Manually downloading the IP-Adapter and Image Encoder files - Image Encoder folders shouid be placed in the `models\any\clip_vision` folders. IP Adapter Model folders should be placed in the relevant `ip-adapter` folder of relevant base model folder of Invoke root directory. For example, for the SDXL IP-Adapter, files should be added to the `model/sdxl/ip_adapter/` folder.

-# :material-library-shelves: LoRAs & LCM-LoRAs
-
-With the advances in research, many new capabilities are available to customize the knowledge and understanding of novel concepts not originally contained in the base model. 
-
-## LoRAs
-
-Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) files are models that customize the output of Stable Diffusion
-image generation.  Larger than embeddings, but much smaller than full
-models, they augment SD with improved understanding of subjects and
-artistic styles.
-
-Unlike TI files, LoRAs do not introduce novel vocabulary into the
-model's known tokens. Instead, LoRAs augment the model's weights that
-are applied to generate imagery. LoRAs may be supplied with a
-"trigger" word that they have been explicitly trained on, or may
-simply apply their effect without being triggered.
-
-LoRAs are typically stored in .safetensors files, which are the most
-secure way to store and transmit these types of weights. You may
-install any number of `.safetensors` LoRA files simply by copying them
-into the `autoimport/lora` directory of the corresponding InvokeAI models
-directory (usually `invokeai` in your home directory).
-
-To use these when generating, open the LoRA menu item in the options
-panel, select the LoRAs you want to apply and ensure that they have
-the appropriate weight recommended by the model provider. Typically,
-most LoRAs perform best at a weight of .75-1.
-
-
-## LCM-LoRAs
-Latent Consistency Models (LCMs) allowed a reduced number of steps to be used to generate images with Stable Diffusion. These are created by distilling base models, creating models that only require a small number of steps to generate images. However, LCMs require that any fine-tune of a base model be distilled to be used as an LCM. 
-
-LCM-LoRAs are models that provide the benefit of LCMs but are able to be used as LoRAs and applied to any fine tune of a base model. LCM-LoRAs are created by training a small number of adapters, rather than distilling the entire fine-tuned base model. The resulting LoRA can be used the same way as a standard LoRA, but with a greatly reduced step count. This enables SDXL images to be generated up to 10x faster than without the use of LCM-LoRAs. 
-
-
-**Using LCM-LoRAs**
-
-LCM-LoRAs are natively supported in InvokeAI throughout the application. To get started, install any diffusers format LCM-LoRAs using the model manager and select it in the LoRA field.
-
-There are a number parameter differences when using LCM-LoRAs and standard generation: 
-
-- When using LCM-LoRAs, the LoRA strength should be lower than if using a standard LoRA, with 0.35 recommended as a starting point.  
-- The LCM scheduler should be used for generation
-- CFG-Scale should be reduced to ~1
-- Steps should be reduced in the range of 4-8
-
-Standard LoRAs can also be used alongside LCM-LoRAs, but will also require a lower strength, with 0.45 being recommended as a starting point.

+# Nodes Editor (Experimental)
+
+🚨
+*The node editor is experimental. We've made it accessible because we use it to develop the application, but we have not addressed the many known rough edges. It's very easy to shoot yourself in the foot, and we cannot offer support for it until it sees full release (ETA v3.1). Everything is subject to change without warning.* 
+🚨
+
+The nodes editor is a blank canvas allowing for the use of individual functions and image transformations to control the image generation workflow. The node processing flow is usually done from left (inputs) to right (outputs), though linearity can become abstracted the more complex the node graph becomes. Nodes inputs and outputs are connected by dragging connectors from node to node.
+
+To better understand how nodes are used, think of how an electric power bar works. It takes in one input (electricity from a wall outlet) and passes it to multiple devices through multiple outputs. Similarly, a node could have multiple inputs and outputs functioning at the same (or different) time, but all node outputs pass information onward like a power bar passes electricity. Not all outputs are compatible with all inputs, however - Each node has different constraints on how it is expecting to input/output information. In general, node outputs are colour-coded to match compatible inputs of other nodes.
+
+## Anatomy of a Node
+
+Individual nodes are made up of the following:
+
+- Inputs: Edge points on the left side of the node window where you connect outputs from other nodes.
+- Outputs: Edge points on the right side of the node window where you connect to inputs on other nodes.
+- Options: Various options which are either manually configured, or overridden by connecting an output from another node to the input.
+
+## Diffusion Overview
+
+Taking the time to understand the diffusion process will help you to understand how to set up your nodes in the nodes editor. 
+
+There are two main spaces Stable Diffusion works in: image space and latent space.
+
+Image space represents images in pixel form that you look at. Latent space represents compressed inputs. It’s in latent space that Stable Diffusion processes images. A VAE (Variational Auto Encoder) is responsible for compressing and encoding inputs into latent space, as well as decoding outputs back into image space.
+
+When you generate an image using text-to-image, multiple steps occur in latent space:
+1. Random noise is generated at the chosen height and width. The noise’s characteristics are dictated by the chosen (or not chosen) seed. This noise tensor is passed into latent space. We’ll call this noise A.
+1. Using a model’s U-Net, a noise predictor examines noise A, and the words tokenized by CLIP from your prompt (conditioning). It generates its own noise tensor to predict what the final image might look like in latent space. We’ll call this noise B.
+1. Noise B is subtracted from noise A in an attempt to create a final latent image indicative of the inputs. This step is repeated for the number of sampler steps chosen.
+1. The VAE decodes the final latent image from latent space into image space.
+
+image-to-image is a similar process, with only step 1 being different:
+1. The input image is decoded from image space into latent space by the VAE. Noise is then added to the input latent image. Denoising Strength dictates how much noise is added, 0 being none, and 1 being all-encompassing. We’ll call this noise A. The process is then the same as steps 2-4 in the text-to-image explanation above. 
+
+Furthermore, a model provides the CLIP prompt tokenizer, the VAE, and a U-Net (where noise prediction occurs given a prompt and initial noise tensor).
+
+A noise scheduler (eg. DPM++ 2M Karras) schedules the subtraction of noise from the latent image across the sampler steps chosen (step 3 above). Less noise is usually subtracted at higher sampler steps.

+## Node Grouping Concepts
+
+There are several node grouping concepts that can be examined with a narrow focus. These (and other) groupings can be pieced together to make up functional graph setups, and are important to understanding how groups of nodes work together as part of a whole. Note that the screenshots below aren't examples of complete functioning node graphs (see Examples).
+
+### Noise
+
+As described, an initial noise tensor is necessary for the latent diffusion process. As a result, all non-image *ToLatents nodes require a noise node input.  
+
+![groupsnoise](../assets/nodes/groupsnoise.png)
+
+### Conditioning
+
+As described, conditioning is necessary for the latent diffusion process, whether empty or not. As a result, all non-image *ToLatents nodes require positive and negative conditioning inputs. Conditioning is reliant on a CLIP tokenizer provided by the Model Loader node.
+
+![groupsconditioning](../assets/nodes/groupsconditioning.png)
+
+### Image Space & VAE
+
+The ImageToLatents node doesn't require a noise node input, but requires a VAE input to convert the image from image space into latent space. In reverse, the LatentsToImage node requires a VAE input to convert from latent space back into image space.
+
+![groupsimgvae](../assets/nodes/groupsimgvae.png)
+
+### Defined & Random Seeds
+
+It is common to want to use both the same seed (for continuity) and random seeds (for variance). To define a seed, simply enter it into the 'Seed' field on a noise node. Conversely, the RandomInt node generates a random integer between 'Low' and 'High', and can be used as input to the 'Seed' edge point on a noise node to randomize your seed.
+
+![groupsrandseed](../assets/nodes/groupsrandseed.png)
+
+### Control
+
+Control means to guide the diffusion process to adhere to a defined input or structure. Control can be provided as input to non-image *ToLatents nodes from ControlNet nodes. ControlNet nodes usually require an image processor which converts an input image for use with ControlNet.
+
+![groupscontrol](../assets/nodes/groupscontrol.png)
+
+### LoRA
+
+The Lora Loader node lets you load a LoRA (say that ten times fast) and pass it as output to both the Prompt (Compel) and non-image *ToLatents nodes. A model's CLIP tokenizer is passed through the LoRA into Prompt (Compel), where it affects conditioning. A model's U-Net is also passed through the LoRA into a non-image *ToLatents node, where it affects noise prediction.
+
+![groupslora](../assets/nodes/groupslora.png)
+
+### Scaling
+
+Use the ImageScale, ScaleLatents, and Upscale nodes to upscale images and/or latent images. The chosen method differs across contexts. However, be aware that latents are already noisy and compressed at their original resolution; scaling an image could produce more detailed results.
+
+![groupsallscale](../assets/nodes/groupsallscale.png)
+
+### Iteration + Multiple Images as Input
+
+Iteration is a common concept in any processing, and means to repeat a process with given input. In nodes, you're able to use the Iterate node to iterate through collections usually gathered by the Collect node. The Iterate node has many potential uses, from processing a collection of images one after another, to varying seeds across multiple image generations and more. This screenshot demonstrates how to collect several images and pass them out one at a time.
+
+![groupsiterate](../assets/nodes/groupsiterate.png)
+
+### Multiple Image Generation + Random Seeds
+
+Multiple image generation in the node editor is done using the RandomRange node. In this case, the 'Size' field represents the number of images to generate. As RandomRange produces a collection of integers, we need to add the Iterate node to iterate through the collection. 
+
+To control seeds across generations takes some care. The first row in the screenshot will generate multiple images with different seeds, but using the same RandomRange parameters across invocations will result in the same group of random seeds being used across the images, producing repeatable results. In the second row, adding the RandomInt node as input to RandomRange's 'Seed' edge point will ensure that seeds are varied across all images across invocations, producing varied results.

+
+## Examples
+
+With our knowledge of node grouping and the diffusion process, let’s break down some basic graphs in the nodes editor. Note that a node's options can be overridden by inputs from other nodes. These examples aren't strict rules to follow and only demonstrate some basic configurations.
+
+### Basic text-to-image Node Graph
+
+![nodest2i](../assets/nodes/nodest2i.png)
+
+- Model Loader: A necessity to generating images (as we’ve read above). We choose our model from the dropdown. It outputs a U-Net, CLIP tokenizer, and VAE.
+- Prompt (Compel): Another necessity. Two prompt nodes are created. One will output positive conditioning (what you want, ‘dog’), one will output negative (what you don’t want, ‘cat’). They both input the CLIP tokenizer that the Model Loader node outputs.
+- Noise: Consider this noise A from step one of the text-to-image explanation above. Choose a seed number, width, and height.
+- TextToLatents: This node takes many inputs for converting and processing text & noise from image space into latent space, hence the name TextTo**Latents**. In this setup, it inputs positive and negative conditioning from the prompt nodes for processing (step 2 above). It inputs noise from the noise node for processing (steps 2 & 3 above). Lastly, it inputs a U-Net from the Model Loader node for processing (step 2 above). It outputs latents for use in the next LatentsToImage node. Choose number of sampler steps, CFG scale, and scheduler.
+- LatentsToImage: This node takes in processed latents from the TextToLatents node, and the model’s VAE from the Model Loader node which is responsible for decoding latents back into the image space, hence the name LatentsTo**Image**. This node is the last stop, and once the image is decoded, it is saved to the gallery.
+
+### Basic image-to-image Node Graph
+
+![nodesi2i](../assets/nodes/nodesi2i.png)
+
+- Model Loader: Choose a model from the dropdown.
+- Prompt (Compel): Two prompt nodes. One positive (dog), one negative (dog). Same CLIP inputs from the Model Loader node as before.
+- ImageToLatents: Upload a source image directly in the node window, via drag'n'drop from the gallery, or passed in as input. The ImageToLatents node inputs the VAE from the Model Loader node to decode the chosen image from image space into latent space, hence the name ImageTo**Latents**. It outputs latents for use in the next LatentsToLatents node. It also outputs the source image's width and height for use in the next Noise node if the final image is to be the same dimensions as the source image.
+- Noise: A noise tensor is created with the width and height of the source image, and connected to the next LatentsToLatents node. Notice the width and height fields are overridden by the input from the ImageToLatents width and height outputs.
+- LatentsToLatents: The inputs and options are nearly identical to TextToLatents, except that LatentsToLatents also takes latents as an input. Considering our source image is already converted to latents in the last ImageToLatents node, and text + noise are no longer the only inputs to process, we use the LatentsToLatents node. 
+- LatentsToImage: Like previously, the LatentsToImage node will use the VAE from the Model Loader as input to decode the latents from LatentsToLatents into image space, and save it to the gallery.
+
+### Basic ControlNet Node Graph
+
+![nodescontrol](../assets/nodes/nodescontrol.png)
+
+- Model Loader
+- Prompt (Compel)
+- Noise: Width and height of the CannyImageProcessor ControlNet image is passed in to set the dimensions of the noise passed to TextToLatents.
+- CannyImageProcessor: The CannyImageProcessor node is used to process the source image being used as a ControlNet. Each ControlNet processor node applies control in different ways, and has some different options to configure. Width and height are passed to noise, as mentioned. The processed ControlNet image is output to the ControlNet node.
+- ControlNet: Select the type of control model. In this case, canny is chosen as the CannyImageProcessor was used to generate the ControlNet image. Configure the control node options, and pass the control output to TextToLatents.
+- TextToLatents: Similar to the basic text-to-image example, except ControlNet is passed to the control input edge point.
+- LatentsToImage

-This sections details the ability to improve faces and upscale images.
+## Intro
+
+This extension provides the ability to restore faces and upscale images.
 
 ## Face Fixing
 
-As of InvokeAI 3.0, the easiest way to improve faces created during image generation is through the Inpainting functionality of the Unified Canvas. Simply add the image containing the faces that you would like to improve to the canvas, mask the face to be improved and run the invocation. For best results, make sure to use an inpainting specific model; these are usually identified by the "-inpainting" term in the model name. 
+The default face restoration module is GFPGAN. The default upscale is
+Real-ESRGAN. For an alternative face restoration module, see
+[CodeFormer Support](#codeformer-support) below.
 
-## Upscaling
+As of version 1.14, environment.yaml will install the Real-ESRGAN package into
+the standard install location for python packages, and will put GFPGAN into a
+subdirectory of "src" in the InvokeAI directory. Upscaling with Real-ESRGAN
+should "just work" without further intervention. Simply indicate the desired scale on
+the popup in the Web GUI.
+
+**GFPGAN** requires a series of downloadable model files to work. These are
+loaded when you run `invokeai-configure`. If GFPAN is failing with an
+error, please run the following from the InvokeAI directory:
+
+```bash
+invokeai-configure
+```
+
+If you do not run this script in advance, the GFPGAN module will attempt to
+download the models files the first time you try to perform facial
+reconstruction.

-The default upscaling option is Real-ESRGAN x2 Plus, which will scale your image by a factor of two. This means upscaling a 512x512 image will result in a new 1024x1024 image.
+There are three different upscaling parameters that you can
+adjust. The first is the scale itself, either 2x or 4x.

+### Face Restoration
+
+InvokeAI offers alternative two face restoration algorithms,
+[GFPGAN](https://github.com/TencentARC/GFPGAN) and
+[CodeFormer](https://huggingface.co/spaces/sczhou/CodeFormer). These
+algorithms improve the appearance of faces, particularly eyes and
+mouths. Issues with faces are less common with the latest set of
+Stable Diffusion models than with the original 1.4 release, but the
+restoration algorithms can still make a noticeable improvement in
+certain cases. You can also apply restoration to old photographs you
+upload.
+
+To access face restoration, click the "smiley face" icon in the
+toolbar above the InvokeAI image panel. You will be presented with a
+dialog that offers a choice between the two algorithm and sliders that
+allow you to adjust their parameters. Alternatively, you may open the
+left-hand accordion panel labeled "Face Restoration" and have the
+restoration algorithm of your choice applied to generated images
+automatically.
+
+
+Like upscaling, there are a number of parameters that adjust the face
+restoration output. GFPGAN has a single parameter, `strength`, which
+controls how much the algorithm is allowed to adjust the
+image. CodeFormer has two parameters, `strength`, and `fidelity`,
+which together control the quality of the output image as described in
+the [CodeFormer project
+page](https://shangchenzhou.com/projects/CodeFormer/). Default values
+are 0.75 for both parameters, which achieves a reasonable balance
+between changing the image too much and not enough.
+
+[This figure](../assets/features/restoration-montage.png) illustrates

-
-In the prompt box, enter a positive or negative prompt as you normally would. 
-
-For the style box you can enter a style that you want the image to be generated in. You can use styles from this example list, or any other style you wish: anime, photographic, digital art, comic book, fantasy art, analog film, neon punk, isometric, low poly, origami, line art, cinematic, 3d model, pixel art, etc.
-
-
-### Concatenated Prompts
-
-
-InvokeAI also has the option to concatenate the prompt and style inputs, by pressing the "link" button in the Positive Prompt box. 
-
-This concatenates the prompt & style inputs, and passes the joined prompt and style to the SDXL model.

-## Using Textual Inversion Files
-
-Textual inversion (TI) files are small models that customize the output of
-Stable Diffusion image generation. They can augment SD with specialized subjects
-and artistic styles. They are also known as "embeds" in the machine learning
-world.
-
-Each TI file introduces one or more vocabulary terms to the SD model. These are
-known in InvokeAI as "triggers." Triggers are denoted using angle brackets 
-as in "<trigger-phrase>". The two most common type of
-TI files that you'll encounter are `.pt` and `.bin` files, which are produced by
-different TI training packages. InvokeAI supports both formats, but its
-[built-in TI training system](TRAINING.md) produces `.pt`.
-
-[Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/sd-concepts-library) has
-amassed a large library of >800 community-contributed TI files covering a
-broad range of subjects and styles. You can also install your own or others' TI files 
-by placing them in the designated directory for the compatible model type
-
-### An Example
-
-Here are a few examples to illustrate how it works. All these images
-were generated using the legacy command-line client and the Stable
-Diffusion 1.5 model:

-
-You can also combine styles and concepts:
-
-<figure markdown>
-  | A portrait of &lt;alf&gt; in &lt;cartoona-animal&gt; style |
-  | :--------------------------------------------------------: |
-  | ![](../assets/concepts/image5.png)                         |
-</figure>
-
-
-## Installing your Own TI Files
-
-You may install any number of `.pt` and `.bin` files simply by copying them into
-the `embedding` directory of the corresponding InvokeAI models directory (usually `invokeai`
-in your home directory). For example, you can simply move a Stable Diffusion 1.5 embedding file to
-the `sd-1/embedding` folder. Be careful not to overwrite one file with another.
-For example, TI files generated by the Hugging Face toolkit share the named
-`learned_embedding.bin`. You can rename these, or use subdirectories to keep them distinct.
-
-At startup time, InvokeAI will scan the various `embedding` directories and load any TI
-files it finds there for compatible models. At startup you will see a message similar to this one:
-
-```bash
->> Current embedding manager terms: <HOI4-Leader>, <princess-knight>
-```
-To use these when generating, simply type the `<` key in your prompt to open the Textual Inversion WebUI and 
-select the embedding you'd like to use. This UI has type-ahead support, so you can easily find supported embeddings.

-### Compositing / Seam Correction
+### Seam Correction
 
 When doing Inpainting or Outpainting, Invoke needs to merge the pixels generated
-by Stable Diffusion into your existing image. This is achieved through compositing - the area around the the boundary between your image and the new generation is
+by Stable Diffusion into your existing image. To do this, the area around the
+`seam` at the boundary between your image and the new generation is
 automatically blended to produce a seamless output. In a fully automatic
-process, a mask is generated to cover the boundary, and then the area of the boundary is
+process, a mask is generated to cover the seam, and then the area of the seam is
 Inpainted.
 
 Although the default options should work well most of the time, sometimes it can

-  - **Mask edge** will apply Compositing to the edge of the masked area
-  - **Mask** will apply Compositing to the entire masked area
-  - **Unmasked** will apply Compositing to the entire image
-- **Steps** - Number of generation steps that will occur during the Coherence Pass, similar to Denoising Steps. Higher step counts will generally have better results.
-- **Strength** - How much noise is added for the Coherence Pass, similar to Denoising Strength. A strength of 0 will result in an unchanged image, while a strength of 1 will result in an image with a completely new area as defined by the Mode setting.
-- **Blur** - Adjusts the pixel radius of the the mask. A larger blur radius will cause the mask to extend past the visibly masked area, while too small of a blur radius will result in a mask that is smaller than the visibly masked area.
-- **Blur Method** - The method of blur applied to the masked area.

-# Command-line Utilities
-
-InvokeAI comes with several scripts that are accessible via the
-command line. To access these commands, start the "developer's
-console" from the launcher (`invoke.bat` menu item [7]). Users who are
-familiar with Python can alternatively activate InvokeAI's virtual
-environment (typically, but not necessarily `invokeai/.venv`).
-
-In the developer's console, type the script's name to run it. To get a
-synopsis of what a utility does and the command-line arguments it
-accepts, pass it the `-h` argument, e.g.
-
-```bash
-invokeai-merge -h
-```
-## **invokeai-web**
-
-This script launches the web server and is effectively identical to
-selecting option [1] in the launcher. An advantage of launching the
-server from the command line is that you can override any setting
-configuration option in `invokeai.yaml` using like-named command-line
-arguments. For example, to temporarily change the size of the RAM
-cache to 7 GB, you can launch as follows:
-
-```bash
-invokeai-web --ram 7
-```
-
-## **invokeai-merge**
-
-This is the model merge script, the same as launcher option [3]. Call
-it with the `--gui` command-line argument to start the interactive
-console-based GUI. Alternatively, you can run it non-interactively
-using command-line arguments as illustrated in the example below which
-merges models named `stable-diffusion-1.5` and `inkdiffusion` into a new model named
-`my_new_model`:
-
-```bash
-invokeai-merge --force --base-model sd-1 --models stable-diffusion-1.5 inkdiffusion --merged_model_name my_new_model
-```
-
-## **invokeai-ti**
-
-This is the textual inversion training script that is run by launcher
-option [2]. Call it with `--gui` to run the interactive console-based
-front end. It can also be run non-interactively. It has about a
-zillion arguments, but a typical training session can be launched
-with:
-
-```bash
-invokeai-ti --model stable-diffusion-1.5 \
-            --placeholder_token 'jello' \
-            --learnable_property object \
-			--num_train_epochs 50 \
-			--train_data_dir /path/to/training/images \
-			--output_dir /path/to/trained/model
-```
-
-(Note that \\ is the Linux/Mac long-line continuation character. Use ^
-in Windows).
-
-## **invokeai-install**
-
-This is the console-based model install script that is run by launcher
-option [4]. If called without arguments, it will launch the
-interactive console-based interface. It can also be used
-non-interactively to list, add and remove models as shown by these
-examples:
-
-* This will download and install three models from CivitAI, HuggingFace,
-and local disk:
-
-```bash
-invokeai-install --add https://civitai.com/api/download/models/161302 ^
-                  gsdf/Counterfeit-V3.0  ^
-				  D:\Models\merge_model_two.safetensors
-```
-(Note that ^ is the Windows long-line continuation character. Use \\ on
-Linux/Mac).
-
-* This will list installed models of type `main`:
-
-```bash
-invokeai-model-install --list-models main
-```
-
-* This will delete the models named `voxel-ish` and `realisticVision`:
-
-```bash
-invokeai-model-install --delete voxel-ish realisticVision
-```
-
-## **invokeai-configure**
-
-This is the console-based configure script that ran when InvokeAI was
-first installed. You can run it again at any time to change the
-configuration, repair a broken install.
-
-Called without any arguments, `invokeai-configure` enters interactive
-mode with two screens. The first screen is a form that provides access
-to most of InvokeAI's configuration options. The second screen lets
-you download, add, and delete models interactively. When you exit the
-second screen, the script will add any missing "support models"
-needed for core functionality, and any selected "sd weights" which are
-the model checkpoint/diffusers files.
-
-This behavior can be changed via a series of command-line
-arguments. Here are some of the useful ones:
-
-* `invokeai-configure --skip-sd-weights --skip-support-models`
-This will run just the configuration part of the utility, skipping
-downloading of support models and stable diffusion weights.
-
-* `invokeai-configure --yes`
-This will run the configure script non-interactively. It will set the
-configuration options to their default values, install/repair support
-models, and download the "recommended" set of SD models.
-
-* `invokeai-configure --yes --default_only` 
-This will run the configure script non-interactively. In contrast to
-the previous command, it will only download the default SD model,
-Stable Diffusion v1.5
-
-* `invokeai-configure --yes --default_only --skip-sd-weights` 
-This is similar to the previous command, but will not download any
-SD models at all. It is usually used to repair a broken install.
-
-By default, `invokeai-configure` runs on the currently active InvokeAI
-root folder. To run it against a different root, pass it the `--root
-</path/to/root>` argument.
-
-Lastly, you can use `invokeai-configure` to create a working root
-directory entirely from scratch. Assuming you wish to make a root directory
-named `InvokeAI-New`, run this command:
-
-```bash
-invokeai-configure --root InvokeAI-New --yes --default_only
-```
-This will create a minimally functional root directory. You can now
-launch the web server against it with `invokeai-web --root InvokeAI-New`.
-
-## **invokeai-update**
-
-This is the interactive console-based script that is run by launcher
-menu item [8] to update to a new version of InvokeAI. It takes no
-command-line arguments.
-
-## **invokeai-metadata**
-
-This is a script which takes a list of InvokeAI-generated images and
-outputs their metadata in the same JSON format that you get from the
-`</>` button in the Web GUI. For example:

-## **invokeai-db-maintenance**
-
-This script helps maintain the integrity of your InvokeAI database by
-finding and fixing three problems that can arise over time:
-
-1. An image was manually deleted from the outputs directory, leaving a
-   dangling image record in the InvokeAI database. This will cause a
-   black image to appear in the gallery. This is an "orphaned database
-   image record." The script can fix this by running a "clean"
-   operation on the database, removing the orphaned entries.
-   
-2. An image is present in the outputs directory but there is no
-   corresponding entry in the database. This can happen when the image
-   is added manually to the outputs directory, or if a crash occurred
-   after the image was generated but before the database was
-   completely updated. The symptom is that the image is present in the
-   outputs folder but doesn't appear in the InvokeAI gallery. This is
-   called an "orphaned image file." The script can fix this problem by
-   running an "archive" operation in which orphaned files are moved
-   into a directory named `outputs/images-archive`. If you wish, you
-   can then run `invokeai-image-import` to reimport these images back
-   into the database.
-   
-3. The thumbnail for an image is missing, again causing a black
-   gallery thumbnail. This is fixed by running the "thumbnaiils"
-   operation, which simply regenerates and re-registers the missing
-   thumbnail.
-   
-You can find and fix all three of these problems in a single go by
-executing this command:
-
-```bash
-invokeai-db-maintenance --operation all
-```
-
-Or you can run just the clean and thumbnail operations like this:
-
-```bash
-invokeai-db-maintenance -operation clean, thumbnail
-```
-
-If called without any arguments, the script will ask you which
-operations you wish to perform.
-
-## **invokeai-migrate3**
-
-This script will migrate settings and models (but not images!) from an
-InvokeAI v2.3 root folder to an InvokeAI 3.X folder. Call it with the
-source and destination root folders like this:
-
-```bash
-invokeai-migrate3 --from ~/invokeai-2.3 --to invokeai-3.1.1
-```
-
-Both directories must previously have been properly created and
-initialized by `invokeai-configure`. If you wish to migrate the images
-contained in the older root as well, you can use the
-`invokeai-image-migrate` script described earlier.

+
+## Intro
+
+InvokeAI's support for variations enables you to do the following:
+
+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.
+
+!!! Information ""
+
+    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:
+
+`#!bash "lucy lawless as xena, warrior princess, character portrait, high resolution."`
+
+This will be indicated as `#!bash "prompt"` in the examples below.
+
+First we let SD create a series of images in the usual way, in this case
+requesting six iterations.

+and seed. Then we open up the "Variations" section of the generation
+panel and use the slider to set the variation amount to 0.2. The
+higher this value, the more each generated image will differ from the
+previous one.
+
+Now we run the prompt a second time, requesting six iterations. You
+will see six images that are thematically related to each other. Try
+increasing and decreasing the variation amount and see what happens.
+
+### **Variation Sub Seeding**
+
+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.
+
+```bash
+invoke> "prompt"  -S3357757885 -V3647897225,0.1,1614299449,0.1
+Outputs:
+./outputs/Xena/000003.1614299449.png: "prompt" -s50 -W512 -H512 -C7.5 -Ak_lms -V 3647897225:0.1,1614299449:0.1 -S3357757885
+```
+
+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:
+
+<figure markdown>
+![var4](../assets/variation_walkthru/000003.1614299449.png)
+<figcaption> subseed 1614299449 </figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+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:
+
+```bash
+invoke> "prompt" -S3357757885 -V3647897225,0.1,1614299449,0.1 -v0.05 -n6

+```
+
+This produces six images, all slight variations on the combination of the chosen
+two images. Here's the one I like best:

+<figcaption> subseed 3747154981 </figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+As you can see, this is a very powerful tool, which when combined with subprompt
+weighting, gives you great control over the content and quality of your
+generated images.
+
+## Variations and Samplers
+
+The sampler you choose has a strong effect on variation strength. Some
+samplers, such as `k_euler_a` are very "creative" and produce significant
+amounts of image-to-image variation even when the seed is fixed and the
+`-v` argument is very low. Others are more deterministic. Feel free to
+experiment until you find the combination that you like.
+
+Also be aware of the [Perlin Noise](OTHER.md#thresholding-and-perlin-noise-initialization-options)
+feature, which provides another way of introducing variability into your
+image generation requests.

-# FAQs
-
-**Where do I get started? How can I install Invoke?**
-
-- You can download the latest installers [here](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/releases) - Note that any releases marked as *pre-release* are in a beta state. You may experience some issues, but we appreciate your help testing those! For stable/reliable installations, please install the **[Latest Release](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/releases/latest)**
-
-**How can I download models? Can I use models I already have downloaded?**
-
-- Models can be downloaded through the model manager, or through option [4] in the invoke.bat/invoke.sh launcher script. To download a model through the Model Manager, use the HuggingFace Repo ID by pressing the “Copy” button next to the repository name. Alternatively, to download a model from CivitAi, use the download link in the Model Manager.
-- Models that are already downloaded can be used by creating a symlink to the model location in the `autoimport` folder or by using the Model Manger’s “Scan for Models” function.
-
-**My images are taking a long time to generate. How can I speed up generation?** 
-
-- A common solution is to reduce the size of your RAM & VRAM cache to 0.25. This ensures your system has enough memory to generate images.
-- Additionally, check the [hardware requirements](https://invoke-ai.github.io/InvokeAI/#hardware-requirements) to ensure that your system is capable of generating images.
-- Lastly, double check your generations are happening on your GPU (if you have one). InvokeAI will log what is being used for generation upon startup. 
-
-**I’ve installed Python on Windows but the installer says it can’t find it?**
-
-- Then ensure that you checked  **'Add python.exe to PATH'** when installing Python. This can be found at the bottom of the Python Installer window. If you already have Python installed, this can be done with the modify / repair feature of the installer.
-
-**I’ve installed everything successfully but I still get an error about Triton when starting Invoke?**
-
-- This can be safely ignored. InvokeAI doesn't use Triton, but if you are on Linux and wish to dismiss the error, you can install Triton.
-
-**I updated to 3.4.0 and now xFormers can’t load C++/CUDA?**
-
-- An issue occurred with your PyTorch update. Follow these steps to fix :
-    1. Launch your invoke.bat / invoke.sh and select the option to open the developer console
-    2. Run:`pip install ".[xformers]" --upgrade --force-reinstall --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121`
-    - If you run into an error with `typing_extensions`, re-open the developer console and run:  `pip install -U typing-extensions`
-
-**It says my pip is out of date - is that why my install isn't working?**
-- An out of date won't cause an installation to fail. The cause of the error can likely be found above the message that says pip is out of date.
-- If you saw that warning but the install went well, don't worry about it (but you can update pip afterwards if you'd like).   
-
-**How can I generate the exact same that I found on the internet?**
-Most example images with prompts that you'll find on the internet have been generated using different software, so you can't expect to get identical results. In order to reproduce an image, you need to replicate the exact settings and processing steps, including (but not limited to) the model, the positive and negative prompts, the seed, the sampler, the exact image size, any upscaling steps, etc.

-Taking the time to understand the diffusion process will help you to understand how to more effectively use InvokeAI.
-
-There are two main ways Stable Diffusion works - with images, and latents.
-
-Image space represents images in pixel form that you look at. Latent space represents compressed inputs. It’s in latent space that Stable Diffusion processes images. A VAE (Variational Auto Encoder) is responsible for compressing and encoding inputs into latent space, as well as decoding outputs back into image space.
-
-To fully understand the diffusion process, we need to understand a few more terms: UNet, CLIP, and conditioning.
-
-A U-Net is a model trained on a large number of latent images with with known amounts of random noise added.  This means that the U-Net can be given a slightly noisy image and it will predict the pattern of noise needed to subtract from the image in order to recover the original. 
-
-CLIP is a model that tokenizes and encodes text into conditioning. This conditioning guides the model during the denoising steps to produce a new image. 
-
-The U-Net and CLIP work together during the image generation process at each denoising step, with the U-Net removing noise in such a way that the result is similar to images in the U-Net’s training set, while CLIP guides the U-Net towards creating images that are most similar to the prompt.
-
-
-When you generate an image using text-to-image, multiple steps occur in latent space:
-1. Random noise is generated at the chosen height and width. The noise’s characteristics are dictated by  seed. This noise tensor is passed into latent space. We’ll call this noise A.
-2. Using a model’s U-Net, a noise predictor examines noise A, and the words tokenized by CLIP from your prompt (conditioning). It generates its own noise tensor to predict what the final image might look like in latent space. We’ll call this noise B.
-3. Noise B is subtracted from noise A in an attempt to create a latent image consistent with the prompt. This step is repeated for the number of sampler steps chosen.
-4. The VAE decodes the final latent image from latent space into image space.
-
-Image-to-image is a similar process, with only step 1 being different:
-1. The input image is encoded from image space into latent space by the VAE. Noise is then added to the input latent image. Denoising Strength dictates how may noise steps are added, and the amount of noise added at each step. A Denoising Strength of 0 means there are 0 steps and no noise added, resulting in an unchanged image, while a Denoising Strength of 1 results in the image being completely replaced with noise and a full set of denoising steps are performance. The process is then the same as steps 2-4 in the text-to-image process. 
-
-Furthermore, a model provides the CLIP prompt tokenizer, the VAE, and a U-Net (where noise prediction occurs given a prompt and initial noise tensor).
-
-A noise scheduler (eg. DPM++ 2M Karras) schedules the subtraction of noise from the latent image across the sampler steps chosen (step 3 above). Less noise is usually subtracted at higher sampler steps.

+## :octicons-log-16: Important Changes Since Version 2.3
+
+### Nodes
+
+Behind the scenes, InvokeAI has been completely rewritten to support
+"nodes," small unitary operations that can be combined into graphs to
+form arbitrary workflows. For example, there is a prompt node that
+processes the prompt string and feeds it to a text2latent node that
+generates a latent image. The latents are then fed to a latent2image
+node that translates the latent image into a PNG.
+
+The WebGUI has a node editor that allows you to graphically design and
+execute custom node graphs. The ability to save and load graphs is
+still a work in progress, but coming soon.
+
+### Command-Line Interface Retired
+
+The original "invokeai" command-line interface has been retired. The
+`invokeai` command will now launch a new command-line client that can
+be used by developers to create and test nodes. It is not intended to
+be used for routine image generation or manipulation.
+
+To launch the Web GUI from the command-line, use the command
+`invokeai-web` rather than the traditional `invokeai --web`.
+
+### ControlNet
+
+This version of InvokeAI features ControlNet, a system that allows you
+to achieve exact poses for human and animal figures by providing a
+model to follow. Full details are found in [ControlNet](features/CONTROLNET.md)
+
+### New Schedulers
+
+The list of schedulers has been completely revamped and brought up to date:

-    InvokeAI uses a SQLite database. By running on `main`, you accept responsibility for your database. This
-    means making regular backups (especially before pulling) and/or fixing it yourself in the event that a
-    PR introduces a schema change.
-    
-    If you don't need persistent backend storage, you can use an ephemeral in-memory database by setting

 #### Build the Image
 
-Use the standard `docker compose build` command from within the `docker` directory.
+I provided a build script, which is located next to the Dockerfile in
+`docker/build.sh`. It can be executed from repository root like this:
 
-If using an AMD GPU:
-    a: set the `GPU_DRIVER=rocm` environment variable in `docker-compose.yml` and continue using `docker compose build` as usual, or
-    b: set `GPU_DRIVER=rocm` in the `.env` file and use the `build.sh` script, provided for convenience
+```bash
+./docker/build.sh
+```
+
+The build Script not only builds the container, but also creates the docker
+volume if not existing yet.
 
 #### Run the Container
 
-Use the standard `docker compose up` command, and generally the `docker compose` [CLI](https://docs.docker.com/compose/reference/) as usual.
+After the build process is done, you can run the container via the provided
+`docker/run.sh` script
 
-Once the container starts up (and configures the InvokeAI root directory if this is a new installation), you can access InvokeAI at [http://localhost:9090](http://localhost:9090)
+```bash
+./docker/run.sh
+```
 
-## Troubleshooting / FAQ
+When used without arguments, the container will start the webserver and provide
+you the link to open it. But if you want to use some other parameters you can
+also do so.

+## Running the container on your GPU
+
+If you have an Nvidia GPU, you can enable InvokeAI to run on the GPU by running
+the container with an extra environment variable to enable GPU usage and have
+the process run much faster:
+
+```bash
+GPU_FLAGS=all ./docker/run.sh
+```
+
+This passes the `--gpus all` to docker and uses the GPU.
+
+If you don't have a GPU (or your host is not yet setup to use it) you will see a
+message like this:
+
+`docker: Error response from daemon: could not select device driver "" with capabilities: [[gpu]].`
+
+You can use the full set of GPU combinations documented here:
+
+https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/resource_constraints/#gpu
+
+For example, use `GPU_FLAGS=device=GPU-3a23c669-1f69-c64e-cf85-44e9b07e7a2a` to
+choose a specific device identified by a UUID.

+    From here on you will find the the previous Docker-Docs, which will still
+    provide some usefull informations.
+
+## Usage (time to have fun)
+
+### Startup
+
+If you're on a **Linux container** the `invoke` script is **automatically
+started** and the output dir set to the Docker volume you created earlier.
+
+If you're **directly on macOS follow these startup instructions**. With the
+Conda environment activated (`conda activate ldm`), run the interactive
+interface that combines the functionality of the original scripts `txt2img` and
+`img2img`: Use the more accurate but VRAM-intensive full precision math because
+half-precision requires autocast and won't work. By default the images are saved
+in `outputs/img-samples/`.
+
+```Shell
+python3 scripts/invoke.py --full_precision
+```
+
+You'll get the script's prompt. You can see available options or quit.
+
+```Shell
+invoke> -h
+invoke> q
+```
+
+### Text to Image
+
+For quick (but bad) image results test with 5 steps (default 50) and 1 sample
+image. This will let you know that everything is set up correctly. Then increase
+steps to 100 or more for good (but slower) results. The prompt can be in quotes
+or not.
+
+```Shell
+invoke> The hulk fighting with sheldon cooper -s5 -n1
+invoke> "woman closeup highly detailed"  -s 150
+# Reuse previous seed and apply face restoration
+invoke> "woman closeup highly detailed"  --steps 150 --seed -1 -G 0.75
+```
+
+You'll need to experiment to see if face restoration is making it better or
+worse for your specific prompt.
+
+If you're on a container the output is set to the Docker volume. You can copy it
+wherever you want. You can download it from the Docker Desktop app, Volumes,
+my-vol, data. Or you can copy it from your Mac terminal. Keep in mind
+`docker cp` can't expand `*.png` so you'll need to specify the image file name.
+
+On your host Mac (you can use the name of any container that mounted the
+volume):
+
+```Shell
+docker cp dummy:/data/000001.928403745.png /Users/<your-user>/Pictures
+```
+
+### Image to Image
+
+You can also do text-guided image-to-image translation. For example, turning a
+sketch into a detailed drawing.
+
+`strength` is a value between 0.0 and 1.0 that controls the amount of noise that
+is added to the input image. Values that approach 1.0 allow for lots of
+variations but will also produce images that are not semantically consistent
+with the input. 0.0 preserves image exactly, 1.0 replaces it completely.
+
+Make sure your input image size dimensions are multiples of 64 e.g. 512x512.
+Otherwise you'll get `Error: product of dimension sizes > 2**31'`. If you still
+get the error
+[try a different size](https://support.apple.com/guide/preview/resize-rotate-or-flip-an-image-prvw2015/mac#:~:text=image's%20file%20size-,In%20the%20Preview%20app%20on%20your%20Mac%2C%20open%20the%20file,is%20shown%20at%20the%20bottom.)
+like 512x256.
+
+If you're on a Docker container, copy your input image into the Docker volume
+
+```Shell
+docker cp /Users/<your-user>/Pictures/sketch-mountains-input.jpg dummy:/data/
+```
+
+Try it out generating an image (or more). The `invoke` script needs absolute
+paths to find the image so don't use `~`.
+
+If you're on your Mac
+
+```Shell
+invoke> "A fantasy landscape, trending on artstation" -I /Users/<your-user>/Pictures/sketch-mountains-input.jpg --strength 0.75  --steps 100 -n4
+```
+
+If you're on a Linux container on your Mac
+
+```Shell
+invoke> "A fantasy landscape, trending on artstation" -I /data/sketch-mountains-input.jpg --strength 0.75  --steps 50 -n1
+```
+
+### Web Interface
+
+You can use the `invoke` script with a graphical web interface. Start the web
+server with:
+
+```Shell
+python3 scripts/invoke.py --full_precision --web
+```
+
+If it's running on your Mac point your Mac web browser to
+<http://127.0.0.1:9090>
+
+Press Control-C at the command line to stop the web server.
+
+### Notes
+
+Some text you can add at the end of the prompt to make it very pretty:
+
+```Shell
+cinematic photo, highly detailed, cinematic lighting, ultra-detailed, ultrarealistic, photorealism, Octane Rendering, cyberpunk lights, Hyper Detail, 8K, HD, Unreal Engine, V-Ray, full hd, cyberpunk, abstract, 3d octane render + 4k UHD + immense detail + dramatic lighting + well lit + black, purple, blue, pink, cerulean, teal, metallic colours, + fine details, ultra photoreal, photographic, concept art, cinematic composition, rule of thirds, mysterious, eerie, photorealism, breathtaking detailed, painting art deco pattern, by hsiao, ron cheng, john james audubon, bizarre compositions, exquisite detail, extremely moody lighting, painted by greg rutkowski makoto shinkai takashi takeuchi studio ghibli, akihiko yoshida
+```
+
+The original scripts should work as well.
+
+```Shell

-# Using the Workflow Editor
-
-The workflow editor is a blank canvas allowing for the use of individual functions and image transformations to control the image generation workflow. Nodes take in inputs on the left side of the node, and return an output on the right side of the node. A node graph is composed of multiple nodes that are connected together to create a workflow. Nodes' inputs and outputs are connected by dragging connectors from node to node. Inputs and outputs are color coded for ease of use.
-
-If you're not familiar with Diffusion, take a look at our [Diffusion Overview.](../help/diffusion.md) Understanding how diffusion works will enable you to more easily use the Workflow Editor and build workflows to suit your needs.
-
-## Features
-
-### Workflow Library
-The Workflow Library enables you to save workflows to the Invoke database, allowing you to easily creating, modify and share workflows as needed. 
-
-A curated set of workflows are provided by default - these are designed to help explain important nodes' usage in the Workflow Editor.
-
-![workflow_library](../assets/nodes/workflow_library.png)
-
-### Linear View
-The Workflow Editor allows you to create a UI for your workflow, to make it easier to iterate on your generations. 
-
-To add an input to the Linear UI, right click on the **input label** and select "Add to Linear View".
-
-The Linear UI View will also be part of the saved workflow, allowing you share workflows and enable other to use them, regardless of complexity. 
-
-![linearview](../assets/nodes/linearview.png)
-
-### Renaming Fields and Nodes
-Any node or input field can be renamed in the workflow editor. If the input field you have renamed has been added to the Linear View, the changed name will be reflected in the Linear View and the node. 
-
-### Managing Nodes
-
-* Ctrl+C to copy a node

-### Node Caching 
-
-Nodes have a "Use Cache" option in their footer. This allows for performance improvements by using the previously cached values during the workflow processing. 
-
-
-## Important Nodes & Concepts 
-
-There are several node grouping concepts that can be examined with a narrow focus. These (and other) groupings can be pieced together to make up functional graph setups, and are important to understanding how groups of nodes work together as part of a whole. Note that the screenshots below aren't examples of complete functioning node graphs (see Examples).
-
-### Noise
-
-An initial noise tensor is necessary for the latent diffusion process. As a result, the Denoising node requires a noise node input.  
-
-![groupsnoise](../assets/nodes/groupsnoise.png)
-
-### Text Prompt Conditioning
-
-Conditioning is necessary for the latent diffusion process, whether empty or not. As a result, the Denoising node requires positive and negative conditioning inputs. Conditioning is reliant on a CLIP text encoder provided by the Model Loader node.
-
-![groupsconditioning](../assets/nodes/groupsconditioning.png)
-
-### Image to Latents & VAE
-
-The ImageToLatents node takes in a pixel image and a VAE and outputs a latents. The LatentsToImage node does the opposite, taking in a latents and a VAE and outpus a pixel image. 
-
-![groupsimgvae](../assets/nodes/groupsimgvae.png)
-
-### Defined & Random Seeds
-
-It is common to want to use both the same seed (for continuity) and random seeds (for variety). To define a seed, simply enter it into the 'Seed' field on a noise node. Conversely, the RandomInt node generates a random integer between 'Low' and 'High', and can be used as input to the 'Seed' edge point on a noise node to randomize your seed.
-
-![groupsrandseed](../assets/nodes/groupsnoise.png)
-
-### ControlNet
-
-The ControlNet node outputs a Control, which can be provided as input to a Denoise Latents node. Depending on the type of ControlNet desired, ControlNet nodes usually require an image processor node, such as a Canny Processor or Depth Processor, which prepares an input image for use with ControlNet.
-
-![groupscontrol](../assets/nodes/groupscontrol.png)
-
-### LoRA
-
-The Lora Loader node lets you load a LoRA and pass it as output.A LoRA provides fine-tunes to the UNet and text encoder weights that augment the base model’s image and text vocabularies.
-
-![groupslora](../assets/nodes/groupslora.png)
-
-### Scaling
-
-Use the ImageScale, ScaleLatents, and Upscale nodes to upscale images and/or latent images. Upscaling is the process of enlarging an image and adding more detail. The chosen method differs across contexts. However, be aware that latents are already noisy and compressed at their original resolution; scaling an image could produce more detailed results.
-
-![groupsallscale](../assets/nodes/groupsallscale.png)
-
-### Iteration + Multiple Images as Input
-
-Iteration is a common concept in any processing, and means to repeat a process with given input. In nodes, you're able to use the Iterate node to iterate through collections usually gathered by the Collect node. The Iterate node has many potential uses, from processing a collection of images one after another, to varying seeds across multiple image generations and more. This screenshot demonstrates how to collect several images and use them in an image generation workflow.
-
-![groupsiterate](../assets/nodes/groupsiterate.png)
-
-### Batch / Multiple Image Generation + Random Seeds
-
-Batch or multiple image generation in the workflow editor is done using the RandomRange node. In this case, the 'Size' field represents the number of images to generate, meaning this example will generate 4 images. As RandomRange produces a collection of integers, we need to add the Iterate node to iterate through the collection. This noise can then be fed to the Denoise Latents node for it to iterate through the denoising process with the different seeds provided.

-# ComfyUI to InvokeAI
-
-If you're coming to InvokeAI from ComfyUI, welcome! You'll find things are similar but different - the good news is that you already know how things should work, and it's just a matter of wiring them up! 
-
-Some things to note: 
-
-- InvokeAI's nodes tend to be more granular than default nodes in Comfy. This means each node in Invoke will do a specific task and you might need to use multiple nodes to achieve the same result. The added granularity improves the control you have have over your workflows. 
-- InvokeAI's backend and ComfyUI's backend are very different which means Comfy workflows are not able to be imported into InvokeAI. However, we have created a [list of popular workflows](exampleWorkflows.md) for you to get started with Nodes in InvokeAI!

+## List of Nodes
 
+### FaceTools
 
---------------------------------
-### Adapters Linked Nodes
+**Description:** FaceTools is a collection of nodes created to manipulate faces as you would in Unified Canvas. It includes FaceMask, FaceOff, and FacePlace. FaceMask autodetects a face in the image using MediaPipe and creates a mask from it. FaceOff similarly detects a face, then takes the face off of the image by adding a square bounding box around it and cropping/scaling it. FacePlace puts the bounded face image from FaceOff back onto the original image. Using these nodes with other inpainting node(s), you can put new faces on existing things, put new things around existing faces, and work closer with a face as a bounded image. Additionally, you can supply X and Y offset values to scale/change the shape of the mask for finer control on FaceMask and FaceOff. See GitHub repository below for usage examples.
 
-**Description:** A set of nodes for linked adapters (ControlNet, IP-Adaptor & T2I-Adapter). This allows multiple adapters to be chained together without using a `collect` node which means it can be used inside an `iterate` node without any collecting on every iteration issues.
+**Node Link:** https://github.com/ymgenesis/FaceTools/
 
-- `ControlNet-Linked` - Collects ControlNet info to pass to other nodes.
-- `IP-Adapter-Linked` - Collects IP-Adapter info to pass to other nodes.
-- `T2I-Adapter-Linked` - Collects T2I-Adapter info to pass to other nodes.
+**FaceMask Output Examples**

-### Depth Map from Wavefront OBJ
-
-**Description:** Render depth maps from Wavefront .obj files (triangulated) using this simple 3D renderer utilizing numpy and matplotlib to compute and color the scene. There are simple parameters to change the FOV, camera position, and model orientation.
-
-To be imported, an .obj must use triangulated meshes, so make sure to enable that option if exporting from a 3D modeling program. This renderer makes each triangle a solid color based on its average depth, so it will cause anomalies if your .obj has large triangles. In Blender, the Remesh modifier can be helpful to subdivide a mesh into small pieces that work well given these limitations.

-
---------------------------------
-### Generative Grammar-Based Prompt Nodes
-
-**Description:** This set of 3 nodes generates prompts from simple user-defined grammar rules (loaded from custom files - examples provided below). The prompts are made by recursively expanding a special template string, replacing nonterminal "parts-of-speech" until no nonterminal terms remain in the string.
-
-This includes 3 Nodes:
-- *Lookup Table from File* - loads a YAML file "prompt" section (or of a whole folder of YAML's) into a JSON-ified dictionary (Lookups output)
-- *Lookups Entry from Prompt* - places a single entry in a new Lookups output under the specified heading
-- *Prompt from Lookup Table* - uses a Collection of Lookups as grammar rules from which to randomly generate prompts.
-

-### Image and Mask Composition Pack
-
-**Description:** This is a pack of nodes for composing masks and images, including a simple text mask creator and both image and latent offset nodes. The offsets wrap around, so these can be used in conjunction with the Seamless node to progressively generate centered on different parts of the seamless tiling.
-
-This includes 15 Nodes:
-
-- *Adjust Image Hue Plus* - Rotate the hue of an image in one of several different color spaces.
-- *Blend Latents/Noise (Masked)* - Use a mask to blend part of one latents tensor [including Noise outputs] into another. Can be used to "renoise" sections during a multi-stage [masked] denoising process.
-- *Enhance Image* - Boost or reduce color saturation, contrast, brightness, sharpness, or invert colors of any image at any stage with this simple wrapper for pillow [PIL]'s ImageEnhance module.
-- *Equivalent Achromatic Lightness* - Calculates image lightness accounting for Helmholtz-Kohlrausch effect based on a method described by High, Green, and Nussbaum (2023).
-- *Text to Mask (Clipseg)* - Input a prompt and an image to generate a mask representing areas of the image matched by the prompt.
-- *Text to Mask Advanced (Clipseg)* - Output up to four prompt masks combined with logical "and", logical "or", or as separate channels of an RGBA image.
-- *Image Layer Blend* - Perform a layered blend of two images using alpha compositing. Opacity of top layer is selectable, with optional mask and several different blend modes/color spaces.
-- *Image Compositor* - Take a subject from an image with a flat backdrop and layer it on another image using a chroma key or flood select background removal.
-- *Image Dilate or Erode* - Dilate or expand a mask (or any image!). This is equivalent to an expand/contract operation.
-- *Image Value Thresholds* - Clip an image to pure black/white beyond specified thresholds.
-- *Offset Latents* - Offset a latents tensor in the vertical and/or horizontal dimensions, wrapping it around.
-- *Offset Image* - Offset an image in the vertical and/or horizontal dimensions, wrapping it around.
-- *Rotate/Flip Image* - Rotate an image in degrees clockwise/counterclockwise about its center, optionally resizing the image boundaries to fit, or flipping it about the vertical and/or horizontal axes.
-- *Shadows/Highlights/Midtones* - Extract three masks (with adjustable hard or soft thresholds) representing shadows, midtones, and highlights regions of an image.
-- *Text Mask (simple 2D)* - create and position a white on black (or black on white) line of text using any font locally available to Invoke.

-### Match Histogram
-
-**Description:** An InvokeAI node to match a histogram from one image to another.  This is a bit like the `color correct` node in the main InvokeAI but this works in the YCbCr colourspace and can handle images of different sizes. Also does not require a mask input.
-- Option to only transfer luminance channel.
-- Option to save output as grayscale
-
-A good use case for this node is to normalize the colors of an image that has been through the tiled scaling workflow of my XYGrid Nodes.

-### Nightmare Promptgen
-
-**Description:** Nightmare Prompt Generator - Uses a local text generation model to create unique imaginative (but usually nightmarish) prompts for InvokeAI. By default, it allows you to choose from some gpt-neo models I finetuned on over 2500 of my own InvokeAI prompts in Compel format, but you're able to add your own, as well. Offers support for replacing any troublesome words with a random choice from list you can also define.

-### Oobabooga
-
-**Description:** asks a local LLM running in Oobabooga's Text-Generation-Webui to write a prompt based on the user input.
-
-**Link:** https://github.com/sammyf/oobabooga-node
-
-**Example:**
-
-"describe a new mystical  creature in its natural environment"
-
-*can return*
-
-"The mystical creature I am describing to you is called the "Glimmerwing". It is a majestic, iridescent being that inhabits the depths of the most enchanted forests and glimmering lakes. Its body is covered in shimmering scales that reflect every color of the rainbow, and it has delicate, translucent wings that sparkle like diamonds in the sunlight. The Glimmerwing's home is a crystal-clear lake, surrounded by towering trees with leaves that shimmer like jewels. In this serene environment, the Glimmerwing spends its days swimming gracefully through the water, chasing schools of glittering fish and playing with the gentle ripples of the lake's surface.
-As the sun sets, the Glimmerwing perches on a branch of one of the trees, spreading its wings to catch the last rays of light. The creature's scales glow softly, casting a rainbow of colors across the forest floor. The Glimmerwing sings a haunting melody, its voice echoing through the stillness of the night air. Its song is said to have the power to heal the sick and bring peace to troubled souls. Those who are lucky enough to hear the Glimmerwing's song are forever changed by its beauty and grace."

-### Size Stepper Nodes
-
-**Description:** This is a set of nodes for calculating the necessary size increments for doing upscaling workflows. Use the *Final Size & Orientation* node to enter your full size dimensions and orientation (portrait/landscape/random), then plug that and your initial generation dimensions into the *Ideal Size Stepper* and get 1, 2, or 3 intermediate pairs of dimensions for upscaling. Note this does not output the initial size or full size dimensions: the 1, 2, or 3 outputs of this node are only the intermediate sizes.
-
-A third node is included, *Random Switch (Integers)*, which is just a generic version of Final Size with no orientation selection.

-# Face Nodes
-
-## FaceOff
-
-FaceOff mimics a user finding a face in an image and resizing the bounding box
-around the head in Canvas.
-
-Enter a face ID (found with FaceIdentifier) to choose which face to mask.
-
-Just as you would add more context inside the bounding box by making it larger
-in Canvas, the node gives you a padding input (in pixels) which will
-simultaneously add more context, and increase the resolution of the bounding box
-so the face remains the same size inside it.
-
-The "Minimum Confidence" input defaults to 0.5 (50%), and represents a pass/fail
-threshold a detected face must reach for it to be processed. Lowering this value
-may help if detection is failing. If the detected masks are imperfect and stray
-too far outside/inside of faces, the node gives you X & Y offsets to shrink/grow
-the masks by a multiplier.
-
-FaceOff will output the face in a bounded image, taking the face off of the
-original image for input into any node that accepts image inputs. The node also
-outputs a face mask with the dimensions of the bounded image. The X & Y outputs
-are for connecting to the X & Y inputs of the Paste Image node, which will place
-the bounded image back on the original image using these coordinates.

-## FaceMask
-
-FaceMask mimics a user drawing masks on faces in an image in Canvas.
-
-The "Face IDs" input allows the user to select specific faces to be masked.
-Leave empty to detect and mask all faces, or a comma-separated list for a
-specific combination of faces (ex: `1,2,4`). A single integer will detect and
-mask that specific face. Find face IDs with the FaceIdentifier node.
-
-The "Minimum Confidence" input defaults to 0.5 (50%), and represents a pass/fail
-threshold a detected face must reach for it to be processed. Lowering this value
-may help if detection is failing.
-
-If the detected masks are imperfect and stray too far outside/inside of faces,
-the node gives you X & Y offsets to shrink/grow the masks by a multiplier. All
-masks shrink/grow together by the X & Y offset values.
-
-By default, masks are created to change faces. When masks are inverted, they
-change surrounding areas, protecting faces.

-## FaceIdentifier
-
-FaceIdentifier outputs an image with detected face IDs printed in white numbers
-onto each face.
-
-Face IDs can then be used in FaceMask and FaceOff to selectively mask all, a
-specific combination, or single faces.
-
-The FaceIdentifier output image is generated for user reference, and isn't meant
-to be passed on to other image-processing nodes.
-
-The "Minimum Confidence" input defaults to 0.5 (50%), and represents a pass/fail
-threshold a detected face must reach for it to be processed. Lowering this value
-may help if detection is failing. If an image is changed in the slightest, run
-it through FaceIdentifier again to get updated FaceIDs.

-## Tips
-
-- If not all target faces are being detected, activate Chunk to bypass full
-  image face detection and greatly improve detection success.
-- Final results will vary between full-image detection and chunking for faces
-  that are detectable by both due to the nature of the process. Try either to
-  your taste.
-- Be sure Minimum Confidence is set the same when using FaceIdentifier with
-  FaceOff/FaceMask.
-- For FaceOff, use the color correction node before faceplace to correct edges
-  being noticeable in the final image (see example screenshot).
-- Non-inpainting models may struggle to paint/generate correctly around faces.
-- If your face won't change the way you want it to no matter what you change,
-  consider that the change you're trying to make is too much at that resolution.
-  For example, if an image is only 512x768 total, the face might only be 128x128
-  or 256x256, much smaller than the 512x512 your SD1.5 model was probably
-  trained on. Try increasing the resolution of the image by upscaling or
-  resizing, add padding to increase the bounding box's resolution, or use an
-  image where the face takes up more pixels.
-- If the resulting face seems out of place pasted back on the original image
-  (ie. too large, not proportional), add more padding on the FaceOff node to
-  give inpainting more context. Context and good prompting are important to
-  keeping things proportional.
-- If you find the mask is too big/small and going too far outside/inside the
-  area you want to affect, adjust the x & y offsets to shrink/grow the mask area
-- Use a higher denoise start value to resemble aspects of the original face or
-  surroundings. Denoise start = 0 & denoise end = 1 will make something new,
-  while denoise start = 0.50 & denoise end = 1 will be 50% old and 50% new.
-- mediapipe isn't good at detecting faces with lots of face paint, hair covering
-  the face, etc. Anything that obstructs the face will likely result in no faces
-  being detected.
-- If you find your face isn't being detected, try lowering the minimum
-  confidence value from 0.5. This could result in false positives, however
-  (random areas being detected as faces and masked).
-- After altering an image and wanting to process a different face in the newly
-  altered image, run the altered image through FaceIdentifier again to see the
-  new Face IDs. MediaPipe will most likely detect faces in a different order
-  after an image has been changed in the slightest.

+An Node is simply a single operation that takes in some inputs and gives
+out some outputs. We can then chain multiple nodes together to create more
 complex functionality. All InvokeAI features are added through nodes.
 
-### Anatomy of a Node
+This means nodes can be used to easily extend the image generation capabilities of InvokeAI, and allow you build workflows to suit your needs. 
 
-Individual nodes are made up of the following:
-
-- Inputs: Edge points on the left side of the node window where you connect outputs from other nodes.
-- Outputs: Edge points on the right side of the node window where you connect to inputs on other nodes.
-- Options: Various options which are either manually configured, or overridden by connecting an output from another node to the input.
