I find the update to image generator sadly quite horrendous. The quality in aesthetics in all kind of different styles has dropped imensly. Faces often look totally weird. Their is no comparisson between the former and the new one in quality. Before it had this certain magical style that made it stand out. The aesthetics were brilliant. In some sense it was almost like an underground midjourney alternative. This is now gone. Maybe the new one can do text a little better. But you can use any other engine for that. The unique perchance style you don't get anywhere else. Please change it back! Or maybe offer both. But from an artistic point of view this is a catastrophy right now.

I have to say, the only benefit ive experienced from this update was now text renders better. But every other aspect is worse.

The worst seems to be the simple lack of clarifying news about the update. People on reddit are confused and wondering what is going on.

Just let us know if this is permanent and what the changes were so we can adjust, or let us know if we can relax and things will be fixed at some point.

The drastically reduced token count is ruining generators that use style mixing. We used to be make to make amazing unique images, now things seem to default to cartoons.

the style tags on many generators used to be able to mitigate the tendency for the images to skew toward cartoons, but they no longer seem to work.

Weights are totally broken, no more boosting terms to even things out or control the prompt better.

we can still make photo-real images but we can make complex scenes as we have to dedicate so much of the prompt to the quality/camera terms to make the image not be a cartoon. If weights worked we could try to boost a smaller amount of tokens and have more room for the actual prompt we want to achieve. The token count is so small it fights us every step.

So please, just give us some news about what your intentions are!

PLEASE!

    Perchance posted in this thread https://lemmy.world/post/42343571/21834076 that the issue with the cap on the length of prompts is unintentional and expected to be resolved soon along with (hopefully) the prompt weights.

    They also mentioned that in that thread the issue with negative prompts being ignored probably won't be fixed as quickly (but they are still working on it) and the “CFG burn” issues and related tendency to push stuff towards cartoon or anime won’t be solved immediately but are also being worked on.
