and @neogunhero A few things that might help speed up image making:Eh, I think I'm done. I absolutely do not have the patience to wait for images to render. They just take too long.
1: Go to CivitAI and download a smaller version of Flux. They are available and will give you a good speed boost.
2: Set the image size to 512 x 512. It will generate images much faster and you can just take the finished images to the "extras" tab and have the AI make them as large as you want in just a few seconds.
3: Stick to one image at a time. Don't try to get more efficient by raising the batch or batch size. On my laptop, for instance, doing 1 picture takes about a minute. Doing 4 pictures takes half an hour.
4: In Forge always hit "popout" at the top of the screen. It works much better in a browser.
5: As soon as it opens in the browser, type "cat" in the prompt and hit the generate button. The first picture always takes the longest. While it is working on your cat, you can start composing your real prompt and change the image size to something very small. Once it is successfully working on your cat, you can cancel it out and start your real picture.
6: Leave CFG Scale at 1. Raising it can vastly increase the amount of time it takes
7: Or use CoPilot or the hugging face website. They are very fast.
