What is a sampling step in a stable division?

Sampling steps are the number of times the noise is

removed during the diffusion process when generating

an image.

In other words, the more steps you have,

the more the image will be gradually improved,

resulting in a more detailed and clear result.

Role of Sampling Steps

Stable diffusion starts with complete noise and gradually

transforms it into an image.

At this time, the more sampling steps there are,

the more precisely the noise is removed, and the more

details are preserved.

If the step is too low? -> Blurry image, lack of detail

If the step is too high? -> Slow rendering, little difference

General recommendations

Low (10-20)     -> When you need fast results

Normal (25-35) -> Balanced quality

High (50-70)    -> When you need high quality images

ultra high quality (100+) ->No need (normally 50+ makes little difference)

Stable diffusion can use a variety of samplers,

each with a different optimal number of steps.
