- Textual Inversion for new token embeddings to represent unique concepts
10.1 Practical LoRA workflow sketch
# minimal conceptual steps
# 1) prepare dataset of style images with captions
# 2) attach LoRA adapters to UNet or text encoder
# 3) train adapters for few epochs with low learning rate
# 4) save adapter and load during inference with prompt token for style
11. High resolution generation and upscaling

- Two stage: generate base image then apply diffusion-based upscaler
- Tile based generation with overlap and seam blending for very large canvases
- Perceptual upscalers like Real-ESRGAN рдпрд╛ diffusion upscalers for best fidelity
11.1 Tile generation outline
# tile based approach outline
# 1) split canvas into overlapping tiles
# 2) generate each tile with consistent prompt and seed schedule
# 3) blend overlaps using feathered alpha and color match
# 4) final global color correction

from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont
img = Image.open("generated.png")
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(img)
font = ImageFont.truetype("OpenSans-Bold.ttf", 120)
draw.text((100,100), "EVENT TITLE", font=font, fill=(255,255,255))

14.1 Example job queue sketch
# conceptual components
# - producer: creates job with prompt and metadata
# - queue: stores jobs (e.g., Redis, SQS)
# - workers: pop jobs and run rendering on GPU nodes
# - result store: save image and metadata to object storage
15. Safety, bias рдФрд░ copyright considerations
Production рдореЗрдВ safety layers implement рдХрд░реЗрдВ. checks:
- NSFW detectors рдФрд░ profanity filters
- Artist style policy: avoid prompts that request direct imitation of living artists when restricted
- Remove or redact PII in any user provided images or text
- Log and human review flagged outputs before public release
16. Cost optimization strategies
- Use lightweight student models for previews and large models for final renders
- Cache commonly requested prompts and seeds
- Use asynchronous workers and batch inference
- Quantize models and use mixed precision for inference
17. Monitoring рдФрд░ observability
Track metrics: job latency, failure rates, GPU utilization, flag rates рдФрд░ user satisfaction. maintain logs for prompts, retrieved ControlNet inputs рдФрд░ post processing steps.
18. Troubleshooting рд╕рд╛рдорд╛рдиреНрдп рд╕рдорд╕реНрдпрд╛рдПрдБ
- Out of memory: reduce batch size, use fp16, or offload to CPU
- Poor composition: improve prompt with composition hints рдФрд░ ControlNet layout
- Artifacts: increase steps, tune guidance, use negative prompts
- Seams in tiled images: increase overlap and improve blending
