How to Use Ctrl-Adapter

Using Ctrl-Adapter’s pre-trained checkpoints is akin to using a starter pack for a new hobby. Imagine trying to bake a cake; you need the right ingredients mixed in the right proportions to achieve a delicious result. Similarly, here’s how you can get started:

1. Download the desired pre-trained checkpoint from the list above.
2. Load the checkpoint into your preferred image or video diffusion model.
3. Apply various spatial control techniques based on your project needs, whether that’s depth mapping, canny edges, or soft edges.
4. Run your model and tweak the parameters until you get your desired output.

Troubleshooting Tips

Should you encounter issues while using Ctrl-Adapter, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Ensure that you have the latest version of your diffusion model that supports Ctrl-Adapter frameworks.
• Check the compatibility of the pre-trained checkpoint with your model’s version.
• Experiment with different parameters if your outputs are not as expected. Sometimes a slight tweak can produce vastly different results.
• If you face performance issues, consider revising your system specifications or optimizing the code implementation.
