What's Changed

  • The plugin is now installed into GIMP automatically. No need to update the plugin paths is the GIMP options.
  • Added support for Stable Diffusion 3 through Fast SD3. See README for details.
  • Models for the NPU in the Intel® Core™ Ultra series processor are now compiled at model installation time, instead of using pre-compiled models. This adds some time to the installation step, but allows support of multiple generations of Intel® Core™ Ultra more effectively.
  • Added a new Model Manager UI for easier download and installation of Stable Diffusion Models.
  • Model Names have been updated in the Stable Diffusion UI to be more readable. They follow the format Name [Shape] [Precision]
    • Example: sd_1.5_square becomes Stable Diffusion 1.5 [Square] [FP16]
  • Stable Diffusion 1.5 LCM and Square FP16 now offloaded to the NPU for all Intel® Core™ Ultra Series processors. Ensure you have installed the latest NPU drivers for Windows or Linux
  • Stable Diffusion 1.5 INT8 Quantized models now support 16 bit Activations for better quality results at full INT8 performance. Choose Stable Diffusion 1.5 [Square] [INT8A16] model to use this option.
  • Added support for creating multiple images in a row. The first image will follow the seed value given, and each following image will use a random seed.

Important notes if you are upgrading from a previous plugin release

  • Please remove the plugin path that you added in Edit > Preferences > Folders > Plug-ins menu, as this could cause issues at runtime.
  • Please redownload the models using the new model manager. There have been updates to the SD 1.5 FP16, INT8, and the new INT8A16 models which provide better performance across Intel hardware.

Known Issues

  • When using Stable Diffusion 1.5 [Square] [INT8A16] in "best performance" mode on Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 2 processors, you may get a poorly generated image. A future release of the Graphics Driver will address this issue. The workaround is to use "Balanced" or "Best Power Efficiency" for this specific model.
  • Ensure to use GIMP 2.99.14 or 2.99.16 releases. Do not use 2.99.18, as there is a bug which causes the UI to flash and results in a poor user experience.
