Version v4.2.8

v4.2.8 brings Prompt Templates to Invoke, new schedulers and a number of minor fixes and enhancements.

Prompt Templates

Prompt templates are often used for commonly-used style keywords, letting you focus on subject and composition in your prompts - but you can use them in other creative ways.

Thanks to @maryhipp for implementing Prompt Templates!

Creating a Prompt Template

Create a prompt template from an existing image generated with Invoke. We’ll add the positive and negative prompts from the image’s metadata as the template, and the image will be used as a cover image for the template.

You can also create a prompt template from scratch, uploading a cover image.

How it Works

Add a positive and/or negative prompt to your template. Use the {prompt} placeholder in the template to indicate where your prompt should be inserted into the template:

  • Template: highly detailed photo of {prompt}, award-winning, nikon dslr
  • Prompt: a super cute fennec fox cub
  • Result: highly detailed photo of a super cute fennec fox cub, award-winning, nikon dslr

If you omit the placeholder, the template will be appended to the end of your prompt:

  • Template: turtles
  • Prompt: i like
  • Result: i like turtles

Default Prompt Templates

We’re shipping a number of templates with the app, many of which were contributed by community members (thanks y’all!). We’ll update these as we continue developing Invoke with improvements and new templates.

Import and Export

You can import templates from other SD apps. We support CSV and JSON files with these columns/keys:

  • name
  • prompt or positive_prompt
  • negative_prompt

Export your prompt templates to share with others. When you export prompt templates, only your own templates are exported.

Preview and Flatten

Use the Preview button to see the prompt that will be used for generation. Flatten the prompt template to bake it into your prompts.

Compatible with Dynamic Prompts

You can use dynamic prompt in prompt templates, and they will work with dynamic prompts in your positive prompt box.
