Configuring Model-Specific Parameters

After you've selected an AI model using the Model Selector in the Left Sidebar, the area directly below it will populate with parameter controls specific to that chosen model. These settings allow you to fine-tune how the AI behaves and what kind of output it produces.


Locating Model Parameters

  1. Ensure you are in the desired Editor Mode (Image, Asset, or Video).

  2. Use the Model Selector in the Left Sidebar to choose your AI model.

  3. The parameter controls for the selected model will appear immediately below the Model Selector in the same Left Sidebar.

Understanding the Controls

The types of parameters and controls will vary significantly depending on the selected model's capabilities. Common UI elements you'll encounter include:

  • Text Input / Text Areas (AutoGrowingTextarea):

    • For Prompts and Negative Prompts.

    • May also be used for other text-based inputs some models require.

  • Range Sliders / Number Inputs (RangeControl):

    • For numerical parameters like Steps, Guidance, Seed, Video Duration, Scale, Creativity, Resemblance, etc.

    • These often have defined minimum, maximum, and step values.

    • Many include a brief description of what the parameter controls.

  • Dropdown Selects (Select):

    • For choosing from a list of predefined options, such as Style Type (e.g., Realistic, Anime) or model Checkpoint (e.g., Juggernaut, Epic Realism for some upscalers).

  • Switches (Switch):

    • For boolean (On/Off, Yes/No) settings, like "Destroy Fill Area Behind Mask" or "Hand Fix".


Key Parameter Concepts

While each model has unique settings, some general concepts apply:

  • Prompt & Negative Prompt: Your primary textual instructions to the AI.

  • Seed: Controls randomness for reproducibility. (See Seeds)

  • Guidance/Strength/Adherence: Parameters that control how closely the AI follows your prompt or other inputs (like Control Layers or Reference Images).

  • Steps/Iterations: Often relates to processing time and output quality/detail.

  • Input-Specific Controls: Models designed for specific inputs (e.g., Edges maps, Depth maps, Reference Images) will have parameters to control how those inputs are used.

(Refer to the Core Concepts (AI & Editor Features) and the AI Models for detailed explanations of common and model-specific parameters.)


Restoring Default Parameters

If you've made many changes and want to revert to the model's standard settings:

  • Locate the "Restore default params" button (often a RotateCcw 🔄 icon) next to the Model selection dropdown (or sometimes within the parameter area).

  • Clicking this will reset all parameters for the currently selected model to their original default values.


Experimenting with these model-specific parameters is key to mastering Fater's AI capabilities and achieving your desired creative outcomes. Don't be afraid to try different settings and observe their effects.
