The StableDiffusion 1.5 package offers various samplers. Here you can find a list of samplers that is included in the initial install of SD 1.5. If you haven’t set up the StableDiffusion and ControlNet on Windows 11, then you can find a step by step guide in my other articles. Now I assume you have setup everything, and is able to see the same list of samplers as below.

The default sampler is “Euler a”, and the rest of them are: Euler, LMS, Heun, DPM2, DPM2 a, DPM++ 2S a, DPM++ 2M, DPM++ SDE, DPM fast, DPM adaptive, LMS Karras, DPM2 Karras, DPM2 a Karras, DPM++ 2S a Karras, DPM++ 2M Karras, DPM++ SDE Karras, DDIM, PLMS.

The question now becomes which one are better suited for the ControlNet and SD 1.5 usage. In this article, we will test them all, with fixed random seed, fixed pose, and fixed prompt (positive, and negative prompting).
