What is denoising strength?
Denoising strength: A setting in image-to-image generation that decides how much noise is added to the input picture before denoising. Low strength keeps the original almost unchanged; high strength lets the model change it substantially, approaching generation from scratch.
Denoising strength: an example
At strength 0.3 a portrait keeps its face and only gets a new texture, while at 0.9 only the rough colour layout survives.
