A dye-garden desk renders the same pigment card at several denoising-step counts. Smear fades, then further steps barely change the card. What should the quality experiment conclude about step count?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Like turning up an oven: past a point the cake does not get better, it just costs more time. Watch for the plateau in visual quality instead of assuming endless steps always help.
Full Explanation
Denoising-step count is a valid experimental factor. Quality often improves then plateaus, so associates look for diminishing returns rather than unbounded increases. CUDA occupancy and RAPIDS joins are the wrong stack for this image-quality trial.
