Datasets

Training a LoRA takes three steps, found in the “Training” space at the top:

Step Description
Datasets Manage the folders of training images
Tagging Write tags and descriptions for each image; see Tagging
Train Choose a base model and settings and start training; see Training LoRA

“Datasets” shows each dataset as a card with:

  • The number of images, and how many are tagged
  • The trigger word and repeats per image
  • The most recent training
  • Notes

Click a card to open it in “Tagging”.

  • Press “+ Add dataset” and choose the folder with your training images (you can also create a new folder in the folder window).
  • Pressing “×” on a card twice removes it from the list. This only removes it from the list; the files in the folder are not deleted.

Select the images to train on in the library and press “Add to dataset” in the action bar:

  1. Choose a dataset from the list, or enter a folder path directly (it’s created if it doesn’t exist), or press “Browse…”.
  2. Press “Copy N”.

The images are copied into the dataset folder; the originals don’t move. Afterwards, “Go to tagging” takes you straight to tagging.

In the left panel of “Tagging”:

Item Description
Repeats per image How many times each image is repeated in training. Shared with the training page; changing it on either side updates both
Notes Purpose, source, versions trained and so on
Trigger word Added to the front of every image’s tags; see Tagging

While reviewing, “Set as cover” changes the dataset card’s cover (the first image by default).

The bottom of the “Tagging” left panel lists this dataset’s training history: name, file name, base model, date and epochs; trainings stopped early are recorded too. “Use these settings” brings that run’s full settings to the training page to train again.
