This is a masking approach I've never tried before, so I thought I'd share it with the community. I happened to generate a beautiful face portrait that didn't have the clothing I was hoping for. Instead of evolving the masked region with the same SD algorithm like I typically do, I masked only the area below the neck and decided to apply SD 2.1 without CLIP guidance.
On a side note, masking has never worked for me with CLIP guidance enabled. You can check out the starter prompt and a base single-output test run in the links below.
