[Bug]: API - Denoising Strength *ALWAYS* in metadata

[altoiddealer]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues and checked the recent builds/commits

What happened?

Using the API, I am sending the following payload:

payload = {'prompt':'a cute dog']

The metadata for this image (and every image generated via the API) includes "Denoising Strength: 0".

Anytime I want to send an image from "PNG Info" tab to txt2img or to img2img, it enables HR Fix now by default and has to be toggled off.

I don't think Denoising Strength should be included in the metadata when HR fix is disabled.

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Generate an image via API
2. Every image will include Denoising Strength in the metadata, regardless of whether it is enabled or not.

What should have happened?

Denoising Strength should be excluded from the metadata by default

For now, you can add "denoising_strength": None to your payload, or use the dev branch with git switch dev

[altoiddealer]

Thanks! I’ll do that for now :)

I didn’t think to try denoising strength = None I did try = ‘’ but it didn’t do the trick

[altoiddealer]

Just replying to confirm that setting the key payload[‘denoising_strength’] = None did indeed to the trick
