 #### Steps parameter
 
-The number of scheduler steps to run.
+The number of scheduler steps to run. Using more steps often results in an image with more details, but also takes
+longer to run. The Euler Ancestral scheduler can usually produce decent results in 30-45 steps, while some of the
+others need 80-100 or more. Inpainting may need more steps, up to 120 or 150 in some cases.

-The random seed.
+The seed value used for the random number generators.

+Using -1 will generate a new seed on the server for each image.
