Unable to Get BLIP Captioning to Work

[poondoggle]

Hi All,

I am new to kohya_ss and set it up without issue. The issue I am running into now is I am unable to perform BLIP captioning on my test images. I have it configured as follows:

This is the error from the command line.

Captioning files in D:/AI/lora_training_images/natalieportman/image/150_natalieportman...
./venv/Scripts/python.exe "finetune/make_captions.py" --batch_size="8" --num_beams="10" --top_p="0.9" --max_length="75" --min_length="22" --beam_search --caption_extension=".txt" "D:/AI/lora_training_images/natalieportman/image/150_natalieportman" --caption_weights="https://storage.googleapis.com/sfr-vision-language-research/BLIP/models/model_large_caption.pth"
'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

I also had this problem and install the Required Dependencies seems solved it.

Install Python 3.10
make sure to tick the box to add Python to the 'PATH' environment variable
Install Git
Install Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022 redistributable
