Self-Attention Guidance: Improve image background

Self-attention Guidance (SAG) enhances details in an image while preserving the overall composition. It is useful for fixing nonsensical details that give the AI image away. In the example below, it fixes the man’s bow tie and modifies other details in the background. Here’s the video version of this article. Table of ContentsSoftwareHow does SAG…

How to create consistent character from different viewing angles

Do you ever need to create consistent AI characters from different viewing angles? The method in this article makes a grid of the same character like the one below. You can use them for downstream artwork that requires the same character in multiple images. Here’s the video version of this tutorial for AUTOMATIC1111. Video tutorial…

How to create images with AI hidden words

Can you see something hidden in the images below? Squint your eye until you see it! Stable Diffusion AI is particularly suited for generating seemingly innocent images with hidden words. The best tools to generate this kind of image are ControlNet and ADetailer. The image itself is controlled by the text prompt. It is infinitely…

Stable Diffusion 3: A comparison with SDXL and Stable Cascade

Stable Diffusion 3 is the latest and largest image Stable Diffusion model. It promises to outperform previous models like Stable Cascade and Stable Diffusion XL in text generation and prompt following. In this post, I will compare the Stable Diffusion 3 model with the Stable Cascade and XL model from a user’s perspective. The following…

How to create a half-color image

This workflow generates a half-color half-black-and-white image in Stable Diffusion in AUTOMATIC1111. The prompt on each side can be independently controlled. This split-color technique is ideal for contrasting the left and right-hand sides of the image to create a strong visual effect. In this workflow tutorial, you will find a detailed step-by-step guide to creating…
