ControlNet: Control human pose in Stable Diffusion
ControlNet is a stable diffusion model that can copy compositions and human poses. Seasoned Stable Diffusion users know how hard it is to generate the exact pose you want. Everything is kind of… random… like diffusion. ControlNet solves this problem. It is powerful and versatile, allowing you to use it with any Stable Diffusion model.…
Instruct Pix2Pix: Edit and stylize photos with text
Instruct Pix2Pix is an Stable Diffusion model that edits images with user’s text instruction alone. We will go through how it works, what it can do, how to run it on web and AUTOMATIC1111, how to use it. What can Instruct pix2pix do? It’s an innovative way of editing photos just by telling it what…
How to use outpainting to extend images
Do you know Stable Diffusion can be used to extend an image in any directions? The function is called outpainting. It can generate coherent background that was originally out of frame. In this article, we will walk through how to do it step-by-step in AUTOMATIC1111 GUI. I will also introduce other excellent outpainting models as…
How does Stable Diffusion work?
Stable Diffusion is a deep-learning model. We will dig deep into understanding how Stable Diffusion work under the hood. Why do you need to know? Apart from being a fascinating subject in its own right, some understanding of the inner mechanics will make you a better artist. You can use the tool correctly to achieve…
Depth-to-image in Stable Diffusion 2: All you need to know
Depth-to-image (Depth2img) is an under-appreciated model in Stable Diffusion v2. It is an enhancement to image-to-image (img2img) which takes advantage of the depth information when generating new images. In this tutorial, we will look under the hood to see what it is, how to install and use it, and what it can do for you.…
