Stable Diffusion 3 Image To Image: Supercharged Image Editing
TLDRThis video explores the innovative capabilities of Stability AI's Stable Diffusion 3, particularly focusing on the new image-to-image feature. Unlike the standard text-to-image process, this feature allows users to modify an existing image by using text prompts, significantly enhancing the creative possibilities. The presenter, through various examples, demonstrates how the feature can alter images subtly or drastically, including changing expressions, swapping elements, and adding complex elements like scenery changes. The walkthrough highlights the tool's potential for both fun experimentation and practical applications in image editing.
Takeaways
- 🚀 Stable Diffusion 3 by Stability AI includes two models: one for text-to-image generation and another for image-to-image editing.
- 🖼️ Image-to-image editing allows users to modify existing images using a text prompt along with a source image.
- 📚 The process involves conditioning the image using both the text prompt and the input image to generate a new, edited image.

Q & A
What are the two separate models or API endpoints launched by Stability AI with Stable Diffusion 3?
-Stability AI launched two separate models with Stable Diffusion 3: one for text-to-image generation using a text prompt, and the other for image-to-image editing which also utilizes a source image along with a text prompt.
How does the image-to-image model differ from the text-to-image model in Stable Diffusion 3?
-The image-to-image model differs from the text-to-image model by incorporating a source image in addition to a text prompt. This allows the model to apply changes or transformations based on both the text and the content of the input image.
What is the name of the website used to test the image-to-image feature of Stable Diffusion 3?
-The website used to test the image-to-image feature is called Pixel Doo, which is a project created by the speaker.
What are some of the capabilities of Pixel Doo other than accessing Stable Diffusion 3 and image-to-image?
-Pixel Doo allows users to upscale and enhance photos, create different poses for people using consistent characters, perform style transfer, and access various diffusion models.
How does the image-to-image model handle requests to remove elements from an image?
-The image-to-image model attempts to modify the source image based on the text prompt. However, it may not always perform removals as expected; for example, when asked to create an image of a tortoise without a shell, the model did not remove the shell but still generated an image that was influenced by the original.
What is the process for generating an image using the image-to-image feature on Pixel Doo?
-To generate an image, you start by selecting a source image and choosing 'Stable Diffusion 3' from the dropdown menu. Then, you add a text prompt describing the desired changes or additions to the image and click 'Generate' to create the modified image.
How does the image-to-image model handle complex changes such as changing a person's expression from smiling to frowning?
-The model can infer and apply changes in expressions to some extent. In the example given, the model managed to create an image of a red-haired girl frowning, showing the ability to interpret and apply changes in facial expressions based on the text prompt.
What are the limitations observed when using the image-to-image model to introduce inanimate objects into a scene where they wouldn't typically belong?
-The model tends to avoid introducing completely unrelated objects into a scene. For instance, it did not insert cell phones or a computer into a dinner scene, even when explicitly prompted, suggesting a level of inherent logic or plausibility in the image generation process.
How does the image-to-image model handle requests to change fundamental aspects of an image, such as swapping a television head for a pumpkin head?
-The model can handle such requests quite well, as demonstrated by the example where it successfully replaced a television head with a pumpkin head while maintaining the overall style and aesthetic of the original image.
What is the cost associated with using the Stable Diffusion 3 and image-to-image models via the Stability AI API?
-To use the models via Stability AI's API, there is a minimum charge of $10 for API credits. Users can then either use a provided user interface or build their own system to utilize the API.
How does the subscription to Pixel Doo compare to using the Stability AI API?
-Pixel Doo offers a subscription service at $99.5 a month, which gives users access to create images using Stable Diffusion 3, image-to-image, and other included models and upscalers without the need to purchase API credits from Stability AI.
What is the future outlook of image editing as suggested by the capabilities of Stable Diffusion 3's image-to-image model?
-The future of image editing is suggested to involve more direct manipulation of images using text prompts, allowing for creative steering of the image generation process, although it is noted that the level of control is not yet as refined as might be desired for professional creative work.
Outlines
🖼️ Introduction to Stable Diffusion 3's Image-to-Image Feature
This paragraph introduces the dual functionality of Stability AI's Stable Diffusion 3 launch, highlighting two distinct models: text-to-image and image-to-image. The latter is the focus, where an input image is modified based on a text prompt, a process known as conditioning. The speaker guides listeners through a demonstration on pixel doo, a platform for experimenting with diffusion models, to illustrate how image-to-image works. They generate images by altering the original subjects, such as a tortoise holding bananas and a woman changing her facial expression, showcasing the potential for creative image editing.
📚 Exploring Image-to-Image Modifications and Limitations
The second paragraph delves deeper into experimenting with the image-to-image feature. It explores the modification of existing images by changing elements within them, such as replacing a man's television head with a pumpkin head and superimposing text on a subject's shirt. The speaker also tests the limits of the model by attempting to introduce unrelated objects into the images, like cell phones or computers as dinner items, which the model resists. The paragraph emphasizes the model's proficiency in text generation and its ability to maintain the original image's aesthetic while introducing new concepts.
💡 The Future of Image Editing with Stable Diffusion 3
The final paragraph discusses the potential future of image editing with tools like Stable Diffusion 3, suggesting that the ability to guide images using text prompts is a significant advancement.
