Stable Diffusion Image Editor! Use a sketch or photo to guide your prompt in Dream Studio
TLDRScott Detwiler introduces a new feature from Stable Diffusion for the Dream Studio beta, a web-based application for AI art generation. The new editor allows users to either start with a sketch or upload an existing image to use as a point of departure. Users can then modify the image using keywords, either slightly or significantly, with the ability to adjust the 'image strength' to control the influence of the uploaded image on the final result. The feature is particularly useful for generating variations on images that users already like, offering a creative tool for photographers and artists to refine their work. Detwiler demonstrates the process, highlighting the potential for minor adjustments or significant transformations, and expresses excitement for the rapid developments in the field.
Takeaways
- 🎨 Stable Diffusion has introduced a new web-based image editor for Dream Studio beta, which is currently a paid service but with pricing updates in progress.
- 🖼️ The editor allows users to start with a sketch or upload an existing image to use as a starting point for AI art generation.
- 📈 Users can modify the generated images by adjusting the height and width, although the AI is trained on a 512x512 model which may result in repeating elements.
- 🔄 The initial functionality of the editor is limited to uploading images, with the promise of more features to come.
- 🔍 The 'image strength' setting determines how much the uploaded image influences the final output based on the user's keywords.

Q & A
What is the main announcement from Stable Diffusion for Dream Studio beta?
-The main announcement is the introduction of a web-based application for AI art generation, which allows users to start with a sketch or upload an existing image to use as a point of departure for creating new images with the help of keywords.
What is the current status of the Stable Diffusion Image Editor?
-As of the transcript, the Stable Diffusion Image Editor is in its beta phase and primarily allows users to upload images. It does not yet have editing functionalities but is expected to have more features in the future.
What are the two main functionalities of the new editor mentioned in the transcript?
-The two main functionalities are starting with a sketch to guide the AI in generating an image, and uploading an existing image to use as a base, which can then be modified using keywords.
How does the image strength feature work in the editor?
-Image strength determines how much influence the uploaded image has on the final generated image in relation to the keyword prompt. A higher image strength means the uploaded image will have a more significant impact on the outcome.
What is the purpose of using an existing image as a point of departure in the editor?
-Using an existing image allows users to generate variations of an image they already like, making slight or significant modifications based on their preferences, which can later be further edited in a program like Photoshop.
What is the current pricing model for the Dream Studio beta service?
-The service is paid, but the transcript mentions that it is inexpensive and that the company is working on the pricing, suggesting that it may change in the future.
Why might an AI-generated image have repeating elements, such as two heads?
-This can happen because the AI is trained on a 512 by 512 model, which means it may attempt to draw two 512-pixel pictures on top of each other, resulting in repeating elements.
What does Scott Detwiler suggest doing with images that have repeating heads?
-Scott suggests saving those images, especially if they have a good body and scene but the face is not as desired, as they can be used in combination with other images in post-processing.
How does the Stable Diffusion Image Editor help photographers like Scott Detwiler?
-The editor can serve as a point of departure for photographers to get ideas for alterations on their imagery. They can then take these ideas back to a program like Photoshop to finalize their work.
What is the process for generating images using the Stable Diffusion Image Editor?
-Users input a prompt, adjust the height and width of the desired image, and then run the 'Dream' function to generate images. They can then upload an existing image and set the image strength before generating more images based on that input.
What are some limitations of using the Stable Diffusion Image Editor with non-AI generated images, like a hand-drawn sketch?
-There is no guarantee that the AI will interpret straight lines from a hand-drawn sketch as specific objects, like walls, unless the scene is well described in the prompt. However, it can still be a fun tool to experiment with.
Outlines
🎨 Introduction to Dream Studio Beta's AI Art Generation
Scott Detwiler introduces a new feature from stable diffusion called Dream Studio Beta, which is a web-based application for AI art generation. The feature includes an editor that currently allows users to start with a sketch or upload an existing image to use as a point of departure. Users can then modify the image using keywords, either slightly or significantly. The service is in beta and currently a paid service with pricing still being worked out. Scott demonstrates how to use the editor to modify image dimensions and generate images based on a prompt, and discusses the potential for generating images with repeating elements due to the model's training on a 512 by 512 grid.
