Fortunately for us, the Stable Diffusion community has solved that problem. Here\u2019s how to install a version of Stable Diffusion that runs locally with a graphical user interface!<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Stable_Diffusion\"><\/span>What Is Stable Diffusion?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Stable Diffusion is an AI model that can generate images from text prompts, or modify existing images with a text prompt, much like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/823337\/how-to-create-synthetic-ai-art-with-midjourney\/\">MidJourney or DALL-E 2. It was first released in August 2022 by <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stability.ai\/\">Stability.ai.<\/a> It understands thousands of different words and can be used to create almost any image your imagination can conjure up in almost any style.<\/p>\n<p>There are two critical differences that set Stable Diffusion apart from most of the other popular AI art generators, though:<\/p>\n<p>The last point is really the important issue here. Traditionally, Stable Diffusion is installed and run via a command-line interface. It works, but it can be clunky, unintuitive, and it is a significant barrier to entry for people that would otherwise be interested. But, since it is an open source project, the community quickly created a user interface for it and began adding their own augmentations, including optimizations to minimize video ram (VRAM) usage and build in upscaling and masking.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Do_You_Need_to_Run_This_Version_of_Stable_Diffusion\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">What Do You Need to Run This Version of Stable Diffusion?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/AUTOMATIC1111\/stable-diffusion-webui\">This version of Stable Diffusion<\/a> is a fork \u2014 an offshoot \u2014 of <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/CompVis\/stable-diffusion\">the main repository (repo) created and maintained by Stability.ai<\/a>.

Normally Stable Diffusion is used to create entire images from a prompt, but inpainting allows you selectively generate (or regenerate) parts of the image. There are two critical options here: inpaint masked, inpaint not masked.<\/p>\n<p>Inpaint masked will use the prompt to generate imagery within the area you highlight, whereas inpaint not masked will do the exact opposite \u2014 only the area you mask will be preserved.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll cover a bit about Inpaint masked first. Drag your mouse around on the image holding left click and you\u2019ll notice a white layer appearing over top of your image. Draw out the shape of the area you want to be replaced, and be sure to fill it in entirely. You aren\u2019t circling a region, you\u2019re masking in the entire region.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"admonishment_tip\"><p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> If you\u2019re just adding something to an existing picture, it can be helpful to try to make the masked region line up with the approximate shape you\u2019re trying to create. Masking a triangular shape when you want a circle, for example, is counter-productive.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Let\u2019s take our highland cow example and give him a chef\u2019s hat. Mask out a region in approximately the shape of a Chef\u2019s hat, and make sure to set \u201cBatch Size\u201d to more than 1. You\u2019ll probably need multiple to get an ideal(ish) result.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, you should select \u201cLatent Noise\u201d rather than \u201cFill,\u201d \u201cOriginal,\u201d or \u201cLatent Nothing.\u201d It tends to produce the best results when you want to generate a completely new object in a scene.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"admonishment_note\"><p><strong>Note:<\/strong> You\u2019ll note the left edge of the hat has deleted part of his horn. That happened because the \u201cMask Blur\u201d setting was a bit too high.
