Stable Diffusion 3 Image To Image: Supercharged Image Editing
TLDRStable Diffusion 3 by Stability AI introduced two models: text-to-image and image-to-image editing. The latter allows users to modify existing images with text prompts, as demonstrated on pixeldoo, a platform for experimenting with diffusion models. Examples show the model's ability to add or change elements in images, offering a glimpse into the future of image editing with AI, though it's not without its quirks. Stability AI's API is available for a minimum charge, or users can opt for a subscription at pixeldoo to access these models.
Takeaways
- 🚀 Stability AI launched two models with Stable Diffusion 3: one for text-to-image generation and another for image-to-image editing.

- 🎃 The model can make significant changes, such as swapping a television head for a pumpkin head in an image, while maintaining the original style.
- 🍽️ It can also create entirely new concepts while keeping the original aesthetic, like changing a steak dinner to one featuring mushrooms or chicken.
- 📱 There are limitations in incorporating unrelated objects, as attempts to include inedible items like cell phones or computers in a dinner setting were not successful.
- 💰 Access to Stable Diffusion 3 and its image-to-image model is available via API with a minimum cost, or through a subscription service like pixel doo.
Q & A
What are the two models or API endpoints launched by Stability AI with Stable Diffusion 3?
-Stability AI launched two models with Stable Diffusion 3: one for text-to-image generation using a text prompt, and another called 'image to image' which uses both a text prompt and a source image for editing.
What is the main difference between text-to-image and image-to-image in Stable Diffusion 3?
-The main difference is that image-to-image not only uses a text prompt for conditioning but also incorporates a source image, allowing for editing and fine-tuning of the original image based on the text prompt.
Can you provide an example of how image-to-image works using Stable Diffusion 3?
-An example is generating an image of a tortoise holding bananas. You start with a source image of a tortoise and add the text prompt 'a tortoise holding bananas' to create a new image with the tortoise in the desired pose.
What website was used in the script to demonstrate the image-to-image feature of Stable Diffusion 3?
-The website used for demonstration is 'pixel doo', a project created by the speaker that allows users to experiment with various diffusion models and perform tasks like image upscaling and style transfer.
How does the image-to-image feature handle requests to remove elements from an image?
-The feature attempts to interpret the text prompt and modify the image accordingly. For example, when asked to generate 'a tortoise without a shell', the model did not remove the shell but kept the tortoise intact.
What is the significance of the 'Turbo' option in Stable Diffusion 3?
-The 'Turbo' option in Stable Diffusion 3 is a faster model that uses fewer inference steps. However, it sacrifices some quality compared to the standard Stable Diffusion 3 model.
Can Stable Diffusion 3 generate images with inanimate objects that are not typically eaten, like cell phones?
-Stable Diffusion 3 tends to avoid generating images with inanimate objects that are not typically eaten, even when prompted. It seems to prioritize creating coherent and realistic images over literal interpretation of prompts.
How does the image-to-image feature handle requests to change fundamental elements of an image, like swapping a television head for a pumpkin head?
-The feature can successfully swap out fundamental elements, as demonstrated by changing a man with a television for a head to a man with a pumpkin for a head, while maintaining the original image's style and aesthetic.
What are some of the limitations or challenges with the image-to-image feature in Stable Diffusion 3?
-While the feature is powerful, it does not always produce exact results as expected. It may not include all elements from the text prompt or may interpret the prompt in a way that leads to unexpected outcomes.
How can users access and use Stable Diffusion 3 and its image-to-image feature?
-Users can access Stable Diffusion 3 and its features through the API provided by Stability AI, which requires purchasing API credits. Alternatively, they can use platforms like 'pixel doo' that offer a subscription-based service to use the models.
Outlines
🖼️ Exploring Stable Diffusion 3's Image-to-Image Feature
The script introduces two models released by Stability AI upon launching Stable Diffusion 3: the standard text-to-image model and a less publicized image-to-image model. The latter allows users to modify existing images with a text prompt in addition to the source image. The narrator demonstrates this feature using the Pixel Doo platform, showcasing how images can be altered or enhanced with text prompts, such as changing a tortoise to hold bananas or altering a person's expression. The process is quick, and the results are often coherent with the text prompt, although not always exactly as expected. The technology's potential for future image editing is highlighted.
🛠️ Manipulating Images with Text Prompts in Stable Diffusion 3
This section delves deeper into the capabilities of Stable Diffusion 3's image-to-image feature. The narrator experiments with various prompts to modify images, such as changing the background of a man with a television head or swapping a steak dinner with a chicken dinner. The results are impressive, with the model maintaining the original aesthetic while introducing new elements. The script also touches on the limitations of the technology, such as its reluctance to incorporate inedible objects like cell phones into the image as part of a meal. The potential for creative exploration with this technology is emphasized, and the narrator suggests that it represents a significant step forward in image editing.
📈 Accessing Stable Diffusion 3 and Image-to-Image Services
The final paragraph discusses the availability of Stable Diffusion 3 and its image-to-image feature. It is mentioned that these models are accessible through an API provided by Stability AI, which requires a minimum purchase of API credits starting at $10. For those who prefer a more user-friendly interface, the narrator promotes Pixel Doo, a subscription-based service offering access to Stable Diffusion 3 and related models for a monthly fee. The script concludes with an invitation for viewers to share their experiences and creations, and a sign-off with a musical note.
