Hope you enjoyed Part 1! Let us know in the comments what you want us to cover in future videos!

[@MakeTechPtyLtd]

looks great. Just using Canvas with infill right now. I thought I saw it was SD XL in Canvas mode but actually I can't see the model on this page [edit; I see SD XL when clicking on an image] . In any case, it works great. Sometimes when trying to generate an infill it does a new layer image instead. Dreambooth filters in in-painting would be cool, but maybe SDXL doesn't need it because of its 2 mode architecture? Id like to ise the dream both models in in-painting

[@MissChelle]

I would like to see a video just for us iPad users that don’t have a keyboard to use control shortcuts. Pretty please 😊 🇦🇺❤

[@kemikemi756]

Thanks !! Will stay tuned for moar

[@camo4012]

It's fantastic WHEN YOU IMPROVE THE GENERATIVE FILLING, ufffff BEING CRAZY VERY GOOD THE BEST TOOL, WHEN YOUR GENERATIVE FILLING IS LIKE THE ONE IN PHOTOSHOP BETA WITHOUT A DOUBT YOU WILL HAVE THE BEST WEB PAGE

[@PolycultureArt]

I would like to know the benefit of the generation frame covering the image you select for image to image. I dont want to copy over the old image I want to generate next to it. I'm sure there must be a reason for this UI behaviour, but I dont really get it..

[@vishalpisote1306]

This is completely Amazing. Playground seems to be the most sorted and simple AI. It saves time and efforts to generate images. Thank you for this amazing innovation.

[@playgroundai]

We're glad you are happy with it! More to come!

[@jordaanrob]

This is out of this world. Playground is truly amazing in every way.

[@playgroundai]

Glad to hear! Enjoy playground!

[@innalugo1363]

I love this tool, it is complete and at the same time simple, easy to use, it is incredible. The creators are geniuses and although I have tried others I always return to it. That's why I love her. Thank you

I don't know if I have ever written a comment on a KZbin tutorial or video in general, but I felt I needed to do so here. Your presentation style is wonderful and very informative. I really enjoyed learning more through this tutorial. Great tools, great presentation. Thank you!

[@playgroundai]

Hey Maurice, such an encouraging comment, thank you for taking the time to do so! I hope I can continue to deliver the same value through these videos. 👍🏼

Just Amazing!

[@ericf2091]

hello, I love Playground, I just found out, after having made some steps on Midjouney, I’m a beginner whis the IA, and really I love Playground, I’m impressed by the images that can be done with it! (Too bad that the hands are currently a problem (difficult for me to retouch them, so I sometimes have to erase beautiful images because of this). But apart from that a big thank you for your fantastic and "magical" work! greetings

[@playgroundai]

Glad to hear you are enjoying playground! As for the hands, there are workarounds, a good model (is always key for good hands) Sometimes you can start with one filter or even just SDXL and generate an image with a good hand and use img2img to change the look and style with filters. You can also use controlnet and a good reference image to get good hands. We are working on a better inpainting model that can help with hands too but the team is still working on it. I will be covering this topic very soon. 👍

Thank you very much❤ Will be great to learn how to smoothly integrate specific objects in the same picture style, such as notebook on the table. And switch one object to the other - change clothes, for instance.

[@playgroundai]

We will cover this in a future video to come soon!

[@cekuhnen]

What I find playground missing are layers Each new generation is a new layer This way you can compose and edit individual elements

[@schmutly]

Awesome explainations and details as usual. Thanks and waiting for the next one ^_^

Well done! With each new video, AI is improved

[@playgroundai]

Glad you think so!

[@I.INFINITI]

@@user-tn8uu2cu8g I have nothing against religion. But this has always been a brake on progress. And why is this so, if not for the reason that only the Lord had to work miracles. For example, a tooth hurts, and only Jesus has to heal it, but now people can do this magic. And when a doctor treats a person with a serious illness, it is practically the resurrection of the deceased. But for some reason, all religions ignore the words that are written in both the Quran and the Bible: God created man in his own image and likeness. And there is nothing wrong with the fact that humanity is progressing, it is a development, it is a gift from Allah. A gift that was given to us from the very beginning.

[@Otchengazoom]

I've tried to add something to existing image, but unsuccessfully. Is there an option to put a tattoo to the neck of the person at my image considering the curves of the body and how to do that?

When i generate 4 photos at once, how can I use seed to reproduce the second image? As i am able to recreate the first image out of a set of 4

[@VitorGalveia]

Amazing video, it explains a lot about this application. One thing I tried to do was to transform the raccon in a way that one eye is winking and I couldn't make it. Is there a limitation on this tool to make such thing?

[@playgroundai]

Glad it was helpful. I haven't tried to do a winking photo but you can try describing it in a different way, the AI may not know what winking is. Perhaps one eye closed or you can try doing 2 images and combining one image with the eyes open and the other closed., just delete the areas around it. Or maybe inpaniting can work too. If I have later I'll see what works best.

[@user-hx2vy7sb7g]

In Canvas, How can I connect 2 similar images together, especially the pattern on each image. I want to join them to be one big endless flow pattern. What prompt should I use for inPaint generation frame?

[@jonrend]

nice tutorial. I think this is the best flexible AI art tool I have come across. Is this using Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL) version 1.0?

[@playgroundai]

Appreciate it and yes SDXL 1.0 but we do still have filters that use SD1.5.

[@TheLastDispensation]

Does this come with canva I pay for?

[@irinaivanova8119]

Couldn't find "Storybook" option in filters

[@2Heavy]

Excellent video. Still can't believe what can be done with AI, and we are only really at the beginning! Can I just check something, though? When you explained the Publish part it sounded like the checkbox determines whether you want the image to post to your profile as public or private, but the description text reads as though it will make the canvas file public, not just the image itself. Is this correct? Thanks.

[@playgroundai]

Yes that's correct. If you don't check that, it will still publish it publicly and you would have to make it private after. Great question as I should've made that point more clear 👍

[@jorgefuenmayor2314]

I want to use the draw to edit pencil, but when I push the generate buttom, does not do anything

[@fictionaddiction4706]

Thanks for the tutorial, I love Playground AI. I hope it gets more acknowledgment as it should. Btw What is the difference between the object eraser and the simple eraser?

[@playgroundai]

Great to hear and we appreciate the support. The simple eraser is more like the traditional eraser. It will delete everything even the background which would require you to regenerate that area. The object eraser will only delete the object that is masked and leave the background.

[@velvetbees]

Canvas is very powerful. I would love to see an option to recolor an image in image to image with a different color palette. In other words, you can have the same image, but you can change it from something like primary colors to tertiary or monochromatic or triadic coloring.

[@playgroundai]

Thanks for the feedback. That would be nice to have. 👍

[@tradehut2782]

I've been using Playground since 2 days. It is very very nice. Kind of switched from Leonardo because in Leo the free plan doesn't give as good images

[@007HANDMAN]

if necessary, I can collect all the good words that the commenters write below. I am very new to this AI, 1 hour before writing this message, from a quick glance you can see that it is different from other AIs. I congratulate you and wish you to continue with other things differently. But I wanted to ask if there is a tool here or somewhere else that can fix the perspective of an image. Thank you😮‍💨

[@playgroundai]

I'm not sure what you mean? Like from wide angle to close up? Or side view to front view?

[@NeXusAG]

Can i place another on one image? Can i add 2 of my own images for this?

merci :)

You're welcome!

[@peteskyrunner4845]

Great tutorial. When you drag the purple box it snaps to the edge of the image. How do you turn that on please. I struggle to do it exact when doing manually.

[@playgroundai]

Not sure what you mean? Can you point out where in the video you see it? By default there are alignment tools built in that help with lining things up.

[@arnaudvaratges1557]

Hello and thank you for your tutorials. When I superimpose two images, I can't find the copy into function with the right click to unite the two images once pasted. Is there a trick? Thank you for your attention.

[@playgroundai]

You have to select both images then copy and paste, either select both by dragging the canvas with your mouse and select both images, then CTRL+C to copy, CTRL+V Paste. Alternatively you can click on both images to select both.

[@arnaudvaratges1557]

Thank you for your prompt reply. But when I copy the images, they remain split. They don't unite.@@playgroundai

[@albertomartinez9662]

Hi. This is great. I want to know if I can upload a portrait picture on myself and convert it into somethin else, like anime or cartoon...?

[@playgroundai]

Yes however it will change how you look when using image to image. It's to preserve the identity of people.

[@joseraulsotoflorez5287]

I just saw a video you make about LeonardoAI and now this Playground, what do you think about both, as I could see this one is better I believe.

That was before I was employed with playground. Of course I would be biased but I agree with you 😁👍

[@skazki_children]

How do I upload my image and remake it?

[@noctunalvidici8851]

How much does it cost to remove censorship?

[@AlexanderBardow]

I have a question exactly on the 14:41 second. (I am trying to follow the video, while doing what is explained there on my side.) As the video says: If you want to combine two images, then you need to highlight both of them, then do the right click and there will come the drop menu with the "Copy" option in it. Indeed, the drop menu in the video gives the following choices: - Bring to Front - Send to Back -Lock Shapes -Copy -Download -Delete Well, from my side, while I am trying to do the same (combine two images after highlighting both of them and doing the right click) in my version of Playground the options of the drop menu are the following: - Bring to Front - Send to Back -Lock Shapes -Download two images -Comment -Delete Thus as a user I have a question: How do I copy the two images and then paste them? What exactly do I need to do?

[@playgroundai]

Playground is optimized for Chrome, so if you use something like Firefox, maybe safari, it could be missing some options. Alternatively you can just use the short cut keys CTRL+C, CTRL+V to copy and paste.

[@jasonblackie7410]

We have blog posts with a certain theme for the main images. Is it possible to use these images to change how they look depending on the blog subject?

[@playgroundai]

I'm sorry I don't really understand what you are asking, can you clarify?

[@jasonblackie7410]

So, we have had a 3rd party create images for each of our websites blogs. These images have a specific theme which I am having difficulty recreating myself for new blogs. Can Playground create new images based on my current blog images?

[@rossdanielart]

Is there a way to generate images with the same quality as the preview? I actually like the look of the preview for concepting and would like if the generated art looks close to it in terms of the grainy quality. For short I would just like to upscale the preview.

[@playgroundai]

The actual preview? No not at the moment, it's configured differently but you can probably mimic it in the settings, low cfg, low quality and details and a certain sampler.

[@rossdanielart]

@@playgroundai Yeah I tried that, the generations isn't as organic as the preview. Thanks though. For now Im jus resorting to snapshotting the preview.

[@timedriverable]

Can this match Leonardo's "alchemy" as far as more sophisticated realistic photo or painting details...outside of that a great informative introduction.

[@playgroundai]

I'd say so, with the right prompts and filters it can be achieved.

[@jamesmorrison7876]

I am enjoying using Playgound. What is the difference between Board and Canvas? Is one better than the other? Seems like they are the same except the display. Can u clarify?

[@playgroundai]

Great question James! Board is more for quick generations and also great for mobile users as we don't have a mobile app at the moment. But Canvas has more editing tools like outpainting, object eraser, instruct to edit, draw to edit etc. Think of canvas like your touch up section and board for quick and easy generations. Many people use both, create in board then edit in Canvas. Personally I use canvas 80% of the time now since I work from a desktop. Hope that helps! 👍
