I immediately scrolled to comments after coffee cup fiasko and I wasn't disappointed. This community is so great, you can learn so much, so fast.

[@bellsTheorem1138]

A much better solution when using "Masked Only" is to place a tiny dot of masking on or near content of the image that gives your masked region and prompt some context. What happen with Masked Only is that the image is cropped to fit just the masked part so many times it loses context to fit the new generation into. So if you want to in paint a hand, add a dot of mask further up the arm so it knows how it should be positioned or sized to match the rest of the arm. In your example adding a tiny dot of mask to the other coffee cup would have produced a better result. Simply because the cropping will include that contextual information. You have to leave in enough for the AI to work with.

[@brandonaraya7598]

i do the same , just mask only , and add 2 points around the part that i want to change so the ia has something to work

[@crobinso2010]

Dot Contexting would make a good topic for an instruction video.

Hey Seb, just a little tip. Once you're done inpainting, you can put the final image into img2img with very low denoise to remove inpainting blurs, shadows, etc. for a smoother result.

[@doingtime20]

I thought of the same as I was having trouble with an image that is a painting, although img2img has very little denoise strength it still manages to change small crucial details like the eyes. I wish there was a better solution to this, since the "only mask" option leaves a much smoother surface than the rest of the image and makes it look out of place. It's not so much trouble when it's a photo, but in other kind of images like paintings the "blur" of the fix stands out more. :S

[@spanko685]

how do you use this interface, that one he's showing in the video?

[@tannhausergate7162]

@@spanko685 It's Automatic1111, which is relatively easy to install. Just make sure you follow the steps exactly, especially when it comes to the Python version stated. Too recent is just as bad as too old, because some of the components are very finicky. There are tons of videos and websites covering it specifically, as it's the most popular and probably still the most feature rich UI.

[@spanko685]

@@tannhausergate7162 thx so much

[@abetuna2707]

how? can you elaborate plz

[@Antalion20]

The reason that the coffee cup doesn't fit well within the image is because the render box for the inpaint area is such a small part of the image - anything generated is done so only within the context of a) what is not denoised i.e. the original image and b) what SD can actually see (within the render box). For high denoising strength you generally want a larger render box, otherwise it's easy to lose context. But what if you only want to change a small area? No problem! The render area is created as a bounding box that contains all the inpaint area you've selected - so, you can increase it by adding tiny dots of inpaint area to the scene. If you make them very small then whatever is behind it will generally be unchanged once rendered, so only the main area you've selected will be altered - but the dots will still count towards the bounding box. In the example given, I would put one dot above and to the left of the first coffee cup, and one at the bottom and to the right of the table. That way, what is rendered will probably adher more closely to both the focus (the blur on the coffee cup) and orientation and size of the table. For lower denoising strength (0.5 or below I'd say) it will generally be able to glean the context from what remains of the original image, but for anything higher I get much better results with this method.

[@sebastiankamph]

Clever! Nice tip 🌟

[@EmperorZ19]

Is this different from simply increasing the mask padding to include that larger area?

[@morganandreason]

@@EmperorZ19 That was my thought exactly. Isn't that exactly what the "Only masked padding, pixels" slider is for?

[@blisterfingers8169]

@@morganandreason Mask padding is exactly what this is for but it only goes so big. InvokeAI has a much better solution with an actual bounding box you can move around.

[@morganandreason]

@@blisterfingers8169 I can see how a movable bounding box is a lot better, yes. Hope it comes to Auto1111.

Hi, only got into Stable Diffusion a couple of weeks ago and hadn't had much luck with Inpainting, this tutorial made a lot of sense and got much better results with my first Inpaint after watching this. Thanks :)

[@pizzaluvah]

I'm all for self-deprecating humo(u)r, but in all seriousness, you are a very capable teacher. Thank you.

[@sebastiankamph]

Thank you! 😃

[@zvit]

The reason you were struggling with the coffee cup is because "full image" is not just to keep the inpaint part the same resolution, but it tells the inpaint engine to look at the entire picture when drawing. So, you will get a perfectly sized cup, and correct sunlight on the cup coming from the window, for example. But with "masked only", it only looks at the area of the cup, and that's why it won't fit the scene as well.

[@AIKnowledge2Go]

Awesome tutorial. Understanding the difference for masked content "original" and "latent noise" helped me so much. As others had already mentioned, making the inpaint area bigger also helps. When i Inpaint Body parts like the upper torso, I often mask the start of arms and the neck as well, so that inpaint understands in which direction the body is moving.

[@michaelleue7594]

I wish there was a tool for drawing, like, a heat map on an image, that allowed you to highlight areas where major changes are required and areas where minor changes would be better, in the context of the whole image. Inpainting with a mask is a great tool, but it will always fail to account for image context. There's basically no way to get SD to make a second cup like the first one, for example (short of exporting to Photoshop or something). There's a tool in DALL-E where you can choose different mask colors and assign each color to specific idea, and I feel like that would be really useful if you could also assign weights to those colors.

[@KDawg5000]

I thought maybe the value of the mask would affect how much is changed, so I did some experimenting. I created masks with values going from black to gray to white. In the end, it didn't matter. At some point stable diffusion switches from off to on, so there's no middle ground as far as I could tell.

[@DejayClayton]

So basically, a heatmap-driven denoise parameter

[@TheOriginalOrkdoop]

Doesn't "ControlNet" or "segment anything" used with "inpaint anything" extensions do this?

Thanks. BTW - I've used inpaint sketch very little. A few times I tried, it was VERY laggy. Can't be the GPU and I've got the latest drivers too. For you it seemed to be working OK.

The padding is useful to give the AI information about the outside when it should change the inside. Denoise + Padding balance is needed when you encounter that AI inpaints whole body inside the face mask especially at higher resolution. i set mine at about 188 generating at 1072 x 1400

[@void2258]

I use invoke Ai when I need inpainting or outpainting if at all possible (lora support coming in a few days means a lot of the cases I can't right now soon will be possible). Much better interface. Hoping I can switch over entirely once the migration to nodes makes addons possible.

[@johndoe4004]

informative, but i do wish you said what mask blur did as you set it as well and only masked padding, pixels, i could see the result but not understand the why, as for the rest it was very nice

[@sebastiankamph]

Mask blur changes the blur of the mask edge, increasing or decreasing it. Padding just gives a larger area to work with to adapt for the resolution you want in the render.

[@vitoroliveira2203]

I would love a more detailed tutorial regarding the cup situation in the video. Many times I try to use inpainting I generate some unsatisfactory results that do not blend well with the image at all with some having a clearly different art style, lighting and size. It just screams 'out of place' and I kinda give up after some time and go back to rolling the dice on img2img hoping for a more detailed or pleasing image.

[@ZeroCool22]

That's because you should use Inapinting models, they not only ensure the edges/lines match, but it also does a correct light/colors.

[@ShortDullStories]

Wow, thx ! I used a lot of inpainting for my newest video but still think it looks a little bit off in some places (e.g. the Maggot Robby faces). Just did a quick test with adjusted width/height to the face properties and it yields waaaay better results. I think the inpaint sketch is tricky, most of the time it looks really off. Much effort to repair it after an object is placed. btw. loved your Bob Ross style video, you really could open a second channel and just do that there

I'm not sure I understand the purpose of latent noise. If you're setting denoising strength to 1.0, doesn't that mean that the resulting image has nothing in common with what was inside of the mask, and it wouldn't matter which mask fill option you chose?

Edit: ahh it was blur setting I think I still confuse by it, is it for the mask or for the finish painting. idk xd 5:52 man this warning is what cost me a lot of the time, they need to fix this bug. 6:00 onwards. One thing that I think you know, but if you don't. Then If you want Inpaint something that already exists in the painting, it's better to make it a "Whole picture" so it can pick colors and existing concepts that have already been there so it is more cohesive in terms of color and aesthetics. and then after you can refine the details with "Only masked". or even something new it's better to take the whole picture and then work on the details in the "Only Masked" area.
