Use cases include generating concept art, retouching photos, or even creating entirely new scenes by inpainting elements according to your prompts. This flexibility allows for a seamless integration into projects that require visual content without the need for extensive graphic design skills.

Prerequisites

To get started, you will need a Cognitive Actions API key and a basic understanding of how to make API calls.

Generate Image with Inpainting

The Generate Image with Inpainting action allows for the creation of high-quality images with sophisticated inpainting features. This action is designed to solve the challenge of modifying existing images or generating new ones based on specific requirements.

Input Requirements

Mask: A URI for the input mask that indicates which areas to change (white areas will be inpainted, black areas will remain unchanged).
Image: A URI for the input image that will undergo inpainting or modification.
Prompt: A text description guiding the image generation process.
Width & Height: Define the output image dimensions (default is 1024x1024 pixels).
LoRA Scale: A scale factor for Low-Rank Adaptation, applicable to trained models (default is 0.6).
Guidance Scale: A factor for classifier-free guidance during image generation (default is 7.5).
Prompt Strength: Impacts how much the prompt influences the final image.
Number of Outputs: Specifies how many images to generate (default is 1, maximum is 4).
Additional parameters include inference steps, refinement methods, and options for applying watermarks.

Expected Output

The action returns one or more URIs pointing to the generated images, providing immediate access to the results of your inpainting requests.

Use Cases for this Action

When should you use the Generate Image with Inpainting action? Here are a few scenarios:

Artistic Creation: Artists can use this action to modify existing artwork, adding new elements or altering scenes without starting from scratch.
Marketing Materials: Marketers can generate tailored images for campaigns, ensuring that visuals align with specific messaging or branding strategies.
Social Media Content: Create unique images for posts by inpainting elements that resonate with your audience, enhancing engagement and sharing potential.
Game Development: Developers can create and modify textures or scenes dynamically, allowing for rapid iteration during game design.
