Prerequisites

To use the Cognitive Actions API, you'll need an API key. Familiarity with making API calls will also be beneficial as you integrate these powerful capabilities into your applications.

Generate Image with Inpainting and Refinement

The "Generate Image with Inpainting and Refinement" action allows you to create images through advanced inpainting techniques, offering options for prompt-based guidance and a variety of refinement styles. This action is particularly useful when you want to modify existing images or generate new visuals based on specific prompts.

Input Requirements

The action requires a structured input consisting of several parameters, including:

• Mask: URI of the input mask for inpainting. Black areas are preserved, while white areas are inpainted.
• Seed: An optional integer for randomization.
• Image: URI of the input image for processing.
• Width and Height: Dimensions of the output image (default is 1024 pixels).
• Prompt: Text that guides image generation.
• Negative Prompt: Text to avoid in the image.
• Refine: Specifies the refinement style (options include "no_refiner," "expert_ensemble_refiner," and "base_image_refiner").
• Guidance Scale: A scale factor for classifier-free guidance.
• Number of Outputs: Specifies how many images to generate (1 to 4).
• Prompt Intensity: Strength of the prompt in influencing the output.
• Include Watermark: Option to apply a watermark to the generated image.
• Inference Steps Count: Number of denoising steps during processing.

Expected Output

The output is a URI link to the generated image, which will be a high-quality representation based on the provided input parameters.

Use Cases for this Specific Action

1. Digital Art Creation: Artists can utilize this action to generate unique pieces of art by providing creative prompts and refining styles that match their aesthetic vision.
2. Marketing Content: Marketers can quickly create visually appealing images tailored to specific campaigns or audiences, enhancing engagement and storytelling.
3. Game Development: Developers can generate assets for games by inpainting and refining images, allowing them to create customized environments or characters.
4. Social Media Posts: Content creators can generate eye-catching images for their social media feeds, making their posts stand out and attract more followers.
