This functionality simplifies the creative process, making it accessible for various applications from artistic endeavors to professional projects.

Imagine a scenario where you have an incomplete image or wish to enhance an existing one. With Flux Timescape, you can easily inpaint or modify images based on customizable parameters like aspect ratio, output quality, and model selection. This flexibility not only saves time but also enhances the quality of your visual content.

Prerequisites

To get started with Flux Timescape's Cognitive Actions, you'll need an API key and a basic understanding of making API calls. This ensures that you can integrate the capabilities effortlessly into your applications.

Generate Image with Inpainting

The "Generate Image with Inpainting" action is designed to create images by editing or completing parts of an existing image. It provides a robust solution for scenarios where you need to refine visuals or generate new content based on specific prompts.

Purpose

This action solves the problem of generating high-quality images that may require modifications or enhancements. Whether you want to fill in missing parts of an image or create a new scene based on an existing one, this action delivers results efficiently.

Input Requirements

The input for this action includes a variety of parameters:

  • Prompt: A description of the desired image (required).
  • Mask: An image mask for inpainting (optional).
  • Image: An existing image for modification (optional).
  • Aspect Ratio: Determines the proportions of the generated image (default is "1:1").
  • Width and Height: Dimensions of the output image (applicable when aspect ratio is custom).
  • Output Count: Number of images to generate (ranging from 1 to 4).
  • Output Format: Format for the generated images (e.g., webp, jpg, png).
  • Output Quality: Quality of the output images, from 0 to 100.
  • Denoising Steps: Number of steps for detail enhancement.
  • Prompt Strength: Adjusts the influence of the prompt on the output.
  • Additional parameters like LoRA weights, fast mode option, and guidance scale enhance customization.

Expected Output

The expected output is a generated image in the specified format, reflecting the input parameters. For example, you might receive a high-quality webp image based on your prompt and settings.

Example Input:

{
  "prompt": "iolani palace 100 years ago during a parade",

  "inferenceModel": "dev",
  "promptStrength": 0.8,
  "primaryLoraScale": 1,
  "secondaryLoraScale": 1,
  "diffusionGuidanceLevel": 3.5
}

Example Output:
