Here are some of the ways you can generate variations in images and some of the advanced settings for the same : (details on each of these settings follows the list)
Providing keywords — ‘style’
stylize
chaos
Resolution
Aspect ratio
passing an image as a prompt as URL
applying weights to the image prompts
weights to the word prompts
filtering out words
In a nutshell, your style is affected by the keywords of your choice — and you can specify what kind of styles you choose to go for — A broad classification of the style types are shown in this figure —
Style — keyword
providing a set of supporting prompt keywords associated with “styles” can create different outputs based on what kind of style you opt to choose. Here are some of the keywords and sub-types based on the artform/design/artist/ genre you might want to choose as styles :
using design/genre as style
using artist name as style
You can also specify the artist as your style output . Some samples to the same prompt are shown below
/imagine horse galloping at sunset painting Andy Warhol style
using the rendering/ lighting properties as style
2. stylize the output
You can add the setting--s <some number>( denoting style )
The following images are from the same prompts — with low and high stylize option.
/imagine firefighters --s 6000
3. chaos — Increase the abstraction
Takes a number from 0 to 100 to increase or decrease the level of abstraction in the subject
/imagine Eiffel tower --chaos 60
4. Resolution
To specify the output resolution, you can use some of the usual keywords like 8K , 4K , photorealistic , ultra photoreal , ultra detailed, intricate details etc
Or you can go with the standard settings for predictable outputs hd and quality / --q are two such settings
/imagine red rose flower --hd
/imagine red rose flower --quality 5
5. Aspect ratio
You can specify what . The default output is a square image (1:1 aspect ratio). But if you want a more cinematic view — or you just want to make a wall paper for your laptop, you can change the aspect ratio
/imagine jasmine in the wild flower --ar 4:3
If you want to specify a custom image size , use the following example
/imagine jasmine in the wild flower --w 600 --h 300
👉 You cannot specify your custom aspect ratios — but can specify some of the standard ratios and some non-standard too ! ( Here are some examples)
6. Image as a prompt
If you want to get some outputs similar to an image style , ( when you want to get consistent outputs ) across multiple images, pass a URL of the image
/imagine http://www.imgur.com/Im3424.jpg box full of chocolates
The image generated will take cues from both the seed image ( from the URL you passed ) and also the text prompts.
👉 You can give multiple images as prompts
👉 You can specify weights to the images ( see the next point )
7. Weights to Image prompt
If you want your output to be looking more like your prompt image ( see the previous point), give a higher weightage to that image (keyword : --iw <number>) .
/imagine http://www.imgur.com/ks34f24.jpg chocolates --iw:4
8. Weights to text prompt
/imagine wild animals tiger::2 zebra::4 lions::1.5
9. Filtering out words from your image
Use the --no keyword to discard any unwanted subjects popping in your
/imagine KFC fried chicken --no sauce
10. Finally, some interesting keywords you can try to use
