Image to Image Leonardo AI - Full Guide

Introduction

In this guide, we will explore how to use the Image to Image feature on Leonardo AI to create any image you desire while using a specific image as a reference. Follow along for a step-by-step walkthrough.

Getting Started with Leonardo AI

1. Visit Leonardo AI: First, navigate to Leonardo AI's website. A link will be provided in the description below.
2. Create an Account: Click on the "Create Account" option to sign up. Once your account is created, you will be brought to the Leonardo AI dashboard.

Exploring the Dashboard

Upon entering the dashboard, you will see various user tools, including:

• Image Generation
• Real-time Canvas
• Canvas Editor
• Motion
• Real-time Generation

Scrolling down, you can view all community-generated images for inspiration.

Using Community Images for Reference

Let’s say you want to create an image similar to one of the community's images, such as a particular girl you find appealing. Here’s how to proceed:

1. Select the Image: Click on the image you wish to use as a reference.
2. View the Details: In the new tab, you can view the prompt used for the image, the creation time, the Leonardo AI model used, and all the elements involved in its creation. You can also download the image to your PC by clicking the download button.

Generating a New Image

Method 1: Generate with Photo

If you want to create a similar image using the existing one as a guide, follow these steps:

1. Click on "Generate with Photo": This imports all relevant image settings and elements.
2. Account Coins: Be mindful that generating images will consume Leonardo AI coins, which reset daily. The free plan provides you with 150 coins daily.
3. Image Settings: Choose the number of images to generate and the model options (Photo Re or Alchemy) to enhance the results.
4. Image Dimensions: Select the desired dimensions for your new image.

Method 2: Image Generation Tool

Alternatively, if you want to start fresh without using a community image, select the "Image Generation" tool under user tools and input your desired requirements manually.

Uploading Your Reference Image

To upload your reference image:

1. Select "Image Guidance": Click this option to access the upload feature.
2. Upload Image: Choose your reference image from your computer and upload it.

Once uploaded, you can set the type of generation you want—select "image to image" for this guide.

Adjusting Image Strength

The "strength" parameter is crucial. It determines how closely the new image will resemble the original reference image:

• Higher Strength: The generated image remains close to the source image.
• Lower Strength: The AI has more freedom, resulting in a more creative output, diverging from the original.

For demonstrations, we will generate an image with both high strength (0.66) and low strength (0.26).

Generating Your Image

Here’s how to create your desired image:

1. Generate Prompt: Write a detailed prompt in the text box explaining what you want. For instance: "Create a woman warrior from the medieval years that is holding a sword and is inside the battlefield."
2. Click Generate: View your image results by navigating to the "Generation History."

Assessing the Results

After generating images with high strength, you may find that they did not significantly change from the source image due to the strength setting. Lowering the strength allows for more alterations, leading to more satisfactory results.

Encouragement for Iteration

Remember, achieving the perfect image might require multiple iterations of adjusting settings, tweaking the prompt, and generating new versions. Practice makes perfect, and learning how to write effective prompts can accelerate this process.

Conclusion

Using Leonardo AI's Image to Image feature is a fantastic way to tap into your creative potential. Make sure to experiment with different prompts and strength settings to finely tune your desired results.
