๐ŸŸข Variations and Image Changes

๐Ÿค  Use the V1 V2 V3 V4 buttons below each image grid to create subtle or strong variations of the generated images, or use the Vary (Subtle) button.

Use the ๐ŸŽจ High Variation Mode and ๐ŸŽจ Low Variation Mode settings to control the amount of variation created with these buttons. You can also use the ๐Ÿช„ Vary (Strong) or ๐Ÿช„ Vary (Subtle) buttons displayed below the enlarged images to create variants of the enlarged images. ๐Ÿช„ Vary (Region) modifies selected areas in the generated image without changing the entire image.

Comparison of Variationsโ€‹

  • For ๐ŸŽจ High Variation Mode and ๐Ÿช„ Vary (Strong), using the "Vary" button will generate new images that may change the composition, number of elements, colors, and types of details in the image. High Variation Mode is useful for creating multiple concepts based on a single generated image.
  • ๐ŸŽจ Low Variation Mode and ๐Ÿช„ Vary (Subtle) generate variants that retain the main composition of the original image but make subtle changes to its details. This mode is helpful for refining or making slight adjustments to an image.
