Lecture Notes on Flux One Tools

Introduction

• Presenter: Fahad Mirza
• Focus: Recently released Flux One Tools
• Aim: Provide a simple, step-by-step tutorial

Overview of Flux One

• Flux One: A leading model for text-to-image generation.
• Flux1.dev: Base model for generating images from text.
• Purpose of Tools: To add control and variations to images generated by Flux1.dev.

Flux One Tools

1. Fill Tool:

   • Inpainting: Replace a masked area with something new.
     • E.g., changing lipstick color on a human image.
   • Outpainting: Extend the masked area of an image.
     • E.g., extending a waist-up image to include legs.

2. Depth Tool:

   • Provides structural guidance based on a depth map.
   • Captures depth details from original images to new ones.

3. Kenny Tool:

   • Focuses on edges, using the Canny edge algorithm.
   • Detects and uses outlines or boundaries of objects.

4. Redux Tool:

   • Allows mixing and recreating input images and text prompts.

Installation and Setup

• Initial Requirements:
  • Disk Space: At least 75 GB
  • VRAM: Showed real-time consumption (~24GB of a 48GB GPU)
• Steps to Download Models:
  1. Visit Flux1.dev on Hugging Face.
  2. Download flux1-dev.safetensor to the appropriate folder.
  3. Download models specific to each tool into designated folders (e.g., diffusion, clip vision).
  4. Ensure necessary VAE and clip models are downloaded and saved.

Using Comfy UI

• Comfy UI: Essential for working with Flux models.
• Process:
  1. Download and save model files as guided.
  2. Use Comfy UI to drag and drop workflows.

Demonstrations

1. Inpainting Example:

   • Changed sleeve color of an AI-generated image using the inpainting tool.

2. Outpainting Example:

   • Extended an image by creating a mask and generating additional content outside the original image's boundaries.

3. Redux Example:

   • Generated variations of an image with prompts like "long earrings."

4. Kenny Example:

   • Demonstrated edge detection and maintenance of structural integrity using the Kenny tool.

Technical Details

• Nodes Explanation:
  • Clip Nodes: Convert text prompts to a format understandable by the model.
  • CFG (Classifier Free Guidance): Dictates adherence to prompts.
  • Sampler & Scheduler: Affect quality, speed, and style of image generation.

Final Notes

• Innovate and use creativity with these tools for better image generation.
• Encouragement to subscribe and share the content for support.
