Advanced Parameters

Advanced Paraments
  • Negative Prompt: specify what you don’t want to show in the generated image.
  • CFG Scale: Control how strongly your text prompt affects the generated image.
  • Steps: Determine the number of steps used to create an image; more steps can lead to more detailed results.
  • Seed: The random seed value controls the initial noise of the latent image and, hence, the composition of the final image. Using the same seed with the same parameters will produce the same image, allowing for reproducibility.

Notice:

  • Each of our models has well-tuned optimal original advanced parameters that normally do not need to be altered. If the generated results are not sufficiently as expected, the users can adjust advanced parameters to get better results.
  • IMPORTANT! If users click remix, then all the generated images will keep the parameters the same as the ones you choose to click remix. If you need the advanced parameters back to the original parameters, click “reset”.

How to generate images with PicLumen

Text to Image

There is no difference between PicLumen and the commercially available text-to-image feature, which is to select the model and set parameters, enter text prompts, and then the user gets the results.

Image to Image

PicLumen’s image-to-image feature is different from others. After uploading an image, users can choose the things they want to refer to:

Content Reference:

It will keep the core content of the uploaded image intact, combining your text prompts to change colors, restyle the image, turn sketches into masterpieces, etc.

For example, on the left is the uploaded image, and I choose “Content Ref,” then I enter the prompt “woodblock print, people standing on the beach, strong contrasting colors, a town on fire.” Then, I get the result on the right.

Style Reference:

PicLumen will mimic the style of the uploaded image, blending it with your text prompts to generate a new stunning AI art.

Character Reference:

This will maintain consistent characters across your images with ease. Use our image to image ai generator to give images a new expression by combining text prompts without changing the characters.

Note: For character reference, users should upload an unobstructed picture of the face.

FLUX.1

FLUX.1 is based on text-to-image, so if you upload an image, the uploaded image will not take effect.

FLUX AI enhances text comprehension by producing accurate, descriptive images with realistic styles, reducing text errors, and enhancing the understanding of complex prompts.
