ImaginAIry 🤖🧠

AI imagined images. Pythonic generation of stable diffusion images.

"just works" on Linux and macOS(M1) (and maybe windows?).

Examples

# on macOS, make sure rust is installed first
>> pip install imaginairy
>> imagine "a scenic landscape" "a photo of a dog" "photo of a fruit bowl" "portrait photo of a freckled woman"
# Stable Diffusion 2.1
>> imagine --model SD-2.1 "a forest"

Console Output

🤖🧠 received 4 prompt(s) and will repeat them 1 times to create 4 images.

Prompt Based Editing by clipseg

Specify advanced text based masks using boolean logic and strength modifiers. Mask syntax:

• mask descriptions must be lowercase
• keywords (AND, OR, NOT) must be uppercase
• parentheses are supported
• mask modifiers may be appended to any mask or group of masks. Example: (dog OR cat){+5} means that we'll select any dog or cat and then expand the size of the mask area by 5 pixels. Valid mask modifiers:
  • {+n} - expand mask by n pixels
  • {-n} - shrink mask by n pixels
  • {*n} - multiply mask strength. will expand mask to areas that weakly matched the mask description
  • {/n} - divide mask strength. will reduce mask to areas that most strongly matched the mask description. probably not useful

When writing strength modifiers keep in mind that pixel values are between 0 and 1.

>> imagine \
    --init-image pearl_earring.jpg \ 
    --mask-prompt "face AND NOT (bandana OR hair OR blue fabric){*6}" \
    --mask-mode keep \
    --init-image-strength .2 \
    --fix-faces \
    "a modern female president" "a female robot" "a female doctor" "a female firefighter"

➡️

>> imagine \
    --init-image fruit-bowl.jpg \
    --mask-prompt "fruit OR fruit stem{*6}" \
    --mask-mode replace \
    --mask-modify-original \
    --init-image-strength .1 \
    "a bowl of kittens" "a bowl of gold coins" "a bowl of popcorn" "a bowl of spaghetti"

Prompt Expansion

You can use {} to randomly pull values from lists. A list of values separated by | and enclosed in { } will be randomly drawn from in a non-repeating fashion. Values that are surrounded by _ _ will pull from a phrase list of the same name. Folders containing .txt phraselist files may be specified via --prompt_library_path. The option may be specified multiple times. Built-in categories:

  3d-term, adj-architecture, adj-beauty, adj-detailed, adj-emotion, adj-general, adj-horror, animal, art-movement, 
  art-site, artist, artist-botanical, artist-surreal, aspect-ratio, bird, body-of-water, body-pose, camera-brand,
  camera-model, color, cosmic-galaxy, cosmic-nebula, cosmic-star, cosmic-term, dinosaur, eyecolor, f-stop, 
  fantasy-creature, fantasy-setting, fish, flower, focal-length, food, fruit, games, gen-modifier, hair, hd,
  iso-stop, landscape-type, national-park, nationality, neg-weight, noun-beauty, noun-fantasy, noun-general, 
  noun-horror, occupation, photo-term, pop-culture, pop-location, punk-style, quantity, rpg-item, scenario-desc, 
  skin-color, spaceship, style, tree-species, trippy, world-heritage-site

Examples:

imagine "a {lime|blue|silver|aqua} colored dog" -r 4 --seed 0 (note that it generates a dog of each color without repetition)

imagine "a {_color_} dog" -r 4 --seed 0 will generate four, different colored dogs. The colors will be pulled from an included phraselist of colors.

imagine "a {_spaceship_|_fruit_|hot air balloon}. low-poly" -r 4 --seed 0 will generate images of spaceships or fruits or a hot air balloon

Generate image captions (via BLIP)

>> aimg describe assets/mask_examples/bowl001.jpg
a bowl full of gold bars sitting on a table

Features

• It makes images from text descriptions! 🎉
• Generate images either in code or from command line.
• It just works. Proper requirements are installed. model weights are automatically downloaded. No huggingface account needed. (if you have the right hardware... and aren't on windows)
• No more distorted faces!
• Noisy logs are gone (which was surprisingly hard to accomplish)
• WeightedPrompts let you smash together separate prompts (cat-dog)
• Tile Mode creates tileable images
• Prompt metadata saved into image file metadata
• Edit images by describing the part you want edited (see example above)
• Have AI generate captions for images aimg describe <filename-or-url>
• Interactive prompt: just run aimg

How To

For full command line instructions run aimg --help

from imaginairy import imagine, imagine_image_files, ImaginePrompt, WeightedPrompt, LazyLoadingImage

url = "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6c/Thomas_Cole_-_Architect%E2%80%99s_Dream_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg/540px-Thomas_Cole_-_Architect%E2%80%99s_Dream_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg"
prompts = [
    ImaginePrompt("a scenic landscape", seed=1, upscale=True),
    ImaginePrompt("a bowl of fruit"),
    ImaginePrompt([
        WeightedPrompt("cat", weight=1),
        WeightedPrompt("dog", weight=1),
    ]),
    ImaginePrompt(
        "a spacious building", 
        init_image=LazyLoadingImage(url=url)
    ),
    ImaginePrompt(
        "a bowl of strawberries", 
        init_image=LazyLoadingImage(filepath="mypath/to/bowl_of_fruit.jpg"),
        mask_prompt="fruit OR stem{*2}",  # amplify the stem mask x2
        mask_mode="replace",
        mask_modify_original=True,
    ),
    ImaginePrompt("strawberries", tile_mode=True),
]
for result in imagine(prompts):
    # do something
    result.save("my_image.jpg")

# or

imagine_image_files(prompts, outdir="./my-art")

Requirements

• ~10 gb space for models to download
• A decent computer with either a CUDA supported graphics card (and CUDA installed) or an M1 processor.
• Python installed. Preferably Python 3.10. (not conda)
• For macOS rust and setuptools-rust must be installed to compile the tokenizer library. They can be installed via: curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh and pip install setuptools-rust

Running in Docker

See example Dockerfile (works on machine where you can pass the gpu into the container)

docker build . -t imaginairy
# you really want to map the cache or you end up wasting a lot of time and space redownloading the model weights
docker run -it --gpus all -v $HOME/.cache/huggingface:/root/.cache/huggingface -v $HOME/.cache/torch:/root/.cache/torch -v `pwd`/outputs:/outputs imaginairy /bin/bash

Running on Google Colab

ChangeLog

7.1.1

• fix: memory/speed regression introduced in 6.1.0
• fix: model switching now clears memory better, thus avoiding out of memory errors

7.1.0

• feature: 🎉 Stable Diffusion 2.1. Generated people are no longer (completely) distorted. Use with --model SD-2.1 or --model SD-2.0-v

7.0.0

• feature: negative prompting. --negative-prompt or ImaginePrompt(..., negative_prompt="ugly, deformed, extra arms, etc")
• feature: a default negative prompt is added to all generations. Images in SD-2.0 don't look bad anymore. Images in 1.5 look improved as well.

6.1.2

• fix: add back in memory-efficient algorithms

6.1.1

• feature: xformers will be used if available (for faster generation)
• fix: version metadata was broken

6.1.0

• feature: use different default steps and image sizes depending on sampler and model selceted
• fix: #110 use proper version in image metadata
• refactor: samplers all have their own class that inherits from ImageSampler
• feature: 🎉🎉🎉 Stable Diffusion 2.0
  • --model SD-2.0 to use (it makes worse images than 1.5 though...)
  • Tested on macOS and Linux
  • All samplers working for new 512x512 model
  • New inpainting model working
  • 768x768 model working for all samplers except PLMS (--model SD-2.0-v )

5.1.0

• feature: add progress image callback

5.0.1

• fix: support larger images on M1. Fixes #8
• fix: support CPU generation by disabling autocast on CPU. Fixes #81

5.0.0

• feature: 🎉 inpainting support using new inpainting model from RunwayML. It works really well! By default, the inpainting model will automatically be used for any image-masking task
• feature: 🎉 new default sampler makes image generation more than twice as fast
• feature: added DPM++ 2S a and DPM++ 2M samplers.
• feature: improve progress image logging
• fix: fix bug with --show-work. fixes #84
• fix: add workaround for pytorch bug affecting macOS users using the new DPM++ 2S a and DPM++ 2M samplers.
• fix: add workaround for pytorch mps bug affecting k_dpm_fast sampler. fixes #75

4.1.0

• feature: allow dynamic switching between models/weights --model SD-1.5 or --model SD-1.4 or --model path/my-custom-weights.ckpt)
• feature: log total progress when generating images (image X out of Y)

4.0.0

• feature: stable diffusion 1.5 (slightly improved image quality)
• feature: dilation and erosion of masks Previously the + and - characters in a mask (example: face{+0.1}) added to the grayscale value of any masked areas. This wasn't very useful. The new behavior is that the mask will expand or contract by the number of pixel specified. The technical terms for this are dilation and erosion. This allows much greater control over the masked area.
• feature: update k-diffusion samplers. add k_dpm_adaptive and k_dpm_fast
• feature: img2img/inpainting supported on all samplers
• refactor: consolidates img2img/txt2img code. consolidates schedules. consolidates masking

• improved masking accuracy from clipseg

2.0.3

• fix memory leak in face enhancer
• fix blurry inpainting
• fix for pillow compatibility

2.0.0

• 🎉 fix: inpainted areas correlate with surrounding image, even at 100% generation strength. Previously if the generation strength was high enough the generated image would be uncorrelated to the rest of the surrounding image. It created terrible looking images.
• 🎉 feature: interactive prompt added. access by running aimg
• 🎉 feature: Specify advanced text based masks using boolean logic and strength modifiers. Mask descriptions must be lowercase. Keywords uppercase. Valid symbols: AND, OR, NOT, (), and mask strength modifier {+0.1} where + can be any of + - * /. Single character boolean operators also work (|, &, !)
• 🎉 feature: apply mask edits to original files with mask_modify_original (on by default)
• feature: auto-rotate images if exif data specifies to do so
• fix: mask boundaries are more accurate
• fix: accept mask images in command line
• fix: img2img algorithm was wrong and wouldn't at values close to 0 or 1

1.6.2

• fix: another bfloat16 fix

1.6.1

• fix: make sure image tensors come to the CPU as float32 so there aren't compatibility issues with non-bfloat16 cpus

• test coverage improved

1.2.0

• allow urls as init-images
