Image to Image Leonardo AI - Full Guide

In this tutorial, I will show you how to utilize the image-to-image feature on Leonardo AI to create any image you desire while using a specific image as a guide. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

Getting Started with Leonardo AI

First, navigate to Leonardo AI’s website (I will leave the link in the description below). To get started, you need to sign up by clicking on the "Create Account" button. Once you have signed up, you'll be directed to the Leonardo AI Dashboard.

Dashboard Overview

On the Dashboard, you will see various user tools:

1. Image Generation: Create images from text prompts.
2. Realtime Canvas and Canvas Editor: Tools for real-time drawing.
3. Motion and Realtime Generation: Create animated images.

If you scroll down, you will also see the community's image generations.

Creating a Guided Image

To create an image similar to an already existing one:

1. Click on the image you want to use as a guide.
2. A new tab will open where you can see the prompt used, creation time, model, elements, and a download option.
3. Click on "Generate with Photo" to import all the settings for a better result.

Alternatively, if you don’t want to use an existing image, click on "Image Generation" under User Tools on the Dashboard.

Using AI Coins and Image Settings

Leonardo AI uses coins to create generations. Free plan users get 150 coins daily, which reset every day. Here are some settings you need to be aware of:

1. Number of Images: The quantity of images you want to generate.
2. Models: Options like photo re and alchemy for better results.
3. Public Images: Determine if your images will be public. This feature requires a paid plan to turn off.
4. Image Dimensions and Advanced Options: Set the dimensions and aspect ratio.
5. Prompt Bar: Enter your detailed prompt here.

Uploading and Using a Reference Image

1. Click on "Image Guidance" and then "Upload Image" to choose your reference image.
2. Once uploaded, set the generation type to "Image to Image."
3. Set the strength, which determines how closely the new image will resemble the reference image. Higher strength means a closer resemblance.

Example Generation

For example, to transform an image into a medieval warrior:

• Enter the prompt: "Create a woman warrior from the medieval years that is holding a sword and is inside the battlefield."
• Set the strength to 0.66 for minor changes.
• Click "Generate."

If the result doesn’t match expectations, lower the strength (e.g., to 0.26) and generate again. Notice how lower strength allows for more creative freedom and a more significant transformation.

Fine-Tuning for Best Results

Remember, achieving the desired results might require tweaking the prompt and settings several times. Practicing prompt construction can significantly speed up this process.
