What is ADetailer and why is it useful?

ADetailer or After Detailer is a web-UI extension that allows you to automatically enhance your images using inpainting and other techniques. It is especially useful for fixing common problems such as distorted faces or hands in your generated images. ADetailer works with Stable Diffusion, a powerful tool for creating realistic and artistic images from text or image prompts. In this post, I will show you what ADetailer can do and why you would want to use it.

What is Inpainting and why is it useful?

Inpainting is a process of filling in missing or corrupted parts of an image using information from the surrounding pixels. It can help you improve the quality and realism of your images by removing unwanted artifacts, such as noise, blur, or distortion. Inpainting can also help you add creative effects to your images, such as changing the background, adding or removing objects, or modifying the style.

One of the main challenges of inpainting is to preserve the coherence and consistency of the image, especially when dealing with complex or detailed regions, such as faces or hands. If the inpainting algorithm is not able to generate realistic and natural-looking pixels, the result can look unnatural or even worse than the original image.

ADetailer 101: A Detection and Inpainting Tool for Image Quality Improvement in Stable Diffusion

ADetailer is a web-UI extension that automates the inpainting process for you. It uses a detection model to identify and mask the regions of the image that need inpainting, such as faces or hands. Then, it uses a inpainting model to fill in the masked regions with realistic and coherent pixels. You can also customize the inpainting process by adjusting various parameters, such as the detection threshold, the mask size, the inpainting model, and the inpainting prompt.

ADetailer works with both txt2img and img2img modes of Stable Diffusion. In txt2img mode, you can use ADetailer to generate an image from a text prompt and automatically inpaint any problematic regions. In img2img mode, you can use ADetailer to enhance an existing image or add creative effects to it.

What are some use cases of ADetailer?

ADetailer can help you with a variety of image enhancement tasks:

  • Fixing distorted faces or hands in your generated images. For example, if you generate a full-body image of a person using a v1 model, you may encounter garbled faces due to the low resolution and the limited pixels. ADetailer can automatically detect and inpaint the faces for you, making them look more realistic and natural. [Learn More]
  • Changing the background or the style of your images. For example, if you want to change the background of an image from day to night, or from realistic to artistic, you can use ADetailer to mask the foreground objects and inpaint the background with a different prompt. You can also use ADetailer to modify the style of your images, such as making them look more cartoonish or abstract. [Learn More]
  • Adding or removing objects from your images. For example, if you want to add a hat or a sunglasses to a person’s image, or remove a watermark or a logo from an image, you can use ADetailer to mask the region where you want to add or remove the object and inpaint it with a suitable prompt.
