FOSS Advent Calendar - Door 22: Unleash AI Art with Automatic1111

Meet Automatic1111, the powerful and accessible open source web interface that brings cutting edge Stable Diffusion AI image generation to your local machine. It puts the full creative potential of text to image models directly into your hands, with no external services or restrictions required.

Built as a comprehensive Gradio web UI, it transforms complex AI model operations into an intuitive visual workflow. Its true strength lies in its extensive feature set: from basic text prompts and image to image translation, to advanced techniques like inpainting, outpainting, custom model merging, and detailed hyperparameter tuning. Everything runs on your own hardware, ensuring complete privacy, ownership of your creations, and freedom to experiment without limits.

Whether you're an artist exploring new visual styles, a designer generating concepts, or simply curious about AI creativity, Automatic1111 provides the tools to generate, modify, and refine images with granular control.

Pro tip: Dive into extensions like ControlNet for precise pose and composition control, or train your own DreamBooth model to generate images in a unique personal style.

Don't really have the time to mess with it tonight, but I'm at least gonna install #SwarmUI so I can try it out tomorrow. Been having some issues with #Forge and there's no way I'm going back to regular #automatic1111 speeds for #StableDiffusion

I hear there might be an opening for governor of Minnesota. Or maybe just to play Tim Walz on SNL? #automatic1111

One thing is for sure, I'm no Peter Cushing... #automatic1111 #iaminstarwars

First experimentation with #automatic1111 and the 'roop' extension to do face swaps. Simple prompt to create an image of Han Solo, but used controlnet and roop to copy my (doughy) face onto the generated image. It deleted the glasses and did all the blending and color shifting of the face itself without user interaction. While the hair style is questionable, the eyes, nose, forehead all seem pretty credible.
