P: Negative prompting

In the text to image part, I didn't find a place to cancel prompts like in stable diffusion. Often we have artifacts with double faces or eyes in the wrong places. It depends on the channels I think but it could be efficient and necessary to add this function. Or maybe add a basic lexicon for prompts if we have to use No in front of cancels or others basic operations.

 

Thank you for your job, im a teacher and i think you are the best to create an democratic useful app for commons users

Needs to honor negative prompts such as "no text".

Yes, that is a great strategy, and should be implemented.

I prompted an elaborate scene:
"Blonde sleek long-haired celebrity actress dressed in a very elegant dress walks up stairs for an award ceremony in a beautifully decorated theater filled with a lot of guests. Dress is neither white nor ivory. Oblique side view from a distance with audience partly in view. Both shoes match in style and color."
I tried several prompts but I have a hard time to obtain a dress that is not white even when I explicitly state "neither white nor ivory". When I use "colorful dress" it becomes better but all the dresses have a very strong bias of being created in white or contain white.

Ive seen this is other programs by just putting a hyphen in front of -pink for no pink. This is also the way to do it in google search and other such programs so it would feel intuitive for it to be like this.

1:1 ratio is more accurate at first shot compared to other ratios, only visible if change Ratio while keeping same text.

Thank you for your feedback. I am moving this to the Negative prompt thread but I have also noted your comment on 1:1 aspect ratio being more accurate than others. Thanks!

I experienced difficulty while defining what I do not want to be included in the image generated. For excample I want a still life background with shapes but no product. There is a keyword in stock photography to define images without people - "no one". So there should be a mechanism to better define what you want out of the image. So if I search group of animals and it shows a great result but there is a green frog I don't want in, it should be great to be able to dial it in better. At this time if I include something like no whairs it will actually add the item.
Love the product will use it for sure.

I'm finding a lot of situations where the ability to say "no, I don't want this" would be super beneficial.

For example, the prompt I am working on right now, I keep getting people with hats on their heads and/or masks on their faces. I'd really like to say "no hats, no masks" to keep them from being produced.

 

Hopefully this is something already in the works!

Thank you for your feedback. Right now, the model doesn't understand negative prompts, so adding it to a prompt will add it to your image. You can use the parameter "[avoid=xxx]" in your prompt where xxx is the thing you want the image to veer away from.

feel either in the prompt use --no or a UI option for that. Saw people bring that up in discord also.
