colorize drawings

[Julivgar]

An option that uploads a drawing and colorize it with AI.

Hello @Julivgar,

Thanks for your suggestion. This is actually possible now.  Here is an example.

I started with this image I created on Firefly some time ago as a colouring book image:

coloring page black and white line, santa handing lump of coal to youngster, white background

I then used this image as a composition reference and set the strength at its highest level. I used the prompt: "santa claus with elf handing out a present; red clothes, white beard, flat, coloured with crayon" with the styles: art, fantasy, simple, linocut, and sketch and generated this image:

santa claus with elf handing out a present; red clothes, white beard, flat, coloured with crayon

My best,

can you tell me the process on how to do this step by step? I can't find the option to upload image.

Hi @Julivgar,

Yes.

I started with this image I created about a year ago. You can click the prompt to go to that image and see the styles and prompt:

coloring page black and white line, santa handing lump of coal to youngster, white background 

I downloaded that image from firefly to my local disk.

Then I created a new prompting page. I uploaded the colouring book page as a Composition Reference:

I moved the strength slider all the way to the right.

Then I used the prompt: "santa claus with elf handing out a present; red clothes, white beard, flat, coloured with crayon" and used the styles:

When you are using a composition reference, that shows before the styles.

Note, while I used model 2 to create the colouring book page, I used model 3 to colour it in.  

The result:

santa claus with elf handing out a present; red clothes, white beard, flat, coloured with crayon

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Too bad, it doesn't work for me. It says: "Your reference image violates Firefly user guidelines and was removed."

 

I Tried all your steps carefully but I guess this feature isn't working properly. I'll just have to color this image manually with Photoshop.

Thanks for your help nevertheless..

@Julivgar, Did you use that image as a style reference?  You should use it as a composition reference (which is blank in your image of Firefly with the error).

it automatically removed the image from the composition reference.

I'm not sure how to attach a video so I uploaded it to my Google Drive:

I'm guessing the image was too complicated for firefly to analyze that's why it didn't work.

@Julivgar,

Yes, we have seen errors with composition images with a lot of detail or fine lines. You might want to alter your composition image to have broader strokes and less detail.
