Description

The generation of images using Artificial Intelligence is an area that is gaining a lot of attention, both from technology professionals and people from other areas who want to create their own custom images. The tools used for this purpose are based on advanced and modern techniques from machine learning and computer vision, which can contribute to the creation of new compositions with high graphic quality. It is possible to create new images just by sending a textual description: you ask the AI (artificial intelligence) to create an image exactly as you want! For example, you can send the text "a cat reading a book in space" and the AI will create an image according to that description! This technique has been gaining a lot of attention in recent years and it tends to growth in the next few years.

There are several available tools for this purpose and one of the most used is Stable Diffusion developed by StabilityAI. It is Open Source, has great usability, speed, and is capable of generating high quality images. As it is open source, developers have created many extensions that are capable of generating an infinite variety of images in the most different styles.

In this course you will learn everything you need to know to create new images using Stable Diffusion and Python programming language. See below what you will learn in this course that is divided into six parts:


  • Part 1: Stable Diffusion basics: Intuition on how the technology works and how to create the first images. You will also learn about the main parameters to get different results, as well as how to create images with different styles

  • Part 2: Prompt Engineering: You will learn how to send the proper texts so the AI understands exactly what you want to generate

  • Part 3: Training a custom model: How about putting your own photos in the most different environments? In this section you will learn how to use your own images and generate your avatars

  • Part 4: Image to image: In addition to creating images by sending texts, it is also possible to send images as a starting point for the AI to generate the images

  • Part 5: Inpainting - exchaning classes: You will learn how to edit images to remove objects or swap them. For example: remove the dog and replace it with a cat

  • Part 6: ControlNet: In this section you will implement digital image processing techniques (edge and pose detection) to improve the results

All implementations will be done step by step in Google Colab online with GPU, so you don't need a powerful computer to get amazing results in a matter of seconds! More than 50 lessons and more than 6 hours of videos!

Course Reviews

  1. I have enjoyed the course. It has basics of all models clearly explained.
  2. This has been excellent for a first dive into stable diffusion.
  3. Thank you so much for putting this together!
  4. What is the point of telling us something is not available and talking about it for a long time in the course ? We signed up for what is available. By the way stablediffusionweb.com is free to use anytime and its better than the mage and huggingface sites you provided
  5. Use of Google Collab is a major drawback of this course. It would have been much better if it was based on Automatic1111. Far too much of this is "you have to play around". In a way, the course could be summarized as "Stable Diffusion generates random images which the user has only very limited control over". The greatest strength of this course is that it's "better than nothing" (no other courses on Stable Diffusion on Udemy - I'll have to check again to see if anything else has been published).
