auto-sd-paint-ext VS gimp-stable-boy

It makes more sense to embed stable diffusion capabilities into well-established image editors such as Gimp, Photoshop, Krita, or Figma, which come with layered, non-destructive functionalities, rather than attempting the opposite approach.

You might be interested in knowing that Krita has a SD plug in that I've found works quite well if you're willing and able to install and run SD locally. Krita is now my primary art program. https://github.com/Interpause/auto-sd-paint-ext

Yep, Krita has a SD plugin too ( https://github.com/Interpause/auto-sd-paint-ext ) but probably not as good as this Photoshop one yet.

Again in my humble opinion, however, it's nice to be able to choose (at least if you're willing to pay the subscription costs) among different models and algorithms. Use whatever suits best your needs or your ideas. I personally prefer SD's versatility, and the workflows enabled by "being able to get my hands on all the parameters", like sampler selection, CFG scale, inpainting and other stuff (have you tried InvokeAI's unified canvas or Automatic1111's Krita plugin?). Not to mention the ability to do progressive and potentially infinite upscaling of an image (Automatic1111's "SD upscale" script or InvokeAI's "Embiggen").

I have a simple question that apparently i cant seem to figure out for the past like 12 hours, im using the https://github.com/Interpause/auto-sd-paint-ext auto extension for the krita plugin, and im simply just trying to inpaint creatures and just general things into a scene, but no matter what i do, the result is nothing like it, i followed the inpainting tutorial they have listed on github (New layer from visible) then make a new layer to paint the mask on, tried all fill methods with different steps, im fairly new to all of this and what not, im using a custom model checkpoint btw if that matters (protogen 5.8)

Not exactly like Adobe demoed it recently with Photoshop, but there is Stable Boy (https://github.com/thndrbrrr/gimp-stable-boy) and other plugins that use third party APIs. You can in this way use Stable Diffusion with Img2Img and inpainting in GIMP for generative fill, but you'd still have to craft prompts. Future versions that incorporate the latest achievements around SD should eventually get us there.

Try it out with Stable Boy: https://github.com/tgiesselmann/gimp-stable-boy

For GIMP, the current best extension is stable-boy, and here's what it can do. It basically provides a way to access Stable Diffusion directly from GIMP, instead of having to shuffle your images back and forth between the AI's web UI and your image editing program.

Don’t know if it functions the same way but I saw this one on here a while back https://github.com/tgiesselmann/gimp-stable-boy

Other folks also reported an issue on Windows. Starting GIMP from command line to see any error messages or log files would be helpful. Also, could you share your complete GIMP plugin search path?
