First, let's start with a website: https://rightbrain.art/imageToImage#
Advantages:#
- First of all, it's free, no need to spend money to buy an account.
- No need for magic internet access, those who understand, understand.
- Low threshold, directly use Chinese, no need to translate into English.
- There is a large library of models, no need to be troubled by prompts.
- Can modify and generate locally, this is MJ's shortcoming.
- Can generate poses, pose whatever you want.
Text-to-Image#
Everyone is already familiar with text-to-image, but in Vega AI, when using text-to-image, you first select a model, then add text descriptions, and you can quickly generate images with high consistency. In this regard, it is much better than Midjourney.
Take a look at the two sets of images below. Do they look familiar? Some people say that these images are vulgar and intolerable, and I also think so. But in fact, some people on Xiaohongshu (a Chinese social media platform) quickly gained over 100,000 followers using these images. Some public accounts don't even have substantial content and only post such images every day. The speed at which they gain followers is beyond reach for someone like me who writes valuable content every day. The generation of these images is definitely not done using Midjourney or Stable Diffusion, as they are too slow. They are all generated using Vega AI, with good effects and sufficient quantity. It only took me 4 minutes to generate the two sets of images below...

Image-to-Image#
Image-to-image is what we commonly refer to as "matting". In Vega AI, you can directly send the images generated by text-to-image to image-to-image, and then you can choose a model you like to generate the style you want with just one click. The process is super convenient.

Image-to-Image supports local modifications#
What's even more amazing is that Vega AI's image-to-image also supports local modifications. You just need to use a brush to mark the area you want to modify, and then modify the new description. This allows for easy outfit changes. The most important thing is that the parts outside the marked area will not change at all, maintaining the complete consistency of the main image. This is much more accurate than Midjourney, where any changes, big or small, will affect the overall image.

Conditioned Image-to-Image#
Conditioned image-to-image allows you to directly colorize line drawings, or even provide only an image feature or depth map, and it can generate images that meet the conditions you provide. It's like a miracle in minutes. Let's take a look at the effect when we change to a male subject (Note: The line drawings used in the following examples are from the internet. If there is any infringement, please let me know and I will delete them immediately!).

Pose-to-Image#

Pose well and add a description to generate an image
Control the pose, and the character's art style is up to you
Style Customization#
The most powerful feature, in my opinion, is here. You can train the model using a large number of images of the same type. The more images you feed it, the more accurate the style model trained in the end. This model training, which does not require programming skills, is quite user-friendly and extremely powerful. Once you train a style model you like, you can have as many images with the same style as you want. Now you know how those batch-produced beautiful girl images are created.
Training a style model is like having a batch printer.
Vega AI's Style Plaza provides a massive collection of style models that can be used directly.
Finally, this article only scratches the surface and serves as an introduction. From the perspective of overall image quality and artistic aspects, Vega AI may still have some gaps compared to AI painting models like Midjourney and Stable Diffusion. However, its convenience and low threshold are better. Due to space limitations, there are many other features of Vega AI that I haven't introduced. Those who are interested can explore them on their own and exchange ideas with each other.
