Reference Image

A Reference Image is a conditioning input that guides composition, structure, or aesthetics during generation. It is central to Style Reference workflows and Multi-image Conditioning.

  • Find Similar Designs

    AI

    Find Similar Designs is an AI retrieval feature that helps teams discover visually related assets in large files or libraries. It supports consistency by linking discovery to your Design System and optional Style Reference inputs.

  • Text-to-Image Generation

    AI

    Text-to-Image Generation creates visuals directly from prompt instructions. Most modern systems rely on a Diffusion Model and can be steered using a Reference Image.

  • Style Reference

    AI

    Style Reference lets you guide the aesthetic of generated assets by pointing the model to example visuals. It is frequently combined with Reference Image inputs in Text-to-Image Generation workflows.

  • Multi-image Conditioning

    AI

    Multi-image Conditioning uses several images as control inputs for one generation task, improving consistency across outputs. It extends single Reference Image workflows in Text-to-Image Generation.

  • Generative Expand

    AI

    Generative Expand increases image boundaries and predicts plausible continuation beyond original edges. It is commonly used alongside Generative Fill in broader Text-to-Image Generation workflows.

  • ControlNet

    AI

    ControlNet augments diffusion generation with explicit structural conditions such as edges, depth, or pose. It improves control in Diffusion Model systems and often uses cues from Image Segmentation.

  • Segment Anything Model (SAM)

    AI

    Segment Anything Model (SAM) produces masks from points, boxes, or text-like prompts for rapid object selection. It underpins modern Image Segmentation workflows and improves control in Reference Image editing.

  • DreamBooth

    AI

    DreamBooth is a personalization method that fine-tunes a model to generate consistent renderings of a chosen subject. It is a specialized form of Fine-tuning used in Subject-Driven Generation.

  • Subject-Driven Generation

    AI

    Subject-Driven Generation aims to keep a specific person, product, or character consistent across new generated scenes. It is often implemented with DreamBooth and guided by a Reference Image.
