AI image generation has burst into the mainstream over the past year or two. And while there are numerous offerings out there from companies like OpenAI, and Midjourney, most of these services are offered only via an API. Which presents challenges when it comes to their flexbility, and can result in high costs for businesses wanting to use them. Stable Diffusion from Stability AI, however, can be run locally (or hosted in the cloud on your own VM via a service like RunPod or Replicate).
This makes Stable Diffusion a uniquely powerful tool for both artists and businesses looking to harness the power of generative art. As a local program it offers a high degree of control and security. And thanks to powerful features like Dreambooth and KoyahSS, it is possible to fine-tune or evenly completely custom-train models that specialize in a specific type of image creation.
While the learning curve can be steep, the rewards of offer are great. The ability to iterate through image ideas quickly, and to create bespoke content at both a speed and cost never before possible, makes Stable Diffusion an exciting offering for almost any individual or commercial product in need of original art.
Below are a range of my tutorials, reviews, and articles covering various aspects of image and video generation using Stable Diffusion. I also offer 1-2-1 training, and commercial services. For further information please visit my services page.
