Image-to-Image

An AI generation technique that uses an existing image as a reference to guide the creation of a new image with modified characteristics.

Image-to-image generation takes a source image and a text prompt, then produces a new image that preserves the compositional structure of the source while applying the requested changes. Low strength settings make minimal changes (subtle style transfer), while high strength settings produce dramatic transformations that loosely follow the original composition. This technique enables powerful creative workflows: transform a rough sketch into a photorealistic scene, change the season in a landscape photo, convert a daytime scene to nighttime, or apply an artistic style while preserving the subject's pose and composition. The source image provides spatial guidance that pure text-to-image generation lacks.
