Above the images, you can choose what to show, Hot means the most popular images. If you find some images you like, you could hover your mouse on the picture and light up the heart, then this picture will be collected to the “Likes” tap, you could find your favorite images here.

You can also search for images by typing the possible prompt words for the images you want to search for. For example, I want to generate a dog as the major object in the image:

PicLumen will show all images that contain the character “dog” in the prompt.

2. In “Create” you could generate your images:

Parameters of PicLumen

Aspect Ratio

Users have totally 13 aspect ratio options. When hovering the mouse over it, users can see the detailed size of the image.

Generation Model

PicLumen has two generation models.

Numbers of Images

This means that the number of images generated in a single. The fewer they are, the shorter the generation time.

Advanced Parameters

• Negative Prompt: specify what you don’t want to show in the generated image.
• CFG Scale: Control how strongly your text prompt affects the generated image.
• Steps: Determine the number of steps used to create an image; more steps can lead to more detailed results.
• Seed: The random seed value controls the initial noise of the latent image and, hence, the composition of the final image. Using the same seed with the same parameters will produce the same image, allowing for reproducibility.

Notice:

• Each of our models has well-tuned optimal original advanced parameters that normally do not need to be altered. If the generated results are not sufficiently as expected, the users can adjust advanced parameters to get better results.
• IMPORTANT! If users click remix, then all the generated images will keep the parameters the same as the ones you choose to click remix. If you need the advanced parameters back to the original parameters, click “reset”.

How to generate images with PicLumen

Text to Image

There is no difference between PicLumen and the commercially available text-to-image feature, which is to select the model and set parameters, enter text prompts, and then the user gets the results.

Image to Image

PicLumen’s image-to-image feature is different from others. After uploading an image, users can choose the things they want to refer to:

Content Reference:

It will keep the core content of the uploaded image intact, combining your text prompts to change colors, restyle the image, turn sketches into masterpieces, etc.

For example, on the left is the uploaded image, and I choose “Content Ref,” then I enter the prompt “woodblock print, people standing on the beach, strong contrasting colors, a town on fire.” Then, I get the result on the right.

Style Reference:

PicLumen will mimic the style of the uploaded image, blending it with your text prompts to generate a new stunning AI art.

Character Reference:

This will maintain consistent characters across your images with ease. Use our image to image ai generator to give images a new expression by combining text prompts without changing the characters.

Note: For character reference, users should upload an unobstructed picture of the face.

FLUX.1

FLUX.1 is based on text-to-image, so if you upload an image, the uploaded image will not take effect.

FLUX AI enhances text comprehension by producing accurate, descriptive images with realistic styles, reducing text errors, and enhancing the understanding of complex prompts.

• Superior Detail:

• Enhanced Text Comprehension:

• Improved Text Generation:

Other tools of PicLumen

1. Remove Background

PicLumen can remove the background of its generated images.

2. HD-Fix

HD Fix function makes it easy to improve image resolution and definition. Instantly double your image size and fix common issues with faces for a better result.

Note: this function is only available for PicLumen’s own models: Reality, Anime and Lineart.

3. Remix

Remix means that you can copy the prompt, model and all parameters of the exist image. Usually the user clicks on remix in order to generate new images of the same model again without changing the parameters; of course it is also possible to only change the model and then generate an image in different style.
