1. use the rectangular marquee tool and select square (1x1 ratio)
   1. in the selection tool you can set the ratio to something like 512x512 or 512x768
   2. just make sure the ratio of selection is equal to the size of the image you are generating.
2. Write a prompt and click "Generate".
3. The result will be resized to fit the selected area. But don't worry, the image will be loaded into photoshop as a smart object. So you can resize it without losing quality.

1. Select an image that is on its own layer.
   1. Optional: "Ctrl + click" the layer thumbnail. If you want the generated image to be place perfectly on the Initial image.
2. Change the mode to "img2img" in the plugin UI.
3. Click on "Set Init Image" button. If the image doesn't change to the selected layer. Click multiple times. (I'm fixing this problem)
4. Click on generate

1. Change the plugin mode to inpaint
2. Create a square selection on top of an image you want to inpaint:
   1. through the rectangular marquee tool
   2. or through "ctrl+click" the layer thumbnail
3. Create a new layer and paint white within the selected area. Note that anything white will be regenerated by Stable Diffusion.
4. Click "Init Inpaint Mask" button.
   1. Before clicking make sure you are still on the white layer
   2. after clicking the plugin will generate an appropriate black and white mask and set it as the mask to be used by Stable Diffusion.
   3. It will also create a snapshot of the canvas under the selected area, and will use this snapshot as the init image.
5. Click the "Generate" button.

1. change the plugin mode to inpaint. Remember, outpainting is just a special case of inpainting.
2. Create a "rectangular selction" that intersect with an image you want to extend.
3. Click on "Init Outpaint Mask" this will :
   1. create a snapshot of the canvas under your selection and use it as "init image" for Stable Diffusion
   2. create a black and white mask and will use it as the "init mask"
   3. it will update both the "init image" and the "init mask" in plugin UI

• To get the best result for inpainting and outpainting you must select the "stable-diffusion inpainting model"
• An "init image" of img2img must not have transparency in it.
• Always check the "init image" and the "init mask" in plugin UI and make sure they match the layers on the canvas. To fix a mismatch, do:
  • Select the "group_mask" in the layers panel and click on "set init mask" button.
  • Select the "group_init_image" in the layers panel and click on "set init image" button.
• After selecting a model, you may need to wait for it to be loaded in Stable Diffusion before you should hit Generate.
• Check the progress bar if it's stuck at 0% or 1%: You could always cancel/interrupt the request if you think it's taking too long and regenerated again.
• Don't open multiple photoshop documents. For now, this will break the plugin. Only work on one project at a time.
