AI Art Remix: Reimagine Photos with Content Reference

AI Art Remix: Reimagine Photos with Content Reference. A Guide to Leonardo AI‘s new feature.

Imagine having an AI artist by your side, ready to transform your ideas into stunning visuals?

That’s the power of Leonardo AI’s Content Reference feature. It lets you take any image and use it as a foundation for your creative exploration.

Beyond the Surface: Semantic Guidance

This feature goes beyond simply copying an image. Using artificial intelligence, it understands the input image’s shapes, objects, and composition. This understanding acts as a guide, influencing the direction of the new image you create.

Hey everyone, welcome back to our channel today. Let us journey together on how to image remix with the Imagine AI art generator. So let us begin step number one: your creative expedition by entering your Imagine, AI art generator dashboard. Step number two: Look for the image: Remix icon right next to text to image; click on it; step number three: upload the image you want to remix.

Now. Let's add some magic forge, a prompt like an anime character as handsome as Gojo Satoru. Step number four: It's time to ignite the magic click, the generate button, and let AI work its wonders. Step number five: Behold the transformation. Compare the original image with the remix. If you're not satisfied, no worries; just click generate again for a different remix, and that's it, I hope.

Your Words, the Paintbrush: Directing Style and Color

Here’s where things get exciting. You control the artistic style and color palette with your text prompt. Want to turn a simple portrait into a vibrant pop art masterpiece? Just tell Leonardo AI! Content Reference is perfect for restyling existing images, giving them a fresh artistic touch.

The Power of Combination

The creative possibilities don’t stop there. You can combine Content Reference with another powerful tool: Style Reference. This lets you use one image for its content (shapes and objects) and another image for its overall style (brushstrokes, colors, textures). It’s like having two artistic influences working together to create something entirely new.

Unlocking Creative Potential: Here are some exciting ways you can leverage Content Reference:

  • Restyling Magic. Transform an old family photo into a classic painting, or give your product image a modern, minimalist makeover.
  • Variation Inspiration: Got a great image but want to explore different possibilities? Use Content Reference and tweak your text prompt to generate variations, each with a unique twist.
  • Text as Art: Have a favorite quote or poem? Turn it into a visually stunning piece of art using an image of the text as your content reference.

With Dreamshaper

Take an image from here. Hit remix, and if you want the same effect, you can see. We've got a coloring page for adults with bold lines and dark lines. We have some understanding of the actual prompt itself. Again, you can see they've used alchemy, dream-shaping, and a dynamic setting. So once again, we can go back and keep exploring here.

I'm a big fan of this style; they've used Dynamic Dream Shaper again, so Dream Shaper seems to be the most popular, but this is a great way again for starters to do basic remixes. So we've got here: wave of Ninjas.

I'm going to type in Darth Vader, also known as Sith Lord, and just see what results we get. Keeping everything else intact, I've got these cool Yukioa, Japanese-style Darth Vader images, which I think are very unique and very cool.

This is a great way to make little adjustments to images you find, but the other thing I really like about this is the templating. If I go back to my personal feed here and there's an image I made in the past that I really liked, let's say it's this image here now:

I'm not someone who goes nuts on the details. I have very short prompts, but I can go to remixes. I can go disable high res just for now, and I can then go cool. I like the settings of that that I used, and this time I can go for a powerful Jedi purple glow, and it's already picked.

Dreamshaper is dynamic, uh, alchemy: it picks all the settings I used, so instead of having to go through and set that up every time, I can use it as a templating method for future images. So I clicked Generate. So we get these cool images of a Jedi, similar style, purple, glowing, and lightsabers, but uh, I just thought I'd. Let me let you know that this is a very cool little feature, the remix feature.

So it's not really adding anything new in the sense of what you can do with Leonardo AI, but it shortcuts a lot. The idea is that you can take an image someone else has created and very quickly tweak its copy.

All those settings in one hit are pretty powerful. You can go through, learn new phrases, and learn what people are using in their negative prompts. You can then go through and see what settings people are using. If you find something unique, that's unique, and the settings are then unique to accompany it. You can use those settings to create your own image, and then you can use that image as a template for future images. So I thought that was a very cool feature to cover.

Making Creativity Accessible

Leonardo AI‘s Content Reference empowers you to bring your ideas to life no matter how experienced you are. It removes technical barriers and lets your imagination take center stage. So, unleash your inner artist and explore the endless possibilities of AI-powered image creation!
