Text-to-Image Generation
While Fater excels at editing existing visuals, its Text-to-Image capabilities within the Image Editor also allow you to generate new elements or scenes based on your text descriptions (prompts). These can be created on a blank canvas or, more commonly, generated with the intention of integrating them into an existing project.
When to Use Text-to-Image
Generating entirely new objects or characters to composite into your scene.
Creating background elements or textures.
Visualizing concepts or specific items described in text.
Quickly producing options for elements before detailed editing.
Workflow for Generating New Elements with Text-to-Image
Prepare Your Canvas & Context:
Generation Area Bounding Box: Adjust the bounding box on the canvas to define the area and aspect ratio where you want the new element to be generated.
If generating into an existing scene, position and size this box where the new element should appear.
If generating a standalone element, the box defines its initial canvas.
Existing Layers (Optional Context): Models in the "Generate" category can sometimes be influenced by visible content within the Generation Area, even if their primary input is the text prompt. If you want a completely clean generation, you might temporarily hide other layers or work in a separate Layer Workspace. However, for generating elements intended to fit an existing scene, leaving relevant context visible can be beneficial.
Select a Text-to-Image Model:
Go to the Model Selector in the Left Sidebar.
Choose the "Generate" category tab (✨ icon).
Typically, you'll select a model from the "Basic" SubCategory for general text-to-image tasks (e.g., "Medium [Generate/Basic]" or "Turbo [Generate/Basic]").
Configure Model-Specific Parameters:
In the Left Sidebar, adjust parameters for the chosen model, such as:
Steps
Guidance Scale
Seed
(Other parameters specific to the selected "Generate" model).
Write a Detailed Text Prompt:
In the Floating Prompt Area, write a clear prompt describing the element or scene you want the AI to create within the Generation Area.
(Refer to Text Prompts & Negative Prompts for tips).
Enter a Negative Prompt in the model's parameter panel (if available).
Initiate Generation:
Click the Generate button (✨ Sparkles icon) in the Floating Prompt Area.
Review and Use Results:
The first generated image is automatically added as a new layer at the top of your layer stack, filling the defined Generation Area.
Thumbnails for all generated outputs appear in the Generation Task List.
Click a different thumbnail to swap the current result layer. You can then move, scale, mask, and integrate this new layer into your broader composition.
While Fater's primary strength is often in editing existing real-world imagery, its Text-to-Image models offer a flexible way to introduce entirely new AI-generated content into your projects.
