The Stable Diffusion prompt typing assistant is a Chrome extension that helps users write better prompts to generate high-quality AI images using Stable Diffusion. As playing with AI image generation takes time to experiment with different prompt combinations, this extension aims to suggest relevant keywords and modifiers during prompt writing to create astonishing images faster.
How the Extension Works
The extension uses natural language processing to analyze the prompt as you type and recommends related words and phrases to include. This saves time instead of manually trying multiple prompts through trial and error.
It also provides examples of full prompts for different types of images like serene forest scenes, futuristic cityscapes, vintage portraits etc. Users can browse them for inspiration.
The extension integrates with other tools like a image browser and the DALL-E model to further assist in composing unique prompts.
Prompt Structure
Effective Stable Diffusion prompts generally have the following structure:
Subject: The main focus like a person, animal or scene
Modifiers: Descriptions of attributes like art style, color scheme, framing etc.
Negative Prompts (not yet supported): Terms to exclude like watermarks
Here is an example prompt:
A red fox sitting in a forest clearing in autumn, matte painting trending on artstation, sharp focus, illustration by Greg Rutkowski and Thomas Kinkade
This includes the subject (red fox), modifiers (forest clearing in autumn, matte painting style, sharp focus etc.) that describe the desired image.
Helpful Prompt Engineering Tips
When writing your own prompts, keep these tips in mind:
- Use clear unambiguous language. Avoid terms with multiple interpretations.
- Leverage the extension’s DALL-E model to validate if a prompt generates the intended output before using it with Stable Diffusion.
- Use the image browser to find good examples of images closer to what you have in mind. Reference the prompt used to create it.
- Save your best prompts for later reuse and refinement.
- Use descriptive modifiers but not too many that it confuses the AI.
- For abstract concepts, include links to example images in the prompt.
Alternative Tools
