LanPaint - Zero-Training AI Image Inpainting Tool

What is LanPaint?

LanPaint is a high-quality image inpainting tool designed for the Stable Diffusion model, capable of achieving precise image restoration and replacement without the need for additional training. LanPaint optimizes the inpainting effect through multi-round iterative inference, supporting seamless and accurate restoration results. It offers an easy-to-use integration method, consistent with the ComfyUI workflow, allowing users to simply replace the default sampler node to get started. LanPaint provides various parameter adjustments to adapt to inpainting tasks of different complexities, such as adjusting inference steps and content alignment strength. Suitable for a range of scenarios from simple replacements to complex damage restoration, LanPaint is a powerful tool for enhancing image generation quality.

Main Features of LanPaint

Zero-Training Image Inpainting: Works seamlessly with any Stable Diffusion model, including user-customized models, to achieve high-quality image restoration without additional training.

Simple Integration: Fully compatible with ComfyUI's KSampler workflow, allowing users to easily replace the default sampler node for quick access to high-quality restoration.

High-Quality Restoration: Utilizes multi-round iterative inference to optimize the connection between the restored area and the original image, achieving natural and seamless restoration effects.

Flexible Parameter Adjustment: Offers various advanced parameters (such as inference steps, content alignment strength, noise mask, etc.) for fine-tuning according to the complexity of the task.

Technical Principles of LanPaint

Simulating the Model's "Thinking" Process with Iterative Inference: Before each denoising step, multiple rounds of iterative inference (controlled by the LanPaint NumSteps parameter) are conducted to gradually optimize the generated content of the restored area.

Content Alignment and Constraints: The LanPaint Lambda parameter controls the content alignment strength between the restored and un-restored areas, ensuring a natural visual transition and avoiding noticeable splicing marks.

Dynamic Adjustment of Noise Mask: Dynamically adjusts the strength of the noise mask (controlled by LanPaint StepSize) during the iteration process to better guide the model in generating the content of the restored area, avoiding distortion caused by over-generation.

Advanced Parameter Optimization: Adjusts parameters such as LanPaint_cfg_BIG (CFG scale of the restored area) and LanPaint_Friction (friction coefficient) to optimize the restoration effect, balancing restoration quality and generation speed.

Binary Mask Processing: Requires the input mask to be a binary mask (values of 0 or 1) to avoid generation issues caused by transparency or gradients, ensuring clear and definite boundaries of the restored area.

Application Scenarios of LanPaint

Image Restoration and Damage Recovery: Used for restoring old photos, damaged images, or removing scratches and stains from images to restore their integrity and clarity.

Content Replacement and Editing: Quickly replaces specific elements in an image, such as changing the color of a person's clothing or replacing items in a scene, for creative image editing or visual effect optimization.

Artistic Creation and Design: Modifies or perfects local details in paintings or adjusts image content according to creative needs, helping artists and designers quickly realize their ideas.

Advertising and Commercial Image Processing: Quickly adjusts backgrounds, props, or character elements in product display images for different marketing needs, enhancing the attractiveness of visual effects.

Video Frame Restoration and Editing: Used for restoring key frames in videos to optimize or repair video content, such as removing distracting elements or repairing damaged video frames.
