you can create awesome AI text effects using stable diffusion. Check out how cool these examples are, and by the end of this video, you will be able to create similar kind of imagery. This is a pretty easy tutorial. All you need is two things: stable diffusion and control net. I've made an entire video about installing stable diffusion, so check it out if you don't have it already. And the second thing is control net. We will be looking into installing it soon. By the way, I also wrote an article on this exact same topic on my blog createxa.com. If you prefer reading, you can follow it and also check out some extra imagery that I don't show here. Now, if you have control net installed, you can skip to the next timestamp. If not, here is how to install control net. If it's easier, look at the article to follow the steps. We'll be installing SD VB UI control net extension for automatic 1111. The GitHub page also includes installation process and some other tips and information. First, we need to go to the extensions.

tab, select the Install from URL tab, and paste this link. So, here we go to the extension, pasting the link, and then click the Install button. Wait for the message saying that the extension is installed. It can take a few minutes. Then, you can restart automatic 1111 web UI by closing the terminal. So, you need to completely restart it. You could also check for updates in the Install tab. And if there are any updates available for control net, click Apply and restart UI to updated. Now, you should be able to see a new control net tab. It's right above the scripts usually. And here you can drop your reference image, select all the pre-processors that were probably all installed already automatically, and a model. Last time I checked, models need to be downloaded separately. So, we need to go to the models page and download download all the files with extension. pth. You can download some of them or all of them, but for this tutorial, we need depth. So, make sure to have it installed. After you download it, drop it into the control Nets extensions models directory.

stable diffusion web UI extensions SD web UI control net and models. As you can see, I have a bunch here. Most models say SD15 somewhere in the name, but if you want to use it for SDXL, there are also XL models available that you can download. We have depth here as well, and there are also things like T2i models that you can download, but we really just need depth for this tutorial. Next up, preparing text. Before you can generate cool looking text effects inside stable diffusion, you need to prepare some JPEG or PNG files with the text you want to transform. You can create your text file in any photo editing software like Photoshop if you have the subscription, or Canva. Canva is free, and this is what I'm using right now. You can see all these examples of text that I created for this tutorial. So, create a new empty page in the size you want to generate AI art with. I use 1920 x 1080, but any will work. Just remember the ratio for your later AI generations.

type in the word you want to use. It can be anything, but the more words you include, the harder it will be for Stable Diffusion to get all the letters correctly. As we will see soon, pick a font that will complement your idea. For example, a handwritten font would work great for ropes, noodles, wines, toothpaste, and stuff like that. A blocky, thick font will do better with rocks, bread, ice cubes, and so on. If you want the text effect to be the main point of an image, make it larger and centered. Or you can also make it smaller in place to the side if you want other elements or portraits inside. Also, then just download all these files as JPEG or PNG files, and you're ready to begin generating. So we're going to go to Sable Diffusion, select your width and height that are the same ratio as the text files you created. I did 1024 by 576 as it's the same ratio as 1920 x 1080. Then inside Control Net, we can drop our text. Make sure to click enable.

like to also select Pixel Perfect right now. As you can see, there's no difference at all. But in the preprocessor, we have to select invert and then model depth. And when we click to preview the pre-processor results, we can see that the text and the background were inverted. And this is exactly what we need for this tutorial. And all these settings stay basically as they were. So now it's just a matter of selecting a seed, writing your prompt, negative prompt, picking your checkpoint, and hitting generate. And here we have adorable ghosts that say boo. So another thing to look at is the ending control step. How soon in the process do you want control net to stop affecting the AI generation? It could be helpful to play with it so that the results are more unique and don't simply follow the text. So the original one was one, which means it goes 100% control net is affecting the generation for all these steps. When we lower it to 0.5 at about step 12 or 13 out of 25, control net stops affecting.

the generation. And when we run it again, you could see that the difference is not huge, but there's definitely more changes in the second one compared to the first one. And if we go to something like 0.2, look how it starts with a text, but then completely disregards it. And now we just have adorable ghosts. If we do 0.35, it stays for a longer period of time, but then once again completely disregards the shape. So that's something to play around with. So when we look at all the results for buo, you can see how stable diffusion transforms the text to fit your prompt, but keeps the shape of the text image, which is pretty cool. I also did happy Halloween by adding prompts like pumpkins and bats. You can see how right away the text of happy Halloween was prepared for anything that would be thrown at it because it's appropriate for what we're looking for. For Year 3000, I did the Highlight option. Stable diffusion can also work with that and turn it into kind of a light.

turned out all right now for fire. Check out this font. The generation looks like this, and I think it's super, super cool how it turned out. Now, a font that's thin lines like this, thin but large, kind of reminds me of gates. So, I decided to do like a gold and Golden Gates or golden Vines, and that turned out pretty cool. Pop, this is a perfect font for something round and soft and fluffy or something like bubbles. So, I decided to go with bubbles for this one, and I think they turned out really nice. Now, for this one, I wanted to test if we could do a quote, and the results were all right, with the larger text being mostly visible, mostly correct, but the Crea x.com at the bottom is all messed up, so the size of the text is a bit too small for this generation. Here is a list of fun prompts to try: water, fire, pretzel, noodles, gum, bubbles, rocks, gold, wood, ice, neon, toothpaste, clouds, flower. I hope that at least one of them interests you, and you will test.

it with your own idea, but I still want to emphasize that the text font you select will be very important and will determine whether or not the result works out. Now, let's talk about using multiple control nets to kind of have more power over the final image. So, I went to Unsplash and found a photo of water that I liked, downloaded it, and dropped it into the control net unit one. I decided to test it by running the second control net unit at 0.5 control weight, and then I'm just copying everything from an image I already generated so I can compare the two after I run them. So, here was the text. It says water, and here was the final generation with just one control net. Now, if we use the second one at 0.5 weight, we get results like these by adding depth with an ocean reference image. We can see that the biggest difference is that of composition, but the image itself didn't turn out as well as without the second control net, so don't think the more, the better, you know.

sometimes that's not it at all, but using soft edge control net resulted in a stunning AI generation with a clear composition and lighting. I definitely like it better than the original. What about you? And the same idea applies to all the other ones. We have segmentation, Shuffle tile, instruct P2 2p. They all create completely unique compositions and colors and affect the image in all sorts of different ways. And I love looking these results. They are surprising and they're beautiful. You could really use an experiment with all of the control net pre-processors to get the most impressive results. I won't be going over what each one of them does or means, but probably a series of control n lessons will be coming soon. I've been working on collecting data and tests for a while now for control net. So if that's something you're interested in, make sure to subscribe so that you don't miss it when it finally comes out. Now another cool thing I wanted to show you is how to in paint text effects. Let's say we

got this image, and we really like it, but we don't want it to be called a fart shop or nart shop or whatever. Um, so I'm sure there's multiple ways of fixing it, but I want to show you how I would approach it. So first, I would send it to extras and upscale it. You don't necessarily need to do that, and your life would probably be easier if you don't, but this just something that I like to do. Then I drop that image inside Canva or Photoshop. And don't worry if the image doesn't fit exactly, you can still adjust the composition because of what I'm going to be showing you next. Once I'm happy with that, I like to create a shape and somehow cover the text that I don't like by just selecting a similar color to its outside. And that is about it. In Photoshop, you could do content-aware fill or something like that. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about if you use Photoshop. Then we write the text that we want. In this case, I

decided to go with Creax AI. This is the Creax AI shop. Finally, what we need to do is duplicate this entire thing and then delete the photo, delete the little background, and change the text to black. Now we have two images to work with, and I'm going to download both of them. So I'm going to go back to Stable Diffusion and send the original image to Inpaint so that all the settings and parameters are the same as previously, but I will swap in the new image we just created. Then, inside Control Net, I'm going to drop in the text. And the reason why we want to do it this way is so that Control Net shows Stable Diffusion where exactly the text is supposed to be, so it has to be properly aligned with the image. Do the usual settings, and in this case, I decided to go with only masked. When I hit generate, it starts generating, and now we have this text, but it's way too dark. And we can still play with it. We could, for example, decide not to invert, so just use none as a

pre-processor, and run it again. And then we have a little bit of a brighter text, but it still doesn't look perfect. You can play with it by adding other secondary models if you wanted to, or you could always select to go for the whole picture and hit generate. All right, so I upscaled it. So, it looks like it's going to take a while to generate, but basically because it's generating them at the same time in its entirety, it's probably going to look better. And I think this result is definitely the best out of all that we accomplished. And then you can apply the same thing to any other image like, let's say, a book cover or something. You can add whatever text that you want with this same idea. By the way, if you want the text to blend with the background more effectively, try lowering the control net weight like I showed you previously. I hope you enjoyed this quick stable diffusion text effects tutorial. Thank you for watching. And hey, if you're still here, check out this one next. Cheers.
