Your AI-generated Art

Flux Kontext DEV has just been released by Black Forest Labs. DEV is the open source model that you can download and run on your local PC for free. Kontext Pro and Max has already been out for a couple of weeks as paid options on various online platforms.

In a nutshell, it's a model that allows you to make contextual changes to input images. You could for example insert characters into scenes, upscale old photos, fix damaged images, re-style images from one style into another. Quite similar to what people have been doing with ChatGPT lately, but this seems to be a bit more precise.

As one of my tests, I set about to take an input image and modify its lighting and mood with prompts. In this example, the top image is my "baseline" - an original photo I took with a Canon EOS750d, from 2017. Quite dramatic and colourful.

I wanted to test to make it more boring / ordinary - which is what I got in the second image, by telling flux to remove the clouds, put the sun overhead, brighten the foreground and make it a "midday" photo. And so... this is what I got.

Then, I wanted a different kind of "dramatic" shot, so I told Flux to turn it into a night time scene with a storm raging, rain falling, dark, stormy and dramatic... and this was what I got :

I am beyond impressed.

Special hardware requirements? Please tell me it runs on anything else besides Windows.?

There are various options. I use it on ComfyUI which runs on a few platforms, including Windows, Linux, MacOS. Works best with Nvidia / Cuda.
