Image Privacy Settings

Exclusive to Leonardo AI subscribed users, you have the privilege to designate your images as private or public. Private images retain exclusive rights with the creator, whereas public images may be utilized by other users and Leonardo.AI in various forms. It's important to consider that once an image's status is set upon creation, it cannot be toggled between public and private. This feature is a benefit available solely to Leonardo AI paid subscribers. Learn more about this in Leonardo AI detailed guide.

Choosing Image Sizes

Here, you can select from an array of size options for your creations. Opt for standard dimensions, use the aspect ratio tool, or customize dimensions with the slider for width and height to fit your specific needs.

Please be aware that some models are optimized for specific dimensions, and deviating from these may lead to suboptimal outcomes. Should the chosen size be incompatible, a yellow caution icon will notify you of potential issues.

Guidance Intensity

Utilize the slider to adjust the guidance intensity between 1 and 20. This setting determines the influence your prompts have on the generated image. Be cautious: excessively high or low guidance may lead to undesirable features in your artwork. Leonardo AI recommend starting with a range of 7 to 9 for balanced outcomes, but experimenting is key to tailor the results to your preference.

• Depth2Image: Instructs the AI to create imagery based on the perceived depth in the uploaded picture.

High-Resolution Enhancement (Exclusive to Alchemy)

This feature enriches the output resolution through Alchemy's specialized diffusion process, transcending standard upscaling to enhance image quality. However, it may occasionally reduce the accuracy of prompt adherence.

Domain Expansion (Alchemy Exclusive)

Enabling this can improve the strictness of prompt adherence within Alchemy, yet it may introduce visual anomalies, such as misplaced or distorted elements. With this option turned off, images tend to have a more harmonious composition, though they may diverge slightly from the prompt's specifics. Users are encouraged to explore both settings to find their preferred balance.

Contrast Amplification (Specific to Alchemy)

Use this tool to intensify the dynamic range of your images in Alchemy, giving stark contrast to colors and tones, ideal for thematic creations like 'gothic' styles.

Detail and Adherence Tuning - Resonance (Alchemy Specific)

This setting fine-tunes the sharpness and prompt precision of images. A higher resonance may cause extraneous details or anomalies, while a lower setting might lead to more abstract interpretations by the model. Values between 10 and 15 are generally recommended, but personal testing is encouraged for optimal results.
