In this tutorial, I will show you step by step how use FLUX.1 Fill model (inpainting model) to do perfect outpainting (yes this model used for outpainting) and inpainting. Moreover, I will show all features of FLUX Redux model to do style transfer / re-imagine 1 and more than 1 images combination. Furthermore, I will show you step by step how to convert input image into Depth or Canny maps and then how to use them on #FLUX Depth and Canny models.

SwarmUI is as easy and as advanced as Automatic1111 SD Web UI. Biggest advantage of SwarmUI is that, it uses ComfyUI as a back-end. Therefore, It is extremely fast, VRAM optimized and supports all of the newest SOTA models as soon as they are published.

So in this tutorial I will show you how to setup SwarmUI and FLUX Dev tools on your Windows Computer, Massed Compute, RunPod and Kaggle. I will step by step explanatin and show you every tips and tricks that you need to properly do style transfer, re-imagine, inpaint, outpaint, depth and canny with FLUX.
