When drawing on the image box, you can use your drawing tablet also to make it easier for you to draw.

Presets Tab: This tabs helps the AI on how much close the output will be influenced from the data you input from the left. From the pro option which means how close the output is from the image in the left to the wild option how freely the out put image will be generated.

Tools Tab: Located at the left of your chroma dashboard, these are the simple set set of tools to help you draw the image you want.

Description Box: Just like all AI image generation platforms, this is where you type anything you want to guide the AI on what image you want. You can also click the icon on the left for advanced options for more control of the final output.

Layers: Located at the top right of your chroma dashboard, you can add more layers for more control on making the base image on the left.

Using The Platform:

There are multiple ways on how to generate images using Alpaca Ai on the web.

Text-To-Image - You can use Alpaca as a simple text-to-image AI generator like other AI image platforms out there. Just write a prompt on the text box without drawing in the image box.

Image-To-Image - You can also generate images by simply drawing on the image box or importing an image without writing anything on the text box. Note that when importing an image without adding text prompts, this only changes the style of the image imported.

Combination - To maximize your creativeness, using text prompts and image box is better as you get closer to getting the image output that you want. You can also import an image or multiple images, use layers and draw atop of it.

You can also reuse your generated image within the platform as a basis for a new image output. Once you created an image from text just hover your mouse on the output image and an arrow will appear between the two image boxes. Simply click the arrow and your output image will now be the reference image. You can draw over the image and add more details on the prompt description box to make a new image.
