Wow that's really impressive (I've seen similar things in research papers for a while now, but having it usable so easily and generic is great). A few questions: - would it be possible to use this tool to make automatic mask for editing in something like GIMP (for instance, if I want to automatically mask the hair)? - would it be possible to have a REPL or something else to make several prompt on the same image? Loading the model takes time, and it would be great to be able to just do it once. - how about a small GUI or webui to have the preview immediately? Maybe it's not the goal of this project and using `instruct-pix2pix` directly with its webui is more appropriate? Thanks for the work (including upstream people for the research paper and pix2pix), and for sharing.

  > GUIs add a lot of complexity. Can your file manager do thumbnails and quick previews? Somewhat OT, but I find this really funny. It says a lot about the difficulty of using various ecosystems and where communities spend time polishing things. "Yeah, I made something that takes natural language and can do things like change seasons in an image. But a GUI? That's complicated!" It's not a criticism of you, but the different ecosystems and what programmers like to focus on nowadays.

    Fair but I'd point out I also didn't make the algorithm that changes photos. I'm wrapping a bunch of algorithms that other people made in a way that makes them easy to use. It's not just that GUI's are hard, it's that the "customer" base will inevitably be much less technical and I'd receive a lot more difficult to resolve bug reports. So no-gui is also a way of staying focused on more interesting parts of the project.

  thanks for the quick answer and cool for REPL. Yeah sure I can just launch Gwenview on the output directory. > probably but GIMP plugins are not something I've looked into I was just thinking about a black and white or grey level output image with the desired area , no need to integrate it in GIMP of whatever. I've tried a prompt like "keep only the face", but no luck so far.

    There is a smart mask feature. Add `--mask-prompt face --mask-mode keep`. I believe it outputs the masks as well
