Introduction

The Canvas allows you to integrate image components together quickly without significant overpainting. Fix seams, add additional details, and refine your output, all while keeping your project organized.

Setting up your project

To start creating your project in Canvas, begin by clicking on the Canvas option located in the left-hand menu on the homepage. Once you're in the Canvas section, click on New Project to initiate a new project. You'll then be prompted to name your project and select your dedicated character model, as outlined in the Dress Up Game workflow.

After selecting your character model, click on the Upload option in the left-hand tab list and upload your base image. If desired, you can remove the background of your image by clicking on Remove BG while your image is selected. To add a white background, navigate to the Elements tab and choose a square shape. Customize the color to white and resize it as needed. Ensure the white square is placed as the bottom layer in your project.

Upload Outfit and Edit

Begin by navigating to the Upload tab in Canvas. Upload the outfit image you'd like to use for your character, and if the background has not been removed already, take a moment to do so. This will ensure that the outfit image is transparent and ready to be layered over your character.

Once your outfit image is prepared, center it over the character as you'd like them to appear in the final image. Make sure that the outfit image is in a layer above the character layer, so that the character is visible beneath the clothing. This will allow you to align the outfit accurately with your character's body.

Next, switch to the Sketch tab and select the Eraser tool. Ensure you are working on the outfit layer, and carefully erase any elements that you do not want to be included in your final image, such as the face, hair, or arms. Taking care with the edges during this step can help you avoid excessive iterations later on, making the process smoother and more efficient.

‍

Mask and Generate

To create a seamless blend between your original image and the uploaded outfit, start by selecting the Generate option. Mask out the areas where there are visible seams between the two images. Then, describe the character and outfit in your prompt using simple words, such as "A woman in a blue dress." Proceed to click on Reference Image and adjust the Influence setting to 15.

Finally, press Generate to create your new image with the desired outfit.

‍

Refine and Export

Obtaining your desired result may require a few iterations, depending on your personal preferences. To streamline the process for subsequent outfits, consider copying the layer for your back character and background, saving it for future use.

Once you're satisfied with your creation, select the layers you're working on and click Merge Layers. Proceed to click Save Image and export your image with the layers merged. To continue using this project for your next outfit, simply hide your finished outfit. The Canvas automatically saves your work, so there's no need to manually save it.
