Stable Diffusion Outpainting Tutorial: Extend Your Art with ControlNet

Ever wanted to see what's beyond the frame of your favorite AI generation? In this tutorial, I show you how to perform "Outpainting" using Stable Diffusion and ControlNet Inpaint within the Automatic1111 web UI.

I demonstrate the "Resize and Fill" method to expand your images vertically or horizontally, effectively drawing new content outside the original boundaries. You'll learn how to use BLIP captioning to generate accurate prompts for the new areas and how to refine the final results using Image-to-Image for a seamless blend.
