VAE Encode (for Inpainting)¶

VAE Encode For Inpainting node

The VAE Encode For Inpainting node can be used to encode pixel space images into latent space images, using the provided VAE. It also takes a mask for inpainting, indicating to a sampler node which parts of the image should be denoised. The area of the mask can be increased using grow_mask_by to provide the inpainting process with some additional padding to work with.

Info

This node is specifically meant to be used for diffusion models trained for inpainting and will make sure the pixels underneath the mask are set to gray (0.5,0.5,0.5) before encoding.

inputs¶

pixels: The pixel space images to be encoded.
vae: The VAE to use for encoding the pixel images.
mask: The mask indicating where to inpaint.
grow_mask_by: How much to increase the area of the given mask.

outputs¶

LATENT: The masked and encoded latent images.
