          Article Summary

          Create subtle or strong variations of a generated image using the the V1 V2 V3 V4 buttons under each image grid, or use the Vary (Strong) and Vary (Subtle) buttons under an upscaled image.

          Control the amount of variation created with these buttons using the 🎨 High Variation Mode and 🎨 Low Variation Mode settings. You can also create variations of upscaled images using the 🪄 Vary (Strong) or 🪄 Vary (Subtle) buttons that appear under upscaled images. 🪄 Vary (Region) modifies a selected area within a generated image without changing the entire image.

          🎨 High Variation Mode is the default setting.
          🪄 Vary (Strong) and 🪄 Vary (Subtle) are availabe with Model Version 5.2 and Niji 5. Older models have a single 🪄 Make Variations button.

High Variation Mode is useful for creating multiple concepts based on a single generated image.
