I built a tool to mix two artists on one image with region masks — Van Gogh + Picasso, no training, arbitrary refs
Mix different artistic styles in specific parts of an image using masks and IP-Adapters without any training or fine-tuning.
A new open-source tool allows users to apply distinct artistic styles to specific regions of an image using spatial masks. Built on Stable Diffusion 1.5, the system utilizes ControlNet (Canny and Tile) for structural integrity and two IP-Adapters for style injection. The technical core involves spatial routing, where each adapter's contribution is masked within the cross-attention layers to prevent 'muddy' averaging of styles. It offers three modes: global mixing, painterly emphasis, and region-specific stylization. While effective, the author notes that aggressive style weights can distort realistic faces and small color details. The project includes a GitHub repository with a Colab notebook and a Hugging Face Space for testing.
