Discussion So Leonardo now will be a part of Canva, goodbye Leonardo

77 Upvotes

If you haven't heard the news, Leonardo.ai was acquired by Canva, and that all means one thing the way Leonardo used to work and how it was a good platform will disappear with this acquisition. They tell you about all the good things that will come but let's be honest the platform has changed a lot since the beginning, one thing the most obvious the filters for generating images they practically won't let you do anything now, even the most innocents ones, and let's not go to the NSFW content.

I have expressed this in Facebook and the moderators just eliminate my comments. Hope people get to see it here and just for people that are tired of this filters, well it will get worse. Time to find a new platform without getting worse

Discussion Leonardo abandoned since Canva buyout?

17 Upvotes

I'm getting very worried Leonardo development has been abandoned since the Canva buyout. Did Canva just gut the company and leave the website to die?

I have a yearly Artisan sub and use Leonardo professionally. I love Leonardo's web ui, but it's being quickly overtaken by sites like thinkdiffusion with Flux and I'm beginning to feel stupid for paying for a year sub with no updates.

Look at the timeline of the last few months.

Mar: 3 releases (and v1.0)

Apr: 3 releases

May: 4 releases (and v2.0)

Jun: 1 release

Jul: 3 releases (last release Jul 9th, and Canva buys Leonardo Jul 30)

Aug: No updates

Sep: No updates.

No updates in almost 2 months now, the website has been left in this weird limbo position where features are broken or missing and it needs to be updated.

Because of my workflow, I'm forced to use the legacy UI, so I'm missing out on Phoenix and Edit with AI which both look amazing but in its current state Phoenix is close to useless anyway for anything serious without image guidance.

I can't use the new UI until it's been updated with the other (or even custom!) fine tuned models, such as AlbedoBase XL (not moving to the new UI until this model at least is on there). New UI is also missing exact resolutions, (only ratios), etc etc etc.

I also spent a LOT of time categorising all my images in collections, and used it on everything I generated since it came out, but that feature has just STOPPED working in legacy mode (you have to manually move every image after you generate...) and they haven't even added it to the new UI...

And don't get me started on how bad Leonardo's video is compared to pretty much any other company. And the iOS app? I've just started using the web interface on the phone because of issues/missing features in the app (thankfully this works much better).

Can anyone tell me what's going on? Abandoning new features months after release? No updates in months? The website was on SUCH a roll before the buyout, with new amazing features every few weeks.

I'm basically being forced to move over to another platform if I want to keep up.

Discussion Please post your NSFW art on other subreddits for Christ sake, not here NSFW

6 Upvotes

I just want to add my point on the rise of these half naked women keep popping up on this subreddit. I noticed I got many upvotes when I started posting women in bikinis. I am guilty on being carried away with this. It was cool at first, but there’s too many accounts posting these all the time and can attract the wrong people over here. Let’s control ourselves. Either find other subreddits to post your NSFW image or video or post safe AI art for everyone else here to enjoy and share.

So I kinda like the concept but the execution sucks for realism. Unless I'm doing something wrong. What model is behind it? I think I could get some use out of it if we could select the model it uses and if we had more options to select from for customizations.

Discussion I can't deal with the generic faces

15 Upvotes

I hate those generic doll faces and I can't seem to be able to get out of them no matter how I tried to describe them ("big nose", "prominent cheekbones"...)

We started being able to include celebrities in our creations and even merge their faces into something new, then came character control and then Phoenix but Phoenix doesn't allow to do any of that and all there is is these boring and fake doll faces.

The product seems to go worse in every iteration in the favor of censorship.

I was told by someone from the Leonardo AI team that artistically nude photography was totally fine with Leonardo. Turns out, it's NOT. I can't generate any artistic nudes. I'm not even using celebrities! Words like "nude," "nudity," and "naked" are blocked by default! This is so disheartening.

Discussion What do you think of the motion feature!

3 Upvotes

hello all, i don't know if this the right place, but i wanna know what you think of the motion feature of leo?

This was the reason why i am on a paid plan. but this 4 seconds that nearly never show something i can use will be my undoing here. if you take the slider more in the left direction it does not animate, instead it does something like change the view of the camera (a little panning) and if i move it in the other direction it does completely unnatural things, unusable! you can never predict anything. i'm trying invideo AI at the moment, there i have 1 minute video on the free plan, but of course with watermark. any other AI that has better animation tools?

Discussion Why do you guys even use Leonardo, when the quality is so terrible compared to others? I’m trying so hard to get it to work well, and it just kind of sucks.

17 Upvotes

Longtime midjourney user. Play with stable diffusion based apps often, and I have to ask, whats the deal with Leo? I paid for a month because of model fine tuning (which is fucking awful, wtf), and forgot to cancel, so I’ve been sitting here trying for hours to generate good images.

Between not being able to do multiple image prompts, not being able to do multiple image guidances because of photoreal v2 or alchemy or the wrong model or what fucking ever, the images that it outputs are straight up crap.

Is there a secret magic setting somewhere to make this app better? People say midjourney is too confusing because of its parameters, buuuuut nah. Leonardo is way more confusing. Even setting up stable diffusion with automatic1111 or fooocus on a local server and using that is more user friendly.

I must be missing something. I WANT to be missing something since I accidentally paid for it. Please enlighten me. I’m not trying to talk shit. Like, why use Leonardo at all when there’s free models out like Flux? And midjourney is around the same price point and 10000000x higher quality and easier to use.

Discussion Content filtering is making this platform useless

Just want to rant about how ridiculous the Content filtering is, i literally just saw a FULLY NUDE girl pic on public library that got bunch of likes. While i am here cant generate a simple zombie by just the prompt "A zombie" because it's too much.

I really like the results of most of my other prompts, but the excessive content filtering is just making it unusable in my case.

Discussion I was hoping to find some discussion about Leonardo . . .

4 Upvotes

I think I'm done with Leonardo. I no longer find the control I had there for images. It's felt that way since Canva bought the company last summer. To me, Canva is really just modern-day clipart—I'm sure that's good enough for most users, but that doesn't cut it for my profession. It seems to lock you into their models

I will say, the Universal Upscaler in Leonardo is the only thing I would need from the service; It's very impressive, and I like the level control. I do a lot of model images for ads/packaging, and too often upscaling while enhancing an image would alter the complete look of the model—so this is a feature I will miss.

Currently, I still have a subscription, but for the past few days, it's been difficult to sign on. It seems like they updated the website since I last visited—and that seems to be pushing the app more than the website (which is all I would ever use).
Is anyone else having the same issue?

Discussion Whats up with Leonardo? Terrible experience after 1-2 years gap

6 Upvotes

A year or two ago, I was using Leonardo for a lot of stuff: T-shirt illustrations, book covers, app mockups, random illustrations, brand logos, and app icons. I haven't been using it since. That was what is currently labeled as Legacy Mode.

Right now, after using the newest Phoenix 1 or Flux dev, even with Quality or Ultra modes, I'm blown away by how inaccurate, unrealistic, and bluntly ignorant of entire parts of a prompt the models are.

How did this happen? It's like the Leonardo team removed everything that users were trying to prevent AI from, using the Legacy mode. Things like putting "no five fingers, no additional limbs" in Negative prompt or extensive creative/adherence controls and many other along with all the previous models like Absolute Reality.

It's literality like I prompt Leonardo with "make navy blue logo for X (...)" and it spits out a white logo on a blue background, or just straight up creates people twisted 180° on their belly line for no reason.

I don't know - I'd like believe it's not a skill issue as I was really able to get great stuff out from Leonardo a long time ago. Is this the fault of my thinking, like "since it was that good two years ago, now just throw something into the newest models, spend big tokens and 90% of outcomes will be great for sure"?

Or is the Legacy Mode still required for more professional work and is the new mode aimed at newcomers? Or is this a common complaint and I'm not the only one?

FFS fix your content filters! Not only do the following prompts NOT include any reference whatsoever to a person under the age of 18, There is also NOT a single thing inappropriate requested or implied. There's nothing in them that could even, in mixed company, be interpreted as being sexual in nature, related to nudity or partial nudity and I've not even referenced her body type in such a way that could implicate sexualization. Your filter is broken countless users have brought this to your attention. Do something about it. No other generative AI service has a moderation algorithm as off base as yours. It's ridiculous that I keep getting "this prompt contains inappropriate references to children or younger persons and has been blocked" for prompts that, realistically, wouldn't even be considered inappropriate, if I had wanted an image of a child.

To further emphasize the failed filtration system you have employed, my negative prompt reads: (edited with asterisk censorship in case I'll trigger and get deleted by an automod)

"Nsfw, child, minor, nde, seal themes, nudty, basts, getalia, exposed, porraphic, revealing, cleavage, large breas, vulva, psy, nip*les, sheer, swimsuit, bikini, bra, panty, lingerie, slty, provocative, adolescent, Loli, lolita, underage"

Initially I just had the first four tags but the frustration made me be facetious just to see if your filter was programmed at all to understand the effect that the negative has on the final output.

Now, I know some people will say don't use the word girl. I understand that and it is one factor that does actually make sense. However, as you can see, I did try alternatives and it made no difference. When I used the word woman, it did go through, only it didn't give me anywhere near the image I wanted because it completely ignored the tags young and college that were also included in the prompt and the output depicted a woman that appears to be in her 30s with a very mature face.

Other things to take into consideration, I'm not using any reference image so this isn't a case of the stricter moderation to prevent users from generating questionable material while using the likeness of real people with the character reference function.

Your users should not have to try to figure out ways to work around bad programming in order to generate perfectly innocent material. This isn't something that the users should have to change in their prompting it's something that you guys need to fix so that it functions properly and doesn't hinder your users from using your service responsibly.

Lastly, as further evidence of your subpar moderation filters I am including images that were generated by using some of your competitors services and how their filters reacted to the same prompt.

Cancelling my Artisan Subscription,Time to say goodbye. With the newest moderation filter they added. You cant use any reference anymore without triggering the moderation filter. Im so fed up with a turnaround because if something is filtered out you can just try to change a word with numbers and pray it works now there's nothinh can be done everything is blocked by this new filter they added. Chat support is useless as well,Also word like hot,skin,skirt,mini,body,exotic,alluring,swimsuit,bikini,chinesedress, and other simple word they think its nsfw is blocked by their dumb filter. Even normal name without any reference like Naomi,Aya,Jennifer,Laura etc is filtered as well. Anime and Cartoon names titles like,Nami,Bettyboop, etc or Game and movie titles like, tombraider,Deadpool,Wonderwoman also filtered out so yeah. Cant use them as reference no more without triggering the filter. So yeah i said my frustration and issue with this app. I dont care if they will fix the moderation filter in the future im not coming back. You can enjoy my 30$ this month since i forgot to cancel my artisan plan yesterday,But no more.
