Mastering Leonardo AI: A Comprehensive Step-by-Step Tutorial for Beginners

Leonardo AI tutorial hello guys and welcome back to today's video in today's video we will be showcasing and showing you all the different features of this AI image generator called Leonardo aai Leonardo a is an amazing image generator with a lot of amazing features that you would not expect from a free AI generator that's right you heard me right it is is a free AI generator of course there are some plans that you could take having plans will give you a lot of advantages and a lot more Generations but you will still be able to utilize and take advantage of most of Leonardo's most powerful features and be able to produce amazing results and so that will be our Focus for today's video we will be focusing on each different features available in Leonardo AI they're not simply just an image generator they have a lot of priorities and a lot of capabilities and that is what we would like to explore in today's video as well also at the end of this video I would show you guys the different plans so that you could have an idea on how much you need to spend if you want to invest in Leonardo Ai and used a lot of its features without any limitations and so let's get started the first thing you're going to need to do of course is visit their platform website and it's going to have the URL leonardo.da click launch up over here on the top right or click on create an account if you already have an account clicking on launch app over here will automatically redirect you to their dashboard where you can start generating images but if you don't have an account yet simply click on create an account creating an account in Leonardo is very quick and simple just like with any other website you could sign up with apple Google my Microsoft or your own personal email which you could just put into this sections over here and click on sign in or sign up over here also did you know they also have a mobile version available on iOS so if you want to check that out after watching this video feel free to do so okay so here we go I have successfully logged into our Leonardo AI account and this is their homepage over here before we get started with using all of the different tools let's give you a quick tour of Leonardo so that you won't get confused once you're at this point of your experience when exploring or using Leonardo AI so what we're seeing right now is the homepage this is basically where you will be able to see all the random generations of the community as you can see here there's are recent Creations that are trending how are they trending it's because of the quality of the generated output and how people appreciate this generated output so the photos that you're seeing right now are the top Community picks and the best Generations as of the recent pictures as you can see there's all sorts of generations from realistic wave shots here to cartoonish drawings just like this one two Arts like this one as you can see you might think that these photos are taken with a real camera or an illustrator made them for a long time or even models or people who model 3D animations or 3D models as you can see would make this stuff over here but no an AI alone generated all of the things with complex RS and settings and a combination of all the different powerful features of Leonardo now I will give you a tip later on in the video on how you could also take advantage of the community fee but anyway you could check out other things over here and modify the filters and modify the way you want to see the recent Creations if you want to focus on photography you can select photography over here and it will filter out all the image and only show photography related images over here if you're interested in seeing those photos or generation there's all sorts of categories over here so feel free to explore them and you could also check out the top of the top so basically the top generation overall so these are the best or the top creations and as you can see here it all varies in style and ideas this one especially looks really cool a mixture of a girl and a jellyfish which is Crea a really amazing effect anyway aside from that you could look over here on the left side these are the different tools as you can notice you could already identify that these are the AI tools and these are the same tools that are being mentioned over here on the top these are the different powerful features that I was talking about the first feature of Leonardo is the image generation just like any other image generator out out there of course there must be an image generator and this is the artist version there's more than it meets the eye and we will show you that later on it can be both simple and easy and confusing and difficult well not confusing and difficult but rather more complex and being more complex you will be able to generate more accurate designs or more accurate generations and it is more closer to the prop that you are trying to create there's also this real time canvas which basically you are able to draw and move around different elements of your drawing and it will generate that image in real time as you can see here on the preview video that we are seeing as we are hovering over this feature the next one is Sky editor which will basically allow you to edit entire pictures and add different elements add modifications and all of those things with an already existing image of course you could also generate inside this one and we will show you the difference between the canvas editor and the image generation now we're going to show you the unique features right now one of the unique features of Leonardo is called motion which basically will turn a still image that either you or the community has generated and it will turn it into a motion picture or a picture or even you could call it a video that actually moves with the character that you have just generated it is aware of its background and aware of what the main character is you could use both your photos that you have just generated freshly generated photos and it will turn it into a motion or a generative video next one that we have over here is really time generation so what this will do is that whatever you're typing right now when you're typing a prop it will do a real time generation and show you the generations being done as you type which is a really cool effect and you can even record the process of it because it's really fun and lastly over here on the featur features you have the universal upscaler which will basically improve the quality and size of any image that you create or any image that you upload of course so that's the quick tour of the different AI tools there's more advanced features over here which is Pine tune models training and database and texture generation these things are topics I will tackle later on after we get past the image generation and all the other features as well and later on we would like to check out the different premium FL so that you would know how much you would need to pay and what you would get back from that price okay so let's get started the first feature that we will be exploring in today's video is of course image generation the most basic and the most minimal requirement for an AI to be called an image generator simply select this or even click on create new photo on the top right as you can see here right of the but there's a lot of things on our screen I'll focus on the center first over here in the center this is basically where you're going to input your problem this is where you're going to ask the AI to generate an image that you want I would suggest that you either follow a prompt template or be as descriptive as you can even though you don't put a descripted problem the Nardo AI will still be able to generate amazing results without the need of L props because it has capabilities to generate amazing results whether it's long or short of course there's advantages with long proms because you can be as descriptive as you want and the image generated will be as close to the image that you are visualizing to generate aside from the prop over here there is such thing as find sh model what does this mean as you can see there's a lot of models over here so I'm going to select the other models and these are all the models over here basically the models are trade AI it is or each set is trayed on a specific set of image so that it could replicate and display the same quality for example this one over here rpg5 the specific model over here is strained with RPG like elements RPG like pictures so if you select this and ask Leonardo to let's say generate an image of a cat running through the forest the main theme of that image is going to be RPG it will input RPG like elements into that photo and as you can see here there are multiple types of models and as you can see even here one of their new highspeed generalist image which is able to generate amazing photo realistic two po painly style so everything using leard in Excel you will be able to generate amazing results with any style that you want those are just few of the most amazing or the new models available right now in Leonardo in my experience one of the most fun models that I used was the 3D animation style because you were able to make hute 3D animated photos so uh let me show you actually one of those examples if we can view them in the leaderboards or like the Community Feed and show you one of those examples of a 3D image so scrolling through the recent Creations over here we should be able to find at least one or two that utilizes 3d effect or 3D generation so scrolling down here most of this are photo realistic but uh this one as you can see here this picture over here has been generated with the 3D animation style so you're going to get like an animation or a Disney level of design or model with that specific model now aside from that uh like I mentioned this is our trade models if you can remember at the start of our video we were talking about advanced models over here so this section over here basically allows you to train your very own model with your own very set of photos and you will be able to create your own model such like this one that you could use to generate with your image or to your image and even the community shares their own models as you can see here people compile their own models and own photos and create Unique Designs of their own well moving on from from that aside from that there's also the Leonardo style or none over here this is a different section and you can even add some extra elements to your output if you want these will add extra designs to your output for example if you want to add the element By Flames all of your output will generate that part over your here so all of this are like extra details or like extra additional bonus style that you could add to your output so let's generate something very simple for now let's generate a person playing on their laptop while IAD is sitting on their lap very simple ride not too long not too short just the right amount of description for the model I guess we could go with the lightning XL for now and for the ad element let's see let's try something like a very simple one maybe like a two on anime over here so we're going to click on confirm wait uh let's do it again to and Anime it on confirm now so what we're going to be expecting is a person playing on their laptop while a cat is sitting on their lap and simply click on generate now you might notice there is this 12 token thing over here that is going to be uh mentioned to you when you're generating an image now what is that basically you have a limited amount of tokens per day if you're a free user and the maximum amount of generation token that you get per day is 150 tokens every time you generate an image the depending on the model and depending on the different settings over here on the left it's going to get more expensive or more cheaper so as a free user if you want to use leardo AI a lot in a single day I would suggest that you manage your token properly because you might not notice you will run out of token without being to generate or without being able to generate all types of photos that you want to generate so over here as you can see really great output right away of course not all of them will be perfect like this one although this one looks cool a lot of them look really great just like this one over here really great and this one over here so it's an amazing output right off the bat you could add and use other types of elements if you want so it depends on your preference so for us so let's unselect that for now and let's talk about this left side over here on this left side you have the different settings for your generation you have number of images we selected four over here that's why it will generate four set of images you could go up to eight over here but that only works with a certain type of settings or certain set of settings you could have photo re over here which will basically allow your image to be as real istic as possible we can enable that by clicking this but those are features that you need to have plan for we also have Alchemy which will allow you to generate powerful and quick new images with a very great uh back end part where uh you don't need to add as much logic or as much prop as you need it will be able to generate and make up a very cool component or a very cool reaction with your props you also have your prop magic over here which will improve your prop generation like increase the high contrast and make your pro a priority out of anything else because sometimes of course AI has its own creative freedom and if you don't set up this prompt magic over here and if the prompt strike is low AI will be able to have a lot of freedom to generate free style images or add elements that you never specify that can be both good and bad at the same time good because it will be able to innovate and give you an idea on great outputs and be able to unexpectedly generate amazing outputs without or outside the pro but the downside is that it will generate images that you did not specify so uh you could either try it out but keep in mind your only have 150 tokens over here and the other parts over here you could increase or change your image Dimension if you have a preference image Dimension that you want to generate you can change all of that over here now aside from that there's also something called image guidance where basically you could upload an image and use that as a reference for your generation so for example uh let's use this one over here click on confirm and uh you can simply click on generate again and basically sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't it will use this image over here that you have uploaded as a reference for your generation it might either get the image of the person copy the posture copy the uh clothing all any of those stuff it's a bit free for all unless you increase the strength over here and let's see the output generated the output time or the generation time takes a while or the generation takes different timing because the more complicated your settings the more complicated your models the more complicated your props the longer the image is going to take to generate but as you can see we have our for sets over here again the image are a bit funky but the best one was the first one over here with that actual got reset in the photo and it's also as you can see flow with our image prop be here with the beard and along here now moving on from the AI image generator or generation there's a lot more features or there's a lot more combination that you could perform with the image generation but I've taught you the basics and I would expect that you guys could be able to now uh explore the image generator uh more on your own and let's go and move on to the real time canvas like I explained earlier basically generates an output based on whatever you are drawing an example that I have over here is Earth and I drew this very simple image over here now let's start from scratch I'm going to delete this all of this uh by the way over here on the left side you could increase the brush size and you can do the erasing over here and as you can notice by the way the moment I stop erasing it's it changed our output over here so let's erase all of this and start from scratch so over here we have the different tools we have select basically you select a selection over here are certain part uh there's generator here where you could generate an image once again inside of this as well or you could even add an image or you could use the brusher here which will of course allow you to draw something now the output of your here will depend on your prompt now currently my prompt is Earth so this is what it's showing so if we change our prompt to water it will change accordingly if you change it to cat as you can see it will change accordingly so you could be as creative as possible if you want so let's say a very simple want waves and let's improve our photo over here let's erase this and let's paint something very simple like this there we go and then we could add something different we could change the color over here by simply dragging it over here the color sometimes doesn't matter but sometimes it does so just explore and check on the effect that you will get here we go as you can see uh it changed it and let's actually make the background blue over here so hopefully it will recognize this as the sky here we go let's see if it'll be able to recognize uh in a way it recognized it as a bigger wave now it's a very huge wave that we have over here and we could click on generator here so let's say fish or shark there we go I'm not sure if it will recognize it but it's still trying to uh make it work with this so I guess uh shark with waves or waves with shark there we go we could delete this for now so it's a very freefor all and it might be funky sometimes but it's still able to generate really cool effects as you can see so let's try it one more time select certain parts of it there we go or we could just change this entire thing to just say Shar okay not going to be perfect as you can see it will try to fill out the sections that you have drawn so depending on the shape of your thing uh it will change it accordingly so now let's I guess let's change it into a dog as you can see it will change accordingly if you want to modify specific parts of your uh design you could use in painting as well for that now right now this is in interactive mode so the mode will change whenever you update uh or whenever you complete an action and over here we have the real time mode the real time mode is the one that we saw earlier at the homepage where whenever you're typing or whatever you're typing it should automatically uh update as you can see here real time mode updates the image in real time and it's much more responsive that is the feature that we have a re but that is for premium verion or premium users so that is not something we will be able to use and clear out with in today's video but anyway moving on from the realtime canvas let's move on and check out the other features we have the real time or the motion over here so we could either follow this sequence over here or we could go with this one but I think I'll go with this one so let's view our canvas editor this time the canvas editor is very similar to the normal image generation as you can see I am still able to use the model I have godas mode the in painting and out painting where you could modify specific sections of the image and you have your typical number of images generation the image Dimension and all of those things that you saw earlier now what makes this difference or what makes this different from the normal image generator so basically let's ask prop here I got sleeping on uh rainbow but click on generate similarly with our image generation it will generate just whatever rout we have asked is to serve for or generate go we're going to give it sometime and it will generate four Images so right now uh they're not loading just yet so we're going to give it a bit but I guess I think it mistook are generated over here so we did not generate the one that we want this uh canvas editor is not going to be perfect it's less developed than of course the AI image generation so let's actually uh try again let's erase this if you can here we go and let's generate again the output that we want is a cat sleeping on the rainbow and the model that we are using is the lightning X out as you notice also I'm trying to manage my tokens as we make our video so let's see the output that we are generating it still did not generate the one that we want so I guess we could generate something else over here so let's say a dog walking grass you click on settings over here there's such thing as a negative prop by the way and the meaning of negative prop is that whatever prop that you enter over here let's say a cat the AI will avoid generating a cat into your images so if you put a cat here there's a low chance for your image to contain a cat in the photo so while waiting for this similarly with the other features there is some tools over here from select mask erase sketch text upload image or delete over here now I guess the image generator for canvas right now is not working but well I guess we could still explain how it this work and you guys could try it out and hopefully it will work for you guys and so this box over here that I'm dragging around is basically the generation area the supposed purpose or the supposed cool thing about this canvas generator or canvas mode is that you will be able to generate an image just like this one and then you will be able to generate a connected image over here where it will expand the image to a bigger version so if you had or if the generation of our image was supposedly successful we would have been able to generate a dog on this section and then we could extend it over here where you could see the full path of where the dog had been so you will be able to connect and have an expansive version of the image that you had but I guess today is not the day for our canvas mode because we were not able or it's not working properly with our generator for today and so let's move on to the next section we have motion over here motion is one of the coolest feature of Leonardo that I personally enjoy using and using it is not the way you use the other options but as you can see here uh all you need to do is upload a source image that will be generated and you could either select from your own generation over here or you could choose from the community feed which is basically the thing that we saw earlier at the hom page or you could even use the follower feed over here the choice is yours on which one you would use so I guess let's uh try it out for ourselves let's select one that we like the most maybe uh we could go with this one over here a very funny photo of the cat click on generate and as you can see view your V video generation status in your a generation page or in the personal feedb completed simply click on view generation click on close and as you can see it's being generated right now keep in mind that the video or motion generator cost 25 coins so that's a very big uh price to pay so be careful when using motion if you're trying to manage your tokens so over here it might take a while maybe a minute or two it's a video so it's not the same as your images over here so it's going to take a while now while waiting for this since it's going to take a while let's let me tell you a tip or trick that I like using in Leonardo but anyway uh as you can see this is our Cy here we could play it and let's see the movement as you can see our cat is moving and it's like alive and there's some movements of course motion will work better on certain images so let's explore in the homepage over while I continue what I was saying earlier that one of my good tip in using Leonardo is that you look through the different Community page and look for a style that you want for example you really like this style over here so what you could do is that you could copy the prop like this one you could copy it and then you could use this prop and generate it as as yourself as well and modify some parts to accommodate the one that you want or the outut that you want so for example this one we're going to change it to ethereal visual of DNA strand it Ruben so let's change the DNA to virus Gene R and generate so that is one of the fun thing that I do with Leonardo if I find or see a really great generated output I would like to try and replicate it but with the main topic as I want or the main topic that I want so for example this image over here instead of a girl as the main topic maybe I want a cat as the main topic so I could change certain parts of the ROMs to do that but anyway let's continue with our motion over here so find a really great image that you think would be great with motion for example this one this one looks really great over here let's do image to motion so basically we will generate a motion video with this output so view generation there we go and basically this is our version as well of our virus Gene but with the style that we wanted earlier so let's view that again let's go back this one was the style that we wanted and the topic that we wanted was virus and this is the version or the virus which is really great so while waiting for our motion let's try something else with one or with the different options over here so let's look for a really cool one that we could do the same process that we did maybe this one over here I'm going to copy the prompt now there are multiple things that you could copy if you want to have an exact replica but with a different topic you should copy the different settings as well like the resolution the pipeline the C the preset the photo real and other things but unfortunately some other uh videos or other photos you can't really replicate one to one because they are using some features that are available for pemium so we here let's past this over here and let's change it instead of a block woman age uh let's say uh different oh let's see an old aan man or fun generate and this is our video by the way as you can see you have motion available and present sometimes the complexity of the image can be super simple as ping like this or can be as super complicated as running or moving water so I would like to be able to at least generate once a moving effect with the motion so that we could guys could see the potential of our motion over here so I guess we could maybe go with this one this one looks really cool as well and since our token is running out let's use this one over here and over here this is our gener ation for our water as well as you can see very realistic very looking or very cool looking and compare it with our original photo earlier I'd say that we were able to successfully at least still replicate the style that we wanted to a certain extent as you can see compared to this one of course there's a lot of differences but also there's a lot of similarities of course this one is significantly a better image because they are using features or settings that are for premium versions anyway uh where did our video go let me try and refresh this so that we can view our video image generated this is our image or view over here and as you can see this time the motion did the job that I wanted it to do it's showing you the flow it's showing you the interaction of the different elements and it looks really cool and you could see it actually moving so you would think that this is a video rather than a photo so that's a really great feature for that now since I only have nine tokens left let us go back on the homepage and discuss other things that we have over here for the universal upscaler this is specifically for improving the design or the image the image quality so if we add an image over here maybe for Our Generation I would like to enhance this image over here this one looks cool but confirm and you will be able to upscale it into a higher quality image with higher resolution and definition when you could see a lot more details than normal but as you can see I I don't have enough tokens to upscale this we need 30 tokens over here there's a lot more settings over here that you could change around there's a different style for upscaling as well there's 2D and illustration cinematic and CG art and G master so different upscaling style will change the appearance of your output although this one is currently in beta it's not going to be as perfect as we want it to be because there's just uh they're just going to be drying it out but yeah so that's basically all the different features that we wanted to demonstrate in today's video we wanted to show the real time generation but this is something uh a premium should be able to use but I guess we could try it out over here I think we could use it still over here so let's try it out a cut running through the ro oh there we go we could actually use it as a normal user and as you can see the output is automatic can generate it although since it is being rushed it's not going to be as perfect as we want you can also control the style over here as you can see so let's generate something else over here so let's say bird a flame light as you against so I guess get turn it into a a phoenix fly there we go so the more modification you've done over here the more it will uh change as you can see my to and L is high over here so I guess we could hide the kid illustration we'll turn into a kid illustration maybe increase the holding book and there we go it will change you could use this AI to generate your own coloring books if you want so we could settle with a really high uh tune and Anime and fault Arc illustration there we go so if you want to have a sweet spot you can look for that as well but anyway uh you could change the seed over here if you want you could change a random seed uh you could have the different styles over here if you prefer and you can even have a creative up scale which will basically scale uh the image that you have generated so if you view our personal feed we will be able to see our refined photo that we have just generated in our uh real time generator over here and there we go as you can see so I've been using Leonardo AI for a while I have a lot of generations over here I've been using it for all sorts of videos all sorts of generation so I know I've tried and tested all of its functionalities all of its capabilities and I know it is really amazing of course there will be some times where it's going to fail the generations a bit funky the AI is not working the way we want it to be but of course you can't expect a software to be perfect especially if a lot of people are using it at the same time you can explore and even use this as a reference for your art you want generate some random things have fun with it see what type of image you will be able to generate with your creativity with your prop generation and many many more now since we're done with most of the things that I wanted to talk about in Leonardo let's go check out the different plats that you will be able to have in Leonardo there are a total of 1 2 3 four and five plats technically for because the plans are still ongoing and coming soon so we won't have that yet just not now but anyway over here we're currently using the fee version or the fee plan so we have 150 pass tokens which we already used up today in our video and there's a lot of list over here that you are not able to have there's a lot of things that you are not available and you are not a privilege of using but over here you have Apprentice artisan and Maestro over here to choose from and all of them has features that are unlocked for example on The Apprentice version you will have a whopping 8,500 fast tokens that's way way more than 150 tokens so you will be able to play around with Leonardo and generate different images for a really long time although there is still parts that you get access like there's no concurrency no relax R image generation no relax R Video generation and no relax R upscale but you will be able to get those as you upgrade your plan more and more as you can see here on the Artisan there will be 25,000 instead of 8,500 and there's also a limited relas image generation so the better your plan is of course the better your uh experience will be the better the uh different available things for you will be and for the yearly uh they have a 20% off on the yearly if you plan to get a subscription for a yearly payment so for yearly you will pay $10 a month for the entire year $24 a month for artisan and mro you will pay $48 per month and for the m version if you don't want to pay yearly you will pay uh $12 $30 and $60 so those are the different PLS available in our Leonardo as well there's a lot of features there's a lot more things that are hidden in vardo that we might not have been able to tackle like the different secret to the settings over here like how much prop magic should use uh what type of uh setting should you do should you enable this should you enable that so there's a lot more things that you will be able to do there's also even prop generation over here if you want to have some prop generated for you if you're having a hard time so let's say a dog being friends in a cat I click on ide8 and basically it will also help you with your prop generation as you can see instead of a very simple a dog playing with a cat you could have a Regal husky and a mischievous tabic cat exploring a magical first together so there's a lot of amazing different capabilities that you could combine and help together and it will really help you with generating the outputs that you want but of course these are all optional if you want to use this it's completely up to you but for me I prefer sticking to my prompts it's super simple but nonetheless Leonardo AI is still able to generate amazing results with it so that's basically it guys if you enjoy this very long video that we out with Leonardo consider leaving a like And subscribe thanks for watching
