Hi, I'm trying to find an AI art generation app, website, or downloadable software that satisfies the following criteria.  (At the same time; that is, activating one of these features doesn't exclude another.)

*Image to image generation:  Takes as input an image, a prompt, and a slider for how much to stick to the prompt vs the original image.

*Can generate photorealistic images, as opposed to "anime," "cartoon," etc.

*Either does not have a NSFW filter, or the filter is not too sensitive. (More about this in a minute.)

*Has an effective price of not more than about 0.03 USD per image.

*At the risk of overstating the obvious, actually produces decent-quality results.

For a while I thought I had a winner with the website https://www.zmo.ai, but a week or two ago that tool appears to have undergone a massive increase in the sensitivity of its NSFW filter which makes it very frustrating to use and no longer worth the money I was paying for it, so I'm looking for something new.  If anybody knows of a tool that is comparable to the photorealistic, image-to-image part of ZMO and does not have a NSFW filter, that's basically exactly what I'm looking for.

The first criteria seems to be the most limiting one.  Even when I specifically search for "image-to-image" or similar phrases, the vast majority of AI image generation tools I find are only text-to-image, not able to take a reference image as input.  But I figure that what I'm looking for must be out there somewhere.

Regarding NSFW filters, I don't think that the stuff I try to create is THAT risque.  I'm not exactly trying to submit prompts like, if you will pardon the illustration, "big-t***ed ebony pornstar shoves a dil*o in her dripping pu**y."  More like, "[ethnicity] lingerie model laying on a couch with [some synonym for "large breasts"], hourglass figure, and lacey red bra."  ZMO used to be able to handle stuff like that, at least with some tweaking of the wording, about 90% of the time, until recently.  But ZMO's filter as of now, and the filters of most other tools I've come across, seem to reject most any use of words like "breasts," "busty," curvy," "lingerie," "bikini," "bra," "stockings," etc, which is too restrictive for me.  (Or, alternatively, the prompt is accepted, but the post-generation filter blocks the resulting image nearly every time.)  ZMO is the only tool I've come across so far that had a filter but one that (formerly) wasn't too sensitive; but I've come across more than one tool that doesn't have a filter at all, it just fails one of the other criteria.

Regarding the price, 3 cents per image might not sound like a lot, but that's still more than 10x more expensive than what ZMO offered.  The package I was using cost around $30 a month and allowed 500 image generations per day, which worked out to about 0.2 cents per image.  I feel like I might be willing to go with 50 images per day at $50 per month, which would work out to about 3.33 cents per image; but that's about the limit of what I'd be comfortable with, and the only other tool I've found that (mostly) satisfies the other criteria costs more than twice that.

On a final note, to skip ahead a bit, I have an inkling that what I'm looking for can be satisfied by some form or other of "Stable Diffusion," but so far I can't make sense of Stable Diffusion.  Most of my attempts to look it up have resulted in links to multiple zip files, seemingly assuming that the user already knows how to cobble it together; and while I might be theoretically capable of that, I am simply not familiar with what it seems to be assuming I already know - and I'm saying this as someone with a master's degree in robotics engineering, it's not as though I don't know how to code.  I'm not saying that I'm at my wits' end in trying to look it up; I just wanted to get this point out there as I think might save some time.  The only version of Stable Diffusion that I've managed to actually use so far is this site, which produces atrocious-looking results or else I'm just not using it properly; this is the reason I added the fifth criteria above.

I feel like something which satisfies all of these criteria MUST be out there somewhere, and I just haven't been able to find it.  I could believe it if there were several options that met every criteria except the price, but I've only found tool like that so far and it has some other issues that make it less than ideal, so I figure there must be more out there.  Can somebody please help me out?  Much appreciated, thank you. :)

(Alternatively, as this is primarily a website about a 3D modeling software, perhaps somebody can suggest a better forum to be asking this question in.  I'm only asking it here because I've found surprisingly sparse results for "AI art forums.")

The benefit of Stable diffusion is that you have full control, but are also somewhat limited by the models you use and how well they are trained, unless you train your own, then you can do whatever you want. Also, it can be fairly slow unless you have a good GPU, but it is obviously free and runs locally. 

If you follow this one you can install stable diffusion, it has a pretty good step-by-step guide.

After you have installed it, you can go here to get models and what other stuff you need:

Alternatively, you can use Prompthunt which I think is very good. And probably have the most user-friendly interface.

But I did a test on it:

And it doesn't seem to have any issues with it, as long as you add the NSFW tag. And it has a pretty good price as well, which is 9.99$ per month and then you get 500 images per day. They have a cheaper solution as well where you get 50 images I think. but given how many test renders you end up making then I would say that is way too little. The benefit with Prompthunt is also that their model is far larger than those you will find on stable diffusion, so you can get good results with pretty much anything. But again, if they don't have the specific style you are looking for, then you are obviously screwed, but haven't run into that problem myself.

Welcome to the forum, I see 3D-Mobster provided an answer for you about running SD locally, but you do have to have a pretty hefty system and graphics card to do that. I'll recommend a few websites that you can use that are photorealistic and can produce NSFW images if you want to. The first one I'd recommend is the dezgo website: https://dezgo.com/ You'll see over on the side there's an img to img option. Even though it's free you can also pay for the images using their "power" option. It generates images quicker. Two others I'd recommend would be Playground A.I. and Open Art, they do have NSFW and img to img but read some of the fine print regarding the NSFW policies. https://playgroundai.com/    https://openart.ai/discovery  I also recommend other websites in this link on the forum:

Nothing to do with img to img or NSFW for those ones but I'm sure those websites will come in handy. Good luck.

Have you used Bing Image Creator? It is the best overall AI image generator due to it being powered by OpenAI's latest DALL-E technology. Like DALL-E 2, Bing Image Creator combines accuracy, speed, and cost-effectiveness and can generate high-quality images in just a matter of seconds
