The Create node is useful for building workflows that generate, edit and convert different media formats.
The Create node will generate one output for each input, just like every other node in Runchat. This means if you provide a list of prompts, the node will generate a list of output media in parallel.
Generated images are displayed in a grid in both Editor view and App view. The node has several parameters that will be displayed whenever they are required by the generative model.
Prompt
Use the prompt input to describe what you want your image to look like. Newer, larger models are better at following prompts than older, smaller and cheaper models. When using image-to-image models your prompt is still used to describe the qualities of the overall image and can not be used as “direction” for how to change the image (”change the shoe to red” etc). For these use cases, consider using Fal models that support this kind of control using the API Node.
Image / Images / Video
Provide an image / images / video to generate media from. The image parameter is only displayed if you using a model that requires an input image (e.g. 3D or video generation, or other custom models on fal).
Mask
Some models (e.g. Flux 1.1 Pro Fill) allow you to specify a region of the image to edit. You can set this with the mask input.
When you generate multiple images, video or 3D models with the Create node
these will be displayed as a grid. You can drag and drop any image from this
grid onto the canvas to create a new node and work with this image directly.
Image Editing
You can edit images that you generate with the Create node (or upload to Runchat) by double clicking them or clicking the Edit button that appears on hover.
The Image Editor provides the following features:
Layers
Your original image will load as a locked base layer, with an empty layer on top of it for sketching.
You can lock or unlock layers by hovering the layer thumbnail and clicking the lock icon.
To delete a layer, select it and press delete. You can add more layers with the Add button.
The Opacity slider beneath the layers panel allows you to adjust the transaparency of the selected layer. This is especially useful for creating masks.
Pasting Images
You can paste content from your clipboard into a new layer in the image editor with Ctrl+V. These images can then be moved or scaled with the transform tool.
The transform tool allows you to move and scale the currently selected layer. Note that for sketch layers the entire canvas must be transformed.
You can also unlock and transform the base layer if you want to move or scale your base image.
Sketching
You can choose the Brush tool and draw on the image. Change the colour and size of the brush by clicking the colour swatch in the toolbar.
Click on the eraser tool to erase whatever you have sketched on the currently selected layer.
Text Notes
The text tool allows you to add simple text notes to the layer. You can move these around after creating them with the transorm tool.
Crop
The crop tool allows you to reduce the size of the canvas. You cannot increase the size of the canvas.
