• Abstract summary: diffusion models show extraordinary talents in text-to-image generation, but they may still fail to generate highly aesthetic images. We propose Cross-Attention Value Mixing Control (VMix) Adapter, a plug-and-play aesthetics adapter. Our key insight is to enhance the aesthetic presentation of existing diffusion models by designing a superior condition control method.

• Abstract: While diffusion models show extraordinary talents in text-to-image generation, they may still fail to generate highly aesthetic images. More specifically, there is still a gap between the generated images and the real-world aesthetic images in finer-grained dimensions including color, lighting, composition, etc. In this paper, we propose Cross-Attention Value Mixing Control (VMix) Adapter, a plug-and-play aesthetics adapter, to upgrade the quality of generated images while maintaining generality across visual concepts by (1) disentangling the input text prompt into the content description and aesthetic description by the initialization of aesthetic embedding, and (2) integrating aesthetic conditions into the denoising process through value-mixed cross-attention, with the network connected by zero-initialized linear layers. Our key insight is to enhance the aesthetic presentation of existing diffusion models by designing a superior condition control method, all while preserving the image-text alignment. Through our meticulous design, VMix is flexible enough to be applied to community models for better visual performance without retraining. To validate the effectiveness of our method, we conducted extensive experiments, showing that VMix outperforms other state-of-the-art methods and is compatible with other community modules (e.g., LoRA, ControlNet, and IPAdapter) for image generation.

  Recently, a number of image-mixing-based augmentation techniques have been introduced to improve the generalization of deep neural networks.

We propose DiffuseMix, a novel data augmentation technique that leverages a diffusion model to reshape training images.

We propose a simple, light-weight image editing algorithm where the mixing weights of the two text embeddings are optimized for style matching and content preservation. Experiments show that the proposed method can modify a wide range of attributes, with the performance outperforming diffusion-model-based image-editing algorithms.
