What Is the Difference Between Using the Same Seed and a Start Image

---

😎 In Stable Diffusion, what is the difference between creating an image with the same seed as other, and using the other image as “start image”?

🤖 That is a very good question. In Stable Diffusion, the difference between creating an image with the same seed as another, and using the other image as a “start image” is:

• When you create an image with the same seed as another, you are using the same random number generator to initialize the diffusion process. This means that the noise patterns that are added and removed from the image are identical for both images. However, the text prompt that guides the image generation can be different, so the final images may not look exactly the same. For example, if you use the same seed but different prompts, such as “a red car” and “a blue car”, you will get two images that have similar shapes and features, but different colors.

• When you use another image as a “start image”, you are using a pre-existing image as the initial state of the diffusion process. This means that the noise patterns that are added and removed from the image are different for each image, depending on the random seed. However, the text prompt that guides the image generation can be the same or different, so the final images may or may not look similar to the start image. For example, if you use the same prompt but different start images, such as a photo of a car and a photo of a dog, you will get two images that have some resemblance to the original photos, but also some changes according to the prompt.
