2. Run the downloaded file and follow the prompts of the installation wizard.
   

3. After installing the Model Loader, launch it to download the models required for image generation.

   To start loading, click the Load button.

   

4. Wait for the model download to complete, then close the Model Loader window.

   Now, you can use the AI → Image Generation module.

 

Attention!

To run the AI-powered Image Generation module, you need a discrete (not integrated) NVIDIA graphics card with at least 6-8 GB of memory (NVIDIA 1060+), the NVIDIA App installed, and up-to-date drivers.

For optimal operation of other AI filters, you need a discrete graphics card with at least 3 Gb memory and the latest version of a driver for the graphics card. Otherwise, the processing will be performed by the CPU. The program will still work, but a bit slower.

See the system requirements.

 

Installation on a Computer Not Connected to the Internet

To install the program on a computer without internet access, follow this step-by-step guide:

• First, download the setup file.
• Right-click the Start button and select Run from the context menu.
• In the dialog box, click Browse… and locate the setup file you previously downloaded on your computer.
• In the input field of the Run dialog box, add the text /layout at the end of the file path. Then click OK to start the process.
• A download process will begin. All required installation files will be automatically saved next to the original setup file.
• Copy the original setup file as well as all newly downloaded files to a USB flash drive.
• Connect the USB drive to the computer that has no internet connection. Make sure to transfer all files from the USB drive to your computer - not just the setup file. Then open the setup file and follow the instructions of the installation wizard. The image editor will then be installed as usual.
