Hi @anton-I! Thank you for replying.
Should the inpainting pipeline be upgraded to add a further step mixing the original image and the generated but in the image domain.
The issue is that, although the image latents are preserved after the masking, the VAE’s encoding and decoding functions produces losses. For example, after retrieving non-modified faces (not affected by the mask) they look a little bit uglier or distorted. Maybe if there is another further step that mix both images using the mask after the generation the results would improve without interfering the pipeline operation.
