Cubric Vision - Image Tools

Image Tools

Image operations for masking, cropping, resizing, upscaling, and refining still assets from History.

Tool palette

The image tool palette lives in the History workspace. Pick the operation that matches the next change you want, adjust its options, then apply it from the tool panel or run a prompt operation from the Prompt Box.

Image tools are non-destructive. Applying crop, resize, upscale, or a prompt operation creates a new History entry so the original entry remains available.

Mask tool

Use Mask when a prompt operation should affect only part of the image. Paint a mask manually with the brush, switch to the eraser when needed, and adjust the brush size while you work.

After a mask is ready, use the Prompt Box or the radial operation menu to choose an operation such as Detail. The active mask is passed into the operation when the selected model supports mask-based work.

Auto-detect masks

The Mask tool can detect faces, people, or hands and turn selected detections into a mask. Choose whether detected areas should be drawn as boxes or as segments that trace the detected subject more closely.

Detected candidates can be selected before the mask is applied. In the example below, three faces were detected and two were selected.

Crop tool

Use Crop to define a new image frame. You can free-crop by dragging the crop handles, or choose preset ratio groups such as SDXL, Flux, and common social media formats.

Applying the crop creates a new image entry based on the selected crop area.

Image Crop tool with a crop box and ratio presets for SDXL, Flux, and social media formats — Preset ratios help you frame an image for model-friendly output sizes or social media formats.

Resize tool

Use Resize when you need a different output size without changing the image through a generative model. The preview updates live as you change the target size or ratio settings.

When ratio options are expanded, the settings panel can push the preview lower in the tool panel. Apply creates a new resized entry.

Image Resize tool showing width, height, scale, and a live preview of the resized image — The Resize preview updates while you adjust the settings.

Image Resize tool with ratio presets expanded and the live preview pushed lower in the settings panel — Ratio presets fill more of the panel, but the live preview remains available before you apply the resize.

Upscale tool

Use Upscale to enlarge the selected image. If no upscale model is selected, the tool behaves like a simple scale-up. If an upscale model is selected, Cubric Vision uses that model and can produce a better enlarged result depending on the model.

Applying the upscale creates a new image entry.

Image Upscale tool with upscale controls and no model selected — Without a selected model, Upscale performs a straightforward enlargement.

Image Upscale tool with an upscale model selected from the model dropdown — Selecting an upscale model routes the operation through that model for improved results when the model is suitable.

Latent previews

When a ComfyUI operation is running, Cubric Vision can show latent previews as intermediate frames come back from the engine. These previews help you see whether a long operation is moving in the right direction before the final result appears.

History workspace showing a later latent preview during the same masked image operation — Later previews make it easier to judge whether the current operation should continue.

Common image operations

Text-to-image. Create a base image from a prompt.
Image-to-image. Rework an existing image while keeping some of its structure.
Detailer / masking. Repair or refine a selected region such as a face, hand, or object.
Upscale. Enlarge a chosen result for sharper output.
