The Models tab

In the models tab you can select niche models to cater to different image styles and also loras, which will enhance your images in various ways. It could for example be adding a lora to make everything look like glass.

Drag your preferred image into the input image box and that will be used for your output. Using upscale will make your image larger, while image prompt will let you create images in a similar style. Try inpaint or outpaint to adjust details in your image or to expand the canvas.
