v6.0.0
Invoke's next major release, 6.0, brings many new features plus an improved UI and user experience.
Core UI Enhancements
We've retired the 5.0 layout and introduced the foundations for a task-specific, flexible, and persistent interface. It should still feel very familiar!
-
Launchpads for Guided Experience: New to a feature? The Generate, Upscale, Workflow, and Model tabs now feature "Launchpads" to guide you through getting started.
-
Customizable Layout: Drag, drop, and resize panels to create the workspace that works for you on each tab. Your custom layout, including your last panel used, is saved automatically, and we have plans to expand customization options in the future for power users.
-
Reference Image Prompt Zone: Updated and intuitive global reference image management, now in the left-hand settings panel.
-
Improved Performance: Tabs now load on demand, resulting in a faster and more responsive experience within each tab.
-
The Infinite Scroll is back, and now shows all images at once in a single grid. We anticipate that the loss of pagination please some, and anger others. We're considering and evaluating ways we can solve for the problem of simple chunk-based navigation here -- Share feedback as you use it!
Enhanced Canvas Experience
The Canvas has been enhanced further to continue to serve as a powerhouse for artists and creators, with a host of new features and workflow improvements.
-
Rule of Thirds Guide: Enable a composition guide to help frame your creations. Enabled in Canvas settings.
-
Bounding Box to Reference Image: Instantly create a new reference image from the contents of the bounding box, using the button next to the Reference image drop zone.
-
New "Edit" button in image viewer, creating a new canvas with the selected image.
-
New "Control Layer Resized" drop zone for adding an automatically optimized control layer to an existing canvas.
-
Overlay Control - Toggle the visibility of all non-raster layers (like Control Layers and Inpaint Masks) with a single click or the Shift+H hotkey.
-
Improved staging toolbar and navigation, with preview image controls available directly on the toolbar.
-
Save All Canvas Generations: A new option allows you to automatically save every image generated on the canvas to your gallery. Available in the Canvas settings.
-
Export Canvas to PSD (Photoshop) - Accessed in the Raster Layers header) - You can now directly export your canvas, with all raster layers intact, to a .psd file for seamless integration with Adobe Photoshop and other compatible image editors.
Other Features and Improvements
-
Full UI integration for FLUX Kontext Dev, allowing you to guide generations with a reference image. This includes support for the dev and quantized (gguf) variants. (Note: No support currently for fp8)
-
LoRA Picker Overhaul: The LoRA list now uses the new model picker, automatically filtering for LoRAs compatible with your selected base model, with the option to display preview images and related models configured within the Model Manager.
-
OMI LoRA Support and additional AI Toolkit LoRA support for FLUX.
-
Countless bug fixes, enhancements and performance improvements.
Installing and Updating
The Invoke Launcher is the recommended way to install, update and run Invoke. It takes care of a lot of details for you - like installing the right version of python - and runs Invoke as a desktop application.
Note: With recent updates to pytorch, users on older GPUs (2XXX series) will likely run into issues with installing/updating. We are still evaluating how we can support older GPUs as torch updates are released within the installer, but in the meantime users have found success manually downgrading torch. Head to Discord if you need help.
Follow the Quick Start guide to get started with the launcher.
If you don't want to use the launcher, or need a headless install, you can follow the manual install guide.
