Manual
CoCo Image Studio is a workbench for generating images with AI, running on your own computer. This manual follows the order you’ll actually use it in: install, generate your first image, then one area at a time.

How CoCo is laid out
Section titled “How CoCo is laid out”There are three spaces along the top:
| Space | What it’s for |
|---|---|
| Studio | Generate, explore, compare, recombine, refine and output, step by step |
| Library | Every image you’ve generated: search, filter, rate, move |
| Training | Datasets, tagging and LoRA training |
The steps inside the studio:
| Step | What it does |
|---|---|
| Generate | Write a prompt, pick a model and LoRAs, generate a batch |
| Explore | Find images with a similar composition or mood |
| Compare | Side by side, slider, diff table and a tournament to pick the best |
| Recombine | Take the winner apart and mix its parts with others |
| Refine | Inpaint, fix faces, upscale or outpaint a single image |
| Output | Layer editing, collages, watermarks, batch export |
Each step works on its own — you don’t have to go in order.
