v6.0.0rc3

Invoke's next major release brings many new features plus an improved UI and user experience.

Your feedback is appreciated for this v6.0.0rc3 release candidate.

Core UI Enhancements

• Launchpads: Guided, intuitive interfaces for getting started using Invoke. Each tab has a dedicated launchpad to help you get started.
• New Generate tab for simple Text-to-Image generation, without the need to learn the canvas.
• Updated layout including tabbed Image Viewer.
• Gallery now shows all images at once in a single grid - no pagination.

Enhanced Canvas Experience

• Composition guides (i.e Rule of Thirds) on the bounding box.
• New "Edit" button in image viewer, creating a new canvas with the selected image.
• Toggle all non-Raster layers on/off with Shift + H.
• Updated and intuitive reference image management, now in the left-hand settings panel.
• Improved staging toolbar and navigation.
• Export Canvas to PSD (Photoshop) format.

Other Features and Improvements

• FLUX Kontext Support on Generate, Canvas and Workflows tabs.
• OMI LoRA Support and additional AI Toolkit LoRA support for FLUX.
• Prompt Expansion (Pro Only). Secure, AI-powered prompt enhancement and image-to-prompt conversion.
• 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.

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.
