■ Using These in copainter

Change poses with the AI Assistant
Load the images as reference and quickly generate pose variations such as angle changes, limb position adjustments, and horizontal flipping. Because it’s pose specification, you can also use these images even when specifying poses for male characters.

Ensure consistency with the training feature (Enterprise plan only)
By specifying poses for a trained model, you can achieve high-accuracy pose control. Even highly precise pose control that the AI assistant can’t express can work effectively with trained models. Using an image-to-image AI often yields better results.

Improve efficiency by using them as a base for line-art AI
Use these as rough layouts before applying a line-art AI to speed up production. While using this material as a base, you can retouch and edit in tools like Photoshop or Clip Studio Paint, then run the line-art AI—useful even for difficult compositions.
