Are there still plans for canvas improvements?

[The-Istar]

I remember in the beginning (when it was still StableswarmUI_it was often said that the Canvas and in/out painting functions where going to be overhauled an massively improved.
And although some things have been added and changed it is still no where near as usable as the one from InvokeAI.
Now I don't want to compare the 2 product as obviously they are very different with different goals, but basic functionality like in and out painting still seems overly complicated in SwarmUI.
Worst of all, and on top of that, There is nothing in the docs about how to actually use the canvas.

I remember there was something on the old github in the new features section about how to outpaint. I recently wanted to try this again but for the life of me could not remember how to properly do it. I remember that I needed to move the image and create a mask, but I totally forgot how to then join the new and old area. And there was nothing in the docs about this.
Let alone a proper description on how to use the sliders to get good results as there does not seem to be 1 easy to use and "denoising strength" slider.

Don't get me wrong, SwarmUI is a great product, I was just wondering if the canvas was going to still get some actual love and easy of use features in the future? And maybe some proper documentation?

Inpainting is pretty easy in Swarm imo. Not as advanced as Invoke, but for all basic operations it's crazy easy to do.

Outpainting is a bit janky still yeah. The old guide for that is here: Stability-AI/StableSwarmUI#360

there does not seem to be 1 easy to use and "denoising strength" slider. the "Init Image Creativity" is that.

Yes I still want to expand the Edit Image interface. Bear in mind I'm one person doing this for free, there's ten thousand things to do and not enough time to do it all. Need more contributors submitting PRs.

Re documentation: I love having good docs, but I also hesitate to write docs about things that are gonna change. That's why that old outpainting guide is a random Discussion board post - the screenshots are all outdated already, and at some point there will be a more dedicated way to do outpainting easily instead of janking it like that.

Thanks for the quick reply @mcmonkey4eva!
I know you are a one man team and I did not want to sound overly critical or pushy.
I was just a bit frustrated with the current canvas not doing what I wanted and this might have leaked into my question.
Good to know it is still on your radar at least!
And thanks for your help and great work!

@mcmonkey4eva can you just add this feature this is for outpainting

resize camera view

so lets say i upload 1024x1024 image and i can expand camera view to 1280x1280 so it can outpaint all areas
