Painting tool (Sketch, Inpaint, IMG2IMG, inpaint sketch etc)- confusing!

[blkdiablo]

I tried to google this for extra information but it's poorly documentation since any info on google/internet is outdated and not relevant to Automatic1111 since the automatic1111 included many features that are not explained clearly or demonstrated well. (It's strange that those features are added and there is no documentation on how those suppose to help or better user's experience. ).

Take a look at attached screenshot of painting tool

So, I checked google and they only explained sufficiently for img2img and inpainting. Now this automatic1111 added some confusing and unexplained features that can't be self explained whenever I tried to do or use those. I have zero success on those features because I have no idea on what those are supposed to do or how it meant to achieve, or how I suppose to use those. (simply put, if you don't know how to use feature, then you won't use feature at all and that feature will be unused/waste/pointless).

I understood about img2img option.

I don't understand nor see how useful the Sketch, Inpaint sketch. And I don't understand what is the difference between Sketch and Inpaint/Inpaint sketch?

And I don't understand any option at the bottom of screenshot, particularly "Mask Blur", "Masked Content", "Inpaint area" and the worst of all "only masked padding, pixels" (what is that?!).

Much appreciated for the explanation.

Also, apparently inpainting can be used to remove extra fingers or correct face/a bit of model etc. I don't see how removing extra finger can be done inpainting (lack of tutorial) so if people can explain how that can be done, that would be much appreciated again.

Thank you!

Thanks @ClashSAN for your detailed explanation. I'll try those steps you suggested tonight and see how it works.

One question though - how do you zoom in "inpaint"/"sketch" windows? I want to mask fine line and small area but it's quite hard to squint my eyes at fine line and small area without zooming in.

Thanks again for advice on how to zoom in for masking purpose.

the feature isn't in. #5943
you can click ctrl and + to zoom in in browser in the meantime to get precise with the marker. There are also more options in the form of the Krita plugin extension.

Thanks again. How do I get and install that Krita plugin extension into automatic1111? Thanks again. @ClashSAN
