Release list
Version 1.53.0
Download krita_ai_diffusion-1.53.0.zip
For Krita 5 (recommended: Krita 5.3.2.1)
Anima Segmentation Control
Segmentation control layer is now supported for Anima (PR by @Sen-sou).
Instructions:
- Download the model and put it into
models/controlnet - Create a Control Layer and select Segmentation mode
- (Optional) Create a segmentation image from your existing Regions with the
Tbutton - Generate
Upgrades and Removals
- Upgraded managed server to CUDA 13, PyTorch 2.13 and latest ComfyUI
- Now supports int8 / int4 / ConvRot models #2553
- Removed Nunchaku support
- Removed insightface (used by SD1.5/SDXL Face-ID) from managed server install
If you were using the Nunchaku variants of Flux 1, Flux 1 Kontext, Qwen or Z-Image you will have to redownload alternative versions of these models. See models or use the Managed Server installation.
Cloud Changes
As an image generation service, Interstice.cloud complies with EU AI Act Transparency laws.
- Images saved from the history now contain a metadata tag to identify them as AI generated
- Images contain an invisible watermark with a fixed tag that links them to the service (users from EU only)
This does not affect local use!

Control layers for Anima
Supported control modes:
- for official v1.0: Scribble, Line Art, Unblur

Fill, Expand, etc. at full strength now requires the inpaint control model and gives much better results.
Please check the discussion for model downloads! PR by @Sen-sou
Other Changes
- Added ROCm as managed install option for supported AMD GPUs #76 #2315 #2493
- Fixed wrong assignments of
<layer:name>references in prompts - De-duplicate references to the same layer in more cases so they are only passed to the model once

- Fixed the upscale strength slider being permanently disabled after selecting an edit model #2499
- Fixed issues when opening a document, especially with custom workflows #2479

Color match
- Works for all models, but strongest effect on edit models
- Can be disabled in Diffusion settings
- Requires a selection. Matches colors outside of the selection area.
Note
External/custom ComfyUI installs
- Outpaint LoRA is used for Fill/Expand: download →
models/loras/flux-2-klein-4B-outpaint-lora.safetensors - Use "Generate (Custom)" to use regular inpainting (no edit, no LoRA)
- Remember to update comfyui-inpaint-nodes
Other Changes
- Added ControlNet support for Qwen image model by @krigeta #2332
- Fixed Lora widget showing incomplete list or displaying wrong text #2357

- Fixed prompt metadata when using an empty prompt
- Bring back "Add Content" fill mode that was accidentaly removed in a prior version
- Added alternative Flux2 4B model download for non-CUDA managed install

- Removed Omni upscale models 3x/4x from required models list
- Fixed missing extension when creating a default style
