Latent Tools — v0.1.0-beta.1 (First Beta)

Local-first Windows desktop app for bulk image-dataset prep: AI watermark
removal, format conversion, and uncensored image captioning — all running
entirely on-device on your own GPU.

This is the first public beta. Expect rough edges; feedback and bug reports
are welcome.

Highlights

  • Watermark removal — Florence-2 open-vocabulary detection finds
    watermarks/logos/text, LaMa (IOPaint) inpaints them out. Manual mask
    brush/eraser editing with undo/redo if the automatic detection needs a
    nudge.
  • Format conversion — JPEG / PNG / WEBP export with quality, lossless,
    compression-level, background-flatten color, and metadata-retention
    controls. Export presets for LoRA / Archive / Web, plus custom
    localStorage-backed presets.
  • Uncensored image captioning — Qwen2-VL-2B / Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct, or
    point it at your own local model folder. Custom system prompts and
    trigger-word support.
  • Bulk dataset processing — folder-in, folder-out batch pipeline built
    for preparing training datasets (e.g. LoRA), not just one-off cleanup.
    Single round-trip /process pipeline (normalize → detect → inpaint →
    caption → convert) for throughput.
  • Single Image Editor — Detect → Remove → Caption stepper with a
    zoomable/pannable canvas mask overlay.
  • Live GPU telemetry — real-time GPU name, VRAM usage, and temperature
    in the titlebar and sidebar.
  • Deep Neon UI — dark, glassy theme; Ctrl + scroll to zoom the whole
    UI (50%–250%).
  • Runs fully local — no cloud calls; a Python (FastAPI) sidecar talks
    to the Electron app over 127.0.0.1 only.

Requirements

  • Windows 10/11
  • A CUDA-capable discrete GPU (Florence-2, LaMa, and Qwen2-VL all run on
    GPU; recommend 12 GB+ VRAM)

Installation

Download and run either:

  • Latent-Tools-Setup-*.exe — NSIS installer
  • Latent-Tools-*-portable.exe — no-install portable build

Known limitations (beta)

  • Windows-only for now.
  • First run downloads model weights (Florence-2, LaMa, Qwen2-VL) from
    Hugging Face — expect a delay and disk usage on first launch.
  • No auto-update mechanism yet — check the Releases page for new versions.
