Strength argument for StableDiffusionInpaintPipeline.__call__() in diffusers==0.6.0

[mrgomdev]

In previous inpainting pipeline(now StableDiffusionInpaintPipelineLegacy ) has the strength argument for set an offset, an independant argument from num_inference_steps . Is there any reason to remove that feature? Intuitively it could be different, small num_inference_steps vs large num_inference_steps x low strength, including noise from the starting timestep.

I've just thought, is it related to not calling scheduler.add_noise() in the newer pipeline.call()?

Hey @mrgomdev,

strength is not really removed -> the previous experimental pipeline was just moved to:

diffusers/src/diffusers/pipelines/stable_diffusion/pipeline_stable_diffusion_inpaint_legacy.py

Line 152 in 8332c1a

strength: float = 0.8,

In the official inpainting pipeline this is however not needed because only the mask is ever filled and not the rest :-)

I understood that I can use StableDiffusionInpaintPipelineLegacy with strength, or StableDiffusionInpaintPipeline with just num_inference_steps. Thanks!
I need to check out more detail of the recent official inapinting pipeline with the new model.
