Invoke 5.0 Release: Our Biggest Update Yet — A new canvas with Layer & Flux support

Today, we're thrilled to launch the most significant update to Invoke this year: Invoke 5.0. This release introduces Control Canvas, a new tool to generate, iterate, and refine images with unprecedented control and flexibility. We’re also announcing integration with the hugely popular Flux models.

You may notice that some things have moved around. We’ve created a few resources for you to get to know the new Control Canvas and everything new in Invoke 5.0:

• (8 minutes) A short overview of how to complete common tasks in the new Control Canvas
• (23 minutes) A longer workflow demonstration of what is possible in the New Control Canvas and Invoke 5.0
• (~25 minutes) A self-guided tutorial playlist for Getting Started in Invoke

Control Canvas

Building on our Unified Canvas, the new Control Canvas integrates generation, iteration, and refinement into a single workspace. Highlights include:

• Raster Layers: Easily draw, paint, and manipulate shapes or guides that can be moved and resized independently, giving you more flexibility in editing.
• Editable Control Layers: Directly edit Control Layers (e.g., ControlNets) on the canvas, offering precise control over generation tasks without needing to re-upload images.
• Canvas Layer Recall: Save and recall the canvas state of your creation, ensuring that works can be regenerated and saved with the proper metadata.

Flux.1 Model Integration

We’ve partnered with Black Forest Labs to integrate the highly popular Flux.1 models into Invoke. You can now:

• Use Flux’s schnell model for commercial or non-commercial projects and dev models for non-commercial projects in your studio.
• Generate with text-to-image, image-to-image, inpainting, and LoRA support, with more features coming soon.

If you are looking to use Flux [dev] for commercial purposes, you’ll need to obtain a commercial license from Black Forest Labs. This is included as an add-on option in our Professional Edition. If you are interested in learning more, you can get in touch with us.

• Note: Flux Model support is currently only available for local inference on Windows and Linux systems.
