Hello,
I’ve created a workflow to generate an image using DreamStudio. Once the workflow is initiated, the image is located in the TMP directory: “1 new image was successfully generated and sent to /tmp/img_000.png”. I’d like to use this image in another step. Do you have any suggestions on how I can achieve this? Are there any tutorials you could recommend?
Thank you for your help.
Hi @Frozbee
Great question and cool use of A.I. with a Pipedream workflow.
You can use Node.js or Python to load the saved file from the /tmp directory.
We covered how to resize images using Python on our most recent weekly demo. You can rewatch it, or read how we resized DALL-E 3 generated images stored in /tmp here: File Stores Live Demo Recap and Workflows
Here’s quick links to our documentation that shows you how to open files stored in /tmp:
Hope this helps!
Hello Pierce,
I understand that it’s possible to resize DALL-E images with Pipe Dream, but is it possible to use Pipe Dream to incorporate an image generated by DreamStudio into a new node?
ve reached the stage of using a Node.js to be able to use the image generated in another one, but I’m stuck at this point. Am I missing something?
Best regards,
Hi @Frozbee,
Yes you can access the stored DreamStudio image in /tmp with Node.js or Python.
Here’s quick links to our documentation that shows you how to open files stored in /tmp:
Again, these files are stored in /tmp, you won’t see the actual image file in the step exports. Please consider watching the video I linked to as well, because it’s the same process but with another image generation tool, but the process to resize the images is the same.
Hi Pierce,
Thank you very much for your fast reply, i will have a look and try.
Thanks ! 
So, for grabbing that image, you can usually just copy it from the TMP directory to wherever you need it. If it’s a script, maybe add a copy command after the image is generated.
