Artifacts show up on outputs when using sharp edge mask

[karolzak]

Hi!

When I programmatically generate masks for inpainting (with very sharp edges, no blur or smooth transitioning between mask/background) I get slightly worse outputs (visible artifacts) but when I apply Gaussian Blur on these masks, the results are suddenly much better.

Anyone knows where is this coming from?

	good results from blurred edge masks	visible artifacts from sharp edge masks

mask histogram

Did you figure why it's occurring? Did you decided to blur all the masks before using them in the model?

Yes, bluring seems to help for my inputs, so I kept it
