A method for increasing the inpainting image quality is to use the [`padding_mask_crop`](https://huggingface.co/docs/diffusers/v0.25.0/en/api/pipelines/stable_diffusion/inpaint#diffusers.StableDiffusionInpaintPipeline.__call__.padding_mask_crop) parameter. When enabled, this option crops the masked area with some user-specified padding and it'll also crop the same area from the original image. Both the image and mask are upscaled to a higher resolution for inpainting, and then overlaid on the original image. This is a quick and easy way to improve image quality without using a separate pipeline like [`StableDiffusionUpscalePipeline`].  
Add the `padding_mask_crop` parameter to the pipeline call and set it to the desired padding value.  
```py
import torch
from diffusers import AutoPipelineForInpainting
from diffusers.utils import load_image
from PIL import Image

generator = torch.Generator(device='cuda').manual_seed(0)
pipeline = AutoPipelineForInpainting.from_pretrained("stable-diffusion-v1-5/stable-diffusion-v1-5", torch_dtype=torch.float16).to('cuda')

base = load_image("https://huggingface.co/datasets/YiYiXu/testing-images/resolve/main/seashore.png")
mask = load_image("https://huggingface.co/datasets/YiYiXu/testing-images/resolve/main/seashore_mask.png")

image = pipeline("boat", image=base, mask_image=mask, strength=0.75, generator=generator, padding_mask_crop=32).images[0]
image
