For those who don't know: If you're inputting an image into ControlNet you don't have to bother setting any of the canvas info. Canvas is ONLY for doodling inside the ControlNet window in the GUI.

Hey this was my first video I’ve seen from you. I just wanted to let you know I liked the pacing and your delivery of the subject matter. You’re doing great!

[NordwulfLive]

This is the first video of yours I have seen. While I have been gobbling up every Stable Diffusion video I can find, yours was one of the most detailed and complete walk through of a start to finish project. Subbed and will be watching more. Great job, keep them coming!

[Hey-Its-Retro]

Thank you for another fabulous video!

It's great that you don't just show how to install the things (like most of the 'others'), but actually seeing you use them and your workflow is pretty much unique in the YouTube A.I. 'scene'. Not many do this, and it's the bit I really enjoy - seeing the potential and possibilities demonstrated by yourself, right there in front of us... So thanks for sharing these valuable lessons with us!

It's very much appreciated!

Probably the most impressive AI generation tutorial I've seen on YouTube. I want to see more people using AI creatively as part of their artistic workflow than simple text to image generation. Thanks!

This is actually amazing! I've been putting off playing with ControlNet as it's seemed really daunting, but this has definitely motivated me to give it a try. I really love the way you present and break down your workflow. It gives me a lot of inspiration and ideas for my own projects!

It's crazy how far things in this space have come in less than a year. It really doesn't seem like that long ago when blurry blobs that sort of resembled your prompt was as good as it got. I can't even begin to think what things will be like this time next year.

Dude, Ive been trying to find videos of people clearly explaining the process. This is great, I learned A LOT from this video.

[qcgeneral]

This is a really well made video. You did a great job explaining the whole process while editing out some of the extra fluff here and there.

[zimnelredoran]

Thankyou for showing the whole process, nicely explained! Loved the final output and how you came to get it : ))

[jasonsmith]

This was so informative and just flat-out Thank you much

[DJVARAO]

I like your video. You can wrap up the mood of the image by prompting cinematic terms, or by selecting a given tonality for the image. Or by calling a particular style vie textual inversion.
Great work!

[mmagrin]

Man, I'm always learning new things from your videos. Thanks a lot! :)

[cerokai]

Very eloquently explained and an impressive tutorial. You are great at making these videos and explaining the mechanics of each step. This will help me ten fold with my own ai art! Thank you very much.

[Hazzel]

really good and advanced tutorial, everything is clean, short and easy to understand commented ! verry nice

[ttvadunkey]

thank you for taking the time to make this amazing tutorial. I hope you and everyone reading has a wonderful day!

Yes, this is what I think artists could use AI for. Not just single button txt to image, but a lot of editting and composition, light testing to get a better results by their artistic eyes. This is why I don't think artist will be replaced by AI.

Thank you for making this video, it was super helpful and filled in a ton of blanks that I was getting watching other videos. Much love, keep up the good work! <3

[Cazametroides]

Super detailed and helpful, and you actually know what you're doing, thanks a lot!
