I recently discovered and fell in love with ControlNet. While we've all uesd with AI , have you ever thought of more precisely controlling the generated images? Have you been frustrated by repeatedly adjusting keywords to generate a satisfactory image? If so, you must try MinisterAI's ControlNet.

First, I have good news - using ControlNet requires no model downloads. You simply log into your MinisterAI account online, select "Stable Diffusion" and then choose "ControINet" from the dropdown menu. This saves the hassle of downloads and installation, allowing you to easily use ControlNet anytime, anywhere.

I'll introduce some of the ControlNet models I commonly use:

Canny (Edge Detection) - This model can identify edge information from the input image, allowing us to generate line art from uploaded photos then generate images with the same composition based on keywords. You specify the image size, generated amount, model and Lora. After uploading an example image, input forward and backward prompts as needed. Remember to check "Canny".

Normal (Normal Maps) - This model can extract 3D object normals from the original image, with the new image having exactly the same lighting effects as the original. With this model, composition can be mostly restored while background and subject can be controlled via the prompt, and more details can be tweaked by adjusting parameters.

OpenPose (Pose Detection) - OpenPose achieves precise pose control through pose recognition, allowing us to generate not just single poses but multiple poses. Additionally, AI-generated hands sometimes have issues which openpose_hand model greatly improves. If you just want to improve face position, you can select openpose_faceonly.

MLSD (Architectural Rendering) - MLSD can construct architectural frames by analyzing lines and geometric shapes in the image. This model is great for architects and interior designers.

These are some of the ControlNet models I commonly use, though ControlNet has many more for you to discover. Compared to Stable Diffusion, MinisterAI has similar functionality but saves a ton of download, installation time and storage space. Even if your hardware can't support SD, you can still easily generate images.

In the AI art world, ControlNet is like a beacon lighting up the path ahead. I hope my sharing helps you, and that you come to love this wonderful tool as much as I do.
