ControlNet Workflow

Use ControlNet for structure control.

What is ControlNet

ControlNet provides additional control over image generation using:

• Edge detection
• Pose detection
• Depth mapping

Control Types

Canny

Edge detection for structure:

Input: Edge map
Effect: Keeps outlines
Best for: Architecture, products

Depth

3D structure:

Input: Depth map
Effect: Maintains depth
Best for: Scenes, compositions

OpenPose

Pose control:

Input: Skeleton
Effect: Character pose
Best for: Character images

Parameters

Strength

Value	Effect
0.3-0.5	Subtle influence
0.6-0.8	Balanced
0.9-1.2	Strong control

Start/End

Setting	Effect
0.0 - 1.0	Full control
0.0 - 0.7	Stop early

Tips

1. Preview preprocessor: Check result before generating
2. Adjust strength: Find balance for your needs
3. Combine ControlNets: Use multiple for complex control

Next Steps

• Canny Control - Edge control
• Depth Control - Depth control
• OpenPose Control - Pose control
