The ControlNet and inpainting sections were where Stable Diffusion finally started clicking for me. I have been able to generate decent images before but getting the exact pose or fixing one bad part without ruining everything else always felt like a guessing game. After following those lessons, I was getting much more intentional results instead of endlessly rerolling prompts. I also really liked the LoRA section because it showed me how much more control Stable Diffusion has once you get past the basic prompt box. Definitely one of those courses where I kept stopping the video to open Stable Diffusion and test things myself.
