ControlNet
Also said as
pose controldepth controledge control
ControlNet is a technique that puts guardrails on image generation — feeding the model a pose, depth map, or edge outline so the output follows a structure you chose.
Why it matters to your business
It's the difference between hoping the generator gets it right and telling it where limbs go or how a product shot is framed — the control layer that makes output predictable enough for repeatable work.
The catch · what vendors don't say
Control means complexity: these are workflow tools with real learning curves, not one-click features — the control comes at the cost of skill.
