Control Image

Plain-English explanation

Sketches, poses, depth maps, masks, or product references control visual generation more reliably than text prompts alone.

Why it matters

Control Image matters because it affects how AI systems are designed, evaluated, priced, or trusted. Knowing the term helps you ask better questions and avoid vague implementation decisions.

• Ask how it changes quality, cost, speed, or safety.
• Look for concrete examples in the workflow you are building.
• Document the tradeoff before choosing a tool or architecture.
