intermediate · 8 lessons · 56 min

Master the professional image-generation craft: workflow, consistency, editing, upscaling, and style.

Anyone can type a prompt and get a picture. This path teaches you to get the *right* picture, on purpose, every time — the full professional workflow from idea to delivery-ready file. You will learn reference-based consistency, platform-smart aspect ratios, surgical AI editing, upscaling, compositing, photorealism, and stylized art directions, all hands-on with VAR2 tools.

Lessons in this path

  3. Aspect Ratios & Resolution: A Platform Playbook

  5. Upscaling & Enhancement: Resolution Done Right

    AI upscaling does not stretch pixels — it invents new ones. Learn when to upscale, by how much, and the flaws it will happily amplify.

  6. Background Removal & Compositing for Product Shots

    7 min

    One clean product cutout equals infinite scenes. Learn pro-grade background removal, believable compositing, and the three things that make a paste-job invisible.

  7. Photorealism: Killing the AI Look

    8 min

    Waxy skin, glowing edges, everything in focus — you know the AI look. Learn the lighting, camera and texture language that makes images read as photographs.
