Master the art of image generation, from prompt to pixel.
From understanding how AI sees the world to creating stunning visuals for any purpose — this masterclass covers everything you need to become a visual AI expert.
Text-to-image generation is the process of creating visual content from written descriptions using artificial intelligence. Think of it as having a conversation with an infinitely creative artist.
Diffusion models learn by gradually adding noise to images, then reversing the process. It's like watching a photo emerge from static.
Noise Random pixel patterns that the model gradually transforms into coherent images → Denoising Steps → Final Image
The difference between a mediocre and stunning AI image often comes down to how you write your prompt.
"a cat"
"A fluffy orange tabby cat lounging on a velvet cushion, golden hour sunlight streaming through a window, soft bokeh background, professional pet photography, 8K, highly detailed fur texture"
Write a basic prompt and see how adding modifiers transforms it.

Tell the AI what you don't want, and emphasize what matters most.
Remove unwanted elements from your generations
Higher numbers = more emphasis on that element
Different tools use different syntax to control emphasis and structure.
The real magic happens when you combine AI generation with traditional editing software.
💡 Pro tip: Always work non-destructively with adjustment layers and smart objects.
Low-Rank Adaptation — small model add-ons that teach the AI new styles, characters, or concepts without retraining from scratch.
