프롬프트 작성하는 기본기부터 차근차근 알려줘서 완전 초보인 저도 어렵지 않게 따라갈 수 있었어요. 예제 이미지가 많아서 어떤 단어를 넣으면 결과가 어떻게 바뀌는지 눈으로 바로 확인할 수 있었던 게 제일 좋았습니다.

Comecei do zero e já estou criando imagens incríveis; as dicas de prompt fizeram toda a diferença pra mim.

Die Grundlagen zu Prompts und Sampling-Methoden werden gut erklärt, nur beim Thema Modelle installieren hätte ich mir eine ausführlichere Anleitung gewünscht.

Als kompletter Neuling im Bereich KI-Bildgenerierung war ich anfangs etwas überfordert von all den Begriffen wie Sampler, Seed oder Checkpoints. Der Kurs nimmt einem diese Angst aber komplett, weil jeder Begriff mit einem einfachen Beispiel erklärt wird. Besonders die Übungen zum Prompt Engineering haben mir geholfen, ein Gefühl dafür zu bekommen, wie kleine Wortänderungen das Bild komplett verändern können. Nach den ersten Lektionen konnte ich schon eigene Kunstwerke erstellen, die ich nie für möglich gehalten hätte. Ich sitze inzwischen fast jeden Abend dran und probiere neue Stile aus.

Nunca pensé que entendería tan rápido cómo estructurar un prompt para conseguir exactamente el estilo de imagen que buscaba.

Der Kurs erklärt Prompt Engineering wirklich anschaulich, allerdings wirkte das Tempo in der Mitte etwas zu schnell für mich als absoluten Anfänger.
