Step-by-Step Action Checklist

0 / 4 Completed

✓ Step 1 [Prepare high-contrast black-on-white typography]: Place bold calligraphy or your brand mark on a white canvas and apply a slight 3px Gaussian blur to soften hard edges.
✓ Step 2 [Connect brightness/structure ControlNet]: Feed the black-and-white image directly into `ControlNet QRCode Monster` (or FLUX Depth/Lineart) without an extra preprocessor.
✓ Step 3 [Tune start/end step window]: Set weight to `1.15–1.35`, `start_percent: 0.10` and `end_percent: 0.75` so natural scenery forms first and refines cleanly at the end.
✓ Step 4 [Match organic textures to stroke geometry]: Pair brushstroke shapes with winding mountain ridges, pine forests, misty clouds or ocean waves.
