* ABOUT SDXL
Working with SDXL
This family is the applied side of SDXL. The ControlNet variant adds structural guidance so generation follows a supplied layout, and Ad Inpaint is tuned for product advertising — placing or rebuilding a product within a scene.
When to choose SDXL
Choose SDXL when you need structural control or product-ad inpainting on the open SDXL base. Stable Diffusion 3.5 is the newer general generator; Bria Product Shot is the licensed-data alternative for commerce.
Choosing between the variants
SDXL ControlNet is for guided generation where composition must follow an input. SDXL Ad Inpaint is the product-advertising tool and expects a product image to work into a scene.

About SDXL
- What does ControlNet add to SDXL?
- Precise control over structure and detail: the generation follows a guidance input rather than composing freely.
- What is Ad Inpaint built for?
- Product advertising imagery — generating a scene around a product while keeping the product itself intact.
- Is SDXL still worth using over SD 3.5?
- For these two applied variants, yes. For general text-to-image, Stable Diffusion 3.5 is the newer base.
