4.1 · Recall

1. What exactly does Vary (Region) do in Midjourney?

It regenerates the whole image with a new seed It increases the image resolution It changes the model version used It regenerates only the selected area, blended with the rest

Inpainting fixes locally; Pan and Zoom Out extend the image (outpainting).

4.1 · Application

2. Sonia's poster is perfect except for a botched hand. What does she do?

She selects the hand with context, describes the area and retries She regenerates everything hoping for better She crops to cut the hand out She switches generators

A successful image is a fragile asset: repair it locally, area prompt, with retries.

4.2 · Recall

3. What is the main limiting factor for generating with local Stable Diffusion?

The graphics card's VRAM Internet connection speed Screen size System RAM

Without enough video memory, generation is slow or impossible on recent models.

4.2 · Application

4. Sonia starts locally for a confidential catalog. Where does she start?

By training her own LoRA With Automatic1111: one base model, one setting at a time By stacking three ControlNets at once By buying a GPU farm

A1111 for fundamentals, then ComfyUI when sequences repeat.

4.2 · Arbitration

5. A client demands total confidentiality for product visuals. What decision?

Blur the visuals after sending them online Send them to an online service anyway, nobody will look Work locally: nothing leaves the machine, license-verified model Stop using AI entirely

Local guarantees privacy by design; the model's license is verified.

4.3 · Recall

6. What does ControlNet with OpenPose allow?

Automatically erasing a background Enforcing a precise pose from a control image Enlarging an image to high resolution Writing error-free text in the image

ControlNet enforces structure; IP-Adapter transfers a reference; LoRA learns a concept.

4.3 · Application

7. Sonia wants the same model across ten visuals. Which lever?

A stronger upscale The same seed typed by hand The same prompt with nothing else IP-Adapter with the reference photo (or a character LoRA)

IP-Adapter transfers the reference face; LoRA lastingly learns the character.

4.3 · Application

8. Sonia finds the exact wanted style as an online LoRA. Before commercial use, what does she check?

The LoRA license and the base-model license, from a reputable source Nothing: everything online is free Only the download count Only the file size

Some community models forbid commercial use: verified license, reputable source.

4.3 · Arbitration

9. For an in-house LoRA, a colleague suggests training on a living artist's paintings without permission. Sonia's decision?

She trains then deletes the sources She agrees: it's for internal use She refuses: only images whose rights she holds She agrees if she credits the artist in small print

Training on works without permission raises rights issues: in-house or licensed image set.

4.4 · Application

10. Sonia must deliver a large-format banner from a generated image. In which order does she work?

Color grading then fixing Upscale first, fix after Generation then direct export She fixes flaws, then enlarges, then harmonizes

Enlarging a flaw makes it more visible: fix first, check at 100% after upscaling.

4.4 · Application

11. After creative upscaling, the client's logo is slightly altered. What does Sonia do?

She enlarges even harder She switches back to a conservative setting, compares with the original and fixes by hand She leaves it: nobody will notice She changes the logo

Creative upscalers invent detail: on a constrained subject, conservative setting + check.

4.5 · Arbitration

12. A client asks for the logo and slogan built directly by the generator to go fast. Sonia's answer?

She refuses any AI on the project She outsources without checking She generates with free space then adds logo and type after, exact and editable She obeys: everything in the prompt, typos aside

Text, logo and brand colors are added after, in the right tool — never left to prompt chance.

What's next?

Score ≥ 80%: move to Level 5 — generative production and video, and industrialize your chain (documented sheet, prompt types, archives).
Score 50-79%: revisit the missed sections (local retouching 4.1, local 4.2, driving 4.3, finishing 4.4, chain 4.5), reread the explanations above, then retake the test.
Score < 50%: restart the level from 4.1, practicing each action (Vary Region, A1111, one ControlNet, Generative Fill, chain sheet), then retry the exam with a fresh mind.
