00:00 - 00:04
I've made almost 75,000 mid Journey
00:02 - 00:06
images and here are 18 more tips that I
00:04 - 00:10
think you should know about tip number
00:06 - 00:11
one use mid Journey as an upscaler this
00:10 - 00:13
involves the new editor and while you
00:11 - 00:15
may not have access to it at the moment
00:13 - 00:17
this will surely come in handy in the
00:15 - 00:19
future to use the editor you need at
00:17 - 00:21
least 10,000 images made or a yearly
00:19 - 00:24
membership or 12 consecutive months with
00:21 - 00:25
a subscription when you go into the new
00:24 - 00:28
editor you can upload an image from your
00:25 - 00:31
computer or a URL I found this picture
00:28 - 00:35
of Carlos Delgato from like 20 04 it's
00:31 - 00:36
350X 226 pixels this is a blurry mess
00:35 - 00:38
what we're going to do is lower the
00:36 - 00:40
brush size and then all we need to do is
00:38 - 00:42
make a very small selection somewhere on
00:40 - 00:44
the picture like that's it right there
00:42 - 00:46
at the top it's so small you can't even
00:44 - 00:49
see it we need to write something in our
00:46 - 00:52
prompt it can be anything keep it short
00:49 - 00:54
one word works yeah and then we'll click
00:52 - 00:56
on submit edit this is going to create
00:54 - 00:57
four options for you and they're all
00:56 - 00:59
going to be blurry still but that's not
00:57 - 01:02
the trick what we need to do is scroll
00:59 - 01:03
down here and click upscale to Gallery
01:02 - 01:05
which means it's going to take this
01:03 - 01:09
picture and turn it into something like
01:05 - 01:10
this isn't that wild look how clear and
01:09 - 01:13
crisp that picture is now that is from
01:10 - 01:15
like 20 years ago mid journey is able to
01:13 - 01:18
upscale it and I think this is so cool
01:15 - 01:20
tip number two experiment without
01:18 - 01:22
commitment you got to try this you can
01:20 - 01:24
see yourself with tattoos again this is
01:22 - 01:26
using the new MID Journey editor and I
01:24 - 01:28
didn't even realize you can do this
01:26 - 01:30
until mid Journey accidentally served up
01:28 - 01:33
this picture for me look how how funny
01:30 - 01:35
that is isn't that hilarious all you
01:33 - 01:36
need to do is upload an image erase
01:35 - 01:38
parts that you want to change and enter
01:36 - 01:40
a prompt okay I kind of screwed up by
01:38 - 01:42
erasing parts of my face which is why it
01:40 - 01:45
looks a little funny but isn't this
01:42 - 01:47
awesome again experiment with tattoos
01:45 - 01:49
without commitment tip number three
01:47 - 01:51
suggested prompt if you are using the
01:49 - 01:53
new editor and you want to add something
01:51 - 01:55
to the image your prompt might be
01:53 - 01:57
getting in the way in painting can be a
01:55 - 01:59
little tricky sometimes so try this
01:57 - 02:01
upload your image and then look for
01:59 - 02:03
suggest prompt this is basically the
02:01 - 02:05
described feature mid journey is going
02:03 - 02:07
to write a prompt that describes this
02:05 - 02:09
scene then in order to in paint we're
02:07 - 02:11
just going to adjust the prompt slightly
02:09 - 02:13
so let's erase a part of the image and
02:11 - 02:15
then we'll go up here right after a wide
02:13 - 02:17
shot of the beach in Vietnam I'm going
02:15 - 02:19
to write a Godzilla like monster is
02:17 - 02:21
emerging from the water and look at that
02:19 - 02:23
result in particular isn't that wild
02:21 - 02:26
don't forget about the suggested prompt
02:23 - 02:28
tip number four silver Point big special
02:26 - 02:30
thanks to Lea from my school Community
02:28 - 02:32
the future Tech Academy she shared the
02:30 - 02:34
word Silver Point with us and look what
02:32 - 02:36
it creates I had never heard of this
02:34 - 02:38
myself and I'm blown away it's such a
02:36 - 02:40
simple word but it can create such a
02:38 - 02:43
strong effect that word will generate
02:40 - 02:46
these very intricate desaturated
02:43 - 02:48
drawings isn't that so cool simple easy
02:46 - 02:51
to remember try silver Point tip number
02:48 - 02:53
five a new workflow here is a new
02:51 - 02:54
workflow for your long mid Journey
02:53 - 02:56
sessions create all your pictures
02:54 - 02:58
normally and then you're going to
02:56 - 03:01
rightclick on the pictures you like and
02:58 - 03:03
click like simple right then in your
03:01 - 03:05
gallery you can filter by liked images
03:03 - 03:07
and then it's easy to download them
03:05 - 03:10
select the entire day boom there you go
03:07 - 03:11
tip number six hide images easier
03:10 - 03:13
building off that last trick and
03:11 - 03:14
something I didn't realize until
03:13 - 03:17
multiple people pointed it out in my
03:14 - 03:19
last video you can also hide images
03:17 - 03:21
after right clicking look if you've made
03:19 - 03:23
a bunch of generations your creation
03:21 - 03:25
feed can seem pretty hectic I just think
03:23 - 03:26
it's a good habit to clean up your feet
03:25 - 03:29
as you go along by using the hide
03:26 - 03:30
feature tip number seven keep your hands
03:30 - 03:34
they finally added a button that you can
03:32 - 03:36
click on to submit your jobs before you
03:34 - 03:38
had to use the enter key on your
03:36 - 03:40
keyboard now you can simply click this
03:38 - 03:42
button at the top so it's like you write
03:40 - 03:44
your prompt and then you use your mouse
03:42 - 03:45
to open those options then you can keep
03:44 - 03:47
your hand on the mouse and click the
03:45 - 03:49
submit button I don't want to take
03:47 - 03:51
credit for this but I'm going to take
03:49 - 03:53
credit for this I actually left this as
03:51 - 03:54
feedback on the Discord Channel I said
03:53 - 03:56
there should be a button beside the
03:54 - 03:58
prompt box that you can click to run the
03:56 - 04:00
generation David himself responded why
03:58 - 04:02
is it important to have a button and I
04:00 - 04:04
tried to explain myself a little because
04:02 - 04:06
sometimes I'll have one hand on my
04:04 - 04:08
keyboard for copy and pasting like parts
04:06 - 04:10
of a prompt or srf codes and then I'll
04:08 - 04:12
have one hand on my mouse it was hard to
04:10 - 04:14
get into a flow State when I had to
04:12 - 04:16
constantly take my hand off the mouse in
04:14 - 04:17
order to hit enter on my keyboard I
04:16 - 04:19
thought it was pretty simple and I guess
04:17 - 04:21
their team agreed I hope this one makes
04:19 - 04:24
you more comfortable too tip number
04:21 - 04:26
eight amused facial expressions can be
04:24 - 04:27
difficult to control in mid Journey
04:26 - 04:29
because if you don't mention anything in
04:27 - 04:31
your prompt you'll probably generate a
04:29 - 04:33
character with a very Stern and cold
04:31 - 04:36
look definitely soulless and if you use
04:33 - 04:38
words like excited or even happy you
04:36 - 04:40
might get some wide-eyed monstrosity
04:38 - 04:42
showing you a lot of teeth not ideal
04:40 - 04:45
either so try this word in your prompts
04:42 - 04:48
when you want a realistic smile amused
04:45 - 04:50
amused generates the perfect resemblance
04:48 - 04:52
of a satisfied human tip number nine
04:50 - 04:54
paradia this is actually that
04:52 - 04:57
psychological phenomenon where people
04:54 - 04:59
can see faces in random objects and if
04:57 - 05:01
you use that specific word it's going to
04:59 - 05:03
Trigg a really specific effect like look
05:01 - 05:05
at these how funny is that the word
05:03 - 05:07
itself is pretty cool and surreal but
05:05 - 05:09
look what happens when you use other
05:07 - 05:11
objects in the prompt like look how
05:09 - 05:13
funny that is the bubbles are acting as
05:11 - 05:14
eyes but it has a reflection like that
05:13 - 05:16
is so cool I know this one's a little
05:14 - 05:18
weird but maybe you'll find the perfect
05:16 - 05:21
use case for it someday tip number 10
05:18 - 05:22
search is so powerful you can actually
05:21 - 05:24
search the entirety of mid Journey
05:22 - 05:25
public images using that feature in the
05:24 - 05:27
top right corner when you're in the
05:25 - 05:29
organized tab that search bar is going
05:27 - 05:31
to take you through your images but on
05:29 - 05:33
the explore page you get to see everyone
05:31 - 05:35
else's but here is the crazy part when
05:33 - 05:37
you find something you like click on it
05:35 - 05:40
and then click that little search icon
05:37 - 05:41
again that magnifying glass this will
05:40 - 05:43
take you to a deeper layer where you
05:41 - 05:45
will only see images that resemble the
05:43 - 05:47
one you clicked on this is a way to
05:45 - 05:49
really hone in on a specific look it's
05:47 - 05:52
great for photography terms and looks
05:49 - 05:54
like that tip number 11 synonyms
05:52 - 05:56
piggybacking off some previous tips you
05:54 - 05:58
can even search for Concepts like
05:56 - 06:00
paradia and it will actually show you
05:58 - 06:01
images that match the definition even if
06:00 - 06:03
they don't contain the word in the
06:01 - 06:05
prompt isn't that wild like what a
06:03 - 06:07
sophisticated and fun Search tool you
06:05 - 06:09
can learn all types of different ways to
06:07 - 06:11
say the same thing like this one a rock
06:09 - 06:13
formation resembling an elephant's head
06:11 - 06:15
situated at top of mountain in China
06:13 - 06:17
against a white background no mention of
06:15 - 06:20
paradia but paradia brings up this
06:17 - 06:23
picture it's really cool or this one a
06:20 - 06:25
funny thing that only happens in Ohio
06:23 - 06:27
why why would mid Journey create this I
06:25 - 06:29
don't know but mid Journey knows that
06:27 - 06:32
this looks like the idea of paradia tip
06:29 - 06:34
number 12 search your Creations you can
06:32 - 06:36
search through your prompts on the
06:34 - 06:38
create page this will help you get back
06:36 - 06:39
to the full grid generation like maybe
06:38 - 06:41
you have a picture in your gallery that
06:39 - 06:43
you like but you want to see the rest of
06:41 - 06:45
the grid it came from you can't really
06:43 - 06:47
do that but we can take some keywords go
06:45 - 06:49
to the creation page and search and
06:47 - 06:51
there it is there's the grid it came
06:49 - 06:54
from that might come in handy for you
06:51 - 06:56
tip number 13 random retexture going
06:54 - 06:58
back to the new editor for a moment you
06:56 - 07:01
can use srf random while you're
06:58 - 07:03
retexturing like take a look at this so
07:01 - 07:06
we'll click on retexture and then at the
07:03 - 07:07
end of The Prompt we can type D- srf
07:06 - 07:09
random now I guess I don't really know
07:07 - 07:11
the style that this code creates but we
07:09 - 07:13
could expect results like this look how
07:11 - 07:15
cool that is I guess it's sort of a
07:13 - 07:18
minimal painterly melting look I like
07:15 - 07:19
that a lot don't forget about srf random
07:18 - 07:23
when you're using retexture tip number
07:19 - 07:25
14 retexture 2.0 so you can style
07:23 - 07:27
reference with retexture but image
07:25 - 07:29
prompting is also kind of cool albeit it
07:27 - 07:30
is a little hard to predict what will
07:29 - 07:32
happen though let's take this black
07:30 - 07:34
penting sketch of an armadillo I'll
07:32 - 07:36
select this blue and orange picture as
07:34 - 07:38
an example and I'll run it as a style
07:36 - 07:40
reference and like these are kind of
07:38 - 07:41
cool or whatever I don't mind that one
07:40 - 07:43
and that one too but what happens if we
07:41 - 07:45
turn this into an image prompt it's
07:43 - 07:47
going to be a little different like look
07:45 - 07:49
it that wow again I don't know if it's
07:47 - 07:51
easy to describe what the difference is
07:49 - 07:54
but there is a difference you can even
07:51 - 07:56
bump up the image weight Das Dash IW and
07:54 - 07:58
then a value of three at the end of your
07:56 - 08:00
prompt and that will create images like
07:58 - 08:02
these holy cow I just got goosebumps oh
08:00 - 08:04
look how intense and beautiful that is I
08:02 - 08:07
love the way the character extends past
08:04 - 08:09
the black bars just so cool don't forget
08:07 - 08:12
about that little trick you might like
08:09 - 08:13
the results tip number 15 the triple
08:12 - 08:16
building off that last one let's hit a
08:13 - 08:18
retexture with a triple reference style
08:16 - 08:20
reference character reference and image
08:18 - 08:22
prompt to do that we can hold shift on
08:20 - 08:24
our keyboard to select more than one
08:22 - 08:25
reference again it's pretty hard to
08:24 - 08:27
understand what's going to happen but
08:25 - 08:29
I'm a fan of this process I think the
08:27 - 08:30
results can be pretty cool you could
08:29 - 08:32
even hit him with the triple triple if
08:30 - 08:35
you're feeling wild select two more
08:32 - 08:38
images and then add all three references
08:35 - 08:39
to both of them oh dang that one's cool
08:38 - 08:42
I like that one a lot too those white
08:39 - 08:44
eyes that's creepy and consider adding a
08:42 - 08:46
stop value to create that effect of a
08:44 - 08:48
blurring image basically mid journey is
08:46 - 08:51
going to stop the process at a certain
08:48 - 08:54
point rather than 100% 20 is probably a
08:51 - 08:56
little low 50 might even be a little low
08:54 - 08:58
but I thought 87 looked pretty cool like
08:56 - 09:01
look at that that's amazing tip number
08:58 - 09:03
16 think out Inside the Box retexturing
09:01 - 09:05
can do more than just change Styles it
09:03 - 09:07
can change the entire subject you just
09:05 - 09:09
need to think outside the box a little
09:07 - 09:11
bit like take this weird picture of a
09:09 - 09:14
person in a twil pose we can use the
09:11 - 09:17
retexture to turn him into a leafy Green
09:14 - 09:19
Bush in Central Park like look at that
09:17 - 09:21
that's wild mid Journey definitely saw
09:19 - 09:23
him as kind of like a cactus I guess
09:21 - 09:24
retexturing is going to keep the shape
09:23 - 09:26
which means that you can transform it
09:24 - 09:29
into anything you can think of tip
09:26 - 09:31
number 17 maybe simple is better I know
09:29 - 09:33
I just told you to think outside the box
09:31 - 09:35
but there might be an advantage of doing
09:33 - 09:37
the opposite if you run a retexture with
09:35 - 09:39
the exact same prompt you might develop
09:37 - 09:41
some better images now this is really a
09:39 - 09:43
case by casee basis but it can come in
09:41 - 09:44
handy if your original generation didn't
09:43 - 09:46
work out the way you thought it would
09:44 - 09:48
take it into retexture and run it with
09:46 - 09:50
the exact same prompt here's a cinematic
09:48 - 09:52
rendition of Optimus Prime wearing
09:50 - 09:54
medieval armor the background is a beach
09:52 - 09:56
at Sunset and I think this picture is
09:54 - 09:58
decent I guess but when I ran it through
09:56 - 10:00
retexture with that prompt it came out
09:58 - 10:02
with these now there not all good but I
10:00 - 10:04
like that one a lot do I like it better
10:02 - 10:06
than the original I don't know but again
10:04 - 10:08
this is something to look out for tip
10:06 - 10:10
number 18 before and after special
10:08 - 10:13
thanks to the off-site agency I found
10:10 - 10:14
this prompt over on the explore page the
10:13 - 10:17
basis of the prompt is describing a
10:14 - 10:19
person's hair transformation and as long
10:17 - 10:21
as we focus on the hair mid Journey does
10:19 - 10:23
a surprisingly good job at keeping a
10:21 - 10:24
consistent face it also works pretty
10:23 - 10:26
well with a character reference but make
10:24 - 10:28
sure you lower that character weight so
10:26 - 10:31
this example is something like a hair
10:28 - 10:33
tint before after photo left is blonde
10:31 - 10:36
right is fully colored neon blue the
10:33 - 10:38
woman is 30 years old left side shows
10:36 - 10:40
dry frizzy hair and right show shiny
10:38 - 10:42
freshly styled hair straight out of the
10:40 - 10:44
hair salon white background natural
10:42 - 10:46
lighting and realistic professional
10:44 - 10:48
photography all help as well like look
10:46 - 10:50
how cool that is I think this is a fun
10:48 - 10:52
way to create the illusion of an actual
10:50 - 10:54
transformation for your character like
10:52 - 10:55
isn't that unreal well I hope you
10:54 - 10:57
enjoyed those 18 tips and if you want
10:55 - 10:59
some more you should check out this
10:57 - 11:04
video now I hope you're doing well take
10:59 - 11:04
care and I'll see you next time peace
