[@ckerr1975]

Well done! This is one the best and most detailed explanations of a "how-to" in Midjourney I have ever seen, and I have watched hours of content.

[@Cellfan]

I clicked on the video kind of expecting that it would be just another random image show off with some standard advise, but boy was I wrong! Very in depth video about what is possible and how details matter! Its easy to produce great looking images in midjourney, but being able to CONTROL the output, rather then letting the output control you is what a real AI-artist does. Thanks, I will surely get back to this video often! :) The only small thing you can criticize about the video might be, that it is usefull no matter what midjourney version you use and does not really get into specifics for mj v5.1 or differences to v5. On the other hand, that would not be possible one day after release in such detail. Great job, would love to see more :)

[@yacinelaghmari]

Pretty much what Cellfan said over here!

[@risingtide_official]

Using the word "creativity" is hysterical when talking about AI generated dopamine hits which is all this is.

[@robertmcleod6308]

I enjoyed your video so much! I'm at a loss for words about how profoundly this has affected me. The possibilities are endless! Thank you!!

[@mosijahi3096]

How has it effected you?

[@robertmcleod6308]

@@mosijahi3096 The impact of Midjourney on my life has been far-reaching, particularly in the way it merges the creative and technological aspects. I've always had an active imagination and loved to think up characters and stories. Midjourney has given me the ability to make these imagined worlds a reality. For instance, I'm currently writing a book, and I've been able to bring my characters to life within Midjourney. This is a game-changer, as it allows me to visualize and interact with my creations, which in turn informs and enriches my writing. It's more challenging than I anticipated, character creation is more complicated than I realized. I'm even considering collaboration to expand on this aspect. The inclusion of elements from Cyberjungle has further expanded the possibilities, I really like the work he's done. Those characters and the environments he created are so realistic. Beyond personal use, I can see how transformative this technology could be on a larger scale. In industries like film and advertising, the ability to create realistic, interactive virtual environments and characters could revolutionize the way we tell stories and market products. It could make the creation process more efficient and immersive, offering audiences experiences like never before. The profound impact is not just about the creation of new realities, but also how it changes our perspective. It empowers us to dream bigger, to push the limits of our imagination, and to truly explore the vastness of our creative potential. This is why I believe that Midjourney is more than just a program - it's a portal to new dimensions of creativity and innovation.

You talk at one point of a video about movie directors styles, for example... - Is it normal that I have a hard time prompting satisfying images of famous people ? I'm not convinced at all by that aspect of MJ... - Do you believe that it's possible to upscale satisfyingly with photoshop? Thanks!

[@daviddoherty9410]

Two quick questions. The first, when you refer to chatGPT, are you simply referring to the prompt in Discord, or are you using it externally as a plugin? Second, how are you prompting for lens type - ''captured on 24mm lens'', would something like this work? Thanks

[@cyberjungle]

1- I’m referring to prompt in Discord, not using any plugin. 2- That would workout. You can also simply write “24mm lens” and Midjourney would still understand it.

[@kittykitten05]

This is very helpful. Thank you so much

[@iqbalfajry]

Very impressive. This video is what I've been waiting for, all the knowledge you give is very useful. but may I ask something, how to make my old school photos clearer. for example i have digital photo of man 1900s how can i change to looks more realistic by shooting with a Nikon camera? thankss

[@cyberjungle]

You can take a look at Topaz Gigapixel AI for this job.

[@raphaeltimelapse]

Hi, I think your video is amazing and you go the right speed. I am a photographer and I wonder if you know how I could modify portraits of people. I wonder if it's possible and if you have a video about it please

[@cyberjungle]

Hey you should check New Photoshop (Beta). It has amazing AI features which will help you modify your portrait shots. I will make a video about it.

[@raphaeltimelapse]

​@@cyberjungle Thank you I will check but I don't use Photoshop. I am a more timelapse guy., not a pro yet.. but I am thinking of some nice art to do with portrait. Do you think of any free option? Maybe with some good prompt in MidJourney?

[@erics7004]

You can also use the name of painters to affect the photo, like Edward Hopper for 1930s clothing and scenes for example.

[@adinathorrr3597]

Question: How can I create a background for a picture of a model in my product (clothing)? Each time, Midjourney modifies the model and the clothing on her. Is there any possibility of generating only the background? If so, could you please help me with how to do it?

[@martinpaul5232]

getting high angle portrait shots is a real hit or miss. also when I define f-stop of f/8 on a 16mm lens, the background is not sharp. any tips?

[@cyberjungle]

Hi try using words with underscore. For example: high_angle_shot Then MJ gives high ranking to whole structure 👍🏼

[@t1000se]

My friend, could you be able to put together a document that shows your prompt and the images you generated next to them. This will make it clearer for us to see what kind of prompts generated what kind of images. It's a little confusing trying to find the prompts in the video.

For all the designers out there, midjourney is just another tool to help you with layouts. It doesn’t solve all your design hurdles. However, it does change your approach. 2025 or 2026 could be different story ;)

[@nlsmarketing]

are you the creator of Midjouney?

[@DynastyUK]

can you import an image but make it maintain the exact image but perhaps the colourgrading is like the matrix. and retouching is like a magazine? so basically remove the editing process? or will the image vary?

[@farrahcarbonell]

I have the same question.

[@StyleViewStudio]

Excellent video instructions for professionals and beginners alike! Beautifully and clearly worded, elegantly organized - FANTASTIC QUALITY VIDEO! Probably one of the very best I have seen so far. !!! It makes me think - that AI forces people to learn...yes LEARN. learn about Art styles, Artists, Photographic Art, Film Art and Directors ...to name just a few. That is one way to educate people...WHAT A GREAT GIFT TO HUMANITY!!! I have one IMPORTANT comment to make - please do not emphasize the use of FASHION BRANDS - simply because these are the most [powerful companies who CAN and who WILL start going to US courts and restrict the use of their brand logos and non-existent clothing. As the harbinger of this new wonderful technology - you and I and everyone MUST STRIVE to avoid controversy to the society in general does not begin to start stifling its progress. THERE ARE ALREADY a few ingnorant US politicians, who are from a previous generation, do not know AI and area already planning "LEGISLATURE:" Like a fragile child - we need to attempt to protect it . This is one way. I am speaking as someone, who was , and still is in Fashion Design for a very long time. Give it a thought. I understand that these are just "keywords" - but AI being so powerful - can bring sufficient trouble with these new images. We need to acknowledge that we have Copyright Laws in every country - and these are not going anywhere.

It would be an afro if I had shorter hair, but I have dreadlocks. It's very hard to for me to find a way to describe persons such as myself who are African American, but have lighter skin since many A.I. art generators depict all AA people with mid-brown or darken skin tones.
