mind blown for the --tile thing - I run a pattern business so this is AMAZING for me to get variety - thank you for all you do!

[@FutureTechPilot]

Woah, very cool. Bet that will help a lot! Cheers :)

[@Sacrificial]

Fantastic tips mate, they'll definitely come in handy! Thanks for sharing these.

[@FutureTechPilot]

Cheers pal! 🤝

You missed the best tip for inpainting: the “patchwork” technique to select a crisscross of some thin regions beyond your desired selection. The regions are too thin for the algorithm to change, but the extra sampled pixels will really help your inpaint match the surrounding style. Try this tip with the “eyes” or “facial expression” examples you showed. I learned this on the Discord community.

[@FutureTechPilot]

That's fascinating! I'll have to try it out. Thanks for sharing

[@jorge0018]

hey man ! can you elaborate a little more ?! I´m interested on this but cound not understood the criss cross part. how youd do it tho. thanks !

[@jasonp9508]

@@jorge0018 Sure! Select the region you want replaced, and also use the rectangle tool to select some additional regions that extend out into the rest of the image. I usually make them long and thin, some horizontal and some vertical, crossing each other like T shapes or tic-tac-toe. These regions are too narrow for MJ to invent new pixels for them, but including them in the selection seems to help the result match better in style/aesthetics with the original image. Looks less like a “photoshopped” pasted result. It doesn’t make a huge difference every time, and I think the inpainting has improved since it was first released so you might not need this trick as often, but it does still seem to help in my experience.

[@r.g1654]

I don't understand either 🙄 can you elaborate please? Thanks!

[@TerrorEnLaOscuridad]

Wow, these are actually really useful tips! Thanks!

[@LASartor]

Your Channel has made a huge difference in my very neophyte use of MJ. THANK YOU. When you add 1960’s cottagecore, unsplash, where I find what that means? Are these basic prompts? If so where can I find a list? Thanks again.

[@FutureTechPilot]

Those are just some fun words I like to try. 1960s - for some older looking photos cottagecore - for a wholesome cottage vibe unsplash - it's a stock photography website, but it brings a consistent cinematic look to the pictures hope that helps!

[@LASartor]

thank you. I get 1960 and unsplash, thanks for that, but did you come up with cottagecore, or is that a basic prompt word? Thanks again.

[@FutureTechPilot]

@@LASartor I found it while looking for aesthetics online!

[@pedxing]

great video. I REALLY wish we had better selection tools with inpainting. something even like a soft round brush (with configurable edge opacity) would be an INCREDIBLE addition for anyone used to a more traditional digital workflow. the tile trick is pretty fantastic and a great way to add multiple tiles to an infinite pattern. Personally if I was wanting to make more colorful eye variations I wouldn't be afraid of using MJ to blow out the colors to a fantastic level then bringing them both into photoshop and painting the new color of eye in place with a blending mode/opacity change to find the right level of "realism". I know most people are wanting to create unedited images straight from MJ but sometimes you just need to look for alternate toolsets to drill in the details. =)

[@JefHarrisnation]

Would be very helpful also if there was a zoom in option.

[@FutureTechPilot]

hahah yeah, photoshop is basically King for any sort of adjustments! But like you said, having some of those Photoshop tools inside of Midjourney would be really cool and useful

[@Jumpyfoot]

I would be pleased to have an invert selection tool for those times when you want to highlight everything except for instance the face, or whatever it is you're trying to do.

[@mtntopviking]

Yes! Very true!@@JefHarrisnation

[@heredownunder]

Great tips. How could you try to turn a black & white image into a colour image?

[@FutureTechPilot]

Unfortunately Midjourney can't really do that right now - but something like Photoshop definitely can!

[@danielseis6478]

great video, one question: is there a way to do the inpainting from images in our gallery?

[@FutureTechPilot]

this video should help you out - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXTPaqCXadKDoLM

[@robertoromani2376]

With a wide smile it's probably better to add eyes in the modified area as well since they narrow a bit. My impression, at least.

[@FutureTechPilot]

that's a good point!

[@boheem3451]

I've never selected outside the frame in the small area selection Vary(region) hack.

[@FutureTechPilot]

Yeeee it's the perfect hack for sure

[@LesaneJones1]

great video1 but Im missing my prompt bar when I selected an area. How can I fix it ?

[@FutureTechPilot]

I should have mentioned this more clearly in the video. You need to have 'remix' turned on. You can find it in the /settings or type /remix into the prompt box and hit enter to toggle it on and off

[@MrSzwierzak]

I didn't get notification 😮

[@FutureTechPilot]

Dang!

[@contrarian8870]

@07:34 In MJ, if a select "Vary by Region", I don't see the prompt like, like you have, only the lasso/square drawing tools and a "Submit" button. So I can't change the prompt for the modified area. MJ just reuses the original prompt. Did MJ change something?

[@FutureTechPilot]

you need to make sure 'remix' is turned on ... you can find it in /settings or type /remix into the prompt box and hit enter

[@contrarian8870]

@@FutureTechPilot OK, thanks

[@stefan1919]

ill try to do --style scenic but get this message!! Why? --version 5.2 is only compatible with the following values for --style: raw mix of style of Collage and Figurativ Art, silver, gioelli rubati, Roman temple summer::9912 in the style of ancient Rome and In the style of beauty::2000 --c 40 --no symmetry --style scenic

[@FutureTechPilot]

you need to have --niji before --style scenic

[@stefan1919]

Does not work either..... --niji 5` is only compatible with the following values for `--style`: `expressive`, `cute`, `scenic`, `original`

[@FutureTechPilot]

@@stefan1919 ... I'm confused. You want style scenic? Like you just said, '--niji 5 --style scenic' are what's compatible

[@PADATWO]

I dont get whats the difference between the tips #2 and a strong variation withe the same prompt

[@FutureTechPilot]

Yeah I guess they would be similar, but 'inpainting' uses a slightly different algorithm ... so even though it might be hard to tell the difference, the results will come from different places

[@EnchantedHuesPress]

Hi everyone. Need some help. My vary region opens then pops closed again. Anyone else having that issue?? or how to fix it?

[@FutureTechPilot]

Never heard of that happening! Maybe just close and re-open Discord?

[@Agingisachoice]

is there a way to feed it pictures of shoes and inpaint it onto a male model feet?

[@FutureTechPilot]

No, not in the way you're thinking. That would be way easier to do in photoshop

[@JakeLeenerts]

What does “unsplash” do?

[@FutureTechPilot]

adds the cinematic 'vibe' to the photos. Try a prompt with and without it. I think it will be noticable

[@dizzyrocket2000]

I’m so confused with the tile thing. What does inpainting do that -tile doesn’t accomplish on it’s own?

[@tbone773tbone773]

I think it just added a more complicated variant inside the original generation. Seems kind of like a niche tip though.

[@FutureTechPilot]

it just gives you a bigger 'tile' - like normally, the tile is just 1/4 the size of a grid. When you inpaint using --tile, you get a tile that's the size of a full grid ... super niche for sure! But still a cool effect
