Midjourney: Blend Command Tutorial

[@mengtinglei]

Hi John, nice video! The "belt" prompt is a good idea, thanks for the inspiration.👏

[@SebtorDude]

Regardless of any extra prompt behind the URL, "blend" seems to be much better at preserving the original facial features than "imagine".

I dident expect an 60 year old to teach me AI, but i wont complain!

[@aijohnart]

Haha. I appreciate the compliment.

[@CallMeThyme]

Haha yes :)

[@DianeRoney]

We seasoned people can teach you a thing or to.

[@konstantinrebrov675]

@@aijohnart When I see an old person teaching, I immediately think, "that's the expert with the experience".

[@tfkdandsvkc]

Even though he is old he could be an i.t or tech expert who has been in this field for a lifetime this disgusting ageist comments should end look at his credibility not his age

[@Mooooty]

What a wonderful, thoughtful and articulated tutorial. Thank you for sharing John. ( /imagine prompt subscribed! )

[@IKP1000]

Thank you! I just spend 20 mins trying to add text prompts to my images uploaded in /blend setting and couldn't understand why the text prompts were not working. Now I know Blend doesn't do that! I should have watched you first...;-) OK, now I'll do that in /imagine mode.

I just started to realize the potential of AI, I already feel behind with all these new tools. Would love to see another video in the future about BlueWillow that is completely free

[@GolpokothokRaktim]

@CryptobdSchool Blue Willow is one of the best free AI image generator that I have used so far. It's really good

[@VitoLenroura]

Hello, thank you very much! this is exactly the tutorial i was looking for (and i'm still looking hhh) however can we further refine the face of the generated image which should still look like the main photo... please give me the link if you have already made such a tutorial. Thanks and bravo once again!

[@neddreadmaynard]

Just found your channel and your tutorial is much better than others ive seen. But I am still getting poor results where the faces are generic (from the training model) and it's not getting the real "me", I have a big nose and I always get the same big nosed guy most of the time. We look related but its missed a recognisable me. Would appreciate any help from commenters about this. cheers!

[@AmjadMiandad]

awesome, thanks for the tutorial and all your efforts, what I got so far from all these prompts and I tried it brings resemblance after blending but not the exact person, since we use random photo we cannot detect the identification features but if we use our own photos or someone we know actually we will find that the output image got most of the features and resemblance but its not the same person we know.

[@pattyaap7345]

amazing tutorial!! thank you so much! I love how clear and slowly you show your results because it is easy to follow.

[@nedogled]

Excellent tutorial, thanks!

[@ഉomingo]

Really a lovely tutorial! Just a small hint from my side: If you directly rightclick the Images, you won't have to remove the width/height parameters manually. As it simply wont pick these up. Discord links only include these, if you enlargen an image and fetch the link

[@Michael_Gyms]

John god bless you!

[@patrickvonjanicke658]

Great video. By the way I tried the “with leather belt” idea and got leather shoulder straps instead of an upper body shot, lol. keep up the good work.

[@manuelneiss2100]

Thank you very much for your content!

[@Mr-Not-Applicable]

Great tutorial! Is blend and mix the same? Subscribed!

[@aijohnart]

Thank you. They are the same command, though the mix command allows you to add other prompts.

[@psychologicalattack643]

thank youuuuuu so much siir its very working and helpful . bigup from morroco u are the best . like and coment and sub

[@CallMeThyme]

Thank you so much!

[@manuelcordova828]

Thanks for the video 👍

[@blueeye3044]

Thanks for the video. Is there any way to get the actual girl in the photo in the blend rather than a girl that just looks similar?

[@guitartommi]

A very interesting video. Unfortunately, the address for the image enlargement you recommended is not in the info window.

[@aijohnart]

Apologies. Here is the URL: imgupscaler.com/

[@brunojefferson4944]

awesome tutorial, could you provide the prompt in the video description?

[@aijohnart]

These are the prompts that I used, minus the source images since those need to be uploaded to discord fist. intricate elven armor, intricate belt, long straight black hair, fantasy, dnd, dungeons and dragons::4 high elf from d&d, pointy ears, photography::5 blemishes, hat::-3

[@juliastoyka]

Thank you very much!!!

[@EmceePinks]

10 minutes in, Can you add weights to image URLs, instead of using the image command? Or is that different than blending?

[@annafreezze2373]

thank you!!!

[@eliu20050101]

could you use the girl image with a sunglass image to how it would blend ?

[@ryanhowell4492]

Cool Tools, I hope that helps

[@willjackson1107]

Is there a secret to achieving a likeness from reference photo . For example the brides portrait in an artist style looking like the bride.

[@aijohnart]

There is a pretty cool (but mildly complex) way to do this in stable diffusion. Check out this video (not mine) for details. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXTGiaWji9BkfJI

[@TahirChaudhryartist]

Is it possible to keep the face of the original character when blending?

[@RikuKiforForsstrom]

I wanna blend face with a body without changing the face. Trying to create a character for a project. I created a perfect face of character and body with clothing. I am making a 1940s or 1950s mean religious boarding school principal,. MJ created perfect face after blending two photos but made the character a nun. I wanna blend that face to another image with clothing and hair I liked. Is it possible? Or do you need Photoshop or another editing software to do it?

[@IasonRagnarBellerophon]

Jackson Pollack, not Jason!

[@aijohnart]

Yep. My brain finally caught up with me about 2 minutes after I posted the video.

[@EmceePinks]

I can't afford MJ lately but I miss it. Blending is fun!

[@hatac]

What happens if you go 3 images with the elf repeated? What happens if you mix the first result with the elf again and iterate?

[@SebtorDude]

Exactly my line of thinking. I will try both. At least blend seems to be much better at preserving faces.

[@MFFranchise]

Hello AI John. I have a question. I have been trying to use weights to get Midjourney to return images that are very close to identical to the photo that i reference but haven't been successful. Do you have any recommendations or examples where i can reference a photo add other ingredients but I want the response to have as close as possible return to the photo i referenced. Any an all help would be great

[@aijohnart]

Doing that well in Midjourney is a long and painful process. And even then you get decent results, but not perfect in my opinion. You might want to think about using Stable Diffusion. There are ways to get amazing results in that application. I am planning a video on this topic, but in the meantime, I suggest that you check out @OlivioSarikas and in particular, this video of his: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b363YqFvbK6Hl6c

[@MFFranchise]

@@aijohnart Thanks for your prompt reply 👍

[@rblad739]

Dude! It’s JACKSON Pollock

[@vaderfan2055]

Not sure if you have already done a video on this but I am trying to do avatars with family photos but I can not get any of my pics to look even close to the person, can you help me?

[@aijohnart]

Hi, I haven't done a video on this myself, but there are plenty of good references out there already. I would suggest taking a look here as a good start. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHekmn1-oZmLrck

[@dr.robmedina]

Hello, I'm from Brazil, my English is bad, do you have any prompts that transform someone's photo into a cartoon or caricature, or cute drawing (cute), if you find something that is very faithful to the photo, bring it to your channel, thank you.

[@brunojefferson4944]

é só colocar "cartoon 4k" que deve funcionar

[@ChurroTheViscous]

Jackson, not Jason

[@adrianprazen23]

Who the hell is Jason Pollock? Do you mean Jackson Pollock?

[@vadvad5684]

Thanks a lot!
