Midjourney Portraits - My End-to-End Walkthrough

Dive into Midjourney Portraits with me, and explore my end-to-end walkthrough! In this video I go through the entire process of creating a portrait photo in Midjourney. I’ll cover the prompts, techniques, and steps needed to finish your portrait in Photoshop.
Whether you're a beginner or professional photographer looking to try out some new portrait photography tricks, come along for the journey! Midjourney offers an intuitive platform for building creative and compelling imagery. Plus, it's fun and easy to use.
First things first: decide what kind of portrait you want to create. With Midjourney’s selection of unique prompts, you can start off with an abundance of ideas. From surreal concepts to intimate moments - there’s something for everyone! After choosing your prompt, it’s time to get hands-on with shooting and editing photos.
Next up is your Photoshop skills! Learn how I use Adobe Photoshop tools like layer masks, dodge & burn tools, color toning filters and more to polish my images. Follow along as I take a basic image composition from rough sketch to finished product using advanced tricks found in most major digital art programs out there today.
Midjourney Portraits - My End-to-End Walkthrough is a great resource for photographers who are just getting started or who have been honing their craft for years. Join me as we explore all aspects of portrait photography; from prompts to post production!

Since last year you can quadruple the pixels using AI inside Photoshop... so you do not need an external service to do that. To use Super Resolution in Photoshop, just right-click on a photo and select “Enhance…” from the context menu. It will then spit out an enhanced Digital Negative (DNG) file that can be edited like any other image.

[@aijohnart]

Thank you for the info! Photoshop has so many features that it's hard to keep up with. :) I'm very interested in seeing how the two methods compare.

[@MaxWeir]

How to do this exactly? Right clicking an image with the "Move" tool selected does nothing, or do you mean Adobe Lightroom?

[@yezzum]

@@MaxWeir They're referring to Lightroom.

[@webinarDK]

@@MaxWeir You need to set Photoshop to open your image in Raw mode, then you get access to use Enhance, down bottom in menu listing when right click the picture.

Some nice renders and tips. I also like to include a nice lens: "Meike 50mm T2.1 Super 35 Cine Prime" and "shallow depth of field" is another nice addition.

[@aijohnart]

Thank you for the suggestions. I'm looking forward to trying them out.

[@homemarketlimited]

It was super useful. Thank you.

¡Excelente video! Muy didáctico. IA y fotografía son dos temas que me gustan, así que disfruto mucho con sus vídeos. Felicidades y gracias por su trabajo.

[@aijohnart]

Muchas Gracias.

Hi John, just starting to learn AI and interested in using it to create images using photos of family members. Do u have a tutorial on uploading photos to use as the base of the new images? Thx Dean

[@verokitkat7142]

thanks!

[@josemaldonado5980]

Is it possible to supply your own source images and let Midjourney "Process" the umage?

[@willjackson1107]

Any tips on achieving a likeness in mid journey from a base reference?

[@aijohnart]

Check out my latest video kzbin.info/www/bejne/hX3OkIqro7CHoas it might be a good place to start

[@Isaypreach]

How does one get access to midjourney?

[@aijohnart]

You need to create an account at Midjourney.com and then you will need to join their discord channel in order to start making ai art.

[@waysearcher]

Hello. Can you help me pls? in kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpLSYXmcqs13o6s you said that we can put in the prompt "----" for avoid artifact on the face. I tried put this argument, but MidJourney gave error: "Unrecognized argument(s): --"

[@aijohnart]

I did word that very poorly. The proper prompt is "--no blemishes". That's 2 dashes and no quote marks. If you type this in a text editing program like Word and then cut and paste into Midjourney, you need to be careful as some text editing programs will automatically change the dash dash into a single long dash. Midjourney doesn't know how to handle long dashes. In any case, I hope this helps.

[@ultimategolfarchives4746]

Does capital letters are important? They seem to be thrown at certain spot only

[@aijohnart]

Capital or lower case doesn't matter. Midjourney changes everything to lower case automatically when you submit the prompts.

My elephant photo usually comes with 4 trunks, 3 tusks and a fifth leg that comes out of its back. But, the image is too realistic and fantastic to discard. In my opinion a photoshop expert can only produce the best out of this AI art

[@Size10Soles]

I am curious why the ai does not do well when you type in African American women

[@aijohnart]

To get an African American woman, I've always had to use "black woman". Mid journey has interesting issues with race. For example, I have never been able to get two people of different races to show up in one image.

[@screenwatcher6224]

It does. I use black woman and it’s amazing!

[@Size10Soles]

@@screenwatcher6224 can I ask you how to contact you? What prompts? Just curious maybe its me lol

[@MaxWeir]

I'd recommend using Chainer to upscale your images, its a neat app that can do a whole lot more. I use this for upscaling all my images for posting online. This is a simple guide to using it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX22YYqLg8lqpLM
