1. Course Intro: Hi folks, Welcome to this
course on using mid journey. Made journey is an AI
based artist generator. It's super, super
cool, very new. It's comparative to dolly or Darley to if you know
anything about that. It's all based on discord, so you'll need a discord. Usernames have set
yourself up in discord. You can do a free
trial or you can also pay a small monthly fee. Absolutely. Up to start off with the free
trial to see how you go. This course will
talk you through all the different ways in
different options we have. And it will also highlight in signposts some other further
resources that you can look at after the course will be generating some generative
art in this course. And there'll be a project at the end where you can all
share what you've all created and have a check in the class projects to see what other people
have done as well. So I'm super excited
about this course. It's such a fascinating
and interesting area. And I'm really
excited to see what you guys do with the
information in this course. So jump on into the first
lesson and let's get going.
2. Lesson One - What is Midjourney: Hi folks. So in this very
short introductory lesson, what we're gonna do is
we're going to look at what exactly is made journey, how does it work and
where does it come from? So first of all, you've got mid-July dot
com is the website, okay. It's an artificial
neural network, artificial, artificial
intelligence which generates art for you. So let's have a look at that. Twitter. They're called themselves
a new research lab exploring new
mediums of thought, expanding and imaginative
powers of the human species. And they've got a discord. Discord is what you'll be using. I've got a few articles
for you which I'll post links to a text file. So you'll have links to these. You've got some examples
here where it explains how amid journey has sharpened
in the style of AI art. And like they say
here, it's an art making tool which uses AI or artificial intelligence to generate two
pieces of artwork, and they're based
upon text prompts. So for example, somebody
has given the text prompt, a fiery dragon as an architectural sketch
and mid journey. There we go, As has outputted these pieces of artwork just based upon
that piece of text. That's what mid journey is. It's very similar and rivals, as, as it says in here, rivals mid, something
called Dolly, and now there's something
called Darley to. So it's basically
given a text prompt and it generates
art out of that. So that is what mid journey is. So here's the website. If we do a quick about, they've got some
stuff here as well. So an independent research lab. And yes, so like I said, AIR. Now you can sign in. I'm going to sign
in with Discord. Now I've already at the
moment gotta, gotta profile. So if I sign in, you will see that this
is what the website, once you have an account, will look like just
as it comes in here. And once you generate art, this is where all
your art or go. Okay, and I'll go
through this more later. What I do want to disclose
really soon on is there is a free version and a, if we come back to
their tweets by here, It's now an open beta before
you've had to apply and kind of cue for a license. But now, as of the 13th of July, they're saying we're officially
move into open beta. Join now, please read our
directions carefully. So when you joined the discord, what it'll say in discord, if I just quickly open
it, it will give you, if you've used Discord before, it'll give you your rules and announcements and
Getting Started. It'll give you info
in here, okay? And this is what I'm going
to go through a bit today. So here is your when you join the Discord,
that's where we'll be. Now, I actually pay for this. If we come to manage
subscription, you can do it for free. The last a very limited time, but if you are enjoying it, I'd recommend going
for membership. I've got the
standard membership. The differences are ten
US dollars per month for your you'll have a
bit of a free trial. But if you want more, you've got ten US
dollars a month, limited use of images, and you only generate
around 200 images a month. General commercial terms,
I'll touch upon that. And an increment in Berlin. But you can read all this. Obviously, I've gone
to the $30 a month because that gives me
unlimited personal use. And so basically, I can generate as many
difference between these two, around 200 images per month, but I can do as much as I want. And general commercial terms, this is a whole area within AI. Do you have copyright ownership? Now the general
consensus is yet, I would recommend this isn't
what this course is about. I want you to do your
own reading into that. Yeah, yes is the answer. But they always start at and
if you come down to here, we're going to assess general. Whereas a commercial
use images in any way. Special case, if you're using
the images and employee, you've just got to have
the corporate plan. So those yes, you can. You are pretty free to use the images in
any way you want. So just to kind of have
a read through that, this is the plan I've gone for. I found it was most useful and you can cancel a
plant at anytime. So that is a quick overview of what mid journey is and
what it can offer you. Like I said, just
have a quick Google of mid, mid journey. I've just typed in
what is my journey? And these are probably some of the artworks
generated with it. So what I'm gonna do now
is I'm going to move into the next session
where we're going to have a look at a bunch of different work that's being
created with mid journey. And then we'll move into actually creating some pieces
of art with my journey. So just evening and I'll
see you in the next video.
3. Lesson Two - Looking at work that's been created with Midjourney: So let's have a look at some work that's been
created with mud journey. Now this is the community
feed and this is basically pieces of work
people have generated. And if I like this one, if I hang over or hover over, it says the prompt that they use incredible futuristic summer
street where Let's click it. They also added all
these vibrant colors. Pink, orange is blue, 3D
character design 2050. All of these were the
prompts that they gave, OK? So this was the initial one. And you could also
give extra notice that they've given
some artists here, Greg would TO ski, James gurney error calcium. I'll come on to
that later when I do a session on prompt tips. But all of these texts essentially generated deaths,
which is pretty cool. So you've got some sort
of a character-based one. Some people like to go for
objects. I loved this. A vial of a post transgender potion
bottle is shimmering lemon. So they're being very
descriptive here. So that's pretty cool. I love that. You've got environments stuff. I prefer the environment
stuff really. Then character stuff
I find that faces, it's not, in my opinion, is not great at faces yet, although that is
very, very good. And that's the only
prompt they used for that one cute girl. Sometimes they're just
buying fakes as of a week. Especially there's our one. Doesn't really look great. So yeah, you've got
loads of stuff in here. I'd recommend having
to skim through. These phases are actually
looking pretty good. Also in the Discord. They've got stuff in
here so you can kind of go show and tell
where people are, kind of showing
what they've made. You've also got few tabs in here where it
shows environments. Environments is the one I like. So you've got loads
of stuff in here. So when you joined the discord, just have a skim through it
mean that is just beautiful. What I'm trying to get
at is I love having a look at other artist's
work to almost get inspired. So trust me, when I say there's mid journey is
incredibly powerful. Once you know a few tips
and tricks, I mean, look, look at these
environments. They are stunning. You can see that in a film. So yeah, that's just stuff
that's being created. I'll very quickly
show you some of my stuff that had been
created in recently. So if I go to my personal feed or home, yeah, there we go. I was looking at yesterday, a colorful time tunnel,
neon Cyberpunk epic. I loved, I loved this, not overly fast at the end. But I'm a fan of Doctor Who
and I kinda thought highest, kinda looks like a bit
of a TARDIS interior. I loved, I loved vector
watercolor stuff. So I went and did a vector
illustration of a landscape. I thought that was
really, really nice. I was kinda playing around. I'm a big fan of the
odd we'll franchise. So I started playing
around with, I put in odd world inspired
alien and stuff like that. I more watercolor stuff. Watercolor illustration
of a townhouse I love in these kind of stuff, very abstract and quite quirky. I looked at environment,
peaceful Chinese village. The, these are quite cool. Could do with a
little bit of work, a little bit and few
more prompts maybe. But that was nice. And a
peaceful Chinese flower meadow with cherry blossom trees. And I added all of
these ones here. So the term
photorealistic trended on art station that helps
give them more of an idea. But I'll go through
this property later. Yeah, bunch of stuff in here. This hyper-realistic lot
in Zombie was quite cool. But yeah, so that's basically
a quick overview of just some of the things
that you can go ahead and create with mud journey. So what I'll do now,
the next session will start to look at creating a piece of art with mud journey by
using some prompts. So, yeah, brilliant. I look forward to seeing
you in the next lesson.
4. Lesson Three - Creative pieces of Art with Midjourney (prompts): Right then, now
once you sign up to the free trial or paid
version of mid journey, you'll be creating your
art within discord. So you need a discord users, a discord profile as well. Now, once you start it, what I recommend you guys to do is read the getting started, how to create images. It says go to one of
the newbie channels. If you're if you're
a trial, okay. It says everyone's a limited
trial around 25 query. So 25, I'm attempts at creating art and it'll
create for each time. And that gives you about
200 pieces of art. A full membership include
unlimited generations. And especially when you're new, I can do this a different
way, but when you're new, you're wanna go to one of
the new beat channels. Okay, so if I scroll down here, I'm gonna go to one
at the very end. So newbie 95. And what you can do is
you'll want to type in here. So start off slash, imagine, then just click here. And then you can
write your prompt. I'm going to say a cabin in the woods with read
like its name. I'm just thinking kind of
Stranger Things, but here, a cabin in the woods with
red lightning and fog. I'm going to put a comma
and put lookup here. Somebody's put cinematic,
calculate coagulant, cinematic, detailed,
photo realistic. So I'm going to
type this in here. Photo, photo realistic. What I'm gonna do, I'm
going to press Enter. What you'll notice is
it says J Parker one, which is my Discord. I've used this prompt and
now it's gonna give you a percentage and what's
going to happen over time, 12 per cent already, over time, this is gonna go up,
it's gonna generate, you can see somebody's
appears doing it. It's quite nice because
you can see what everyone else is doing as well. Just keep an eye on yours. It'll be highlighted and it's going to
generate some stuff. So what I'll do is I'll pause the video here and we'll come back and have a look at this
in about a minute or two. Okay, so mine is
finished generating. So what I can do is I can
click here and I can see, okay, so we've got this, this, this, and this. I'm really liking that one and I'm really
liking that one. But we're going to
leave it there for now. I've got the option to
do some things here, which I'm going to cover
in the next lesson. But that's how easy it
is to create yours. Now, you can go ahead and
download that, but also, if you go into the mid
journey website and login through your discord, what you'll notice
is personal feed, or if I just click home, maybe refresh it
will pop up here, is just taking a little bit. It takes two or three
minutes and it'll pop up into your into your profile. I'm sure if I refresh this a few times eventually
it'll pop up there, but it does take
a couple minutes. If you are a paid user, you can do it a bit. It's a bit of a
nightmare in here because everyone's
posts and stuff. But if you're paid member, what you can do is you
can do a direct message to the bottom where it was mine. Where's it gone? So
what I can do is just right-click this mid
journey bought by here, go to profile, and then
click Send message, and it will open
a direct message. And this is, therefore, these are, these are all mine. So if you're paid member, you can just do it
in a direct message. She won't see everyone
else's popping up, but sometimes it's nice to see what other people have got. So I'm gonna do
another one in here. I'm just going to go
forward slash, imagine, just click that and
imagine a world, a war torn world in
2050. Cyber punk. I'm just going to give it that normally I'd give it
kind of more stuff. So you'll notice that it's
doing the exact same thing, but it's doing it instead of
within the discord channel. It's doing it within a little direct message
between me and the bot. So it doesn't kind of like have loads of other stuff going on. I'm very quickly going to go
back and refresh this to see if it's pop stars and
popped it in yet. It definitely Well,
I'll make sure that in the next video
lesson it is there. But as we'll see, we've
got stuff coming in now. And in the next session we will look through at
making variations, upscaling, light up scaling
what these things are. But what we'll do is
we'll just have a look at what we've got here
because I'm quite excited. It looks really, really cool. So on seventy-three
percent, you'll see it's quite quick. Eighty-two percent. But I'll pause it and
rejoin you in a second. Okay. So here we are. That was literally
three seconds. I'm loving some of these not quite enough detail
in some of them. And they're not quite
the right dimensions, they will square and
I'd prefer a rectangle, but I'll show you how to
do that in the next one. Okay, so I'm gonna
leave that lesson here. In the next session,
we're going to have a look at upscaling variations and lift up scaling and maybe a few other
things like dimensions. So, yeah, I look
forward to seeing you in the next lesson.
5. Lesson Four - Upscaling, Variations and Dimensions: Okay, So in this session, like I said, we're gonna
look at upscaling, making variations and making art which isn't directly square. Okay, So first of all,
having a look at this, I really like, I
really like this one. Okay, so let's say
this is number 1234. You've got the option
to upscale number one. So, or you've also got the option to
variation number one. So if I click
variation number one, what it's gonna do
is it's going to look at image number one, and it's going to generate different variations
based upon that. So it will probably have a prominent figure
in the center. Like you can see
it's doing there. And it's gonna do a few
different variations. Maybe change some colors, changed the layout slightly, stuff like that, and
maybe change the size and scale of the buildings
and stuff like that. So you can see,
it's quite quick. It's done some variations
based upon that first one, I actually prefer this one. So I could do variations of
whatever I want in there. But you've also got upscale. I like this one a lot. So what I'm gonna
do is I'm going to upscale number three. Then it's going to think
like number three. I'm now going to scale that
up because it's quite small, but they're so that's now going
to take x amount of time. And one of the problems I find with upscaling,
it makes it bigger, but it quite often adds a little bit too much
detail and makes it look overly detailed and can be quite noisy and grainy and
just doesn't look great. So what we'll have
a look at is how we bring some of that back. So if we just let that go, I'll join you in a second
once it's finished. Okay. So we're done. And as you can see, overly detailed for me
if we compare this to, this is hard to see. We can see this
one's a lot smoother and this is a common thing. So what they've actually done is they've given us this thing by here called liked upscale redo. So we can make
further variations based upon this upscale version. We can upscale it to maximum. Or I think first I'm gonna
do a life to upscale redo. And what this is gonna
do is it's going to redo the upscaling, but it's going to lessen that detail, so it's
going to keep it. What this upscale
did is it made it a larger image in
terms of dimensions, and it also added detail. What this is gonna do
is it's going to take this larger version and just reprocess it but make
it a bit smoother. So once this is done, what I'll do is I'll show you the difference between the two. And sometimes I think
it looks better there, but not, not better there. There is an additional, I may do a little
bonus at the end of how to deal with that
actually in Photoshop. So we'll just wait for
this one to come in now. And I can already see just by
looking at the thumbnails, if there's on 90%, this is
already looking a lot nicer. So 91, let's just have a quick check to see if
anything is populated in here. Like I said in the last
lesson that it will. And of course it's
not doing it yet. Probably just a bit slow, but trust me does eventually. Okay. So we've got this one. So let's have a look at our 2D, the ones to details
that's not great. Narrative. A look at this one. That's nicer. So if you
focus on this liked by here. So this is the smoother version and that's like ultra detailed. Maybe have a look in here. So too detailed. And this one's smooth. I like this one a lot more. So yeah, those are
the differences. And then I can say, right, I can make more variations
based upon it or I can upscale it
to maximum size. So I'll probably
normally, if I'm happy, I'll just upscale to max
and then I've got it. So let's just click
upscale Tmax. Normally, I would
download it from in here. I'm still not population, so I'd click the three dots
and I'd say Save image. But you can also, for example, I'll
show you this one. The upscale max may take a little bit of time because
it's doing its final one. But what you can do is you can just go there, click
Open original, and then right-click
and save image as and then just save it to
your desktop or wherever. So that's the other way
if you don't want to wait for it to populate
inside of here. I'll wait for this
one just to go ahead and do its final upscale. And then I can download it
and show you the dimensions. And what we'll do after
that is I'll show you how to make landscape
stuff, not just square. So I'll pause this now and
I'll see you in a moment. Okay, and it looks
like we're done. So what I'm gonna
do is I'm going to save this as the
upscaled to maximum. So let's go ahead open original. And I'm going to ask nice. I'm going to save
image to my desktop, upscale max, and save that bear. I'm also going to go
ahead and save this one. This one had been
up-scaled but not maximum. So I'm going to
click Open original and then go up the scale. One. I'm not going to
bother going ahead and kind of opening this one where it's smaller
again because there's four, there just doesn't
take too long. So what I'll do is I'll
drag both of these across. Upscale one is, let's go and
properties that is 1024 by 1024 and upscale max
is 1536 by 1536. So again, not massive. But what I may do
is I may show you, I'll show you that actually, one thing I use, big jpeg, upload it to here
and upscale max. This is probably there's loads
of AI enlarges out there, but this is the one I used
for a few different reasons. So artwork four times and I'll keep the noise
reduction to none. Click Okay, if I click Start. Yeah, it's doing it anyway. So we'll do it four times. So it'd be like for k then, or actually six K because four times 1500
will be 6 thousand. So there's a bulk bunch of
different ones out here. I don't like paying. And this is a free one and
only does two at a time. But this is, I've
compared the quality from a bunch of them and
this is decent quality. If you pay, you're
gonna get a bit better, but this is free, this
is really, really good. So I'll maybe show
you that in a minute. But the other thing
I wanted to look at is resolution or ratio. Okay, so what I'm gonna do is I'm going to do
another prompt. I imagine. In fact, I'm going to copy
this prompt from before. Okay? So I'm gonna go to
imagine click prompt, type this in, but also
watch what I do now. I'm going to hit
Space and then do two semi-colons just
to separate it space. So space and to semi-colons. What I'm also going to do then
is I'm going to put dash, dash, and then w for width. And I'm going to say I
want the width to be 1920. I'm going to hit space,
dash, dash height. I want the height to be 1024. This is what I've
found to work best. So all I've done is
I've said semi-colons, semi-colons there with space
each side to separate it, to say it's another command. I'm going to put two
dashes and say width. I want that to be 1920, then two dashes and height, I want that to be 1024. So now if I do this, hit Enter. You'll notice when it
starts generating, it will have the 16
by nine aspect ratio. So see like that. Now, I learned this through
trial and error are very, very good resource is if you
go into mid journey online, but here, come down
to help an FAQ. You've got this
QuickStart guide. So you've got leaked through this creating
the first image. If I were to say upscale the image, it's
got stuff in there. But if I were to say landscape, tried to scrub and style, can't remember where I found it, but it's in here somewhere. Parameters like showcases sizes. If you put dash, dash W, width of the image works
better as a multiple of 64. So yeah, you want to keep
those numbers as multiples of 64 and the same for the height. Okay, so that's that's
where I found that. And it was again, through
trial and error and having to have to
figure stuff out, I would absolutely recommend having a read
through this, okay. For example, you've got prompt modify a secret, put dash, dash, no, if you don't want any plants in there or if I didn't want
to, What have I gotten? You know, people, for example, I could say no
people on no robots. I could put that in
there. There we go. Our wide one's done it. So we've got these now, and that's pretty cool. I'd probably go ahead and do some variations
of number three. And again, that's where variations and all these
additional prompts coming well. But there's loads
more that you can do. If you read through this,
you've got all these modifiers. So this, for example,
detail modifiers stops. You'll see it as a percentage
thing as we go through. And maybe think, I'll
buy 60%, it looks good. So you could run
it again and use these to say stop at x percent
or stop a 50% or whatever. I haven't read
through this because it's really, really good. So what I'm gonna do is I'm
going to end this session. There. May just have a
quick look at these. They're so cool. I really like that one. So I'm going to upscale number for very quick check, has it? This one over here.
So I'll download this upscale and now has taken 1500 by 1500 pixels too. Let's thing less and properties. It's now 6,144, so
it's now massive. And if we look at the quality, it's still good quality
in our six K resolution. So let's go back very
quickly just to see if it's populated into my profile. I'm kind of hoping
it has by now. No, it hasn't caused it and
it's taken a while today, but does believe you
me it goes in here. So yeah, I'm going to
leave this message, this, this lesson here. That's really cool. And leave this message
here, this lesson here. And I'll do a new
one in a moment. And it'll be on prompt tips
and how to make your prompt. And then we're going to finish
with a class challenge. So cheers for tuning in. I hope this was
useful and I'll see you in the next lesson.
6. Lesson Five - Prompt Tips: Okay, So just a
quick one, folks, a few tips on prompts. This is stuff that I've
researched and found out. What I want to start
with is these two, okay? So first thing you can try is try and be really
short with your prompts. You'll notice the ones that
I've done earlier today. A war-torn world in 2050. Cyber punk, that's quite short and it gave
me loads of stuff. I mean, it's short in comparison to come up here to few days ago. It's short in
comparison to this. Okay. It's shorting about him. But then you've also got
the flip side of try being short with it and try and be over precise and give
it loads of stuff. See the difference, try
both that. That's key. What I've found to be useful
is adding a time of day. I liked my cinematic
stuff and as somebody who teaches film
and stuff like that, I know that cinematic
stuff is shot in the morning or evening
for that low golden light, I often give it kind of sunrise. Sunset or sunrise, those terms in there or early
morning or late evening. I gave those times a day and I find that really,
really useful. Another thing is
give it an artist. If, for example, there's
an artist I love, right? And he's called a
love his style, assignments, style and heart. I love his artwork. So I'll often drop in the term Simon style and hard because I just love
his style of art. So give it. What this software is
doing is all the keywords. It'll do a search,
online search. It'll look at Simon
style on hog. Another artist I love
is Quentin Blake. So he's the illustrator
of the Roald Dahl box. So I love his style. So I'll often use that
using an artist that you inspired by or that you want
to create similar work too, is really, really good. Let's say you wanted to create
work similar to Van Gough. If you put band off in there, it's going to try and adapt
and build that styling. I wouldn't ever give
it Vanguard and Simon Stone hard because
they're quite different. But give it some artists because that's a
really good thing. Few more terms like art station, if you wanted to,
fantasy and sci-fi. Art station is a platform where it's full of that kind of stuff. So if you've saved trend
in on art station, it'll have a look at
what's trending on art station and it'll try
and recreate similar stuff. I also find, if I add
rendered in Unreal Engine, that'll give it a
sort of more 3D look. I'm someone who does sort of
3D modelling and all that. So I'll often ads,
you'll see in here. I've got octane render us or
add that in corona renderer. And I mean, just look
at some of this, some of the stuff in here. You can, if you're
going to be specific, you could say cinematic, atmospheric, epic, concept
art, matte painting. I've given at the time of day, mid-morning with blue skies, shafts of light, mist, photo realistic,
all of that stuff. So artists isn't one, almost also art movements. If these ones I
wanted to be quite, I haven't got the word
abstract enough, I did. But I wanted some of them
to be quite abstract. Vector art I love. But if you want something to
be art nouveau or modernist, if you were to google different
movements with examples, if you wanted something
to quite Cubist, then that would
be a way forward. If you wanted something
like pop art, then say pop art. Was there a link back here, the most famous art
movement and styles. So again, avant-garde, Bauhaus,
cubism, constructivism. Have a look at these.
Are you trying to create something like this? Block style or
Bauhaus or classic isn't use these terms because it'll look at what
constructivism is. For example, another
artist I love didn't ski super trying to create
something similar to his work. Go for it. I loved
Matisse as well. So if we're trying
to create something like this, then go for it. Artist's time of day. Art styles, those are all
good things to include. Just experiment. The other thing I'd
recommend is go and have a look at this prompt
stuff in here. Prompt tips, have a look at what other people are created if you want to create characters. And they say, I love this one, for example, okay, well
they're using these prompts. There's no reason why you
can't copy and paste that, but add a few of
your own, maybe. Use that and add watercolor in. Nationalists got a
watercolor field to it, or add term gothic because
I've just seen it down here. So does something similar to
this, but makes it Gothic. That's it really
for my prompt tips, what I'm gonna do in
the next session is I'm just gonna give you a little
bit of a class challenge because I'm really super keen
to see all the work that you guys make with this
and I want you to upload it in the next final session. I'm going to go through that. So cheers for tuning in, and I'll see you in
the next lesson.
7. Project Task (Assignment): Hi folks. So for the challenge or the
project for this course, I'm going to say two things. Basically, I really
want to see what you guys can create
with MIT journey. So I want you to create
two things for me. I want you to create a
piece of art work which is environment based on
what you need to create. A piece of artwork which
is character-based. There's no more strings to that, but I want you to post
those to creations up in the project area along with
the prompts that you've used. Because again, it'll
inspire other, other people think that prompt helps you get
that piece of artwork. That's cool. I don't want the full panel. I want you to upscale
one and upload like a good quality final one. So one environment and one-character share them
and show you a prompt. And we can all give each other feedback
and also inspire each other to see what
each other can do. So that's your end of, end of course project
and challenge. I'm super excited to see
what you guys create. Choose to tune in
joining this course. And I really do hope you
enjoyed. See you again.
8. Bonus Lesson - Add or removing detail in Photoshop: Okay folks, I've got a bit of a bonus lesson for you here. Earlier I mentioned, I'll show you a little bit
of a bonus on how to merge detailed and non detailed
versions in Photoshop, for example, I've got a not
very detailed version here. I've used the upscale,
light upscale redo, but I've also got a
detailed version and I may like certain bits and not
bitter the other one. So what I'll do is I'm
going to open the thing. I'm going to start with
a detailed version and doesn't matter which
one you start with. And I'm going to drag that into Photoshop so you
can only do this, but if you've got
Photoshop, but you can do it in other programs as well. But again, it's not
key to the course, so don't worry, if you
haven't got Photoshop, you can skip over this. Um, what I'm gonna do, I've
got the non detailed version. I'm going to open up
the detailed version by just dragging into here. So now in Photoshop
I can flick between the two and you can
see the differences. So what I'm gonna do
is I'm going to drag this layer here from detailed
into the non detailed. So drag the layer and drag
it on top and just make sure you drag it to the
pink lines show like that, like a window, so
it's exactly on top so I can turn on and off. Okay. What I would do now
is I really like the detail in the
lights by here, but I don't really
like it anywhere else. So what I'm gonna do is
with this layer here, I'm going to rename
this to detail. And I'm going to rename this
background to norm detail. And with the detail is selected, if you click the Layer Mask, what it's gonna do is it's gonna give you a
white layer mask. And I'm going to right-click
and I'm going to click. Now I'm just going to go
and get black paint bucket. And with that selected, not this, but that,
click, click that. And what it's gonna
do is I can now get a rush and select white. And I can start painting
back in that image. So what you'll see
wherever this and do it on the layer mask by here, not this one, otherwise your actual painting
color onto it. Click this one, make
sure your paint in white and it basically painting that detail back in so you can limit where that
detail is coming in. So I'm going to delete it
again, delete that layer mask. So I've got detail on top
with its selected click, the layer mask is white, which means it's showing
through everywhere. So just get your paint bucket, hold you click and just select the paint bucket and
switch this to black. Drag it in there, in
this one, not this one. And now get your brush. Make sure it's white
and you can start painting in that detail
where you want it. So I can bring
detailed back in here. Okay. Back into this area
and this area, but here, maybe I just want
it in the buildings and not the people because, you know, it was just
maybe too distracting in there or whatever. And so bring it back and
paint it quite loosely. And there we go. I may want to bring
it back in here. Actually has too much, but there may wouldn't
bring it back in there. Or what you can do is you
can change this to a gray. Or actually let's just change the opacity of the brush
to like 20 per cent. So you start to bring
in a little bit of it, but not too much. And you'll notice it's
not in that in that, but there is not white. It's kind of a bit
gray, so it's not bringing it in completely. So you can just start
to bring bits of it across and maybe start to
bring a little bit in there, maybe a little bit in him. So what you're doing
is you're painting this back in gradually. Okay. So that's my little pro tip on how to merge some of these. Okay, So I'll finish it there. And I hope you found
that useful as well. But yeah, Cheers.
