Learn MidJourney | Beginners | Ai Art is the next big thing

1. Welcome to Midjourney - The Future: Welcome to the future. Artificial intelligence art, or a short AIR, is the next big thing. Discourse is an investment into your future. Jump in early and set yourself up for success. I can't explain how big this is. You type in something, anything and mid journey creates that any style, any color, literally anything that you can think of from creative work, too realistic photos, booze, simply silly designs. This is all done in mid journey and I'm going to teach you how you can get started with it. Think of mid journey and AIR, like learning to code 20 years ago. Invest time into it and you're gonna get incredible benefits down the road. Join me as I explain everything for regular people who don't have any previous experience whatsoever, I'm going to explain everything step-by-step. Gonna have cheat sheets that you can use, resources of all sorts so you can get awesome results. Listen, I've been teaching Photoshop for over ten years. Trust me, this is the next big thing and you need this course. This is one of the best ways to get ahead. This is the first step into becoming an expert in cutting-edge technology. Start today and your future self will thank you for jumping in early. So let's get started with my journey. 2. Use this approach with MidJourney: Welcome back. Mid journey is incredible. It's fantastic. You type something and it magically create something awesome. You look at the showcase and your jaw drops, even if you're not a designer, even more. So if you are a designer and you jump in and you want to learn that you want to learn mid journey, but chances are you're going to find it frustrating. See you look at the gallery and what other people are doing, and then you compare it to your results. And obviously you're going to be disappointed. The beginning is 0. So for illustrating the interface itself, it's challenging. The prompts are difficult to learn. You have limited time and resources and mid journey is eating them up. This is why you need the right approach before we get into all those details. So think of mid journey as an investment into your future. Don't assume that my journey as a finished product that's going to deliver every single time? No, actually things are quite crazy at the moment. Things are changing week after week. This is a time where you get used to it and you practice. This is like learning to code. 20 years ago, they went through all of these difficult steps, all the ups and downs, all the frustration learning phase. This is what's going on right now with my journey, and that's how you should approach it. See, I jumped into it and I wanted an image of some ginger and a slice of lemon for the label of mine for some lemonade, right? This is an actual product of mine. Now, that should be easy enough, right? Well, I spent hours and hours and hours. If fried my brain, I got so frustrated because it kept giving me silly results or blurry ones. And I did my best. I followed up guides, I watched tutorials and whatnot, but it's still messed up and they ended up wasting hours. It would have been much faster to use any classic resource like Adobe Stock, Unsplash, free pack or Envato elements. All the links are attached, by the way, if you're looking for the awesome results that you can immediately use, maybe this is not the right approach using my journey. Now. Sure. Devolve cases where mid journey does give you exactly what you want. But from my experience, those are exceptions. If you're looking for something very specific, you may not get it and it's frustrating. So in conclusion, let's use my journey so we can get the use of this technology not to deliver something when we have a deadline. Now, no matter what updates come along, how they interface changes, how the technology improves, it's essential that we understand that this is the future and we want to be a part of it. So if you manage your expectations and realize that this is going to be challenging and frustrating when you're looking for something very specific. And Yolanda Clarke, then if you realize it's going to be challenging and you're ready for the entire experience. We're going to be much better said the mindset is actually one of the most important things. So don't expect the world. Let's take it step-by-step with just learning how to walk. We're not going to sprint. First of all, we're going to learn the basics. Let's continue. 3. Get started with Midjourney: Welcome back. Mid journey works based on this scored, at least for the moment. So this means that you first have to get up and running with this gourd. If you already know how to use the program, please skip ahead. Okay, this gourd is a chat program similar to Slack, skype or maybe even Yahoo Messenger. This chord works in your browser, in the BAB, but you can also install it as a standalone program. And that's what I actually recommend you use. It's a slightly better experience. Signing up for this chord is totally free, so I'll quickly go through the steps. It's putting in your details. You're the email, verifying your email. Nothing more complicated than signing up for Gmail or any mainstream service. Now, while I work in the background, you do have a step-by-step guide attached to the lecture just in case you need more help with that. And we can go through the motions. So your email address, your username, which isn't really all that important to be honest, and so on. Okay, now what you need to know about this gourd is that it works in basically two ways. You can private message someone exactly like on Facebook Messenger or Skype. So a one-to-one direct message or one-to-one conversation. And in that case, you're going to need to know someone's username if you want to talk to someone. But most of the time you're going to use this gourd in server mode, which basically means you're going to enter a room, aka server with lots of people and anyone can chat. Again, very similar to Slack, e.g. by the way, this gourd may show you some pop-ups asking you to buy stuff, upgrades and whatnot. There's no need for that, no need to pay for anything within this gourd and it's totally empty. It's asking us to add the friend, but we actually want to go to the med journey server. Okay, remember, server just means room chat room. We can click here and if you hover over them, you can see it says, explore the public servers or rooms, chat rooms. And once we're here, we can use the search bar and simply type in mid journey. If you click on it, you'll be brought to it. And this is why most people get intimidated. It's overwhelming to be honest, but no worries. It's actually quite simple. Up top, you should see this message that says join mid journey. Click it, and you'll have to prove that you are human most of the time. And once you do that, you're gonna get a success message. You are now a member of this server mid journey. Okay? Now, remember you do have to verify your email address and stuff like that. But let's say that you can't manage to use the Search feature from the left side of this chord to find the mid journey server. Okay, no worries. You can do this as an alternative. Go to your browser and go to med journey.com. From here, click on join the beta. And basically that's it. You're gonna be taken to the server. And just so it's easy to understand, let me join my server as well. I made this chat room for all of my students. So we're gonna put in my name here, Chris barren. And you're going to see my face. Click on it and then you can join that totally free, of course. So let's do a small recap. So first of all, you sign up for this chord, the free chatroom program. Then you search for the mid journey server, aka chat room, by using this compass icon in Discord or the by going to that website, mid journey.com. Once you have here, this is how you can use this chord. So every chat room you're a B2B is going to show here. In this example we have two servers. This is mine and you can see my thumbnail. And you can see this is the active one by checking out this symbol here. And underneath you have various channels that I created to keep things organized. E.g. if you want to talk about Photoshop, you can see we have a channel specifically made for that, but I also teach Figma. Again, there's a channel for that as well. If you want to see high, There's introduce yourself. So these helped me keep my chat room organized. Simply click on them to switch from room to room. That's how you basically on-point to switch to a different server. You're going to click here. Notice that here things that are different from my server, we have rules support, and so on. Now, the great thing about it is that you don't actually need any of this stuff with my journey. Go to any newbie room, and then you're going to find the med journey bot. That's exactly how it's called. So you're gonna click on it to send it any message, any character, and just hit enter. And that's because we're going to work in private mode. So this means we'll have to pay for it. But trust me, this is the only way to go. I'm sorry to say that the free plan is super limited. It forces you to go to a chat room that's being used by hundreds of people. And it's basically a nasty experience, is so overwhelming, it's so difficult. So that's why we're going to go for the bait land to have a one-to-one conversation right here. Okay. We haven't paid yet. But let's try to use my journey. So let's type in slash and then imagine, then hit the spacebar. Prompt is going to show up and that's totally fine. That's normal. Type in anything like car e.g. and hit Enter. And just like that, you're going to see that you're not allowed to do that because you haven't paid. No worries. We're going to get the 10-dollar plan. Click on this link. Mid journey.com slash account. Sometimes it may not take you to your account. You may get this screen, but no worries. Click on Sign-in, wait for the second, and then you're gonna be asked for some permissions. It's totally fine. Go ahead. It's all safe. Okay. After that's done, you're going to see my journey.com slash account. This is the place to be. On the left. Managed subscription is active. Switch to monthly billing. And by the 10-dollar the plan, if you have a VAT Code, you can't add it for the initial Burgess. You can only add it afterwards. So yes, you will have to pay VAT for the first month, hit subscribe. And once you put in your credit card information, you can go back to this chord and use the same command slash. Imagine then car. Wait awhile. And this is going to work. Check out the step-by-step guide in the PDF that's attached in case you need any help or do you can also come to my Discord server and ask for help, but please always, always use the general channel. We don't have that many students. There's not a lot going on, so it's quite easy to use the public channels. Please don't private message me. Okay, let's continue. 4. This is how you get better at using Midjourney: Welcome back. I know that you want to jump ahead and get to the part where you can use mid journey Like a Pro and it spits out exactly what you're looking for. But get that point, we need to establish a few things. Number one, range anxiety. Now with given to details later on. But right now you should know there are three paid plans available on mid journey.com. Please start out with a basic plan that's $10 per month. You should have subscribed in the previous lecture, then you'll probably going to upgrade the $30 plan. And this should be enough for most people. Now, you may not be happy about paying, but as I said, this is an investment into your future. For this course, you can stay on the $10 plan, but later on you will need the $30 plan. Now, trouble is you have some limits. A certain number of images per month, a certain number of hours. So this is where range anxiety comes in, exactly like with electric cars. You're not sure that if you're gonna make it now, sometimes it's mostly in your head. You start to worry, am I wasting get, is this the right command and mid journey? Should I do another version and see when bullets are scarce and precious, you begin to doubt yourself. You are no longer in learning mode. You then anxiety mode. And I want you to know that's not the right approach, right? This is not the right in line set. So my advice is you fire away. And if you want to be completely OK, go for the $30 land after you finish this one, where you're going to have unlimited bullets, so to speak, you can fire the way non-stop. Now, there's a lot more to say, but I really wanted to address this part. Please don't limit yourself. Don't watch the time or don't watch how your resources are going down. Just work, explore, and try to have fun with it. And that's the second point I want to establish the second thing, explore the words possible. Now, most serious major new users seem to agree that this is a tool for creative people. It's not going to replace designers altogether. It's a tool that can help you navigate difficult projects. Med journey helps you find the style, a color scheme, a look of vibe. It's browsing for inspiration, but in a more guided fashion, you tell it what you want and then made journey is going to come up with ideas. So this is useful for things like, I don't know, creating games, posters, animations, creating rough drafts. It's not that mid journey will never ever give you a finished result. It's more about having the meeting with ten people and brainstorming, showing golf various concepts and getting closer to a certain vision. In the past, skilled designers, the days and weeks to come up with a style, a look of vibe. Then lots of people had a meeting and they said, I don't know, maybe we need it in blue, maybe make it happier, maybe in a different color scheme. And then scale designers were upset. They went back to the drawing board, they wrens, then they repeated this process. It was low, it was expensive, it was frustrating, it was time-consuming. Now with mid journey, you can accelerate all of that. The design of the shows concepts that he made and maybe a few hours. The meeting is so much shorter and the final concept is approved much faster. So to sum this up, my journey is unlikely going to replace all designers. It's likely going to be a tool that can help designers become more productive. And overall, it's going to speed up this creative process. So that's how you should look at it. 5. Create your first images in midjourney: Welcome back. Let's create our first images and mid journey. So let's start out with the basics. First of all, you've installed this gourd and you can always find that in your task bar, even if you hit the X symbol is not actually going to close. It's just gonna get minimized. Next, we always want to use the direct message feature so we won't get swamped by what's happening in the public channels. Here, the main command is slash. Imagine. After you are going to headspace, you're going to get prompt. This is how my journey works. A prompt is a command, it's an instruction. And you can type in just about anything that you can think of. E.g. let's use car. Once you've hit enter, your command is going to generate. Sometimes it's going to take a few seconds, other times it may take a few minutes. You will also see a percentage showing you your progress. When MIT journey is done, you're gonna get a notification, both the sound and the message. So you don't actually have to sit around and wait for it. Okay, let's do another prompt. So slash, imagine red car. And after the while, you're gonna get four more images. Now, before we continue, let's use this command slash settings. Currently, these are the available commands. What we want is the latest version, and that's version five. At the moment, M J stands for mid journey. We want the standard quality and the style typically very high. The only other option right now for this specific land that 10-dollar bland is remixed mode, which I encourage you to enable more on that later on. Okay, back to other image creation. So let's use slash. Imagine red car in Paris with soft lights. Okay, So as you can see, we're adding a bit more details with building it up. The more details, the better the result. Though at one point it can be counter-productive. More on that later, every time you create something, you are going to get for the photos, you can click on the image to get a better view. If that's not enough, you can use this tiny text here that says open in browser. And that actually really helps a lot. And then this latest version, the quality is quite high. Now why for the photos? So you have options to choose from. Now, these are numbered 123.4. So if you're super happy with the bottom-left one, that's actually number three. Now, say that we want to use it. Now the problem in this gourd, you're going to hit U three. You can remember you as up-sampling, which simply means make it larger after a short while, you can see the result, open it in your browser and save the photo. Now at this moment, the default size is 1024 by 1024. I'm going to show you how you can make it bigger to Photoshop later on. But up to recap, if you're happy with the image, hit you, and it's number, if you're not happy with it, hit V, which stands for the variation e.g. let's hit V2, which means we're going to have a variation of image number two, this one. But rather than having a red car, let's go for the blue car, e.g. we can also add various other details to get the photo that we're looking for. And because we've enabled re-mix mode, we get to do that. Now, if you've disabled re-mix mode, mid journey is going to randomly created different version without being able to type anything differently. Now, unfortunately, remixing doesn't always give you the results you're looking for. And it's really important that you realize that from the start sometimes it's much better to start from scratch. So just use slash. Imagine blue car in Paris with soft lights. And it's much more likely that you're going to get a better photo. Now, in short, this is the entire approach in mid journey. That other few other commands and choices. We're gonna go through them step-by-step. And you're going to have cheat sheets as PDFs that you can always use to refresh your memory. But to recap, you can always use slash imagine. Then you write what you want. Never think about how many bullets you have left in your account. How many images you can generate, your gonna run out, maybe in a week, maybe in two weeks. So you're likely going to have to upgrade. But it's a small price to pay considering this is cutting-edge technology and you're basically paying for your education. I know it's not affordable than dollars or $30 per month. But in a couple of months, you should be professional. You should be great at it without being worried that your credits and how much you have left. And with that, let's continue. 6. Show me your world through Midjourney: Welcome back. I want to see a piece of your world and the best way of doing that is to do mid journey. Here's what I want you to do. Use lash imagine and then write something like a regular day in Bucharest, Romania, that's the capital of Romania, My country. Now, the funny thing is that mid journey is showing a lot of historic buildings, but tons of traffic. And those loads of people sitting on the sidewalk having coffee or whatever. That's not exactly accurate. Still, it's a nice way to see your own city through a different lens. Now what I want you to focus on is a fairly simple prompt. Maybe do one the likes of a rainy day in Bucharest, Romania. By the way, I'm speeding things up through editing because obviously mid journey actually takes quite awhile. Okay? The results are totally awesome. You will notice that the cars aren't exactly realistic or that all signs of actually written in gibberish, that's the current state of my journey. It doesn't render text correctly. Now, the overall image is quite nice. So please do a few prompts of your own city, then maybe do another one of your country. And when you're happy, select the version you like most. Hit U and then get the single photo at a decent size. Please upload one or two photos to the platform so I can see a piece of your city or country. To be fair, maid journey may not be exactly accurate. The traffic isn't as bad as it's shown here in this photo. And we don't really have that many historic buildings. Nevertheless, it's a great way to see how algorithms see your city. And here's how med journeys. He's Romania as a whole. Now, I was expecting some stereotypes and her, well, that's exactly what I got. Loads of cows. It's easy to be unsalted. Booker S is actually a huge IT Hub in Eastern Europe. We have loads of things that were known for. We have glass buildings all over the place. We have beautiful new architecture. Now it's showing a small village with animals may be seen as insulting. But I would still pose something like it. Some people see as maybe medieval ICS, charming, relaxing a window into a different type of world. And we do have lots of villages where people do live off the land and they do have sheeps and cows. So that's cool. But let's do one final prompt. I'm gonna go with something super vague romania pattern. We do have quite a long history of having specific patterns in our clothing. So this one does seem right. Now. This may seem odd for some people, but these were the types of patterns that were knitted by my grandma when I was five or so. Okay, So that's a slice of Romania and book arrest. Now it's your turn. Show me something that highlights your city or the country. Keep the prompt super-simple. Have fun with it, and don't be afraid of posting something that may not show you in the best possible light. Every city and country has good and bad parts. Have fun with it. Thank you. 7. Discover better prompts: Welcome back. When you go to MIT journey.com and you've logged in, you will find an area called Explore. Or if you have not logged in, you're going to see a button that says showcase. That's the same thing. Now, I have to say that this has incredible stuff, gorgeous images that make you feel alive. It shows you what's possible. Trouble is, most of your results are then gonna be this sharp, at least not at the beginning. That's why I want you to make sure you understand that this is going to take some time. This will be frustrating at times. When you compare your work, your results with these ones, you're gonna be disappointed. No worries. This is part of the game, is like learning how to swim or ride a bike. First of all, you're going to swallow some water. You will scrape your knees and elbows. It's fine. You're going to manage. Don't worry about it. But the great thing about this gallery is that you can see they're prompts if you're logged in, of course. Now, this is going to feel a bit overwhelming because most of these prompts are crazy long and highly detailed. Previously we said red car and Paris. But these guys are writing many novels and that's totally fine. You'll eventually get there. My advice is you look at these as sources of inspiration. And if you scroll down, you can see other examples that are somewhat similar. Let's take one of these prompts and just copy paste it and see what we get. This is quite important because based on these borrowed prompts, let's not call them stolen. You can actually take a shortcut. And as you can see, this is quite similar to the original one. And more than that because we're using re-mix mode, we can actually choose to do a variation, say V3. So a variation of the third photo, That's the bottom-left one, and maybe add or remove a few things. And that's how we can make it into our own original photo without any moral questions. So to recap, if you absolutely love something from this showcase and you want your own version, simply copy paste the prompt. If it's too similar and you're not comfortable with that, then use the V buttons to make a variation. As a reminder, if you click on any V button and you don't get this pop-up window, then that means that re-mix mode is not turned on. Use slash settings. And you're going to see re-mix mode. Click it. And that's gonna give you the option to have that pop up that allows you to add or remove stuff. One thing before we go, people liked the cell guides that promised you to get these types of results. My advice, stick with this gallery and play with my journey as much as you can. As long as Yolanda ten or $30 plan, it's much better to simply generate loads of images rather than paying for the guides. 8. Use other people’s prompts: Welcome back. Let's try to use other people's problems by using the showcase section from mid journey.com. Remember you have to be logged in. Now, there are two ways to work. You can copy the prompt or you can copy the entire command. And here's the difference. The prompt is just a description, a series of words without any parameters. While a full command also contains things like the aspect ratio, the quality setting, the style, how close it should follow the prompt and so on. So if you really want a very similar result, you should copy the full command like so. See before the weak base that we do have to be aware of something. When we use slash settings, you might already have a suffix, meaning certain parameters that you already set, like style, very high, mg, F5 and so on. But because you chose to copy the full command which already has settings, you're going to need to clear your existing suffix. Otherwise you're gonna get something like V4 and V5 or the S 750, but also as 2.5D. And that's because you have the entire command copied, but you also have a suffix. So please do the following. If you want to copy the full command, use slash suffix. We can see a bit of text right here, and we're going to hit Enter to clear it. That's exactly what we want. Now we no longer have any settings of our own, and that means that we can paste the full command that we copied. And there you go. This is all good. But I want to have fun with it in a different way. This is how I actually like to work. I'm going to change my settings to what I prefer to use. And that's mg F5 and styled very high with remixed mode turned on. Then I'm going to copy prompts. So just prompts, Not full commands. I'm just going to browse around and I'm going to look at what styles catch my eye. I like to use Notepad and base the prompts that I like. So simply go to the gallery and choose a few that you like as well. I'm going to jump ahead. Now with these ones selected, you can replace the main subject in every prompt with whatever you want. E.g. right here that I'm going to use maybe I don't know, a red car, but maybe a cat or a girl or whatever you are looking for. Now, not all of these prompts are going to work, but most of them will do just fine. Now the results, again, they may be a mixed bag, but here's the point, Here's the goal. As you generate 102050 of these, you're going to start to understand that watercolor acrylic dynamic composition seemed like a good choice. Those with just some random examples, you make a note that I don't know, macro photography seems to give you the result that you're looking for. So that's the goal to get used to certain words that typically work for you to be fair. Some of these prompts are quite repetitive. E.g. if you go for the ultra high definition, for the k8k, ultra sharp, those are basically the same thing. You may play around with them and cut out a few. But yeah, that's the objective. Use other people's prompts based on the showcase section and then make a note of those few keywords that you actually like. Be at photo realism, isometric, smoky background or whatever. So have fun with it and put this showcase section to good use. Again, I like to copy just the prompt and not the entire command, but you do you. Thank you. 9. The best shortcut for great results: Welcome back. I get the fact that you want incredible results right from the start. So I'm going to show you the best strategy right up front. Say that we want this beautiful style, right? I have no idea how to begin to describe it. What prompt I should use. I just saw it somewhere and I have no prompt for it. Maybe this is from a blog, maybe a stock image gallery like Adobe stock may be shut on stock. So then what's next? How can we replicate that? Well, we're going to use this command slash describe. And then when you hit the Spacebar key, you're going to have the option to upload any photo. This is by far the best shortcut and made journey that will give you awesome results. Basically, this tells mid journey. Hey, I have this photo. How do you see it? How would you describe it? And then measure knee is going to give you four options for prompts. Now you can just click on any of them and then see the result. I like to click on all of them because I don't have any range anxiety. And most often than not, the photos are going to be quite similar. To be fair at the moment, there are a few bugs. Sometimes the upload feature doesn't work. There are the upload errors here and there, but I'm sure this is just a temporary bug. Now, this is how you cut coordinates so you don't have to memorize any list of prompts, e.g. angular, isometric diorama, and whatever. To be honest, even I don't know what some of those words mean. And here's another thing. Sometimes mid journey recognizes a style of an author, e.g. let's use I denote slash. Imagine a cat drawn in Picasso's style. And then we'll see what that gives us. So Picasso, picasso, I think. Anyway, wait a moment. And I think this is legit. But the question is, how many artists do you know? That's an issue. But with the described feature, you no longer have to do all of that heavy lifting. So here's how I like to work, especially for my social media posts. Go search for Adobe Stock. Simply type in your browser, stock.adobe.com. If you just search for the Adobe stock, it may actually tell you the price of a share for the actual Adobe company. Anyway, right, with here. Now I'm a designer and say that I want to pose something beautiful, something that's stunning. Basically that will grab people's attention, right? Pretty basic stuff. Let's go with exactly that designer. I think we should switch to illustration mode though. One small note, you could potentially Bay and get these images. You can use them. But you have to pay a subscription. Trouble is if you check out the pricing plan, especially the month to month one, the payment schedule, well, you're going to see it's quite expensive. It starts at €30 to be photos. Yeah. The put that into perspective for 30 bucks. You're gonna get unlimited photos in mid journey. So paying for this type of subscription is very, very much expensive. So let's scratch that and go back to the list of results and download something, just about anything that you like here. And now we can copy that style to meet journey. It's really that easy. One thing to note is that mid journey doesn't do well with text. Well not in this version anyway, so try to avoid using any bags. It's best that you remember that mid journey is a tool in your arsenal, is not the only one. It's not the end-all, be-all. You should also use Photoshop or some other different program to fine-tune your results, add text and really make it your own. But with that, we now know that slash describe is one of the best ways of getting some awesome results. Just have a look and you're going to see that this works wonders if you're looking for similar sources of inspiration like Adobe stock, I'm going to have a PDF with a few lengths, but for now, this is my best shortcut. Let's continue. 10. Midjourney vs Dall-E 2 vs Stable Diffusion vs ...Midjourney vs: Welcome back. You may know that my journey is not the only player in the AI art game right now. And because we're human, we want the absolute best. We don't want to miss out. We want to pick the best team. Is the new iPhone better or the new Samsung? Maybe huawei, is it Mercedes or Lexis or BMW? Now, in this context, is it Dolly, stable diffusion or Adobe firefly? And the list grows every single month. Now my advice is this, please don't worry about it. Made journey is one of the most popular ones. You can't really go wrong with it. There's no absolute best platform because it's way too early to call it. If you think about Figma versus Adobe XD, to programs that were built for the exact same purpose to design beautiful websites and apps. They were head the head for the number of years. But after the while, Figma simply shot past Adobe XD, it grew exponentially. People love that and this compounded into more and more users content, tutorials, plugins and so on. It took a while, it took a few years. At this stage, it's way too early to CF stable diffusion may end up averaging over the other competitors or if my journey is going to keep it alone. Because at this point, there's no doubt that at the moment, mid journey is the king. Everybody is using it. So I really wanted to take this moment and tell you to not complicate things and don't approach AIR with anxiety. Things are constantly going to change and we have to be okay with that. Change is always scary and uncomfortable. E.g. my journey was launched on Discord and it was a bit of a pain to get used to it right after you get comfortable with that, boom, just like that, they're going to launch their own website with a much friendlier interface. So all those settings and commands that you learned, well, they're gonna be replaced with a much better, more intuitive interface, easier to use overall, a lot better. So let's have a relaxed attitude. Stick with mid journey for the moment. And if there's ever a point where one competitor shoots up and lows mid journey out of the water. I'm going to tell you about it. I'm keeping an eye on things. I have no horse in the game. I'm not betting on anyone. I'm here to learn alongside you and be on the cutting-edge of BEC. Now, if I had to choose one, I would probably use food for Adobe firefly. And that's because there'll be Firefly is gonna get integrated with Photoshop, maybe even Adobe Illustrator. The future seems bright, but again, I'm not betting on anyone. I'm not betting on any program. I'm just observing and I'm learning and I'm growing as a designer. And with that, let's continue. 11. This is how I’m using Midjourney to grow a business: Welcome back. At this point with having some fun and mid journey. And it's all in the name of learning. That's all fine and well. But what about more practical uses? How can you use it in a way where all that content helps a business? Well, social media is key. When I browse around on Instagram, e.g. I see a lot of basic content, right? Nothing wrong with it, but it's not fantastic. It's not wow, you know. So this is what I've started doing one day out of the month, I plan out my entire content for that specific business. I create loads of design tips and then I use mid-year need to add some type of striking image. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's gorgeous. Fact there's, this will help engagement quite a lot because versus all the other basic content, this stands out. And I believe more and more companies are going to look for these types of images, this type of content. Now, while you could churn out quite a lot of them with Chad GBD for the actual dip and then mid journey for the visual part. You still have to connect the dots. You still need a good concept and you have to think about what works well, you know, it's like a joke. We all know there's a setup of some sorts, an introduction, and then a punchline. But I'm making a joke is actually quite tricky. It's difficult coming up with something original. That's the issue. So this is why I still believe that these tools made journey and chat GBD. They need the human behind them, at least at this point. So that's one way to go about that. You can create loads of content, then schedule it by using some type of tool. I actually just change programs from later.com to belly. I think that's how you pronounce it. It's Australian Pali anyway, Valley is a bit cheaper, so I just switched and basically I can schedule everything across my entire social media. So that's how we can help a company grow. Now, by the way, you may be a bit unfamiliar with this program. This is Adobe XD, and for designs that are going to remain onscreen, it's my go-to program is fast, it's lightweight, it's super comfortable. Shirt. I love Figma as well and Figma is free. I'm in Adobe XD. I can right-click any image and edit it in Photoshop. The bad news is that the Adobe XD is then bucks per month. Nevertheless, this is one way of creating valuable comp. And now the second way is the workbook that you actually have attached to this course. This was also created in Adobe XD and it's based on my journey as well. It breaks up the monotony of having to read a whole bunch of bags. And here's another thing. I was actually planning on the printed workbook for one of my courses and my native language. So something that's not available internationally, but that one actually needs to be done in Adobe InDesign, a special program that's meant for print that projects. But a man from XD to InDesign. Indesign is slow as ****. It's a snail versus Adobe XD. You know, when you compare the two, it's no contest. But yeah, coming back to it, my goal is to make a printed book that looks awesome, that looks as well as the digital one. So yeah, that's three ways in total to which I've created value. You can think of mid journey as a bit of cheese, good cheese that is added to some faster and it becomes tastier, added to a sandwich, maybe a burger. The same thing happens by itself, just the cheese. It's not all that great. Sure, these images are lovely to look at, just cheese. But when you include these images in some type of contexts where the content itself is actually valuable and you give people a tip that they can immediately use than Wow, that's a meal, that's the rise. Please let me know in the comments section, what are the uses you can think of? How you can help companies from all over the world to do mid journey. What situations you can think of where adding a bit of spice will help you out. Maybe PowerPoint presentations for meetings may be pitch decks. I don't know, these are just a few examples. Let me know what you can come up with and I'm gonna read them in the comments section for now. Let's continue. Thank you so much. 12. 23 is this correctIs Midjourney ethically correct?: Welcome back. The genome that a lot of creative people are quite upset at the existence of mid journey and similar AI tools. Here's why. First of all, we know that chat GPT will very likely put a lot of people out of their job, is going to cut back on jobs dramatically. Rather than having ten people do certain tasks, you can have only one or two. It's going to be really bad in terms of employment. But see, that's not why MIT journey is actually on fire. Actually, the music industry is one area through which we can best understand WhatsApp. Here's the situation. Some people create that Jay-Z songs, M&M versus Drake songs, all without their permission. They basically train the model to all of their songs. And it managed to generate that voice to a level where you couldn't tell that was a robot. So basically brand new jazzy songs without him having to sing. Now, that begs the question, Is that okay? Is that morally correct? What about in terms of the law? Coming back to designing the problem is clear as they met journey is showing us watermarks and artists signatures because it's analyzing their work and it's basically stealing get yes, stealing, get from Behance, from dribble from all over the place. So is this right? No, I don t think so. It's borderline stealing. In some cases, it's a clear of death. In other cases, it's maybe at best a gray area. And here's why MIT journey didn't ask any designers if they're okay with the work being used. They just took it, be it from Behance Dribble art station, just about any other design platform out there. It browse the Internet web and stole all that information. It's stolen. Now, these platforms like mid journey or the Scraping, just about everything that you can think of. They're analyzing everything, but they're not paying anyone. So as an end-user, you are happy with a new Drake song or with a photo that looks like, I don't know, go coup from Dragon Ball Z. But what about the artist, the creative team behind that product? Every single artist that you know, respect and love has put in countless hours, years of sweat and blood into their craft. And now anyone can recreate their style daily work in the metal of minutes. It's not right. So why am I creating a course on mid journey? If at best, this is a gray area because we need to know our enemy. We need to see what's going on and be a part of it. It will take quite a lot of time until new laws are passed and this thing gets settled. If we simply choose to ignore my journey, if we act like it doesn't exist, it's going to hurt us even more as designers that are millions of users on my journey right now. And it's still very early days. While I would love to say, hey, let's all boy, call that. Let's not use my journey and that's going to teach them. I think that's a battle that's already lost. My guess is that the music industry is going to heavily push for new laws and those laws will be applied to the design world. You probably know that if you upload any copyrighted song on YouTube, e.g. is going to get flagged. And the method of minutes, maybe in the method of hours, or at most in a few days. These platforms have algorithms that are so sophisticated that you immediately get caught if you tried to do something shady. So I guess that's what's going to happen in the future. Now, let me tell you the good news. Adobe Firefly is right now in beta. This is a competitor of my journey and there'll be seems like a good actor. They will only analyze their own stock photo library. And from what I understand that the consent there that asking for permission otherwise said, if you put your work on the platform and you want to sell it like a stock photo, you may be okay with algorithms analyzing yet and letting people get a benefit as long as you're getting paid or credited in some shape. For now, Adobe Firefly is baking into every single image, some type of code that says, Hey, this is generated, this is not 100 per cent original work. Now I'm simplifying things, but yeah, that's the essence. Adobe fireflies seems to be one of the good guys, but we'll have to wait and see. So let's sum this up. This is a Gold Rush. There are no laws right now. It's crazy as chaotic. It's also not right morally and possibly even from a legal standpoint. But I would much rather use this information to get educated and see what's going on. When Adobe Firefly or mid journey launches a version that's correct, legal, fair for all parties, then we can use it immediately. Again, it's best to know our enemy. It's tricky, It's complicated. And lots of designers, very skilled designers are going to get ripped off for months, maybe even a few years. It breaks my heart and I feel their pain. But until solid laws are put into place, we need to acknowledge our enemy. We need to make sure that we understand the future and where things are headed. Only then we can make adjustments and make clear demands in terms of what's fair and what's not. Thank you. 13. 10x the size of any image: Welcome back. But most people the size of mid journeys photos maybe. Okay. The standard is 1024 by 1024. If you use mid journey for, you could potentially use on up scalar that takes you up to 2048 by 2048. But I don't really recommend that even so, that may not be enough. What specific cases, e.g. if you want to print something, that's not going to be enough. Now, there are some tools on the web that promise you great results when you want to enlarge something. Trouble is they cost quite a lot or the base on the subscription service, or they simply don't work that well. Let me give you one example though. Pause. Gigapixel is one of the most well-known ones, and right now it's $99 per year. And I haven't used it, but I do have to say that. I don't recommend that. Here's why. Now first of all, the three is out of the questions. Free stuff doesn't wear it, right, especially for enlarging photos. Now should you may get a free trial here and there. It's probably only going to give you a few images to test that. But if you're in it for the long run, What's the solution and why don't I recommend this or that? Well, it's actually quite simple. Photoshop is a solution. Photoshop is in my book, one of the best investments. It's only $10 per month and it offers you a world of options, e.g. you can Tenex your images, maybe even more. And you're going to get, besides that, a literal boatload of other features. Now let me show you how this enlarging works. We're just going to focus on that. But again, developed so many other features in Photoshop that $10 per month. It's nothing. Now, if you're not paying for the Photoshop, what I'm about to tell you isn't going to work. So I'm using the latest Photoshop version at the moment and I'm going to open an image width control. Oh, this image is from my journey. Now I can quickly check the size with this shortcut. And again, it's not all bad grade than 24. Not a problem. Go to the top menu to filter. If this is grayed out, you may not have a subscription or you may need to do this. First convert for smart filters. Now, let's open up Neural Filters from the same menu, a new section in Photoshop that's going to be filled with AI, machine-learning, overall, magical goodness. Gonna love this stuff again for only ten bucks per month. Now from here, we're going to look for the super zoom. This is what we want. Flip this switch to enable it super zoom. Then simply click on this icon here to enlarge yet, you can go for crazy values like ten x. Though. I would suggest that you keep it on the lower than. Keep in mind that the higher the multiplier, the more the Photoshop has the thing, you're going to see a bar at the bottom to show you your progress. And after the while you're gonna get the new file, before do we get wet? You're going to see some of these options right here to enhance the photo, you can remove some of the inevitable noise that's going to creep and you can sharpen it a bit and so on. Again, this is one of the best ways to enlarge your photo by quite a lot. Now, in my everyday work, I like to keep the multiplier, set that for x. So that's 40, 96 by four D 96 more than enough for most situations, even for printing stuff. Now, in previous Photoshop versions, enlarging a photo which is officially called upsampling would give you blurry, soft edges, various artifacts. In short, it was a mess. Now with neural filters, the results are great. Now, if you look at it, it's not impeccable, right? It's not 100% perfect. Like this was made in Adobe Illustrator, e.g. but yeah, overall, it's solid stuff. By the way, always choose to show the result in a new document. So this is the best way to Tenex your images from mid journey. Use Photoshop, you Super Zoom and you'll be good to go. This is why I don't recommend any other service like topos or with any other platform. Good luck with it and have fun. 14. 11 Improve Midjourney photos: Welcome back. As I said at the start of the course, made journey is not the end-all, be-all. It's a tool that works well with other tools, specifically Photoshop. Here I have this lovely image. Here's the prompt on screen in case you want something similar. Now, this is quite alright, but it's not amazing. It's also quite small. 1024 by 1024, the standard size from mid journey. Well, let's enlarge it three times by going to the top menu to filter. From here, click on Convert for Smart Filters. Now use the same menu and from here click on Neural Filters, like in the previous lecture. Next, we're going to flip this switch called super zoom. By the way, please, please don't work on a laptop. A desktop computer with 224 inch displays running get to K If you want an ideal setup. That's what I consider to be the best possible scenario. If you're thinking about buying a new laptop, a desktop computer provides much more value for money, better performance. You can upgrade it. In short, it's a lot better. I know that some people need mobility, but most of the time, you could actually benefit a lot more from a desktop computer. Anyway, back to it. We'll make this three times as big and then we're going to open it in a new document. Okay, now that we're here, let's use Control Z though, the fit that design to the screen. Okay, now go to the same main menu to filter, but this time around choose Camera Raw Filter, this is going to load up in a second. And now right here we have a world of possibilities. First of all, we can click on this button that says, although from the top right side. And then Photoshop will do its own thing. If you don't like it, you can click it again to reset. But actually this is quite okay as a starting point. Next, I would love to have a bit more texture. So I'm going to use this slider. I'm going to use a generous value, a bit too much to be honest. But that way you can really see what's going on to the screen recording. We can zoom in and move from side to side to really see what's going on. We can add a lot more color by using this saturation slider as well. Take your time with it. No right or wrong edits, as long as you don't exaggerate, you're gonna be good to go. There's a bunch of other methods that we can apply, but I think I'm going to raise up the temperature so we can get that warm soft glow and ensure that's the power of Photoshop. Well, Camera Raw to be more specific, hit Okay, and have a look at the result. And just to show you a glimpse of the power of Photoshop, hit this icon that looks like the Yang Yang symbol that's at the bottom of the Layers panel. Now from this place, choose this option called hue and saturation. And now we can play with this slider here, and this changes the image quite a lot. Now, assuming that we're happy and you have all done, you want to export that, to do that, go to File and then Export, and then obviously finally, export, as my advice, choose PNG and now you're good to go. Now, obviously this wasn't a complete Photoshop tutorial. I actually have a complete course on that. I'm an Adobe certified instructor and an Adobe certified expert in Photoshop with a diploma and everything. But yeah, a short, you can use the power of Photoshop to really take your mid journey photos to the next level. Not to mention the fact that here you can add some text and really make it stand out, plus a whole lot of other things. Now my advice, invest in programs that have a future interests. Me. Photoshop still has a long, bright future. Mid journey will continue to improve, sure, but so will fold or sharp. And mid journey was never meant to replace for that workshop. As I said, these are two different worlds that actually work well together. Peanut butter is totally fine. But then when you add some jelly, you get a delicious sandwich. And that's Photoshop and mid journey together. Have fun with it. 15. Get the right aspect ratio: Welcome back. Getting the right aspect ratio is quite simple in mid journey and it's all a matter of adding a special command. And that's double hyphen AR space. And then something like 16 by nine. Ar is short for aspect ratio. So let's say that we want the bold straightforward though, right? Say a wallpaper for your phone. This means tall and thin. So nine by 16. The code for that would be something like, imagine red sports car, a hyphen, hyphen AR, space bar. That's quite important than nine by 16. Please be aware there's no space between the hyphen and AR, but there is a space here. And just like that, the photo is basically Awesome. So that's aspect ratio by default, mid journey gives you a one-to-one aspect ratio, which basically means a square image. You can make it tall and thin, like I just mentioned here. What do you could flip it and go for 16 by nine or three by two. Let's try that out. Keep in mind, I'm using my journey file here that allows for absolutely every single aspect ratio. The previous version only allowed squared ones, three by 2.2 by three. So quite limited choices. But now with this one, complete freedom. Now, here's something beginner struggled with. Say that you love this blue car version to the top right one, right? But you actually need it for your phone. So a different aspect ratio. Well, now you know the command plus we have remixed mode enabled. So this means that if we click on v2, we're going to get this pop-up. And indeed here it is. And we can see our commands is three by two. So we can simply replace those numbers, right? We can simply go nine by 16. So portrait mode, tall and thin. But here's the thing. Re-mix doesn't actually work well with aspect ratio. You saw that at the beginning of the course as well. When we tried to make the car from red to blue. Actually in this case, it will simply distort the image, and this is clearly not what we want. As you can see, this is not acceptable. This is a reminder that we're not dealing with any type of Superintelligence that understands exactly what we want. This is a very capable set of algorithms, but it's far from perfect. So what can you do if you want a different aspect ratio? Well, the easiest way and what I recommend is to start from scratch, start again with slash, imagine and put in the same prompt. Or better yet, we know that we can use the describe command. So we're going to hit U two and then save that image onto our computer. Then we're going to use the describe command and upload it. Now you're gonna get a prompt. And because we're using gray mixed mode, once again, you hit any of these versions and you can modify the aspect ratio. Still. It may not give you exactly the same style, but chances are you're gonna be close. And most of the time you're going to have to be happy with that. Again, mid journey is not perfect. So that's why I mentioned that the start, that this can be frustrating. You know what you want, you just need a small tweak, but that's small and it takes ages to get well, as you go through the course and breakfasts more and more, you'll be able to get better and better results. But for now, it's not gonna be perfect. You will have to accept that. Let's take a quick break. 16. Create beautiful patterns: Welcome back. One of the best things that you can do in mid journey that has loads of practical uses is to create patterns, seamless, repeatable patterns. These are great for the Etsy shops, for the shirts of all sorts, social media Bo's book covers, you name it. The magic command is double hyphen style. Let's try this out. Let's go with minimalistic fruit outline pattern, and then we're going to add the thiol command, just like that. Now, the great thing about it is that you can really get creative and use various things to get loads of results. Now, let's assume that we like one of these guys, say number two. Okay, Now we're going to have to download them, right? And as before, I think Photoshop is one of the best tools for the job, is just one of the many things it can do. Now, here's how you can easily use this pattern in any design. Once you have the photos saved on your computer, you have to open up Photoshop. It's quite important that you don't have any projects open. Drag the image inside that drag-and-drop or better yet, use Control 0, 0 for open, the next step is to go to the main menu to edit. Okay, from here, scroll all the way down until you see Define Pattern. And really it's that simple. You're gonna get a pop-up and this asks us for the name, but I'm just going to hit Okay. Now it's time to test it out and to see if it's really seamless, repeatable. Now to keep it simple, I'm going to start a new project with control and any settings will do. Next, I'm going to double-click this background layer in the layers panel. You can see the lock icon next to it. So that means that we need to unlock it. Now get here though gay, and now we can apply the pattern. This is how it goes one super simple way, use this icon that says fx from the bottom of the Layers panel from this new list, choose Pattern Overlay. We're gonna get a bunch of options here, but what we want is quite simple. Select the last entry from this window. The rest is set exactly like you see here. 100% opacity, normal blending mode, nothing special, but you could potentially change the angle in case you want to rotate that that may work well in certain cases. But yeah, really, it's that simple and indeed it's seamless. It looks great. And we can use it absolutely everywhere on any size. Now, let's go back to my journey and create another one. Let's go with something completely random. So colorful geometric pattern, right? By the way, the word pattern isn't mandatory, but it does help. Remember to add the thiol command. And let's wait and see what's up. Now, awesome patterns are quite tricky to find, but with my journey, It's no longer an issue. Okay, This one seems lovely. Let's download it and go through the motions once again. Remember, good the file on your computer. Then launch Photoshop and use Control 0 to open the pattern. Then go to the top menu to edit. Go near the bottom and look for Define pattern here that is L gate hit. Okay, and now we can use it. I'm going to make a new project. Once again, any settings will do, but this time around, I'm going to confine the pattern to a specific area. Get the rectangle tool, hotkey, you, you rectangle. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but that's been the shortcut, That's been the hotkey for the ages in Photoshop. Anyway, drag any random shape, any rectangle. Finally, we can click on the fx button and then apply a Pattern Overlay. And basically that's how you do it. This is one of the most powerful ways the user journey without giving it away. If you don't want people to know that you used an AI generator, this keeps you a secret safe and you can find loads of celebrities making merge with these types of patterns. Maybe add a bit of facts, inspirational or whatever. And all of a sudden you are creating something awesome, a clothing line or whatever, a personal brand. Good luck with it and show me you have patterns. I'd love to see some. Thank you. 17. Generate impressive anime art: Welcome back. Let's have a look at our settings. So we're both on the same page. The default is version five at the time of this recording, the best mode for realistic photos and beautiful imagery. But what if you're looking for the specific style will animate is actually built into my journey. Simply switch to need G5, that's NIJ F5, the latest one at the time of this recording. And you are going to be amazed. Let's write something like a cute girl walking in the rain holding a teddy bear with a warm sunset in the background. So this is fairly descriptive, but nothing too exaggerated. Now while this is being generated with the nice Zhe setting, let's switch back to MJ five years. You can actually do that. You don't have to let the job finished. And we can run multiple operations at once, three to be exact. So I'm just going to paste the same prompt. Absolutely nothing has changed except we switched from Nietzsche two mg, by the way, I'm not sure if you pronounce it Nietzsche or something else. Sorry for that. Okay, Now the results are incredibly different. You can see why this is best used for animate. Of course, it's also a great choice if you want to do fun animals stickers that are lifelike. There are loads of other cases. I feel like this is one of the best uses for the mid journey and for the AIR in general. Now, I'm going to go on a bit of a personal brand that has little to do with mid journey. So you may want to skip ahead. This is it. I'm not big on animate. I watched Sailor Moon when I was five or six. I grew up on Dragon Ball Z, the dubbed version. I really appreciate that Castlevania most recently or the One Punch Man. But, uh, yeah, I'm 100 per cent of Rookie. I have little knowledge of this world. But having said that, I've watched a few documentaries about what really goes on behind these enemies, about these artists. And they really work their hands off. They spend years perfecting their craft, and only the best ones make a decent living out of it. It's an incredible journey. This is where major knee comes in. And these artists can focus more on the storytelling side. This is how true artists can search for different style. So it looks to translate their thoughts and ideas into something real. And I believe that this type of art to generation will give us a better experience through better content. Go even deeper. I'm tired of seeing the same rebooted movies over and over just for the money. Now, I'm hopeful that truly creative people with original ideas can leverage these new technologies, including mid journey, so they can create stuff that would otherwise cost a fortune. Yeah, nice. G5 is great for the enemy and hopefully you can put it to good use to make something lovely. Especially like the cute characters that I can create based on animals. But yeah, the sky is the limit. Your imagination is the only limit. I really hope that we can all enjoy better content by using my journey. 18. Creating consistent characters: Welcome back. I wanted to address something that I've struggled with for quite awhile and you may be in the same situation and that's giving the same person to do multiple prompts. E.g. if you want to do a comic book or any type of situation where there is a person and you want to maintain that person's space characteristics. Right? Now, I've followed loads of guides and then I have options out there too, which you can kind of keep the same person, but not really. So I want to take this moment and say, if you're in love with a specific face, it's quite unlikely that you can generate loads of scenes with the same person in it. This is why most people tried to lower the quality. The face isn't really all that recognizable. Basically, you choose a style that omits details on purpose. Think about South Park, right? Stan and KaiA law, basically identical in terms of their face. The only thing that changes is their head and obviously that voice. Actually if you put the same hat on butters and slap on some gloves, it's the same character. Now storytelling doesn't actually need all of these intricate details. But back to mid journey, the platform doesn't have a memory, it doesn't remember things yet. Should that may change in the future. But as of now, no matter what techniques you apply, you won't be able to faithfully have the same person with specific facial features across multiple prompts. I thought I was doing something wrong because some people say it's doable, but in most cases, results aren't replicable. You may get lucky here and there. But as of now, there is no sure-fire way of saving a character and reusing it over and over again. Think about the girl sitting down, then have herb in the rain than have her in a city, than in a train and so on. It's really, really difficult to have the same person. Again, it looks similar. Sure, but it's not going to be the same person, so forth. Now, my advice is you scratch that off. It's much better to focus on the style itself rather than specific traits. Let's continue. 19. How to use the Stylize command: Welcome back. In this current version of my journey five, you can use stylize, change your results. This is done by adding a double hyphen S, then an empty space, then a number 0-1 thousand. Now when you read the official description of this parameter, things, I've been told that clear. So low values produce images that closely match the prompt, but they're less artistic. And high values create images that are very artistic, but they're less connected to the prom. Now, let's see what that means by way of examples. First of all, I'm going to type in slash settings so we can check what's up. We want to use MD5, but I also want to set this style to medium, which right now clear is the current suffix. Notice that right now we only have v5 here, which means this will automatically be added after every prompt. Now, if we choose styled very high, then we're going to immediately get S seven-fifths. Now, I want to be able to manually control that. So it's essential that we go for the med, which is short for medium. And if you go for the load, that's actually 50. So that's not okay. But let's say that you can't manage to clear this suffix. What now? No worries, there's a command for that. So typing slash suffix and you're going to get this command prefer suffix selected, but then we're going to leave it empty. That's going to clear it. Now, how do we know that's going to work? Well, it actually says so right here, suffix will add various parameters at the end of every prompt to save us time. But if you don't want any, just hit Enter, then you should get a message saying suffix is now removed, right? So let's reset it to v5 and no style by way of style medium. Now, I have two prompts. The first one is a cute girl walking in the rain holding a teddy bear with a warm sunset in the background. Okay, next I'm going to add s z though, 10030051750 n 1,000. I won't make you wait. So here are the results. So zero should give us less artistic results that match our description. Well, the pattern that I see here is that the girl is walking away. Better said We don't see her face. The background is also quite blurry. One-hundred brings in a bit more richness to the results, but the background is still blurry and the differences are quite small. 300 is where we get to see the face. We clearly see more details. We do have more details here. 500 is yet another small improvement, but it is an improvement. Same thing with 750. But note this, the girl is closer to us. Quite nice. And finally 1,000. Well, it's just better overall. Now, in this case 0-1 thousand, the results aren't really night and day stylize isn't really a grading system. The likes of four ATP 720 than ADP or whatever. You know, what a scorecard with 1,000 means in a while it then out of ten, It's just a different way to interpret the prompt. Now, let me show you the second prompt, which is isometric workspace of a designer, vibrant, colorful computer desk person. Now, this is going to help us a lot more. Now in this case, the z, S, z though, shows us a fairly simple basic result. This is something most people could design in Photoshop after some basic training. And the bit of willpower, 100 brings in a lot more detail, but the colors are still a bit too neon, light blue shout in your face. The shadows are quite crude. The sizing in one of these photos is off. Overall not that great. By the way, notice these lines here, that's a watermark. These lines are there to protect the photo from being stolen. This is a sign that mid journey is still using stock photos as a source of inspiration. And stock photos are not free. That's a bit tricky, maybe we'll discuss it later on. Moving on, 300 is starting to look great. This is where you should begin with. 300 is a solid starting point, especially this last one here. Now where as z though, maybe 10 min for someone to make. This one would take a couple of hours with an actual person to make it as 500 is a place where all fall options I've actually super solid. And 750 is a marginal improvement. But, um, yeah, by the way, those lines yet again, my grade, finally, 1000s seems to be a small upgrade, them as 500. The results are very likely what you're looking for. This command truly shines when you start having my along prompts with loads of details and the platform isn't giving you what you want. I typically keep my stylized setting on 750 because I'm not looking for literal stuff. I'm using my journey for the inspiration rather than a specific thing that I have in mind. 20. Test models and other settings: Welcome back. We've seen em J5. We've seen Nietzsche for the animated style. But what about these other models? Mj test and energy test photo? Well, in short, these are temporary versions that are going to give you a very different result. Let me run both of these with the previous prompt from above. As you recall, we were quite happy with anything from 300 upwards. Now, the trouble with these test models is that they're unpredictable. And even if you spend a lot of time figuring them out, they may change, they may get removed, and so on. More than that, they have several limitations. The aspect ratio is limited, e.g. it's either the square, one-to-one, three by two, or two by three. So that means you can't get wide photos. You can't get portrayed photos in the sense of having them tall and thin. So it's not great. When you look at the results. These are vastly different than the ones from MDG5 with different style values of light. Now, do they look nice? Yeah, I think they're decent, but I don't really recommend these tests models. And unless you just want to have fun and you want to explore various options and choices. As I said at the beginning, I'm approaching AIR as an investment into my future. Learning how to use these models is quite important, but we do need some predictability. E.g. mg six is just around the corner. But there's a very high chance that most of what's available in MJ F5 will still apply. Now for the test models, from what I understand, that may not be the case. Another limiting factor is the number of results. As you can see, we only get to rather than four. And that's what the stylized command, it ranges from 12, 52, 5,000. So my advice leave this at the very end of your learning. I'm addressing it right now because I'm sure they caught your attention. Moving on. You may start to get range anxiety because that's something that everybody goes through. If you've been working along and generating images, your resources might be going down. If you want to see how much you have left, you can use slash info. And that's really going to help. And you're going to see fast time remaining a certain number of minutes and the percentage. Now, do we care? No, we shouldn't know. We don't care about with it. And that actually brings us to relaxed mode. That's a setting here. When you get started, you're going to buy the smallest available back right now, then bucks that has a certain number of resources included. They're all in fast mode. Meaning is going to generate your results in no time at all. But here's the thing. Being at the front of the line has certain costs involved. But here's the thing. If you're not in a hurry. So relaxed mode, you actually get unlimited images. So once you burn through all those fast hours, you can still work, but you're going to need a bit more patients. And at this moment, I really do mean it's just a bit more patients. It's not a night and day difference in speed, but overall, it's noticeable. Now, to sum this up, if you don't want to feel that range anxiety, you're going to have to pay eventually for that $30 plan. Then you can switch to relax mode. The basic $10 per month plan does not give you relaxed mode. You can't switch to relax. Most of this means that you won't be able to get unlimited photos for the basic land. Now, could you potentially get more fast that was in the $10 per month plan? Actually, yes, you could raise some images and you might get some bonuses a few hours here and there. But my advice is you take the 10-dollar head, you use them all up when that happens, 234 weeks, then upgrade to the $30 plan and then go to relax mode. Here's the thing. After 23 months, you should be proficient. You should be great at it. I'd rather not spend any time on grinding away, getting small bonuses, just pay the price. Okay, What about the stealth mode? Well, this is available in the biggest gland at the time of this recording, that 60 bucks per month. And that's mainly for people who need privacy. Here's the thing. This may be great for adult content. It may be sensitive content. It may be worked for a company that doesn't know that you are using AI generators. Here's the thing. Even though we are in a private conversation in this gourd us with the bot. All your work is visible on mid journey.com. So if you need to keep things private for your work e.g. then you're going to need this stealth mode. My advice, there is no need for it unless you're working for the giant company making loads of money. And in that case, 60 bucks won't matter anyway. But yeah, most people get the 10-dollar of land, then eventually upgrade to the 31 and switch to relax mode, Unlimited Photos, and that's it. Now at the end of the day, I'm going to stick with the latest mainstream model, MD5, and that's what I suggest you do as well. Don't worry about these other ones because they are temporary. 21. Change the quality setting: Welcome back. Let's talk about the quality setting because it may actually fool you. First of all, let's use the settings command and come back to the T5 model and set the stylized function to very high. Next, we'll use a previous prompt just so we can do a comparison if needed. Right now, quality can be adjusted by adding cue from quality, and the standard is one. You can also do 0.5 or 0.25, but there's also two times, so double quality. Now the question is, does the maximum quality always give you better results? In short, for realistic photos? Yes. Let me show you the results of a series of prompts starting with a quarter quality. So 0.25. The prompt is a cute girl walking in the rain holding a teddy bear with a warm sunset in the background. These and now please note this, the empty spaces quite important. So these aren't all that great. They generate super-fast, and that's the only redeeming quality. If you can't really afford the $30 land, using lower-quality will save you some GPU hours. In short, 0.25 is obviously four times faster to generate and it only consumes a quarter of your minutes in terms of GPU Bauer, for realistic work, it's really not that great. So let's move on to 0.5. So half quality, this is quite decent. The results are respectable, usable. You can see a watermark in the first image, that's not great. The third one is quite good, though. The teddy bear seems to not have any legs, which is a bit weird overall, quite okay though. The regular quality standard stuff is lovely. In the image you can see how the rain is dripping from her jacket. Her hair is quite wavy. It has quite a few strands because it's wet. The teddy bear is also dripping. If you have a look at the bottom left side, this is actually great stuff. The third and fourth images of equally awesome. So this is what most people expect in terms of quality. And when you compare it to the 0.25 version, well, the difference is immense, but what about twice the quality? Does that give us sharp for K images? Actually, no, it's the same resolution and the sharpness of the image has more to do with your prompt. Still, if we look at the second image, the sun is shining in a way where the bear is glowing, and that's quite nice. The road has loads of details. The fourth image also has a lot going on in terms of its vibe. Now, is it twice as nice? Is it worth consuming your images? You have bullets twice as fast. I don't think so. It's maybe 20% better, maybe 30 per cent better. But most people use this double quality as a crutch for using not so great prompts to get better results, but they burn to do the GPU time to load data available resources. So my advice is you stick to the basic quality. So Q1, at least for realistic photos, having said that lack of detail is not really a problem if you have a style warrants it. E.g. I'm going to use the following prompt. Red car in the dark city with neon lights, manga style. Now, keep in mind, I'm using mg. Not Nietzsche style is set to 750 and I'm going to use half quality. The result is actually quite okay. This works well. And countless other situations where it may be okay to use half quality, a quarter. I don't think so, but half sure. Watercolor images, whimsical styles, kid friendly styles. Sure. Just look at the Simpsons, e.g. That's a super simple style that most people love. I'm just so we're clear, I'm going to use the same red car prompt set to one rather than 0.5. Let's compare these two and see what we get. Now in Q1, you're going to note this a bit more sharpness, more detail in the reflections. But I'm put this in another way. If this was part of a story in the comic book with whatever, Does this change in quality really make a difference from half to standard? I'm going to let you be the judge of that. But now you know that you can adjust your quality to this command. Just use q 0.51, or in rare situations, two times, two. 22. Use chaos to get what you want: Welcome back. Let's learn about the new parameter that can really help us get what we want, and that's chaos. Chaos can be used by adding a double hyphen, then an empty space, then a number 0-100. Now by default, this is set to z though. Let me show you an example. I'm going to use the following prompt in the latest version of mid journey with stylized set to very high. So this is where I'm going to use a beautiful beach with tropical trees and blue water. Because chaos ranges 0-100. I'm going to go for the 150. And then now here's how this works. If you use a very low chaos value, you're gonna get just about the same design, but with very slight changes. Notice the angle is just about the same. We have a tree in the top left side that sort of hanging low. We get the same bluish water in every one of these choices. In short, low chaos means you really know what you want. Your prompt is very, very good. You have a very clear idea about what you need. And basically you tell mid journey, hey, please follow my instructions closely. Now, jumping to chaos 100. So the maximum value, well, the results are quite different, vastly different. The water is sometimes blue, sometimes green, sometimes it's transparent. We get a hanging tree, but we do get multiple trees as well. The images have different approaches, the same prompt. This means that it's best to start your exploration with very high chaos values, then see what you're looking for. Now the way down. If you don't like any of these for the high chaos values, simply hit this button to get more options. Now, remember, that's the point of mid journey to explore various options and get your creative juices flowing. Now, can you choose the first option and be done with it? Yeah, sure, of course. But most of the time you want to have a relaxed approach. You want to try things out. And after you get a better idea of what you're doing, maybe after 345 versions, then you start refining it based on those versions, you're going to get closer and closer. But remember, you can also download any image and use the describe function, which should get you even closer to your goal. But I repeat, as you nailed the concept, use lower values or just keep it to the default, which is z though, when you're starting out, chaos 100 is probably best. I'm quite sure this is going to become the new default chaos 100, but we'll see about that anyway. Good luck with it. 23. Assign importance to words: Welcome back. Adding weight is quite important, especially in very long prompts. Before we get deep into it, Let's start out slow with using the latest MJ model with very high-quality. Now let's go with a simple prompt, sunflower towards and with using S seven-fifths. Now, as you would imagine, this is gonna give us the plant that gives us sunflower seeds. This is quite easy to get, right? But what if we want the flower in the sun? Of course, we could potentially rewrite the prompt and use more appropriate language exactly like I just said, it, a flower in the sun. Alright, but we could potentially try this. We can assign the level of importance by using a double colon. So I'm going to use someone and flower for. Now while this is rendering, Let me explain the numbers. There isn't a range per se, though most people use anywhere from minus five to plus five. And you can even do have values like -0.5. Now, another thing, you can use 1.4 like I did here, or you could use 150. And inorder example 1.4 means that the flower is four times as important as the Sun. 150 is the same thing as 21, so double the importance. So it's all relative. It's a comparison between the terms themselves. Looking at the result is quite clear that the flower was the star of the show. The Sun, little to none. Now let's flip this around and go for the sun with a weight of five and a flower with a weight of one. This doesn't always work, but I hope that you're going to get the point in these situations is quite easy to understand how it works, how it attribute's importance. Well, emphasizing the sun doesn't seem all that great, but it still follows our instructions. Let's do this again with cheesecake. First, the standard one. And then we're gonna do a two-to-one wait. First of all, we're going to favor the cheese and then we're going to favor the cake. Now, the results are going to be drastically different because mid journey follows our weights. The standard prompt is a beautiful desert, a cheesecake right? Now, when we emphasize cheese, well, we get a lot of cheese and just about no cake. And then when we focus on the cake, well, basically it's a cake made out of cheese. Weird stuff, but yeah, that's how it goes. Now, let's do something a bit more complicated. Let's imagine a girl running through a city being chased by aliens in a spaceship. The girl has a weight of five. The city, nothing, the aliens, three, the spaceship to. So we're looking for the girl to be the main star of the show. Hence, where it gets a five, aliens are next, so they give it three, then the spaceship only gets a boo. And finally the city 11 is the default. And the result is sort of okay. Now, as you add more and more characters, mid journey has a harder time generating something that you are looking for, especially when you have several character. But for now, this is our result. But let's flip this. Let's go with a girl to running through a city, nothing being chased by aliens to v. And then in a spaceship five. Now the spaceship is gonna be the main focus than aliens. Then finally, the girl. Keep in mind, there is a potential for the girl to not show up because most of the time mid journey does tend to value the first words in the prompt. Okay, fast-forward and well, the city isn't actually showing up. Maybe just a glimpse here and there. And that's because it's being assigned the default value. Because we requested an emphasis on the spaceship that takes up most of the design. Then the aliens, well, sort of, it's kind of tied together with spaceship. I might have expected something like real aliens as individuals, as characters, but that didn't work out. Let's flip this one final time. Let's go with aliens five, spaceship to the girl too. This should give us some aliens. As you can see, this is how you learn to use my journey. You experiment with different commands, parameters, prompts, a new inch your way for the web bit by bit, the more predictable this is gonna be. And yes, this gets us closer to aliens. But only just, of course we can always remix and try out a few more times, add a few more details. But I'm happy to show you have wins and half fails as well. This is a big part of my journey and even though I've spent loads of hours on several accounts, I still miss the mark from time-to-time. And I prefer to show you that not everything works. So this is word weight. Makes sure you triple check your spelling and always check the spacing. Otherwise, it's not going to work. Good luck with it. 24. Exclude words with this command: Welcome back. We've known about the word weights and how it can help us prioritize certain parts of the prompt. But what if you're constantly getting too much of something? The best approach would be to rewrite the prompt, e.g. in the aliens prompt, we might replace that with extra terrestrials or something like that because the spaceship is also alien, right? So that may be a confusing part for the mid journey. So rewriting may get you a bit of outcome, but here's another way to go about it, excluding certain concepts by using the no command. No. Basically no is the same thing as putting -0.5. So if you write the prompt, maybe feel the flowers without anything else. Just the regular MJ five classic engine and then S7 50, you're gonna get a bunch of flowers, of course, right? But what if you don't want the specific type of flowers? Well, to keep this easy-to-follow, I'm going to use no yellow weight the moment and you're gonna get exactly that. Now please be aware that if you don't use the double hyphen, you'll actually get a lot of yellow. Let me show you what that would look like. So this is one of those things that really require this practice. How you use these commands when you leave an empty space and when you don't, it's quite important. Always make sure you pay close attention to that. If the result is really unexpected, then you might have missed something, a space or something. But yeah, the correct one shows little to no yellow. You could revert to using digits. Flowers could be five and yellow might be minus five, just in case you really, really hate yellow. This is quite an extreme example because yellow is actually quite a common color in the field of flowers. This is why I used it. Now, please be aware that you can simply do minus five yellow because you need to balance it out. You need the prompt that is overall z though or positive. So that's why I use minus five and then plus five. And indeed, this gives us z though, yellow flowers, Absolutely none. Now how do we see this no command? Well, I think you should think about stereotypes, positive and negative ones. So if you think of Animalia and Japan, I don't know, you might get a lot of neon lights, right? If you think about barriers, you may get the Eiffel Tower. Now in certain situations, it's best to exclude the first thing that comes to mind, the stereotype, especially if you're looking for something that's original. Because think about that. Millions of people are using this platform. You don't want to be cheesy. You don't want to get something that everybody else is getting. E.g. unsplash.com is one of the most well-known sources of totally free photos. No strings attached, huge size, good-quality. Well, if you're looking for the woman in red smiling, chances are, you're gonna get this result and you may choose to use it. It really stands out. It's a nice photo, right? Well, most designers also thought the same way. So I've seen this girl countless times in countless websites, from thick the medical to AI to wherever it's overused, it just doesn't feel special anymore. And when you are the freelancing, clients usually want something tailor made for them, customer, especially for them. So if you go for the lowest hanging fruit, for the Eiffel Tower, for broad stereotypes. Well, you may give them angry client. You may want something special for them. So that's why you can use no. Now to recap, you can exclude words if you use double hyphen, NO, NO. You can add multiple ones as well. No Eiffel Tower, no river, nobody gets or whatever. Though I found that using multiple nodes sometimes gives me strange results. So use it wisely. There's also something to be said about your expectations. If you use a prompt that says mountains in the winter, you would naturally assume that there's gonna be some snow. Winter in snow go hand in hand. Well, if you simply use no snow, unfortunately because those concepts are so well tied together, you're still gonna get some. Remember, no is the same thing as -0.5. You want a realistic portrait, but then you say no eyes or no mouth. And while mid journey can create all sorts of monsters than things that basically don't exist. You will be confusing the platform if the main concept is clashing with the no command, it doesn't make sense. You want the close-up of a person, but then no phase, it doesn't make sense or no mouth or nose. Now, in general, what I like to do is I prefer to use weights by using digits e.g. mountains five in the winter, snow minus four. And that will totally remove the snow. But will you be able to tell that it's winter? Well, I don't think so. So let's do mountain five in the winter for snow minus four. If you want to work smarter, you could say all of them instead of winter. That should give you a closer result. What you're looking for, It's all about your vocabulary and how used to make Johnny you actually are. Now, let's check out the result. And yes, this is clearly when there is little to no snow, depending on how you interpret these images. Notice the results are quite different. But overall, if you want to exclude words, I think it's best to use digits rather than using the no command. Oh, but one very important uses this note text. And that's because mid journey has a very hard time rendering texts correctly. In short, it's gibberish. So adding no text is actually a great idea, especially if it's generating stuff like, I don't know, a map or a library or something like that, that will typically have words. So no text is actually great for the rest of them. Probably using digits may be a better choice. Okay, let's keep going. 25. Use your own photos: Welcome back. I wanted to show you a technique through which you can really have some fun. We're going to use our own images to create some interesting avatars. Keep in mind this is what having fun, it's not really aimed at creating a perfect replica of our face. So let me show you how this works. First of all, you find a nice image of yourself. I'm going to use this one. Then I'm going to drag it into this conversation with the mid journey bought. This is quite important because the photo needs to be somewhere on the web. Okay, now we can right-click it and we'll have a few options, but with only interested in this one copy link. Basically we now have a URL where this photo is hosted. Great. Next, the simplest command is this. We're going to go for the slash. Imagine, then we're going to paste that link. Now as a side note, you could also use a Dropbox link that ends in a one, not with a z though. Okay, next, we're going to add a few words. I'm going to go for random stuff. Let's use neon background, modern, creative, colorful, and I'm going to run it and two styles need G5. So Anime mode, then the MDG5 model. I'm going to show you the end results so we can save a bit of time. Now, the Nietzsche version as well, it's really out there. As I said at the beginning of this video, It's fun. It's playful. It's not really meant to be taken seriously. Now, this animated style is really going to be entertaining for those who appreciate this style in terms of resemblance. Well, I can't really say that I see when. Now going to the N j version, well, this is much more realistic. It's something you would expect to see in a Facebook announcement regarding the multiverse. But this is quite usable. Plus is sort that looks like me, sort of. Now can we take this to a different level? Sure, we can use multiple images to show my journey, how we really look. We can use a different chaos level and a different stylized value. But for now, I just want to keep it simple and let you have some fun with it. Please try it out for yourself and post the result. Remember, drag an image of u, then copy the link. Use the imagine command, paste the link, then add a few words. The main thing is you'd be relaxed with it and enjoy the process. Now, are we wasting our resources from the basic land now? Sure you could look at it that way, but right now, it's a matter of getting used to the platform. So get to work and I hope to see some of your own photos. Thank you. 26. Save a lot of time with this command: Welcome back. At one point, you are going to have a style in mind and you may want to follow it. You may want to apply it several times. You might have seen something that really looks nice in the showcase section. And obviously that stood out then you want to remember it, right? You maybe did some tests and then you found something that actually clicks. Awesome, right? So this may be certain words like eight K, vibrant, creative. These are just random examples. The other hand, you may have found a different style for a different project that includes keywords like realistic, bouquet, portrayed, pose, and so on. Well, here's the thing. You don't actually have to remember them. That's right. You can actually create some presets and then you can save them into mid journey kills. Have this works. First of all, bipeds slash prefer, you're gonna get a list, but we're looking for this one. Briefer options set. You could use your arrows and tab and then there, but I'm going to use my mouse so you can easily follow along and you can see where I'm clicking. Immediately. You're going to see this option. Then plus one more, which isn't all that intuitive. It doesn't seem all that simple. But just a moment, Let's stay here for a second. So above, you can see that I have quite a few options that I previously saved. Now, you won't have any of these on your end, but no worries, I'm going to show you what's what. So click here next to option, and this is where your cursor should blank. I'm going to call this one crest e.g. right. Now, you will see some type of warning here that says, no options match your search. Another problem that's fine. We're creating a new one. Next, please click here exactly above plus one more. That will change the part that's above. And we're going to have a single choice value. Awesome, that's good. Please click on it. And now this is where we can save our command, e.g. let's say if I don't know, eight K vibrant and then colorful, right? This is a basic example, but you can make this list as long as you want. And you know what? I also want my designs in portrait mode. So let's add the double hyphen and then AR nine by 16. Make sure you check those empty spaces. Okay, so let's backup. So we're saving a preset that's called cress. And then when we use crest, my journey will automatically add these terms right here. But also the parameters. Actually, let me change the quality to 0.5. So that's double hyphen Q than an empty space. Then 0.5, just something get random, you can use whatever you want. Let's hit Enter and this should be good to go. We can actually see a success message. So we have all set. This is how we use it. Type slash imagine as usual, and then let's write anything, the actual prompt. Let's go with something super basic like, I don't know, a cute cat in Paris. And then at the end of it, I'm going to add the double hyphen, then Cress. Okay, hit Enter and we're going to have to wait. Now, initially this is going to show you Chris, V5 and 75th might default. But I'm going to start generating the image. You're going to see that Chris will be replaced with all the preset. That's eight K vibrant, colorful, the aspect ratio and the quality setting. So as you can imagine, this is fantastic because after we've explored loads of descriptions and parameters, we can simply say the best ones. And as you can see, this works well. Okay, let's do it again. So type n slash prefer, and from this list, choose the one that says options set. The first thing that you have to do is name the name the preset. It's not a great idea to call them crests or just some random words, you should choose a descriptive name so you can actually remember it. E.g. realistic portrayed. By the way, please don't use multiple words with an empty space because you're gonna get an error, at least for now. If you really want multiple words, use a hyphen between them. I'm going to keep it simple, so a single word. So let's go with portrayed. Then click Next wet above plus one more from the top, click on value. And now we can type in our custom description and even parameters. I'm gonna go with, again at random, realistic close-up studio photography. Though again, you could make it as long as you want. That's the actual value here. And then at the end, I'm gonna go with wide aspect ratio. So that's gonna be AR 16 by nine. Awesome. Now hit Enter and you're going to have it saved. Okay, Now let's use it. Let's go with the slash. Imagine a cute girl in London, e.g. and then before we hit Enter, we're going to use double hyphen portrayed. We just save that. Now, remember initially it may look like it's not working, but at this portrayed part will soon be replaced by our preset. You just need a bit of patients. And this is really going to open up our schedule. You can have a style for the comic book that you're working on, something realistic for your work, and maybe something super cute to show off to some kids in your family. You had something like that. And as you can see, the realistic close-up shot is beautiful. It works well. One final time, please. Slash prefer option set. Let's call this one victory. We're going to click on the value. And then we're going to put in, I don't know, her glory, American flag. And then eight gave for the example. And then we can also change the aspect ratio to portrait mode. Maybe it's for the wallpaper phone. So AR nine by 16. Okay. Enter and let's try it out some Americana for us. So let's go with a slash. Imagine, let's go with a car in New York. Then we'll add victory. I have no idea how this is going to turn out, but hey, we're having fun. Okay, this is interesting. It's a bit unexpected, but yeah, it gets the point across. This is how presets work. Try it out and let me know what styles you saved up on your end anywhere. 3-5 is best in my book, but remember, descriptive terms. Have fun with it. 27. Here’s how you adjust your presets: Welcome back. We've seen that we can save some presets by using slash prefer option set. And that's a great way to really save some time and not have to remember all those specific words that give you a specific style. You may be excited about it, and you may end up with quite a bit of a list. You might have, say too many. Now first of all, how can you see what you've saved? Well, you can use this command that's called prefer option list. So instead of set with choosing list, and that actually makes quite a lot of sense here of all my choices and what they mean. Please be aware that when you name your preset, you won't have to add the double hyphen, just the name. You can see that here. These are very simple names like Victory portrayed, press whatever. So no double hyphen. That's something to note. Now again, the command is prefer option list, list. That makes sense. Now, if you want to remove some of them, Let's go ahead and do that. E.g. let's remove the last one called Victory. Well, it's quite easy. Type n slash prefer options set. Then you're going to get your list of choices. By the way, this is another way to check out your presets, though you will know what they contain. But from here I'm going to choose victory because that's the one I want to remove. Now you may choose to use tab and enter, but I'm going to stick with my mouse clicks for now. Okay, we can't have an empty value here. So that's not how you actually delete that. Actually you can try the head and there is going to give you an error if you remove the value part by using backspace, just like that. Now you can hit Enter and you're going to remove it. And that's basically how you delete a preset. Let's do it again. So type n slash prefer options set, and let's choose another one from this list. Let's go with portrayed. And if you don't want to mess about, don't click on value. Instead, just hit Enter. And just like that, you've removed another preset. So it's actually quite easy. Let's do one more. But this time we're going to edit one of them, e.g. Chris, we can see the aspect ratio right here, but let's say that we want to flip it, okay? So let's do it. Refer options set, then choose Crest. And you'll notice that it doesn't show the value of the preset, whether it contains, but we do have it above by using the command prefer option list. So I can copy this part and then I can paste it down here inside value. Hit Enter, and now we're good to go. We've flipped the aspect ratio. I've made the small change, but of course you can edit the entire thing. So that's how you can use these presets to your advantage. Create a few of them and always keep your list nice and clean. Have fun with it. 28. What's next?: Welcome back. You got to the end of the course, but we're not finished. First of all, I'm gonna do my best to keep all the lectures updated. I'm going to add more features as they roll out. But what I want from you is to keep using my journey and learning mode, not the finished deadlines, not to get very super specific images that you have in your mind. No, please focus on getting used to it. You are very familiar with all the commands with chaos, word waste, quality, and so on. So you can begin to predict what animate mode will give you versus the regular mode. Remember, it's not about making money right now. It's about being at the front of the line. When companies are going to start hiring for mid journey, having good on your resume will count a lot being in so early on. So my advice is you think medium to long term, that's what's going to help you get ahead. Another friendly advice, please learn Photoshop, Adobe Photoshop. And not because I have a course on that, but it's because my journey and Photoshop work so well together. You can take your results from mid journey to the next level. That's why I think you should invest your time and energy into future proof tools. Thank you for sticking with me until the end of the course and please write a review. I would really appreciate that. Thanks again. This is Chris signing out.
