Discord is the main software you will use to interact with Midjourney Ai. And on the website of Midjourney, you will find a lot of useful information, inspiration, and of course, your subscription. So you can choose the one that best fits your needs without losing any more time. Let's go on my computer and I will show you how to add Midjourney to your server. So we are on my computer and this is the website of these chord. From here, you can create your account and start your journey to the discovery of Midjourney. I'm already logged with a new account. So I can show you how to do the basic operation to use Midjourney inside your server. You can open this card. That's the interface of your server. When you create your account, you will have to create your first server. To do it, you can add a new server, create a personalized server, you and your friends. Thus, the name of the server does, you can upload your images, you can configure it as you wish. And then when you eat create, you will add your private server where you can practice with Midjourney, with com, without anyone looking at your images. These are the basics of a server. There is a channel that is tests Text1. Here you can write and communicate with other people and more important with other boats. In this case, we will add that the boat of Midjourney that will allow you to create your images. As you can see when you eat, enter, you write in this chart with other people that join your server, there is even the bulk of channels to, but what we lose for me journey is the test will channel Premier. You can click this arrow button and go to up least from here, you can look for Midjourney bought the and of course E, enter. And so this is the boat and you can add to your server this case that are already 6.8 million server that using Midjourney bought. Yeah, We Are. You can add to your server. Of course, you have to keep the permission to join your server. Just keep everything as it is, an outer eyes. So now, after you verify your a human, you can go on your server. And as you can see here, there is the Midjourney bought. To start creating your images. What you just have to do is to eat slash and right, imagine that's the common to start generating images. Of course, we can do a trial, but now it's no more possible to have the free trial of Midjourney. You have to start directly with the basic subscriptions. Shy. When you launch the first time, a prompter, you will get this message. Of course, as I told you, you need to add the subscription to start creating your images from an age account. It will go on Midjourney and year. You will find the different plan that you can buy. In this case. Here, I'm logged with my personal counter. As you can see, er, we have different gland. In this case is the standard plan with 15 hour of fast Generation included. Which are the difference between the different account. Basically, for almost all the people, there is a basic plan that costs ten bucks each month that gives you almost 200 generations per month. Of course you have the commercial terms, so you can use your images for your business and you can access to the member Gallery. If you want to come by more credits. The standard plan gives you much more time. For fast generic thing. Your images. You have 15, our You can create a limited images using the relaxed mode and we will see in the settings lesson, what does this mean? You have the general terms and of course you can access to other members Gallery than there are some more specific plan for business use with much more hours and other benefits. Here, if you click on the home, you will see your account with all the images you created with Midjourney. You can look for all the images, the greets and upscale. All will show all the image you requested on Midjourney, both with the greets, the upscale, and the result of Your Images. If you look for greets, which show you just the four images for each request you sent on Midjourney. And upscale will show you just the images you decided to upscale. So to have at the maximum detail and dimension from Midjourney, as you can see, I've already done almost 10,000 jobs, more or less 40,000 images with Midjourney. Here you can explore the community feed where there are all the best images created by other users. This is very important because here you can find some crazy good images, some interesting prompt. You can find inspiration for your image. You can click on any of this image and you will see the prompt. You would see all the information. And of course, you will see all the image created with a similar. So these could be interesting to discover variation and other possibilities from a subject you choose with these three dots. You can do a lot of operation. You can copy. Full command will copy the prompt and the parameter prompt. We copy just the prompt and job by D will copy the jump it every request, every message you create with human journey, as it's shown, sharp ID. Then when you are on your image, you can open them in this quarter. And of course, you can follow the user. You can see all the image it create. So this is very important to find always new style, new keywords, new inspiration to get better in creating images. And really there are amazing, amazing imagists from Elpenor FARC. You will find the documentation of Midjourney year with a quick start guide. You can really find all the information you need to start creating beautiful images with Midjourney. So this is very important at the beginning to understand all the basic information. Settings will allow to change the layout of your alma. Giving different space to the image. You can change the cover. You can create some folder for images that are really a lot of things you can do with Midjourney to personalize your experience from here, if you sign out, you will go back to the on page of the website. And this is something very important you can do to get more deeper in the Midjourney's war. You can join the beta. This is the invitation for Midjourney cerebellum. As you can see, there is almost 1 million and ALS or line now and almost 14 million members on the server. You can accept the mutation and now you will join the Midjourney set. But this is very interesting because er, you can find a lot of amazing images to learn about. Creating prompt. You can find different channel with demotic information. Getting started is the Basic to start creating your images. Rules. Of course, there are the rules to not be key get from the server. The newbie channels are the channels where people that is starting using Midjourney can do some tests. Here is interesting because you can see a lot of people trying, doing images. But the problem is that is very crowd, so it can be a little bit messy to create images here for this reason, Hi, make you add the bot on your private servers so you can experiment without any complication, any distraction. Anyway, from here, you will see a lot of different channels where there are informations about how to creating prompter, about the discussion about different topics. There are chat about creating prompt the day litem, where people send image related to the dam that is now is reserved. So this is very full of interesting things. Let's change to my regular account because it's time to start creating amazing images. So in this lesson, I've show you how to use their website or Midjourney to get the most out of it. And I show you the intraoperative phase of the skirt and how to add the bottom of Midjourney to your server. I show you how to find the best subscription for your needs. And of course, we are ready to start creating amazing images. In the next lesson, I will guide you to create your first images with some basic prompt. So see you in the next lesson. 4. Create your First Images: Hi, and welcome to an incredible lesson. Now we start creating something beautiful. I've prepared some basic prompt to help you getting started with the interface and start creating your first images without losing any more time. Let's go on my computer and start creating something beautiful. Okay. So we're on this call at DZs, my Midjourney bought to where I create images, I will guide you in this lesson on how to create your first artwork. So to create an image, what you need is a prompt. A prompt can be, a phrase, can be award, can be an emoji is the information that describes the image you want me journey to create. Hype selected some base prompted that we will use to create some beautiful images together. So the first one, It's a beautiful sailboat on ocher at sunset watercolor style. So generally to start creating your images, you are too bright. Slash imagine, and then write your prompt or pass your prompt. In this case, the prompt is been with the subject. A very basic idea, a beautiful sailboat on an ocean at sunset. And then there is a characteristic style added to the prompt to tell me journey to create this particular image. Of course, you can create a watercolor image like it was a painting. You can create a Photography. You can create many different style and type of images. Okay, so let's run it. Enter and that Midjourney will start creating your image. Let's take the second one, a huge lion in the lighter. Again, imagine a huge lion in the light and eat. Enter. The third one, we will muddy stick leaving roomy interior in natural color. Here we are. Imagine your ties and the last one, the class. A Victorian lady. So as you can see, midjourney is working. How beautiful are these image created with a basic prompt? You can just open in the browser and it will lobar in a new tab. But these amazing images, that's the lion. Look, how beautiful is this lion? They're all amazing. Every time you run a prompt, you will receive four different images. So DC, stay interior. Look how amazing this is really something that could be an interior photography like the one you see on a magazine. And now is arriving the fourth request. Yeah, we are. Look how beautiful are these Victorian lady really, midjourney is amazing in creating images, even with some basic prompt. So now, let's begin with the first. Much. As you can see, now, we have four different images in the same threads. To have the singular images, what you can do is to click on the left button of your mouse and react to these image with the envelope. And when you react to the image with envelope, Midjourney will send you the four different separate images. As you can see now, we have four different images, not just one grieved. So you can see. So as you can see, these are the four different images. From here. You can just drag and drop the image on your computer to have the highest resolution available at the moment in factor. Now, the image you create with Midjourney is already at the biggest sites. In the future, there will be more different render in Jain so you can eat the number beside any of your image to upscale To get a better and more detailed version of the image. Or you can eat the be to create some variation. In this case, let's try to upscale the four. Of course, this is the first, the second, the third, the fourth. So let's upscale these and let's ask variation of the first. This way. Okay, Now, er, you can Remix the prompt. Now we will do, we will not do anything. We'll see in the next lesson, how works the Remix Mode. So this is our up-scaled image premiere. There are a lot of things you can do that are very interesting. You can ask for variation, strong or sub tone. So Midjourney will create for more images with different strength in variation depending on the selection. If you eat very strong, it will create more different variation of this image. If you, It's very subtotal, it will create for variation that are all similar. Then these are the baton for the zoom-out feature and the Pan features than we see in one of the next lesson. So for the moment, we will not eat that button. Yeah, we are. So these are the variation in this case. As you can see, these are the strong variation. And all the four boats are indifferent position. In this case, this one is pointing to left, the, this one is pointing to right, this one, it's ordinate. So every image is different. Instead, DZs, the subtle variation, as you can see, the boat, It's almost in the same position. There are different position of the sun. There are just more adjustment is that this is the strong variation. And as you can see, the four image are much more different than in the subdural variation. So these are the two different main way you can create variation inside Midjourney. Let's do the same with a lion. As you can see, these are all amazing. We can click and react, eating the envelope. And then we will upscale the third because it's really inefficient. Yeah, We are, these are the, these are the four different images. Beautiful. And this is the upscaled, really disease. Incredible. Look, how beautiful is our lion in the light. Let's close this one. Let's do the same with our interior. And with our Lady. Look, how beautiful are these girl? Looks like, really some Victorian woman. Here. We can ask for variation of the one. And of course, we can ask for the upscale of the second one. Look how beautiful is our lady. From here, we can ask strong palliation. And we will see if Midjourney, we keep our subject or it will change our lady. With strong variation. Probably we will have a different subject with SAP told variation, we will have probably just minor adjustment and changing in the lady. Let's see. Of course, you can start practicing with some simple prompt, like one I've show you. It's important to get comfortable with the basic. And then you will add all the complexity with the different parameters, different style, different keywords. So as you can see, all the four image are really interesting and beautiful, but are different because here we ask it for strong variation. Instead, this is the subdural palliation. As close this. So as you can see, all these four image at the same model, more or less There are amino change in the dress, in the heart in the expression, this one as, as very small dot on the face. They are way more similar than with strong variation. Here, of course, the model are similar but different. They are different. Hair, different dresses, different baz. So if you want to just add some minor change in your image, you can eat for subdural. But if you want to create something more different, you can go with strong variation. Now, I want to show you a website that's the address, prompt mania.com, MIDJOURNEY prompt builder. That is really a super powerful tool to help you getting started that kickstart your discovery of keywords and style. Because er, there are so many information that can help you. At the beginning, you can just create your prompt inside the diese Software. As you can see here, you can add your first subject, the base of your prompt. We can copy the classic portrait of a Victorian lady. And we can bust here leaving just classic portrait of a Victorian lady. Now, This gets really interesting. You can add some details here. There are a lot of keywords that will change dramatically the outcome of your image. At medium are the different medium that your image could be presented on. It can be a drawing. And these are all the different types of drawing that can be use inside Midjourney. We can click on storybook illustration and as you can see, it will be added to the chain of your prompt. Here it is. But of course, you can add other information like lighting. There are different type of illumination for your image. Like we can add the rim lighting has you can see it has been added to your prompt. And so on. Really here, you can find so many possibilities for getting inspiration in the creation of Your Images. We can add different shape. You cannot different resolution information about the frame for the image you can add. Are there different material? Really, there are endless possibility. And then another really interesting possibilities is the addition of the style of a particular painter, illustrator, comic designer. We journey knows how to mimic the style of these great artists. Like we can use Frank thread. And as you can see, it will be your prompt, like a professional prompt designer. Now you can copy it and bust inside Midjourney. And you will see the difference between this request, the UN, our original. Let's run this prompt. What we will expect to see is cyber threat of hypotonia lady by friends for data with the style of these artists. And we can look for it on Google rank. And of course it will be a storybook illustration. So this is the style of this amazing artist. It's a fantasy at this for water can see with this powerful characters. But of course, there is to the information about storybook illustration that will change the outcome. As you can see, the create some amazing images with style similar to the one of these great artist. We can. And the single images look how beautiful they are and look how much different they from the base prompt. We ask it. In particular, this one, remind me a lot, the style of France, France ETA. Look. The use of color, of lighting. There are amazing opportunities with Midjourney. You can just create something beautiful and release your imagination. Amazing. Betty wet, in this lesson, you create your first images using basic prompt. Midjourney is very powerful, but you have to learn how to speak to me ensured using keywords, using style. And in this lesson, a show you an incredible resource where to find a lot of inspiration and of course to understand and learn how to create complex prompt. In the next lesson, we will see how to Setup probably Midjourney through the Basic Settings and of course, how to get the most out of your subscription. See you in the next lesson. 5. Overview Midjourney's Basic Settings: Hi, and welcome to another important lesson. Today, we will see that Basic Setting of Midjourney, there are many different options and I will guide you through the most important settings so you can set up properly, you are Midjourney for the creation of Your Images. So without losing any more time, Let's go on my computer and see how to set up properly your Midjourney. So we are on my computer. This is the Midjourney bought leuko. Amazing Are these images I created just a few minutes ago. And now let's see how to Setup correctly Midjourney. To enter the setting, you have to write slash Settings. And this will load the Settings interface. First of all, here you can choose the model. This is by default the model used. It's the latest one, Midjourney be five-point shoe. But of course, you can choose between all the different and previous model. The first 12.3 version of Midjourney, way more primitive, but Creative. Instead from the model. Before, we shift that towards a more realistic and photographic realization of images. Of course, the quality is higher in the days Midjourney, understand much better your prompt. And from the v5, we all must solve the problem of else. So with the latest model, most of the times ends have five fingers and are not alien. Hence, I suggest you to use the latest model, but if you want to try something different, MME see some more clarity. And artistic image is a magic images. You can try the previous model need GEE, model is the model that is draining to create anaemia, to create comic, create cartoon. So if you want to create something in this style, you have to select this model. By default. The model is it a Midjourney be 5.2. Here we have the row Mode. Remote is the mode that allo you to have. Less polish it images because we, the latest model from the 5.1 and V5 point to Midjourney tend to create more edited style images, more editorial, more post-process it with bright colors, with high contrast. If you use the row Mode, you will have some images. Especially if you are grading Photography that will be closer to images like Photography straight out of the camera without any postproduction, any photographic effect applied. Then we have this stylized, that is how Midjourney interpret your prompt. A very is stylized value. We Gibbs Midjourney. More freedom in the interpretation of Your Images. Why? Skylights low value will fourths Midjourney to create images more related to your prompt. So if you are Midjourney to create some creative images, you have to choose NIR, skylights value if you want Midjourney to be more strictly link in the creation of images to your prompt, you have to choose a low value. The value goes 50-1 thousand. You can choose in the Settings. And this style will be applied to all the image by default. Or you cannot dash, dash S and the number. You want to use. This parameter to apply to the single prompt. Stylized slow is 50. Skylights, medium is not indicated, but it's 100. By default. Stylized I is 250 and stylized very Ai is 750 and above 1,000. So let me leave to stylize medium. Then you have public Mode is not possible to disable these Mode or less, you have the very highest tier in the subscription plan. And basically, it says that all your image are going to be publicly shown on your profile page so people can see your prompt, can see your image. If you disable the published Mode, the image will be shown just to you. And this could be useful maybe for big company, big businesses Because it's really expensive to have the possibility to enable the stealth mode, Remix Mode, you can enable just clicking and when it's green, it's enabled. It's Mode that allow you to change the prompt of your image. When you do variation, where you do some other function inside Midjourney. And I will show you in the lesson on the Remix Mode how to use it to totally change your image and transform the results of your requests. Then we have these parameter, that is for variation Mode. So hi variation Mode. When you ask for a variation of one of your image, it will create four different variations, very different between them. Instead, with low variation Mode, you will have just subdural change in the image. You ask it for the variation and si, show you in the previous lesson. This is very important because with these different approach, you can have some more creative idea for variation or some more subtle variation if there is just something you want to fix or change, turbo mode is a new Mode. Allow you to spend twice the cost of fast our to generate your images very quickly. So we turbo mode, you will have a priority on the duration of the image, so it will take less fast mode is the default mode that is enabled for basic and standard plan and generate image using your 5 h. So depending on your plan, you will have 200 min or 15 h. Relaxed mode is solely available for standard subscriber and allow you to create images without priority. So they are opposite of turbo mode, but you will not bar fast our, so we, in this relaxed mode, you can create almost infinite images. But of course, it will take the little longer to complete the job. Anyway, you can always switch back typing slash fast. Now, just look on our change the images when you change the stylized Settings. So let's set skylights very high and read all our problem. Now, let's do it with skylights low and railroad. Our row. Let's see the difference between the two different edge of these Arrange. And now let's try to create the same prompt apart. We different model, starting with the disease with very high skylights value, and this is with the lowest halides value. The outcome is completely different. In trying to create the same prompt, but with the different version of Midjourney. So I can show you how much difference there is between the early model and the latest one. This is the five-point shoe. Be for that as you can see, is there clarity? This is the need G Mode. And this is the P three. That is very artistic. But of course, we, as the day and quality in the image shoes need two more. It's really amazing. Can create amazing images. The before is very artistic and sometimes really can create images that are marble. Great. In this lesson, you'll learn how to Setup correctly Midjourney so you add ready to create something unique. In the next lesson, we will start our journey through the different functions of Midjourney. So you can level up the way you create your images. See you in the next lesson. 6. Transform Your images with Remix Mode: Hi, and welcome to this amazing lesson. Today, we will start our journey through the functions of Midjourney, and I will show you how to use the Remix Mode that allow you to modify and transform your image step-by-step. So let's go my computer and see how it works, the Remix Mode. So we are inside this curve on the Midjourney both. And now we will see how to use the Remix Mode to change your image. First of all, let's go the settings and see if it's enabled. If it's not enabled, you can enable here from the Settings. Okay, now let's create our image. We will use one of the prompt to use for the previous lesson. So beautiful sailboat or notion a sunset, what are called side. But now let's change and add some other information. Let change and put Photography of beautiful seed but, or Notion or sets it. Let's run. We can close this. So now we will generate our image. And then with the Remix Mode, we will change details inside the variations. Because Remix Mode allow you to edit the prompt before creating the variation. Here we are. So look how beautiful is our image. We can ask for the single images. Look what amazing Are these images. So let's take the first one and ask for variation. So we're going to click on V1. And now, as you can see, we have the possibility to change the prompt. And in this case, we will write pained, think of a beautiful set both at ocean, at sunset. So we are telling me journey that for the variation, she will have to create some paintings. Not Photography, but painting. And maybe we cannot. Abstract painting of beautiful, say both ocean. Let's see. We are, as you can see, each shift that the creation of the image with the new information, we can just send them. Yeah. So now there is the feelings of a painting. There is something of abstract in these, with the shape of all the elements in the image. Here we are. Let's sober. Look how amazing Are these boat I really loved the second and third. So let's create some variation. And since we have enabled the Remix Mode, now we can change the problem. We can ask for a painting in the style of for Dory small. So we asked Midjourney to completely change our image divided, creating some variation of this image, but as a painting and in the style of food erythema. So we Remix Mode, we can change the prompt and forths Midjourney to create variation with different style. Look how beautiful. This is very cool. This one tool. Now we can repeat this process, maybe with the dirt asking me journey to create a painting of a beautiful, maybe beautiful I playing on the ocean at sunset in the style of photorealism. So now with these new Remix, we ask it to change the subject of our image. Of course, this is a process that should be done gradually changing septal details. Each Remix after Remix. For dramatic change is better if you, of course, launch again the prompt. But if you want to do some adjustment, change, maybe some details, some more elements in the image. You can do with the Remix Mode. And here we are. So now we journey is starting to change the image and the subject of our painting. It's NIH plane. Of course, it's a gradual process. So there are still some element of the boat in this image. But of course, you can get really incredible creative with this powerful tool. This is amazing. I like this one. Look how beautiful it is. In this lesson, you'll learn how to activate the Remix Mode, how it works. And now you can really use it to change your images to get something unique. In the next lesson, we'll see how to use the Aspect ratio to change the way Midjourney January, Your Images see you in the next lesson. 7. Modify the format of Your Images: Hi and welcome to this incredible lesson today, we will see how to transport them, Your images from square to different sides. In fact, you can create vertical and horizontal images using the Aspect Ratio parameter. Let's go on my computer and see how to modify the format of Your images with the Aspect Ratio. So again, in the Midjourney, but first of all, let's start creating a new image. Imagine. Now I have another interesting new prompt for you. Photography of a coy fish in it then bond, Let's run. So now you're asking Midjourney to create the Photography of coefficient in a pond. But in this way, we will ebook just square images to change an M, different images. What you can do, you have to add at the end of the prompt the dash, dash a R, that means Aspect Ratio. And then you cannot the aspect ratio you want for your image. It can be three by Chu and Midjourney with create an image that is in the form of standard Photography. The same. Now we can ask 4.16 nine to have more cinematic widescreen image like the standard for movie and television. You can even asked for a very wide strip for your image to one. As you can see, now, midjourney is creating no more square images, but the different format. This is the format for Photography. Look how beautiful artists, coy fish. This is the 16 by nine. It is quite more cinematic. Beautiful. Yeah, we are this the tube by one. You can experiment and play with different format. Of course, if you use the opposite, you will create vertical images. In this case, slash. Imagine. We have to add 23916 and we will have vertical images. What is very important to keep in mind that changing the format of your image, we change the results. Midjourney will adjust the subject of your image depending on the format. So probably with wider resolution, it will be possible for me journey to insert more elements, more vicious. That's the vertical one and S, you can see it change the perspective depending on the format. By the way, they are all really beautiful. Let's cell deaths them singularly. This is amazing. In this case, as you can see, there is a watermark. Sometimes when generate images Midjourney at these wave watermark that you can remove with Photoshop BI and in my class about Photoshop pi show you how to remove. These are bucks on how wanted elements or watermarks. Let's try another prompt, birthdate of a young Arctic kinematic Ink drop. Ai. So you ask me journey to create the portrait of a young artist, cinematic in could drop style. Let's add the format AR. To look how amazing Are these images. These are the square. That's the vertical called Beautiful. So what is he really important to understand is that format change the way Midjourney create our subject. In this case, since we are asking for a birth rate, the vertical format, we show all the phase, all the part of our subject. Instead, the orange zone tan one will be much more as close up. So Midjourney change the outcome depending on the format you ask for. The wider your image you will ask her, the closer it will be the subject to our image. So we will have a close up. Instead with the vertical one, you will have all the face of our subject. It's interesting to play with the format to find the perfect one for your subject. Look how beautiful are these in the Photography format? That all amazing. Look. This is really astonishing with these bite format, like wide strip. Look how powerful it stays image. These want to. Okay, So in this lesson, I'd show you how to use, at best the function er, to create different images from the square format a really, you can create any different Aspect Ratio and type of images. Keeping in mind that the format you choose for your image will impact on your subject. In the next lesson, I will teach you how to use at best, the pan and zoom function. That is really the most powerful and creative tool you are at this moment available inside Midjourney to create some unique, really a promise that the next lesson will blow your mind because you will add an incredible powerful tool to shape your imagination and share with other people. See you in the next lesson 8. Create Unique Artworks with Zoom & Pan: Hi, and welcome to this mind-blowing lesson. Today, we will learn how to use the pan and zoom function to really transport your images and create Unique Artworks. Really, the possibilities are endless and I will show you how to get the most out of these function without losing any more time. Let's go my computer and start zooming out your images. Okay, So we are on Midjourney, but, and to date, we will see something amazing. So let's begin with a new image. And in this case, we will use the prompt from the previous lesson. Photography of a coefficient in its N-H bond, dash, dash AR, tree, chew. So we want an image of our coefficient. Then we will add some crazy stuff for with the pan and zoom. For this lesson, I prepare for different use cases that really will blow your mind because there are endless possibility that you can really experiment and play with. So these are our fish. How beautiful they are. I really loved the second one. To use the Zoom&amp Pan function, you have to upscale your image. So let's upscale the second one. Yeah, we are here now as you can see, we have some new button that are the baton for this function zooming out, we'll shrink our image by two and Midjourney will create what's around our image. We don't have any kind of influence on these degeneration protests because when we clicked, just run the zooming out function. Of course, if you zoom out 1.5, that will be less reduction of the central image. That will be less Zoom out. Let's imagine that Midjourney brings the camera backwards and cap to what surround our subject. Gaston Zoom will allow you to create something magic. And we will see in few moments how you can use this button. Make square will create the a square from the image. It will create what surrounds to make it square. Yeah, we are. As you can see, Midjourney took our original image and create all what's around. In fact, as you can see, there is the center of the image that is fixed. And then there is new subject around. They are all different and amazing. Of course, we can keep zooming out, just upscaling the one we like and asking me journey to zoom out. Yeah. So this is a process you can do almost infinitely. Midjourney will keep creating a round your original image. So that's really the basic of Zoom. This try make square. This will create the Watts around your image, but to make it square. So the banding on the format, you are creating your image Midjourney, we create what's around. One thing that we experiment is that zooming out will get you darker image. Midjourney tends to create darker solution around the center of your image. So you have to keep these in mind when you zoom out. As you can see, these are black. Here. There is a little more of creation, but if we zoom out again, it will keep creating darker and darker images. That's the square. So Midjourney, create contexts for our image to make it square. As you can see, that over and under to new strips of image. So this is useful if you create an image in a format different from the square and you want to make a new square image. The Pan function add to your image something on the side you want to Pan. For example, if we Pan in this direction, of course we can change the prompt Midjourney. We create a new image on that side of our image. If we click on the up arrow, it will create Something on the upper part of our image, as you can see, midjourney is expanding our image on debt direction, in this case on the right and in this case on the top, when you start ponding, you can't span in a different direction. I mean, now you can, of course, upscale one of these image like the Florida er, er, in this case. The second, you can keep bombing only in the direction you chosen. In this case, you can keep pounding horizontally, or in this example, you Pan vertically so you can expand your image in all the direction. You just have to keep doing it in the direction you choose when you first start bonding. And this is very important because we lacked the new image to your original image. So the format will change and it will be a bigger image. Instead with Zoom, the format will be the same. That is, solution of the image will be the same as you and see if we open in our browser, that's the original image. This is the original image that is 1344 by 896. And this is the one that is 2016 by 896. With the Pan, you can expand your image, achieving a higher resolution for your image. Instead, we did Zoom. The resolution will always be the origin one. Keeping bundling will create a much bigger image. So this is the first use case. You can expand your image with Zoom and Pan. Of course, going back to the original one, you can use custom Zoom to make it spicy. With GSK on Zoom, you can change everything before zooming out. So yeah, of course, you can change the format that Zoom, but you can to change the prompt. So in this case, we could, we could change the prompt to achieve in different outputs a coy fish in a bond inside. For this bar. Here, we are expanding our artwork, creating something new. And these image is very big. So DZ image is 2688 by 896. As you can see, you can reiterate this to obtain what you really want. Again, custom Zoom. We can keep zooming out and in this case, we can even change the format. This was the first use case. You can expand your image less create a new image. This is my second prompt, and I will show you some pink incredible spirit of nature sitting on an blossoming cherry tree, we delegate pasta, USMF flow when we speed it tastes inspired by Japanese Ukiyo-e. Ar to by three. This will create an amazing artwork and we will use these as a base to create a stunning mockup. I will show you. I really love the first swell. So let upscale. We will use the zoom function to create amazing mockup for our image. To do it, we can just click on Custom Zoom. And here you will change the prompt. Using a friend Art board on Wall. In for to stick when you see the stripe. Or now we have our coefficient in a photorealistic Zen garden. As you can see, zooming out, we can expand and change our image to create something interesting out of it. Here we are. Interesting. This one too Okay, So that's was for expanding our image. Now, let's see the mockup. So Midjourney created a mockup for our image. That now is an artwork on a wall of a museum. Of course, you can use these, not just for these kind of mockup, but you can use almost for anything. You can cast on Zoom again. And here you can say our work on Margaret. And it will create a mockup from that image on MR area. So it's very interesting, you can use these to create stunning mockup for your artworks. And of course, this could be useful if you want to sell your image and you want to create stunning mockup directly inside Midjourney. Look how beautiful is this simple mockup? Well, so the third, the way you can use the zoom function is to give context to your subject. In this case, we can create a new image. I have a new prompt portrait of a beautiful gate sharp, very detailed and realistic lighting shot on Nick on C nine. And let's run. So we'd been in Zoom, you can add elements to give contexts and create something new, change the meaning of our image. Let's see. Yeah, We are, these are image and they are all beautiful. Let's try with the third. Now with the customer Zoom, we can ask for aborted of a beautiful game shop in front of a dragon template. In this case, we will change our format to a more wider 116 by nine Zoom. So we ask it mean journey to change the format of the image. Zoom out and add some context. In this case, a drug on temple behind our subject. Yeah, we're loop how amazing our, our images. So Midjourney created what's around and back our Geisha. And this is incredible. Of course. The more you zoom out there, more, you can insert new elements and create something very unique and creative. But these are all so incredible, beautiful. Of course. We can zoom out again, the one we like most, like the second and the third. And we can ask me journey to keep doing this. In this case, we can add on here is to allow that mall dying with the four more. And of course we can change again the Aspect ratio to get a more interesting the scope image. We can do the same here. But in this case, we can ask for two by one image. So we can play with parameter to change the sides, to change the effect we can obtain. With Zoom and Pan function. Of end-of-course, we can mix and match the different information to create something unique. Is creating our geisha with the Dragon on the isolate montane with the full moon. Look how interesting are these images. Of course, we can ask for the single year. We're of course, this is just an example to show you the incredible possibilities that can release mature. But these are amazing. Let's see if tower second request is arriving, and then I will guide you to the fourth use case. Really interesting Okay, Let's take another prompt. And in this case, what we will create each obese while storytelling. Let's imagine a huge lion in the light cinematic. That's the same prompt we use in our first lesson. Here we are. That's our cinematic. To by one image. Look how beautiful is this image and how crazy is what can do. This is incredible. These want to really I-naught this image. So our lion is coming. Yeah, we are. Look how beautiful and powerful is this lion? Beautiful? Really amazing. Okay, So let's play with the one. So now what we will do with custom Zoom, he still change completely the prompt and peak, but we've been cooled. And of course, change the format to the 16 by nine to add a cinematic scene. So we can use the custom Zoom to change the prompt and create a story. How out of our image. And of course, we can mix these with the pan and zoom function to create something unique. Let's see. Yeah, we are, look, how crazy is this? So zooming out and changing the information, create these weird images in which dr. these wings, there are good and evil. Our lion is the center of our story. From DCR, really beautiful. Of course. We can work on these image, expanding with the band or zooming out and changing things. We can try with the second one. Let's say we want to use the pan and zoom. We want to use the BUN. And now here we can our pulse pain journey to five. So we are building and creating our story inside our image. Step by adding new information, new ideas. Been in Zoom is really the most powerful tool for your creativity to do. Something incredible. Yeah, we are. Look, how crazy is this? These are our angels. This is amazing. Let's keep transforming our image. The second one. But subscale that spun down our meat of the bill. Ready to fight. So as you can see, midjourney is showing what creating under our image with Pan and Zoom, we can enlarge our Canvas, doing doubt painting and creating really amazing, unique hair big images. Yeah, yeah. Look, how crazy is this? How big is this image? Okay, let's take the folds scale. And now what we can do is to use the custom Zoom to create mockup for our artwork from it toward on Wall. In. How did were immutable. See Leo. And let's create it 16 by nine image. Let's go. It's crazy that we started from these single lion and we add an IP to these incredible artwork in few clicks. And now we add our presentation in a museum. That's really amazing. Look how crazy is the artwork that Midjourney create around our masterpiece. This is incredible. Year there is to the people looking at our artwork. Oh my God, this is really astonishing. This is my preferred one, or maybe this one. As I promised you, dysfunction is mind-blowing and will help you create unique artworks. Of course, I suggest you to share the results of your Zoom and Pan experiment with other students on the project class because these willy-nilly be useful for them and for you to get some feedback. In the next lesson, we will start to see to advanced technique and function you can use to get more creative and bring your creation to the next level. So see you in the next lesson. 9. Level-Up Your Creativity with Describe: Hi and welcome to an incredible lesson today, we will see how to use the describe function that is really powerful. If you want to start the creation of Your images with another image in five, you can upload your image to Midjourney that will gives you some incredible prompt to create something similar. Let's go my computer and see how the described function work. Okay, So we are on our Midjourney, but how does Describe Function water? You're to write slash Describe. We are. And now Midjourney will write the prompt based on our image. And now we have to drag and drop an image to let Midjourney work. So let's upload an image. This is an image I took from the website of Midjourney. And now Midjourney will generate four different prompts debt in Midjourney subpoena. Create that kind of look. Yeah. Yeah. We have a woman with a beautiful butterfly near the moon and binds in her chest in the style of hyper-realistic pro, potato. Dark green and light gold, large-scale portrait energy field that illustration botanical abundance, indicate to you stations captured the essence of nature. Ar3 for a woman who is surrounded by a butterfly wings in afford a scene, this tale of case you will learn the metric system show a week, Dima Dimitri of the tiled floor and far with that dark green and yellow nocturnal, lifelike rendering and so on. So Midjourney create four different prompt that could create image similar to this one. Of course, if you want to try one of them, you can click on the quarter, respond the number, or you can generate four different ones. In this case. We can try the first. And here, of course you can Remix the prompt. You can try the second. And then this is interesting, the fourth, because there is a dream world by trying in the silo buttock is by figurative works. They died at botanical illustration Jessica dot sin that green, a yellow made of insects. The brand optical illusion painting it. So let's try the fourth one to this case, I just want to take out made of insects that we can use, made of flies. And with Describe, you can really find inspiration from other image to create something new. And of course, these can be the base to develop something new. Look how beautiful artists images, I really love all of them. Let's see. Singularly. Look how amazing Are these images. This is very beautiful. This one to year. The second prompt, the created pipeline journey. We are to sing. But I prefer the first one. Night, but I prefer the first one, and that's the dirt. And in this case, there is a world full. Look. How beautiful are these images? Really stunning? She's dreaming, wolf, this nice. Wow, this is amazing. Okay, So let's upscale the four to one of these. I really can decide the third is incredible. They want the first 1.4. They are all beautiful. So it's working. Look how beautiful these. Of course, as we learn in the previous lesson, we can try to create story out of this. We can cast on Zoom, change the brown, the wheat, tea with my cheap car to clean those rays shown. And of course, we can create a 16th and by nine image. Let's go look up beautiful. Of course, we can create the mockup from these. So these can be goal Devlin. Our work in a, it looks suited. Leaving because Rome is the sun. Look how beautiful is our artwork, and look how amazing is mockup. Really this is incredibly powerful to create illustration, to create new story. And look how beautiful it is. The foramen golden frame it on the warm. Look, how beautiful is this image? Really incredible? Amazing. With the Describe font. Really, you can create something beautiful even if you still don't have a lot of knowledge of keywords and style, of course, what I suggest to you is to work on the prompter, do some experiment, not just the role as suggested by Midjourney, but to personalize it, maybe change some details and tried to get creative. The next lesson, we will see another incredible powerful function to get your images to another level of complexity and creativity. See you in the next lesson. 10. Level-Up Your Creativity with Blend: Hi, Welcome to another incredible lesson. Today, we will see how to blend together different image to obtain unique results. This is very powerful if you want to create something more complex and of course more creative. So let's go my computer and see how the Blend function works. So we are my computer and I will show you an incredible clarity function to spark your imagination. These are some of the test I've done to prepare this lesson. And as you can see, this is really interesting because you can create stunning images, blend in together, different origins, different images. Here we are. So how does this work? Basically, basically the Blend function works as image prompt. But instead of uploading your image to Midjourney and then adding to a prompt is directly a function that allow you to upload right away your image. And we'll do all the job without any intervention. So how to do this? You have to write slash Blend. So that's the interface. Now, you can add up to five image when you upload one of your image is not important. The order Midjourney will blend these two different image together, creating for new propose. This is very interesting. You can create something unique or different style to your image, to your Composition. In this case, let's try, let's try something new. Blend together these two subsets that's blend together. Yeah, we are. So as you can see here, it took some of elements from Madeline Bartlett and some elements from the girl and create something beautiful new. In this case, this girl is wearing headphones. There are some of the color. That's quite weird. Format our man into a super car. Maybe it is not the best Blend realization we did so far. This is interesting. It took our gear and put it into a scene to wave world. It's funny because it's really difficult to predict the water are the results. The other possibility is to upload directly your image inside Midjourney. These. And then you, what you will have to do is to copy the link of the image and create a prompt with both the image and detect. These will give you much more control over the results. But of course, is a little bit more complicated. In this case, what you have to do if you want to use the image prompt you up to copy this link. The eighth and new image. Imagine and pass the link. This is the link of the image inside t-score to the same year. And then you will have to add some text. It looks slowly or of in autumn up. My jimmy dated. But here you can give the Aspect Ratio. So three Chu, let's see what will happen. That's our gentlemen. Now, you're blending the two images inside a prompt. And we can do the same with Blend these while, and here we are. So these are the image we obtained with the image prompt. The order is beautiful, but our lady is quite strange. This one, crazy. Maybe we can just leave abstract imagining is say we're, and that's instead the Blend. I've showed this to show you how much easier is to use the Blend instead of creating the prompt with an image on one side, do you have more control, but it's more difficult to, a proper result on the other side is very easy and white fast to achieve the desired result. Anyway, these are beautiful, a little bit crazier than the result from the Blend function. So depending on what you want to achieve, if you want to create something unique and simple and fast way, you can just Blend different images. Otherwise, if you want to play and try to create something unique, having more control on how Midjourney work, you can use the image prompt, copying the link of the image inside your prompt, and adding some texts because image prompt doesn't work without tax. So you have at least to add some texts to guide me joining the creation of the image. These are amazing, really beautiful. They look how beautiful are these abstract, imaginary images? Very good. Now you are really add all the informations you need to start creating incredible artworks. Of course, with Midjourney, you have to study, you have to learn to experiment because there are endless possibility. But really I gave you or the Basic so that you can with very satisfaction create unique images. See you in the last lesson. 11. Well done, You made it: Well done, really amazing job. We are live it at a finer, less so in this journey, I've show you the basic of Midjourney and how to get the most out of the latest feature release with the latest version of Midjourney. Now you have to experiment. You have to do your desk the trial. But I'm pretty sure that you will be able to create stunning images here on Skillshare, I've created many different classes on Midjourney in which it reach out to get the most out of Midjourney. There is a class on how to create stunning poster. There is a class on how to create Photography with Midjourney. And in the latest class, I will teach you how to use Photoshop BI to fix the problems you could have with the images generated in Midjourney and then blending some more classes here on skill share or Midjourney. Because I think that really this is the future. I love it, the time I spent creating this class for you and I hope you enjoyed, and of course, you found useful this class to spark your imagination. You can follow me here often share. You can follow me on my social media, TikTok and YouTube, where I create almost every day. Videos are new feature and a give incredible inspiration for Midjourney. Again, well done. You made it. We arrived at the end and I can't wait to see your creation. So see you in the next class.
