-: Midjourney has a lot of new features
when it comes to changing the settings.
So this lesson is gonna be
about exploring the different setting functionalities
and how to use it
for creating better outputs.
So let's hop in.
So for creating a normal prompt on Midjourney,
we always type in /imagine.
Now for changing our settings,
what we do is we type in /settings.
So I'm gonna do that now.
So here is our settings panel,
with different buttons we can click through similar
to our U1, V1 and remix options.
Now what I wanna focus on first
is the remix function.
So I'm gonna turn this off, okay?
I'm gonna dismiss this
to let the setting panel go away,
and I'm gonna scroll up to our favorite outputted car.
Okay, I'm gonna click, Vary (Region),
and what this is gonna allow me to do
is highlight a certain part of the image,
so we're gonna highlight the front grill.
I'm gonna hit submit,
and then Midjourney is gonna go to work,
only remixing that part of the image.
Now I'm gonna open up the settings panel again,
and I'm gonna turn Remix mode on.
What this is gonna allow us to do
is when we vary our image,
whether it's by clicking the vary by region
or by clicking the remix button,
it's gonna allow for us
to put in a new prompt,
which is really interesting.
So we have the same part of our image highlighted,
but I'm gonna put in a new prompt
and I want Midjourney to put a fighter jet engine
at the grill
versus basically deciding
to do whatever it wants to do.
So if we look what it outputted
with the vary by region without a prompt,
we only have subtle changes,
just to the grill and to the headlights.
Different colors, slightly different shape,
different model, nothing crazy.
But if we look at the fighter jet engine,
Midjourney did a pretty interesting job
of incorporating a brand new design
just into this specific part of the image.
This is a relatively new function
that opens up tons of possibility.
Now what I wanna do
is use the same remixing function,
but to create something a little bit more realistic
versus this more cartoonish style.
So let's go to our settings panel one more time,
and I'm gonna make sure that remix is checked
because again, when Remix mode is turned on,
I can create a brand new prompt
from what was previously created.
So let's go to our initial output
of just using the word car,
and let's put something a lot more specific
into this remix.
I'm gonna use the prompt,
a classic 80's sports car,
photo-realistic,
restaurant diner in the background with the sunset
and let's say, highly detailed
and hit Submit,
and let's see what we get.
So let's scroll down and see what we created.
Wow, and just like that we completely changed the look
and feel of our photo going to something
that an actual photographer
could potentially shoot in a real life situation.
Going from that more cartoon, fantasy style
to something a lot more usable
to use as reference images
or just to really create something from scratch.
In the next lesson,
we're gonna dive into even more
of the different settings
and functionality of Midjourney.
