Print-on-demand sellers have always been looking for ways to increase their productivity.
In the long term, the only way you can compete is by creating more and more designs of considerably higher quality.
The problem is that you're constrained by quickly you or your designers can produce designs.
It either takes a long time or it costs a great deal of money.
Midjourney completely changed the game when it first introduced v4 to the world.
However, the vast majority of Merch designs are vectors because the designs need to be scaled for various different types of products.
Unfortunately, Adobe Illustrator's image tracer has always been a huge pile of rubbish, producing very low-quality vectors.
But that's about to change quite a bit.
You can now vectorize your images with much greater quality straight within Discord thanks to a tool called Tracejourney!

Thanks for the info. Very interesting. How does this compare to upscaling with, say Gigapixel, which can increase the image x 6 with no image loss? Is it necessary to convert to vector for a T-Shirt?

@TokenizedAI 11 ай бұрын

Upscaling is unnecessary if you convert them to vectors. The whole point of using vectors is that they are infinitely scalable.

@morpheus2573 11 ай бұрын

@@TokenizedAI Yep. I understand that. However, that premise also works in reverse. If you get the same quality from upscaling, why do you need to vectorise for an image the size of a T-shirt? If it was a billboard poster that would be different. I've just upscaled some MJ images using Gigapixel and had them printed on very large canvases 2m wide at 300dpi with zero pixelation or quality loss, so I'm just wondering if vectorising has any advantage in this instance.

@TokenizedAI 11 ай бұрын

Valid points. I think because some platforms allow you to upload vectors and then change colors (on the frontend, for the customer). I also think it might just be that people have gotten used to working with them. Especially when you're adding typography too. I personally prefer to work with vectors for almost everything.

Are you talking about the MJ plans? Your images are always public (on the web app) unless you're in Stealth Mode (requires Pro plan). Using a private server just eliminates the need to prompt inside the official MJ Discord and also allows for more organization. But if someone wants to find your images, they can.

FANTASTIC VIDEO! Great for designers - will save me time skillfully tracing by hand or perfecting the Illustrator outlines. NOT because A Illustrator is bad - my taste level is very high and I know EXACTLY what shape I need or what line ,etc, I am Illustrator master. I can evaluate Adobe Illustrator . But I am not aware of you being a designer who uses Adobe Illustrator professionally - if that is the case - I don’t think you are qualified to put down software , from which MJ is sucking up all its features. All amateurs who use MJ will get the wrong idea that MJ will make the a Designers…It will NOT. Never forget that MJ is specifically created with designer users in mind - professionals who already know what they want ,can do it without MJ only for longer period of time. Apart from that - great video.Thank you!💖 PS. Calling the best software”c**p” is not only unnecessary but arrogant as well. Where do you thinkMJ borrowed the code to trace imagery.? From Adobe Illustrator - the very first and best drafting software. You may not be insulting .It reduces your own value as a professional.Adobe Illustrator is still the best!

@TokenizedAI 11 ай бұрын

With all due respect, I've been using Adobe Illustrator for 20 years. I know the image tracer very well and I know that it's much worse at this and requires far more post-work. It works for certain use cases but it's horrible for more complex designs for print-on-demand. I'm not making stuff up. I'm also not being arrogant. It's an opinion that is widely shared in the print-on-demand space. I trust that people understand that my statement refers to the image tracer and not to the entire piece of software. In the context of the video, it's quite obvious that this is what I meant. PS: MJ didn't borrow anything from Adobe. Adobe doesn't do open source software. This tool isn't even MJ. I'm really not sure where you're getting this info from. Very confusing.

@rickhorowitz9312 3 ай бұрын

Why do all your videos lately seem like they're shot through cotton, or clouds? Or an iced-over lens? Anyway, I thank you for these. But I must admit that they make me feel reinforced in my belief that coming up with a decent prompt is like voodoo, and you just keep trying again, and again, until you get something "similar" to what you want. Although "similar" can mean "worlds apart." Is that why you don't actually care about making the characters match from one image to another? You've convinced me that it's because that is not possible. And that's why I'm not going to pay almost $200 for a course from you that will probably teach me that using AI to create a consistent set of characters through even a 4-page comic is impossible. I mean, that's what you've shown us, right?

@TokenizedAI 3 ай бұрын

This video is more than half a year old. So, not sure what you mean by "lately". Sounds like you commented under the wrong video, to be honest. It's not voodoo, but yes, creating consistent characters is extremely difficult with the current level of the tech. I don't claim it's easy and I don't "ice over". I'm literally known for not icing over anything. On the contrary. No idea where you got that idea because I literally demonstrate how challenging it is. That's why Midjourney is working on features to facilitate this. As for the course, the product page specifically states that it does not cover character consistency. It teaches the foundational skills of Midjourney, how to prompt and how to do so with intent. It does not cover hyper specific use cases such as creating comic books, which is only 1 single use case out of hundreds. So, if that's what you're looking for, then the course isn't for you. But like I said, the course page is open and transparent about that if one reads it.
