I'm hoping it works smoothly!

yes me to. cant wait for it @@FutureTechPilot

Hey I'm glad to hear that haha cheers pal!

@@FutureTechPilot so this is something im confused about--can you use sref and an image prompt at the same time? the announcement made it seem like no, but in my testing i think it makes a difference. would love to see a deep dive on using them both together, if indeed it makes a difference

Isn't it so much fun?

And thank you very much!

You'll never run out of things to do!

Cheers!

The default --sw is 100!

💯

I'm not entirely sure I understand the question, so let me know if my answer isn't what you were thinking of - but I would say that it's just another branch of consistency. You could use words to keep a style similar, you could remix the image to keep the style similar, you could image prompt for consistency, or you could include a style reference. They all result in different-looking generations, but they all accomplish the same idea. Hope that makes sense

That's awesome to hear!

And I appreciate you!

Thanks for the support!

Nope! Should still be there. I'd ask around on one of the 'support' channels in Discord if you can't find it

Cool idea! I feel like it's an impossible question to answer haha but I'll keep it in mind!

@@FutureTechPilot cool, thank you :) looking forward to it.

That's a really really good example!

hahah yeah I wonder how long it will take for people to get bored of this

Unfortunately there is no real way to accomplish that right now, but we could definitely see that as a feature in the future

thank you sir @@FutureTechPilot

You should ask around in the prompt chat channel on Discord! Lots of helpful people there

😂 I didn't want to confuse people with that combination - because yes it's possible, and it's a little overwhelming to monitor all those possibilities. Let me know if you find any cool tricks!

Yes, we need this video as well!

They're considering letting us edit non-midjourney photos, but you can't do that right now. You definitely should look into Photoshop - that program has amazing AI Generative Fill

👀oh you can. But I'm saving that for another video

Sounds frustrating. I'm really not sure of the solution. You should definitely ask around on one of the support channels on Discord! Sorry I'm not more help

I'm not sure I understand your question

No not right now, but maybe in the future!

​@@FutureTechPilot Thanks for the reply. I've never understood Midjourney's mission if artists can't have the foundational influence over their art rather than take what they're given on a random. It feels like you're stuck playing with these things but not accomplishing anything. Some people have generated more than 5000 images, but nothing to show for it, no viral artist has come from the world of AI other than you guys that teach how to use it. All because realistically it's not useable if there's no control to consistency.

@@haljordan1575 Their mission is definitely just to create something that is fun to 'play' with. Their goal is to advance artistic expression - they're not really motivated by creating professional tools (even though they know the audience wants it)

I'm not sure I understand the question, but I'd say it's similar, not the same - and you can't use --sref and style tuning together right now (style tuning is only available in 5.2 and sref is only in v 6)

Yah very good point! That's probably the first thing to suggest when Midjourney isn't making what you want - change up the orientation of the generation!

Yah something like that!

🤙

I don't use a script in my videos but sure I'll change things up ;)

Yah haha so many rabbit holes to explore

@@FutureTechPilot it is when you start chucking in -iw and -sw in the mix!

Yah that's a cool update!

this video might help you out - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q5aYdM6ausvTmJc.html

they're working on it!

yah you recognize that ability?

@@FutureTechPilot yeah. It’s a thing in stable diffusion where the ai tries to copy the “style” of the input image. It has different types of focus. Some ipadapters focus on faces. Some colors. Some lines. Some general image patterns (this is the most common one). The one thing to note. Ultimately it works on a square 1:1 image. Whatever you give it. It’s gonna crop it to 1:1. Usually in the center. Midjourney MAY be doing some complex logic to find where the image focus is and then crop there. (In comfyui and automatic1111 we do this manually)

You can't please everyone!

@@FutureTechPilot true 👍

So you start with a mean-girl takedown, then body-slam yourself into a bowl of word salad. I think most people would prefer Nolan's well thought out approach and appreciate his generosity over your verbosity.

I had multiple people ask me about the difference. So why would I assume one explanation would make sense to all of them?

@@FutureTechPilot Kids these days. 😉

@@morpheus2573 I don't create the video, so I can only use words. I know it's too much for you to follow and visual representation seems easier to understand. The problem is, his explanation is wrong. I only used 2 sentences to explaing it all, the rest was relating to what he said in the video. So my "verbosity" is only referring to examples your "generous" author of the video gave, to point out faultiness of his "well thought" understanding of sref image. The simplest explanation is: the sref only takes style from the image. As you already haven't understood once what is the style of the image, I'll describe it to you: it grabs the overall composition, read if it's a photo, anime, animation, 3d render, oil paint, watercolor, etc or combination of these styles. It also reads the colors, the lights, occasionally some decorative elements. Most importantly, it skips the content of the image. It doesn't care if there is a woman or the dog in it, it completely skips it. The explanation in the video this guy gave us, he says it is a blend of the sref image with a text prompt is totally wrong. A blend wouldn't skip the content of the sref image. Read my response to the video author for more details.

@@FutureTechPilot The problem is not in the "many explanations" but that each of your explanations of sref is wrong. A first example you show an image of a pattern. To explain how STYLE reference image works, using a pattern image, that is literally made of style and decorative elements (considered by ai as style) only, is completely illogical and is simply invalid example. You say "style is transferred through and subject get's blended together" - this is the closest you got to understanding it, and it's only becouse the sref image is a pattern, but still not close enough. Becouse they are not even blended together, in the image prompt example of man wearing a red jacket and gold shoes the image and text prompt are blended together more, since the pink parts of the image become red matching the jacket or trousers, and yellow parts of the image become gold, matching the shoes. While sref image + 'man wearing red jacket' only transfer the style to it, not blending together, not taking anything from it. Second example, the dragon + sref of lego image is grabbing only the colors, overall compostion and the size of the dragon (or rather size of the scene). The size of the scene make it a figurine, doesn't make it a toy and neither of those is a toy figurine, just a figurine. "Blend come toghether a little more", yeah, when you prompted it has to be 'dragon made of lego' xD, lol. Blend come only after putting it in the prompt, there is no slightest piece of lego in it until you clarify it in the prompt, only style is trasnferred, there is zero blend before that. 3rd example the couch is absolutely not a blend. There is no girl at all after using sref image (unless you believe she's blended into the couch which we can't see). The couch prompt only grabs the style, so there is no girl, there is strong sunlight grabbed, strong contrast level grabbed, the shadows, product photography, unsplash, everything that is related to style besides the actual objects in this picture, that is no girl, no coat, only the lubricity of the coat. The last example clearly shows the image prompt with text prompt create much more of a blend than sref with text prompt. Ninja turtle and batman are literally blended toghether, the character consists of both, either it looks like a turtle but have a batman cape, or it looks more like batman with the mask, but you can clearly see the turtles face behind it and greenish body. It couldn't be more obvious. Image prompt + text prompt is literally like the text prompt that created that image + text u added, which is way more of a blend between these two, like normal text prompting is usually the blend of all of the things u put in there. While sref only grabs the style of the image, so there is absolutely zero batman in these results, only the style of the image, and turtle literally swap the batman from it's place, grabbing only the style of the image. Now as I clearly described you what is sref - style reference skipping all the content in it, you better rerecord the video with the proper explanation, not misleading your viewers. "Sref doesn't care who was in the original image" "only black and white manga inspired visuals" - finally at the end you said something that makes sense. Unfortunetly all of the multuplication, blending and smoothie nonsense throughout the entire video is all wrong.
