When v4 of Midjourney was first released, the ability to blend images together with image prompts was all the rage. I honestly think this was mostly supported by the excellent default stylization in v4, which made it incredibly easy for anyone to do this. And as many people seemed to struggle with how image prompts worked, the introduction of the /blend made it so much easier.
But with v5 I sometimes feel that image blending has lost its allure. Especially because I don't find the initial results very convincing anymore. I'm not entirely sure why, but it might have to do with the lack of default stylization.
However, we now have additional tools at our disposal that allow us to use novel approaches to achieve similar things. And these are especially helpful when you're not dead set on getting something that looks exactly the same as your image references.
These novel methods are:
1. Blended Reverse Engineering
2. Multiprompt Image Blending
I'm sure some people have already tried this and are using these methods. But very few people are talking about them publicly. I think they are fantastic alternatives to classic blending because they not only produce crisper and more varied results. They also give you far more control, so you can fine-tune your images too.
I strongly urge you to check out this video. I think it will teach you to be more creative in your Midjourney workflows :)

Chiming in and echoing everyone’s comments - thank you so much Christian for eloquently articulating your process and for pushing things forward. I think I know things but then you come in with a new perspective. Really appreciate the work you put into educating and wanted to give you the encouragement to continue to do so. You are incredible.

Blend is pretty amazing, the fact that you have no control and the result is a surprise is just part of the fun. My favourite images ever are a result of blending.

Yes, I partially agree. But it doesn't help when the image contains obvious flaws that aren't helpful for what I'm trying to create.

And people still say that it's "oh so easy to use Ai, and it's going to replace us". Look at how many steps this guy just had to do to get to the result he wanted.

@jango6582 Жыл бұрын

thx, really good tutorials! I would like to add some tipps from my experience: for the describe feature I can recommend trying all four prompts and check the results instead of just picking what you expect to fit best. Often its not the prompt that I think matches well that in the end gives me the closest results. And in your second method for the white staircase you could try to mention it twice in the prompt with the higher weight. Sometimes it helps to get closer to the result you had in mind, but not always ✌

@TokenizedAI Жыл бұрын

Yes, I've done this too. I actually mention this. But it takes too much time for this type of video format.

This is great in not only showing the strengths but the weaknesses of ai art. In the loft architecture case I notice how frustrating it was for you to actually get what you wanted and how you ultimately had to give up and compromise. This could be for a number of reasons but is most likely because the two architecture styles are so contrasting; diffusion is bringing things into focus from a blur and so contrast gets lost.
