πŸ–ΌοΈ New Editor Mode in Mid Journey

Mid Journey has introduced a new editor mode that consolidates features like panning, zooming, and in-painting into a single setup. This editor is accessible through the main website, midjourney.com, and offers a range of options for manipulating images. Users can change the aspect ratio, extend the canvas, and reposition the original picture within the frame. The editor also supports a basic panning feature and allows for canvas expansion in any direction. The script demonstrates the process of using the editor to create different image generations by panning and adjusting the canvas. It also includes the use of an SRF code for achieving a specific art style and encourages following on social media for style updates.

πŸ› οΈ Enhancing Image Manipulation with Mid Journey's Editor

The script continues to explore the new editor mode by discussing the zooming feature, which allows for both zooming in and out, albeit with limitations on full cropping. It explains that zooming in is achieved by pulling the image corners inward, which then runs the image through an upscale process for higher resolution. However, the editor currently does not support grabbing the frame from every direction, only up and down or left and right. The video also covers in-painting, where users can erase and restore parts of an image, and edit the prompt for more specific results. The script provides a live troubleshooting example of changing the color of glasses in an image and suggests writing prompts as if the desired image already exists for better outcomes.

πŸ”„ Updates to Mid Journey's Chat Rooms and Website Accessibility

The final paragraph discusses updates to Mid Journey's chat rooms, which are now synced with Discord, allowing for live communication across platforms. It mentions that certain chat rooms are exclusive to users who have created a significant number of images, such as the 'super users' club. The script also explains how users can filter chat room images to view only their creations or change settings to view images once they are completed. Additionally, it notes that anyone who has created at least 10 images on Mid Journey can now create on the website, and provides a tip for users who may have trouble accessing this feature, suggesting they use a specific command in Discord to sync their stats with the Mid Journey bot. The video concludes by inviting feedback on the new editor and promoting another video on creating custom fonts in Mid Journey.

Keywords

Editor Mode

The Editor Mode in Midjourney is a new feature that combines multiple functions like panning, zooming, and inpainting into one setup. It provides users with an integrated workspace to adjust and modify images directly on the Midjourney website. For example, users can change the aspect ratio of the canvas or adjust the placement of images using this mode.

Panning

Panning is a feature in the new Editor Mode that allows users to expand the canvas in different directions. This involves adjusting the position of the image by dragging it to different parts of the canvas, which generates new content in the expanded areas, as demonstrated when the user panned the image upwards or downwards.

Zooming

Zooming in Midjourney's Editor Mode allows users to zoom in or out of images. However, zooming in requires pulling the image inwards from the sides, and the system will upscale the image for higher resolution. The catch is that zooming in only works in one direction at a timeβ€”either horizontally or vertically, but not both simultaneously.

Inpainting

Inpainting in the Editor Mode is used to modify specific parts of an image. Users can erase areas of the image and regenerate them with new prompts. For instance, in the script, the creator replaces blue glasses with purple ones by selecting the area around the face and adjusting the prompt.

Erase and Restore

Erase and Restore are tools in the Inpainting section of the Editor Mode. 'Erase' allows users to remove parts of an image to modify them, while 'Restore' helps bring back original parts of the image. These tools are crucial for making detailed adjustments, such as changing the color of sunglasses in a portrait.

Aspect Ratio

Aspect Ratio refers to the proportional relationship between the width and height of the image canvas. In the Editor Mode, users can manually adjust the aspect ratio or select from predefined options like 16:9 or 2:3 to quickly set up their canvas size.

Creative Actions

Creative Actions is a menu on the Midjourney website that allows users to access various editing tools and features, including the new Editor Mode. It provides quick access to advanced features for customizing images after they have been generated.

Super Users

Super Users in Midjourney are users who have created over 1,000 images. They have access to exclusive chat rooms and other features. For example, they can participate in discussions in the 'Super Users' channel, where advanced users share tips and experiences.

Sync with Discord

Sync with Discord is a new feature that allows Midjourney's website chat rooms to synchronize with Discord. This means that conversations in certain channels on Discord will appear in real-time on the Midjourney website, enabling users to interact across platforms.

Prompt Craft

Prompt Craft is one of the chat channels on the Midjourney platform, where users share and discuss prompts used to generate specific styles and images. For instance, the creator mentions sharing a specific style code used to generate an art style they liked.
