NEW! Edit YOUR OWN IMAGES in Midjourney's AI Image Editor!
Howto & Style
Introduction
Midjourney recently introduced a groundbreaking feature that allows users to upload and edit their own images using AI technology. To access this new feature, you need to create a minimum of 10,000 images, although this limit is expected to decrease over time. Here’s a detailed guide on how to get started and make the most of the image editing capabilities.
Getting Started
To begin, log into the Midjourney website and navigate to the editing interface. Once there, you can either paste the URL of an image or upload one directly. For this guide, let’s say you’re using an image of a man’s face downloaded from Pexels.com. Simply drag and drop the image into the editor.
Tools Overview
Upon uploading, the interface will present several tools on the left sidebar for editing, along with a prompt bar at the top to customize changes. You can adjust the positioning and size of your image, as well as erase specific areas. For example, if you want to erase the background and the man's T-shirt, you can do so using the eraser tool. If you accidentally erase too much, the restore button allows you to recover erased areas.
Generating New Images
After setting up your image, you can input a creative prompt to generate an entirely new background or alterations. For instance, if you enter “a man with a silly face inside a spaceship cockpit hyperspace,” you can see the AI incorporate this concept into your image. The tool generates four options from which you can choose the best fit.
Once you find an image you like, it’s possible to change the aspect ratio or further edit the image by erasing additional parts or utilizing generated prompts based on the current image. You can interactively explore these different layers of image edits and revisits by clicking through the stages of your edits.
Advanced Editing Options
Midjourney also offers personalization features, allowing you to adjust the generation settings such as stylization, and weirdness. You can apply image prompts for styles as inspirations or for specific elements you want to incorporate.
In addition to the main editing tools, Midjourney includes a “retexture” function. For example, if you wish to retexture the image into an 'ink dripping drawing with red, green, and black ink,' you can submit that prompt and see how the image changes. Similar attempts with other styles, like “Renaissance painting by Leonardo da Vinci,” yield fascinating results.
Final Thoughts
After editing, you have the option to upscale your images for gallery submission or download them directly. This new functionality significantly enhances the user experience by combining personal creativity with AI technology.
As you explore this feature, you’ll find many creative ways to manipulate your personal images. This tool is an exciting development for both hobbyists and professionals seeking to innovate with image creation and editing.
