Mastering Midjourney's inpainting

 

 

 

 

1. Create a 'Reference Character' upscale and copy the image URL address Prompt Below each image.

3. Add the 'Reference Character' URL to the start of the prompt and edit any details.

You can follow this tutorial to generate your own image

Step 1 - Use the below prompt to generate the below image. Prompt - beautiful white clouds shaped as ship --style raw

 

 

Step 2 - Now click on Vary (Region) and mark the region where you want your image to appear. Make sure you have the link to your image., by uploading the image to Midjourney and copying the URL link from the browser. Step 3 - Enter the above URL and a Prompt along with it (Captain of the ship

 

 

Step 4 - Now you should see the InPainting image.

 

 

You can continue to upscale, zoom and Pan this image to get different variations.

 

 

Here's an example of a workflow that I came up with utilizing the new inpainting feature:

✅- Start with a basic sketch
✅- Prompt the desired result over the sketch, disrupting it with an image vector for composition and scale
✅- Subtle Variations until desired cohesion
✅- Strong Variation
✅- Envelope to capture the seed of the Strong Variation
✅- Start a new prompt tree with the final image of the old tree, adding the seed of the strong variation
✅- Zoom out without remixing
✅- Vary the Different regions of the output depending on intention, in this case I prompted "a reflective surface of the lakeside" for the ground and a "lava forest" for the background

In total, this uses a combination of scaffolding, disruptions, seed reinforcement, zooming, and regional variations to create the final result.

 Here's an example of seed reinforcement in action. The basic idea is that the initial combination of the images (i1 + i2) used in the prompt and the prompt itself are going to create the initial grid (i3) onto the seed of its choice (i3), meaning that Midjourney has effectively consolidated all of this information. Put into a sort of equation, it would look like this: s[(i1+i2)p] = i3 Assuming that Image 1 is the sketch...

 

 

This is great, because now all I have to do is replace the image of the sketch with a result that the seed (3732560190) itself produced, which will make more coherent and perhaps better result than what Midjourney could produce on top of the initial sketch.

 Midjourney had a handicap: text generation. The words it generated were mostly meaningless.

The new inpainting feature solves this problem.

This guide will show you how to do it:

 

 

In this tutorial, I'll be showing you how to:

1. Use Midjourney inpainting to make meaningful words
2. Take advantage of word spacing for best results
3. Change the font of the text
4. Avoid a common problem

This technique really opens up so many possibilities.

Let's dive in!

Example:

Here's a sign generated by Midjourney with the following prompt:

C O F F E E sign in front of a cozy coffee shop, clean, minimalistic, foliage, natural light

The coffee sign is clearly misspelled.

Let's fix it.

Using inpainting, select the region of the sign with spelling mistakes.

Then, replace the prompt in the text box with the appropriate letters and press submit.

Here are the results.

Not bad, but we are still missing an 'E'.

We will continue carrying out inpainting to add the extra 'E'.

The question is, which of the 4 signs below should we perform inpainting on?

It turns out you should only perform inpainting on the 4th sign.

We shouldn't do inpainting on signs 1, 2 & 3.

This is because there isn't enough space for Midjourney to insert the letter 'E' at the end while keeping both sides balanced.

Even if we try, no 'E' will be added.

After performing inpainting one more time, we have our COFFEE sign spelled correctly!

Now, here are 2 more useful tips:

I'll show you:

- How to change the font of a word
- How to avoid a common problem

We will be using the following example, where I want to change the word "FAMARE" generated by Midjourney into "FLAME".

 

- Inpainting with any image input

Picture in a picture? Let's take a look at using an image prompt with Midjourney's new inpainting feature!

First, I need a starting image. For this example, I have chosen a woman wearing a plain white t-shirt. Next, I need my reference image's URL. (See MJ's guide to image prompts for help with this.)

From my starting image, I use "🖌️Vary (Region)" and select a portion of the t-shirt. Then (with Remix Mode on) I add the URL first, and then a word prompt. In this case, I used the original prompt that produced the image of the flower illustration.
(If you are using a non-MJ image, you will need to write a new word prompt.)

Ta-da! Now her shirt has a pretty graphic on it. Have you used image prompts with inpainting yet? How were your results?
