Want to say thanks so much for the updated info.. when i got off work (saw some at work) after eating went to go try it out.. i am truly amazed what it can do.. think of this .. i made a pic prompt of a group of superheroines..so it generated 3 heroines in each of the 4 squares…i then took one i experimented with and had it go zoom out x2… when the picture finally did generated in the four squares, in the bottom right the prompt had added 2 more heroines to the picture from 3 to 5 …wow !! so now i am sitting back and figuring what else i can do with this …lol thanks again!!!

heh, they changed the seed.
I do know what you're trying to say: when using Ps Generative Fill you're actually increasing the image size with each addition. With Zoom Out you still end up with a max pixel size per each zoom out you do. A great way to fix this is to toss the image into Gigapixel, which not only upscales the image but also enhances it beautifully! Gigapixel is my FIRST stop on EVERY Midjourney image I save! Flawless upscaling!
Midjourney being able to change the crop while keeping the original subject exactly as it was originally makes me think that a future update will have a 'subject masking' feature that will allow us to change the prompt on everything but the 'subject' and create an entirely new scene, or change the colors, or detail, or context or a background, etc while retaining the original subject; something we try to do so unsuccessfully these days with 'seeds'. I KNEW MJ could do better than they are currently doing with seeds, which at best offer a new imagined version of the seed image! How about "female car model leaning on car" in the changed prompt? I'll have to try it and see if now that I have the car photo I want I can add a model leaning on the same car!
One area where I have to disagree with the "important tokens" aspect: lens details. When you prompt "shot with 35mm lens" as opposed to "shot with 600mm lens" you get bokeh and background differences based on the prompt (and, more importantly, the f-stop number you use). At least I've found that to be true.
Why would the word "cinematic" be so unimportant in the 'shorten' prompt, yet add so much cinematic detail in the 'shortened' prompt? That's a puzzle, because I can only imagine 'cinematic' DID add a lot in the prompt with that word added; nothing else makes sense. ?
Where do we find the blurred-out image in the final set?🤣 Honestly… this was a very telling vid! Thanks for sharing. If we hunker down and rake our brains to figure out how Midjourney comes up with its imagery, we'll die with brains of dust, or ashes, or something. It amazes me how MJ works! Oh, to be a fly on the wall at a Midjourney devs meeting!!!
How come nobody seems to know how to correctly pronounce the word template!? Is this some kind of dorky Canadian nonsense?
The "dog in space" is useful to add a specific entity inside the vehicle. I've had trouble with this before. Thanks for the video 👏
What's unsplash?
Absoultly stellar, I hope Adobe can get to this level of quality.
Played w 5.2 for a few hours and lovin! 💯🎉👏🏻
Really great explanations. Love your videos.
Thanks for this well-crafted update! I could not have asked for a better introduction to the new features.
Not trying to be rude, but I don't think you know what an f stop is
* ZOOM * Easily the most powerful thing I've seen in Midjourney for a mod. It turns some images I love into something almost profound with some results. Absolutely insane!
I switched to the V5.2 in settings but, I do not see the zoom function when I click on upscale ??
Love your videos & your enthusiasm 👍
Something that MJ can’t YET do and that Stability AI just released, is the ability to zoom out from a user’s own image – one that they upload, that is. Stability’s called it Uncrop. So you could upload a famous painting, for example the Mona Lisa, run it through Uncrop and now you see more on all sides of the portrait.
Great video. Commenting for the algorithm
A little short sighted to only implement a zoom out… and not a zoom in… but I imagine that may be coming in future versions (dare I suggest pan left, pan right?)
What does 'unsplash' mean in the prompt?
You Made Me SHED A TEAR when i didnt see one your famous Neon Prompts in this video!😆
absolutely awesome. thanks for sharing
🤩
Great stuff, thanks for showing!
nice, tanks
nice "monkey's paw" reference 🙂
I think it is crazy that shorten removes lenses. lens size definitely makes a difference in depth of field and basically irl lens differences. i don't understand why shorten says it doesn't. it's also strange that shorten doesn't weight the subject higher than random descriptors. I think shorten may be a little wonky and is something they will improve down the road.
MJ 5.2 seems AWFUL unless you want all your “photos” to look like generic stock photos no matter what you write in the prompt. It’s better with art, but simply horrific with photos on the creativity side.
Excellent High Level Tutorial. You are a Midjourney Professor!! I am wondering about one thing though. {What's the point of using random seeds? There's no need. Seeds are only used to create similar-looking images from older previously generated images. By using seeds on new images it is the same as not using seed at all.} Right?
Can you tell me please with the New (Custom zoom) at 3:08 How can I change the aspect ratio of an OLDER image I did some weeks ago at the beginning of this month. I just wanted to change its aspect ratio I did from the Large rectangle shape for the 'Facebook Profile Banner' size, to convert it into the –ar 3.2. Unfortunately because it was made with the previous version 5.1, I don't have that (custom zoom) option available. The only way i could do was to Click the "variations button" to do it again, and now I have the Zoom options. But these are new images. I wanted to alter only that old image, not the new images. Is there a cheat method to do that in Midjourney? 🙂
Amazing but where can I see that pic of Crono
I notice that if the original image doesn't have the subject matter in it, it will add it to the outskirts.
Meh
Not sure why anybody would try to entirely change the prompt when zooming out? If anything it would be just for subtle changes to the original section, or input for the newly added sections from the zoom out
Here's what I still find endlessly confusing whenever YouTubers and bloggers talk about new parameters: we never know what BASE settings are being used! It's all well n good discussing the new stylize parameter on 5.2, but how does that interact with the base style settings (0.5, 100,250, 750)??? Does setting a style parameter completely override whatever base setting you have set? And what about RAW? That will also have a direct influence. I really just wish Midjourney would take this entire thing of Discord and simplify the process entirely. It's becoming so convoluted now to the point we spend more time re rolling and thinking "ooh what if I try this, then I might get that" than actually achieving anything at all – and all that re rolling is making MD an absolute fortune. A far FAR better interface would be to create a single image (not 4) then use sliders to simply add or reduce elements on that image. Forever re rolling, mixing, and creating variants to get to where you need to be is so tedious UNLESS you specifically want variation in a series of similar images. Really done with discord its a ball ache.
so far it seems like 5.2 really really prefers lifelike/realistic humans. I was doing a lot of character art for DnD, and 5.2 really needs me to explicitly promp for fantasy art rather than just saying "DnD character art". The same prompts that produced drawn images in 5.1 are producing hyperrealistic people in 5.2.
mj needs an im2img feature that allows style transfer for people who want to use it with ebsynth and animation/comics.
Can you create sequential images that maintain characters in such a way as you can build theme based videos from the series of stills
Still sticking to A1111 & Deliberate v2 since its just better
what is that –seed number about, sorry if I missed something
I'm having a difficult time trying to gain the same style of images with 5.2 vs 5.1. Its almost as if I have something turned on/off that wasnt before.
Thank you. Can you please show me how to create a new scene with 2 images? For example, I need a specific dog to sit on a specific turtle shell
But still midjouurney is paid and censored. I still prefer free, unsensored stable diffusion
Not even 5 minutes in and I’m already buying your prompt pack. Do more of them, I support raw talent!
I have a question let's say I asked the bot to create a character and I liked the character, now I want this character to interact with other characters that the same bot made can I do that? I don't know if you guys understood what I said but I want to create characters that interact with each other without them changing every time I change their background is it possible to do? Thanks.
SO helpful!! Thank you. New sub
thanks for the summary, much appreciate the vid. keep up the fab work

Midjourney version 5.2 is pathetic, clinical, and crap.
"an retro"
