Pan and vary images
- [Instructor] In Midjourney 5.2, after you have upscaled or up-resed your images, you now have a variety of options that you can use to make subtle changes to the framing, not to mention vary elements that exist within that image. Now, in order to see this, let's all start off by creating a text prompt together. We'll then choose which image to up-res and then see these options and then start to work with them. Okay, so I'm here in my Midjourney bot, and let's start with our most used imagine command, /imagine prompts, followed by a colon. And let's type in a monkey climbing up a banana tree in the Amazon rainforest shot on a 600 millimeter lens. I'll follow that with a comma. Let's choose an aspect ratio, so --ar Let's go with 16.9 in my case and see what Midjourney comes up with. Okay, this is really cool. We got a lot of cute monkeys here. I kind of like this one in the upper right hand corner. So I'm going to up-res that and here are some of the options that we can take advantage of. So first off, we could pan this image if we'd like. One thing is I'd like to have the monkey a bit more centered. So I'm going to click on this arrow here, which is going to pan this to the right. In fact, I could even change this prompt a little bit if I wanted to see also other things in the newly produced image. In this case, let's just keep the prompt as is. So I'll submit that. Okay. And here are the four results it produced. We can see here different types of leaves in the foreground that we can take advantage of here. Kind of like this one on the top left. I want to up-res that one so we can see the results. And just notice now we just have a left and right pan available on this newly produced image. Let's actually head to the image that we up-resed just before. This was the original 16 by nine image. And another option we have, so one is to vary this subtly, and this is going to make subtle variations in the image. In fact, we can even add to our prompt. I want to leave this as is in this case and just choose to submit this. I'm going to run a subsequent job so we can compare it. I'm going to vary this strong. Again, I'm not going to add anything to the prompt, but we can see the two different results and compare them side by side. Okay, so here is the variation Subtle. This is the four results, and you can compare that next to the original image. I'm just going to head down where we can see the variations are Strong in this instance. So quite a lot changes with our photo. We still get our monkey, it's now raining though in the Amazon, and we get quite a little bit of different poses from our monkey. So comparing this to the Subtle variations that you see here, a lot more changes happen in the variation Strong, but I wouldn't say that they're overwhelming by any means. And if we like any of these photos, and in fact, I kind of really dig this one on the upper left, I'll press U1 in order to enlarge that. One other thing to mention is Vary Region, and we're going to take a look at that in another movie.
