Midjourney V5 - How To Upload A Reference Image Or Art And Use As A Prompt - Detailed Tutorial

The video is a tutorial on how to turn an image into art using Midjourney version five (Midjourney V5). The instructor shows a picture of a lady and explains how to turn it into art by using the image as a prompt in the generation process. The tutorial demonstrates how to create characters out of pictures and art.

The instructor shows some examples of how good the generated images are compared to the original. The instructor then proceeds to show how to take the first step by grabbing the image and uploading it to Discord, then copying the link.

The next step is standard prompt engineering, and the instructor goes on to describe how to do this by typing in the prompt of what is to be generated, which in this case is "Lady reading a book." The instructor then copies the link from Discord and adds it to the prompt.

Before hitting enter, the instructor hits the spacebar and then pastes the link. The next step is to add image weight, which determines how much weight the original image will have in the generated art. The instructor wants the art to look as much like the original image as possible, so they add "-- iw space 2.0" to the prompt.

After hitting enter, the prompt is processed, and the instructor explains how to check if the settings are on version five. The instructor waits for the processing to finish and shows the four generated images that were created. The instructor then compares the generated images with the original image and shows how good the generated images look.

This worked!! Thank you so much for the demo, I had no idea how to do this. Those images you created are insane by the way, love it!

IMPORTANT! For all of you that had issues with finding Copy Image after right clicking the uploaded image - seems that in version 5.1 this is fixed. I still don't see the Copy Image link, but after opening the image in a new windows, right click and typing on Copy Image Address, it worked!

Thanks! Great video. The weight and commands make a huge difference. Best tutorial I've seen on YouTube on modifying existing images.

Thank you. At first when following I got an error message. Then I realized I had typos, or not exactly following prompt command line. Now it's working!

Thank you for this short and to the point video that just answers my question. You've got a new sub!

Hello, I'm trying to make a RPG character scanning a photo of my face so that it looks as similar as possible, but the result is always very different even using these parameters, what can I do?

Thanks for this. I'm subbed to Midjourney but haven't used it in a while. This will help me get the most out of it. Subscribed.

when i upload the image the url I get doesnt give me the .png at the end so it gives me an error when I hit the prompt

[Onikens]

Great video! Is there any way to upload an image into Midjourney JUST to get a look added to that pic? No other alterations but a cartoon filter added to the image?

[TOPTENTRAVEL]

When I right click on the image, I get a completely different command box popping up - I get the same little gray box that I would get clicking on any other image on the internet anywhere. I don't know why it would be different.

That's just what I was looking for! Thanxxx!!!

Hi Curtis, saw in your settings that you don't use the high quality (x2) option. Is there a specific reason for not using this since it makes the quality better?

[tuyalosabez]

Do you have any idea of how to do this in the mobile version on the smartphone?... Thanks

[bendertube]

didn't work for me. Do you have video or ideas how to change just few details about a photo?

[paulsmith]

Hell yeah, straight to it, no bs. Thank you

[virtuosityai]

This is insanely good! Thank you so much for this!

Hi I was getting this error message "Invalid link
Could not validate this link. Please try again later." What you have to do is click on the picture and click on " Open in Browser".
Then copy the URL from the browser.

Can you use multiple reference photos, or can you only use one?
