One needs to be aware that in Leonardo AI the output that you get is not only dependent on the prompt you use but also on the Models like Diffusion, Deliberate, Creative... You also have the ability to stylize the output with the sub-modeling Leonardo Style, Prompt Magic, and then there is also the various schedulers, of which there is a Leonardo scheduler. To also step up the look of the images you have the Image Prompt function which gives really fine details based on the images that you load into this area; which is also part of Prompt Magic; along with the Prompt and Negative Prompts one chooses. I've created some really impressive output, but it takes time to figure out what Models and related combinations will work best for particular prompt or for the style of art you are looking to generate.

As I am getting setup and this is the second viewing of this video, I thought I would comment. Much of my life has been in stage and film and, adding to complimenting the content and nature of this video, I also want to add that you have a truly interesting voice and persona, which ‘keeps’ one’s attention. A great quality. Good work.

Thanks Samson. Your sense of humour always shines through in your lessons. Great combo

[rogerbruce]

I love them both and feel they both have their own use cases

[Avalon]

To be honest as an artist I'm not one to care about the UI or the options Leonardo has, A1111 has probably more of them anyway, I'm all about the output and so far Midjourney is in a class of it's own, the model Leonardo Diffusion is on the right track but not quite there yet.

Here's A Summary -
00:00 🖼 Midjourney and Leonardo are compared in terms of user experience, interface, features, and pricing.
01:34 🧩 Leonardo has a visual interface, making it more intuitive and flexible, while Midjourney is accessed through Discord, limiting its UI options.
02:57 🤖 Leonardo offers multiple algorithms and the ability to create custom models, providing more diverse artistic styles and possibilities.
04:07 💸 Leonardo has a free option with 250 daily credits, while Midjourney offers three pricing tiers with unlimited generations in the higher plans.
08:44 🖌 Leonardo requires more specific prompts and negative prompts, while Midjourney is more forgiving and delivers aesthetically pleasing results with varied prompts.

Amazing comparison! But I proved I can get some realistic images with Leonardo compared to the Midjourney level. It's all about how you construct your prompts. Both have their pros and cons overall. I just wished Midjourney had a better UI among other things they lacked on. You can create the best photo in the world, yet struggle with the most simple elements to date. Things will get better and better with A.I nonetheless...heck before summer hits, we'll become blown away.

[Mooooty]

Leonardo is now only 150 CREDITS PER DAY!

enjoyed the video. but please disable your discord alerts when you start to record :)

[brucekennedy]

No question Midjourney is ahead in terms of finesse and more aesthetically pleasing results. But I've so far been put off by the whole Discord thing, meanwhile I dove into Leonardo which is so easy to use, and gets great results, even if it takes a bit of trial and error. Leonardo also seems to be constantly refining and improving as the SD algorithm develops (I think its got a lot better since the is video dropped) I know MJ is constantly improving too. If Midjourney changed it up to a nice interface like Leonardo's, I'd flip right away, or, as you mentioned, use a combo of both.

Thank you so much for your review. It was very helpful.

[bettinademiguel]

Thank you for this video. For a novice like me it was very helpful.

[chevyyyyyyy]

While I am disinterested in creating beautiful/handsome fantasy faces/portraits, I am singularly interested in further developing my own personal art by running my own, preexisting fine art images through an AI, perhaps Leonardo or Midjourney AI. So, would I be able to upload my own fine art images in Leonardo or Midjourney and allow it to give me permutations, variations, recombinants, elaborations, refinements, and/or improvements? This is my exclusive interest. IOW, not text to image but Image to Image.
OK, you addressed my concern about whether or not I could train Leonardo using my own images, but I am still leaving my question to represent perhaps other folks' interest.

[RVS]

I appreciate this review
I us mid journey and dislike discord. I use Dall-e 2 a lot because the interface is easier...I used CF spark when it came out but OMG lol multiple legs, eyes and badly cut off images... Once in a while I get a good section lol... I am going to try Leonardo I have nothing to lose. The more I try, the more I learn and the better my prompts become.
I want to use my own photos. I am good with manipulating in photoshop but I want to elevate my own photographs... Thank you.. I appreciate you and what I learned here. I am inpsired

[KolTregaskes]

Midjourney have mentioned in the past about a new UI but I feel like they want to get the model sorted with V6 and v7 first; 2 and 4 months from now respectively.

For Leonardo, I wish their home page showed more new top images like Midjourney's home page does.

Leonardo recently announced paid plans btw.

Was that your Discord I heard in the background or mine? Hehe!

[harikot.vert.]

Leo is now under paywall, 150 free credits (1 token minimum per gen -> 4-5) so Max 150 image, 5 cred per upscale, Only 1 Weird sheduler (leo shed) no steps ... It was good but since the update free tiers are quit bad ... !

[SamuraiG]

Midjourney makes awesome images but the UI sucks being limited in discord. Finding your image can be annoying.

Leonardo is much more controllable.

I do not mind more limited free trials but ones like mj d-id etc that give you one limited shot will never get money from me. I will reserve that for ones like Leonardo that let you play around for free.

[LukeJT]

Now that Midjourney got rid of its free version, looks like Leonardo is the way to go for free options.

[digidope]

I have been testing both and MJ5 sweeps the floor with Leonardo in all aspects. There is not a single image Leonardo could do better than MJ5. If you work hard enough, you CAN get Leonardo to look like MJ5, but not with people and not with wide aspectratios. Leonardo is still just a cut down version of A1111.
