Using Reference Images in Prompts If you’re not a native speaker (like me) or if you struggle with describing visuals–I have an awesome trick for you: using reference images in prompts. It's super cool and makes the creation process so much easier. All you need to do is find an image for Midjourney as a starting place for color, composition, lighting and subject matter. Then, insert the image’s URL at the beginning of your prompt. Extra Tips: 1. Use multiple images for even more unique results. 2. Pair your image with a detailed prompt for more precise creations. 3. Ensure the URL is a direct link to the image online, ending in .png, .gif, .webp, .jpg, or .jpeg (Right-click on the image and select “Copy image address”). 4. If you don’t get the desired result, don’t give up. Experiment with different references and prompts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c2c317d448f319d3e703d4/7755e1aa-f58f-42ec-83c6-4e592f6ddfd3/Midjourney_Tip_2.jpg Blog - Midjourney 101: Fast-Track to Stunning AI Visuals - 2. Blend Option Have a bunch of reference images and want to combine them? The Blend Tool allows you to merge 2-5 images–creating a unique and cohesive new visual by combining their concepts and aesthetics. Unlike using a single visual as a reference–Blend works without any additional description required–making it convenient for use on mobile devices. Simply use the ‘/blend’ command, upload 2 to 5 images, and get your result. If needed, specify the aspect ratio: default is 1:1, but you can choose portrait (2:3) or landscape (3:2) from the list. Extra Tip: use images with similar aspect ratios for the best results. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c2c317d448f319d3e703d4/fa8ffd91-c999-422e-866b-b2d68389f37e/Midjourney_Tip_3.jpg Blog - Midjourney 101: Fast-Track to Stunning AI Visuals - 3. Style Reference Feature If you find a reference image that perfectly captures the vibe and atmosphere you want in your art but has a different plot, don’t worry. Use it as a style reference. This allows you to maintain the aesthetic of the reference image while creating different settings and characters in your artwork. How to Use Style References: 1. Add Style References: Use the --sref parameter followed by the image URL in your prompt. 2. Combine Multiple Styles: You can add multiple style references to merge different aesthetics. 3. Adjust Style Weight: Use the --sw parameter to control the strength of the style influence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c2c317d448f319d3e703d4/d35f19f0-297d-4af0-b3eb-b7530f4c1dc2/Midjourney_Tip_4.jpg Blog - Midjourney 101: Fast-Track to Stunning AI Visuals - 4. Describe Feature If you are ready to generate something cool, but don’t know where to start, try ‘/describe’ command in Midjourney. It will generate 4 unique text prompts based on the image you upload. It helps spark creativity by suggesting detailed descriptions that can be refined and customized. Additional benefit: by analyzing the generated prompts, you can understand how to craft better prompts for your projects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c2c317d448f319d3e703d4/f399afd4-764d-4d4e-bd58-2c1c60b431de/Midjourney_Tip_5.jpg Blog - Midjourney 101: Fast-Track to Stunning AI Visuals - 5. Vary Region If you have a good initial result, but want to alter a specific area, there’s no need to start all over. Use the Vary Region tool–it allows you to refine selected areas your upscaled image to then re-prompt. Here's how to make the most of it: 1. Create and upscale an image using /imagine and the U buttons. 2. Click Vary (Region) to open the editor. 3. Use selection tools to choose parts to regenerate. You can also edit your promt at this point. 4. Submit your job and view the new variations. For best results, experiment with different selections and rerun several times. https://adwaken.ai/blog/behind-the-ai-tequila-heads monthly 0.5 2024-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c2c317d448f319d3e703d4/96d3e54a-6bd8-4377-9ab4-04b9e8f6cbba/AdWaken_AI_Tequila_Heads_Leonardo.gif Blog - Behind The AI: ‘Tequila Heads’ - 1 Leonardo.ai We used Leonardo.ai’s ‘Realtime Generation’ to rapidly ideate the spot’s imagery. Leonardo’s model, true to its name, produces results in realtime as the prompt is entered. Images can then be refined with their additional models or create 4-second ‘Image to Video’ clips. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c2c317d448f319d3e703d4/5578006b-5187-4659-892b-71c8b431ac17/AdWaken_AI_Tequila_Heads_Magnific.gif Blog - Behind The AI: ‘Tequila Heads’ - 2 Magnific.ai Once we landed on which images we wanted to transform into videos, we first brought them into Magnific.ai– self-described as “The most advanced AI upscaler & enhancer.” Their results were consistently better than just about every other upscaler we tried. Their sliders– Creativity, HDR, Resemblance, and Fractality– allowed for greater overall precision as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c2c317d448f319d3e703d4/e86c95ff-aaac-4324-af88-ad8ecd213ef9/AdWaken_AI_Tequila_Heads_Photoshop.gif Blog - Behind The AI: ‘Tequila Heads’ - 3 Photoshop Beta It’s best to remove those extra appendages before you take your image into video. Adobe Photoshop Beta has a whole suite of additional Generative tools that make the retouching process easier than ever before. These tools will eventually make their way into the default version, but why not buy stock early? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c2c317d448f319d3e703d4/114a0ee6-acf9-4949-a3a6-1604206e268e/AdWaken_AI_Tequila_Heads_Runway.gif Blog - Behind The AI: ‘Tequila Heads’ - 4 Runwayml ‘Image to Video’ generation is still very hit or miss. Sora experiments have given a very skewed idea of what can be accomplished with public-facing platforms. For this stage of the process, we ran each image through both Runway 2 and Leonardo.ai. It was a literal coin flip with results (as of April 30, 2024). Runway (hypothetically) allows for more camera and motion control, but the quality is very dependent on which random ‘seed’ assigned to “provide a stylistic starting point.” If you find one that delivers, save it! You can lock in your preferred seed on future video generations. Leonardo was better for creating more motion in a static frame. People would move their arms and legs more, without transforming into entirely new objects or people. *Updates happen so frequently on these platforms and their models that this information may only be relevant for the next 4 - 6 weeks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c2c317d448f319d3e703d4/52cccebd-1e16-47f0-af86-b01693bbeed6/AdWaken_AI_Tequila_Heads_Topaz.gif Blog - Behind The AI: ‘Tequila Heads’ - 5 Topaz Video Ai Topaz Video AI offers studio-grade video enhancement for fixing poor resolution, stabilization, motion blurs and more. It’s the most expensive of any of the platforms listed, but makes a big difference when starting with a 768x768px video. Topaz utilizes multiple models to accomplish its corrections and improvements. The render times are relatively quick for short clips. https://adwaken.ai/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2026-01-30 https://adwaken.ai/book-your-consultation daily 0.75 2026-01-30
