Blending images

“

- [Instructor] In a previous video, we took a look at how we could upload an image to Discord and combine that with a text prompt so that Midjourney produced new imagery. We even looked at how we could give a weight to the image versus the text, so we could have either the text or the image have more influence over the final result. The cool part is, is that you could also do this by referencing a web link. I'm here on unsplash.com. This is a free resource where you have a number of commercial and non-commercial photos that you can use in projects. I'm going to do a search here for Whitehorse, Yukon, and I'm going to scroll down just to the free section until I find something that I like. And I like this photo right here. I'm going to select this photo, just so that we could see it large, and before doing anything else, I just recommend reading about Unsplash's copyright so that you make sure you have the use cases in order to do this. Now, what I'm going to do is right-click or Control + click this photo, and in this instance copy the image address. Now that that's copied, I'll head over to Discord. Now in Discord, in my private direct message chat with the Midjourney bot, I'm going to enter the slash key, followed by imagine. And I'm now going to paste, by pressing Command + V or Control + V on a PC, the photo link. I'll follow that with a space. And I'm going to type in with the northern lights at night, followed by a comma. And let's use that aspect ratio command that we used last time, --ar followed by 16:9. I'll press the return key, Midjourney will get to work and give us four images of this photo combined with the northern lights at night. Okay, so these are the images it produced with no defined weight. And if you need a reminder, you can always just click on the link that you posted inside of Discord to visit the site and see the original photo. So that was the original photo. And again, our results here in Discord. I kind of like the one in the upper left-hand corner. I'll click on the U1 button in order to enlarge that. Now, since the time of this recording, Midjourney is now on version 5.2, so you're seeing a lot of extra controls, which we're going to get into in a few subsequent movies. But that is how we can take an image link combined with a text prompt to create imagery inside of Midjourney.
