-: And let's continue
to go down this rabbit hole of prompting.
So we can also tell Midjourney
the quality that we're looking for,
because you have to imagine
that it's pulling reference photos online,
and it has certain words that are attached
to the images that it's pulled.
So images like a landscape, it then looks at,
you know, let's say 100,000 images of a landscape,
versus images of a landscape with the words HDR
or 4K are gonna look a lot different aesthetically
because people uploading those images online
with words 4K attached to it
are getting a much more modern, high pixel resolution,
and overall sharper image than images from the past,
which could be photos or paintings even of past landscapes.
So if we go through and we try this,
so we're just gonna keep this super simple
and we're gonna say red car driving down the street.
Okay, and I'm gonna copy this.
And it's gonna output a red car.
But then we're gonna do the same thing, comma, 4K,
which is gonna tell it the resolution style
that I want it to mimic.
It's not gonna make the image a 4K image,
but it's gonna take all of the 4K related images
that have been attached to that term
and apply that look and feel to my image.
And we're also gonna put in HDR.
HDR, it's a bit beyond the scope of this course,
but it's a multi-exposure photo
that's taking an image at a low exposure,
a regular exposure, and a high exposure,
and combining those in post-production
to get a really cool aesthetic.
This is gonna take out
any of the more cartoon animated style
that the majority of these first images have.
So if we look at the references,
we have this style, and these look really nice.
They look more detailed, they look more realistic,
and these have a great artistic quality to them
that we changed by adding reference keywords
that kept the same subject, which is our red car,
but completely updated the aesthetic.
And so simply put, you can just see
the outputs are completely different.
Even though we're keeping our subject, which is the red car,
we're changing the final look and feel with the output.
So key words are absolutely imperative to use.
Highly detailed is another type of quality words
similar to 4K or photorealistic or hyperrealistic
that we can use to tell Midjourney to be less creative
and to be more specific on what reality looks like
versus what a cartoon or an animation would look like.
So if you're going for that hyperrealism,
these quality words are really important to use.
That leads to other key words
like using the word professional.
I can use the word bestselling photograph,
I can use the word award-winning photography,
and it's gonna drastically change our final image.
So let's see an example of this.
And at the beginning,
I wanna keep all of these prompts simple.
So we're gonna say beautiful landscape
with mountains and trees.
Okay. I'm gonna copy this prompt.
We're gonna type that in.
And we're gonna add a key word, or key words technically,
award-winning photography.
And what Midjourney is gonna do
is it's gonna take all of its photos
that relate to a beautiful landscape
with mountains and trees,
but it's gonna modify the final output
with all the photos that it has in its memory banks
of award-winning photography,
which is going to bring up the professional level of it,
the realisticness of it, and other more subtle things
like the framing, composition, editing.
All of those things will be improved to mimic
the way an award-winning photographer's final output
would look like.
So let's look at this.
We have our beautiful landscape with trees and mountains.
And it looks awesome, super creative looking,
and each image is honestly really unique.
Now, if we go to the award-winning photography, boom,
you can instantly see that now the image is reminding you
of photos that you've seen for, let's say,
National Geographic, Discovery Channel,
or any other kind of online places
where you see great nature photography.
So it does an excellent job of mimicking
so many different styles.
And that wraps it up for going through the prompt book
that I wanted to share with you
as a great learning resource to use as a glossary
and really a place where you have a lot of great prompts
to pull from to create unique looking art.
In the next lesson, we're gonna dive even deeper
into using prompts.
