AI Guide

Many people have heard of Midjourney and Stable Diffusion – tools that generate images based on text requests (prompts). They do the task that would take an illustrator at least a day, in seconds or minutes (depends on the load).

Good prompt query is the key to success. Prompt libraries and generators, and, of course, experience help.

Midjourney

First, check out Midjourney' Discord https://discord.gg/midjourney?ref=dtf.ru
(you have to have a discord account to use it).

On the Midjourney server select any channel from the NEWCOMER ROOMS section.

In the selected chatroom, type "/imagine"

Write a text description for the desired picture

It generates 4 previews of the image. To improve the quality of the versions you like, click the buttons below: select the successful version U1-U4 to scale it (left to right), or create new versions of it V1-V4 (also left to right).

Before entering the prompt, you can scroll up a bit to see what prompts for the pics you like the most look like: what additional words and formats to use.

You can generate 25 pics for free, then the bot will offer a subscription.

Stable Diffusion

This is the most recent AI image generator as of today. Check it out by the link

Here's the same prompt with a unicorn swimming in a crater on Mars, as the one we used for Midjourney.

If you add just a couple of words - anime magic 3D, the result changes to this:

Let's add the word "Realistic" to the previous one:

Just like with Midjourney, you have to learn how to write proper queries. You google for prompts or prompt generators.

And yes, Stable Diffusion plugins for Figma and Photoshop are also available now, so it's super easy to use.

Generated.Photos and
This Person Does Not Exist

Instead of scouring stock sites for suitable face, create it using Generatedphotos. It can generate a portrait of a person according to given requirements.

It's already used by the BBC, Forbes, Daily Mail, and many others.

For example it generated this photo for "a happy young Latina girl with dark long hair, brown eyes, natural look".

To use it, register on the site and then pick "Browse photos" - to generate several pics according to chosen criteria, or "Generate a photo" - to be more specific with a single photo.

Among the generation criteria you can find: age, skin color, eye color, hair color, emotion, ethnicity, hair length, etc.

"Generate a photo" offers more options. Emotions can be - happy, neutral, surprised, angry, frightened, and so on, while in "Browse photos" you can choose only neutral or funny emotion. You can also have lips makeup and glasses.

Here, for example, you can see an angry white boy
