-: All right, let's talk about Midjourney out painting.
And it's not actually called out painting
and Midjourney's called Zoom out
'cause they like to do things differently
or panning is another kind of version of this.
But it's very similar to what you can do
in Dali called "Out painting"
or the the disabled diffusion out painting extension
as well in automatic 1111.
The way out painting works,
if you've heard of in painting,
it's in painting but outside of the frame.
In painting would be if you wanted to change
that building or you want to change
who was sitting at the bench.
Whereas out painting is if you want to generate outside
of this image but keep this whole image the same.
So I'm just gonna show you the quick
and easy way, which is zoom out.
So if we wanna see what's happening outside of this shot
of this woman on the bench,
we could click zoom out.
We don't even need to put in a prompt
and it's gonna generate something here.
So you can see it's working and it,
what it does is it just adds frame around the image
and then generates with the same prompt.
And you can see it is keeping that center
of the image the same but it's zooming out essentially
and keeping it consistent with the rest of the image.
And this is a really great feature.
It works very well out of the box
and I would say this is the easiest way to do it.
In Dali, you have to go
and add these generation frames
manually in stable diffusion.
It doesn't work that well to be honest,
in my experience,
unless you're using maybe stable diffusion Excel
with a control net
and that can be pretty complicated to get working.
This just works right out of the box and it's really good.
But you can actually keep going with this,
you can keep zooming out if you want to.
First you need to upscale a specific image,
that one that you like.
So I like this one at the top left here
'cause it seems to have more flowers.
And then you just zoom out again.
So here I'm gonna do a big zoom out here.
You can also do a custom zoom,
which is, you can change the prompt itself.
And so in this case you could say yeah near the water
and then just see what it does.
It's gonna hopefully add more stuff to it.
You can notice as well that the zoom is really just,
it's just something that you add to the parameters
as you can say dash, dash zoom on any image actually.
And it will do it.
So you don't necessarily have to use those buttons.
And you can see here I've changed the zoom to 1.5,
so we'll see what that comes up with.
So this is what we're getting with the 2X zoom out.
So we zoomed quite far now
and we're getting some pretty interesting stuff.
So yeah, we're seeing a lot more images,
we're seeing a lot of nature,
we're seeing a lot of buildings,
et cetera.
That's I think doing a pretty good job.
And you can see that our bigger zoom,
our zoom next to the water is,
is you know, waiting to run now.
So while we're waiting for that,
I wanna show you some of the other things
that you can do in terms of panning.
Panning is these buttons right here.
And just like panning a camera,
you can look up, you can look down,
you can look left or look right
and what this does is basically it's the same as zoom out,
but instead of adding stuff all around the image
like we did before and like still keeping it square,
this changes the shape of the image.
So it adds a frame on the left but nowhere else.
So we're just gonna try that.
And then you can also submit something new here if you want
or you can just use the same prompt.
So we'll see what that gets.
Okay, so it looks like here it didn't add anything to do
with water necessarily.
We couldn't fit it into this image particularly well.
So maybe we wanna try that with our panning
and we can be a lot stronger so we can...
Or we can maybe get rid
of the sitting on a bench near the water
and it literally just put water
and see what that comes up with.
So interesting with panning is because
we kept using the same prompt here,
a woman sitting on a bench,
it's added another woman on a bench, right?
That's something to think about here.
We're panning left.
That is something to think about with Midjourney
and with in painting and out painting in general,
you wanna decide whether to keep the same prompt
or to modify it specifically for that selection.
And so you can see here that we have,
in this case, we have another woman
that's sitting on a bench here.
But like the nice thing is that we have now,
we actually have a wide angle shot.
So we're actually changing the aspect ratio.
This could be a really good way to,
instead of just always generating square images,
we could get panoramas
or we could get portrait pictures,
whatever it is we want.
So what I'm gonna do
is I'm gonna upscale version three here
and then we're gonna pan up
and we're gonna change the prompt specifically to see this.
We can also, oh yeah, so here we go.
So we're panning right at this pan
and we're gonna say instead of a woman sitting on a bench,
you could say a lake in a nice park
in Manhattan surrounded by skyscrapers.
And obviously you can do a lot more prompt engineering here,
like you can mess around a lot more with this stuff
if you need to, but we're just keeping it
simple for the sake of it.
The other thing you can do here is you can click make square
and that will then make it square again
and then you can do more stuff if you need
to from the make square button
that once this image is square again
that's gonna add some extra bit on the top and the bottom
and the right then,
then you can access more of the features again.
So you can see here it's done its best to add in a lake,
which is very nice
and I think it's done a pretty good job here too.
All right, so that is Midjourney out painting.
And the pan pictures, again,
it's a relatively new feature.
It's been out in the past month or so,
so it's still experimental.
Still a lot of people are trying it and seeing what works.
I think it works pretty well outta the box.
It's probably the easiest way to do some
of those viral photos that you've probably seen
where people take a image
of the Mona Lisa and then Zoom out.
If you did wanna do this on an existing image,
you'll find that you probably just need to generate...
You need to upload that image and then put the URL in here.
Let me just try and do that for you guys
just to show you that workflow and say,
if you want to say upload this image,
then click on it, then you want to copy the link
and then you want to just put that in the prompt.
(keyboard keys clacking)
Oh.
(keyboard keys clacking)
Okay, I'm getting an error there.
Copy link.
(keyboard keys clacking)
Okay, I'm just gonna put that in there.
(keyboard keys clacking)
Okay, just gonna put in the word extremely detailed
just because you can't prompt a version five
with only a single image,
so you have to add some text prompt to change.
I think it's just to help them avoid copyright issues.
So I just put in extremely detailed
that should help you get round it.
Okay, so once we have this image
and we can obviously weight the prompt
in different ways as well.
So we could wait extremely detailed.
As much lower or wait, the image is much higher.
If we want to, once we have an image uploaded,
so here I'm just gonna say U2,
Then we can do some in painting and
or out painting from here.
So then we can zoom out if we want to
and see what's outside of this alien attacking a house.
All right, so hopefully that gives you guys
a good understanding of what out painting is
and how it can be used.
It's extremely powerful
and Midjourney I think is one of the better tools
at doing it now as well.
So I think there's a lot to be used here,
although I would say I still doing a lot
of my out painting workloads on stable diffusion
and just iterating a lot with the parameters
and trying to get that right.
I haven't fully moved everything over
to Midjourney just yet,
but there's still some limitations in terms
of the flexibility and like what you're allowed to do.
All right, hopefully that's useful.
