So now what if you wanna make your own 01:34.230 --> 01:35.520 stock photos with AI? 01:35.520 --> 01:40.170 Well, the way you would do that, let's find one 01:40.170 --> 01:41.520 of the images here. 01:41.520 --> 01:44.790 So like, this one's kind of the closest to what we wanted. 01:44.790 --> 01:47.700 And I'm gonna click in here. You can see the artist. 01:47.700 --> 01:51.000 So it has like a lot of views, right? 01:51.000 --> 01:52.950 It's free to use under Unsplash license. 01:52.950 --> 01:57.060 So this is where I would say I'm not a lawyer, right? 01:57.060 --> 01:59.970 Like you need to kind of figure out 01:59.970 --> 02:02.160 what your own risk profile is. 02:02.160 --> 02:06.300 But from my understanding, 02:06.300 --> 02:07.440 all photos can be downloaded 02:07.440 --> 02:09.990 and used for free for commercial or non-commercial purposes. 02:09.990 --> 02:13.290 No permission needed, although they do prefer attribution 02:13.290 --> 02:16.590 and they cannot be sold without significant modification. 02:16.590 --> 02:19.260 So I would say, you know, 02:19.260 --> 02:20.970 kind of using, like retraining 02:20.970 --> 02:24.180 and making a new photo that looks similar, 02:24.180 --> 02:27.540 but using AI is a significant modification. 02:27.540 --> 02:30.150 Although I wouldn't do this, right? 02:30.150 --> 02:31.920 Like I wouldn't create like your own, 02:31.920 --> 02:33.330 competitors to Unsplash. 02:33.330 --> 02:34.880 That probably wouldn't be cool. 02:35.910 --> 02:38.310 And I think in general you could probably give 02:38.310 --> 02:39.810 attribution to the artist, right? 02:39.810 --> 02:41.340 Like they deserve it. 02:41.340 --> 02:43.770 So I'm gonna show you how to kind 02:43.770 --> 02:47.430 of replicate the same look and feel, but with, 02:47.430 --> 02:49.230 but you know, kinda make it look your own 02:49.230 --> 02:51.840 and then you own the license, right? 02:51.840 --> 02:56.550 Like you don't have to worry about, you know, 02:56.550 --> 02:58.080 like attribution necessarily. 02:58.080 --> 03:00.930 If you if you do make it considerably different 03:00.930 --> 03:03.240 and modify it with your prompt, 03:03.240 --> 03:05.700 but also, you know, it looks unique, 03:05.700 --> 03:07.320 your blog doesn't have 03:07.320 --> 03:09.030 that same problem of like everyone using 03:09.030 --> 03:10.620 the same stock photo. 03:10.620 --> 03:14.010 Cool. So few things that I wanna point out. 03:14.010 --> 03:16.080 So one is you wanna really see 03:16.080 --> 03:18.060 what the meta description of the images. 03:18.060 --> 03:20.730 So I just right clicked and go went to inspect. 03:20.730 --> 03:23.850 And then, so this is the image. 03:23.850 --> 03:26.733 And then just gonna click in here, 03:27.810 --> 03:30.510 just gonna drag this across. 03:30.510 --> 03:32.583 Oh, back up. 03:35.070 --> 03:37.680 Okay, let's drag this across 03:37.680 --> 03:40.440 so that there's the image. 03:40.440 --> 03:41.790 Let's right click inspect again. 03:41.790 --> 03:44.580 Okay, this is the image and here we go. 03:44.580 --> 03:46.320 So here's the alt tag. 03:46.320 --> 03:49.960 So we click in here, it's four people watching 03:51.270 --> 03:52.500 something on a MacBook, right? 03:52.500 --> 03:55.307 So I'm gonna put in here imagine 03:55.307 --> 03:58.687 and then the prompt 03:58.687 --> 04:01.200 "Four people watching a white MacBook on top 04:01.200 --> 04:03.330 of glass top table". 04:03.330 --> 04:04.317 So that's gonna generate it 04:04.317 --> 04:06.780 and you can actually just say like what you want, right? 04:06.780 --> 04:09.510 I want a stock photo of people in a business meeting. 04:09.510 --> 04:12.600 And it does like a pretty decent job of that anyway, 04:12.600 --> 04:14.250 although that looks a bit gloomy. 04:15.360 --> 04:17.370 So all that is generating, 04:17.370 --> 04:20.070 the other thing I'm gonna pull out here is the camera. 04:20.070 --> 04:23.190 So I think like that's kind of useful. 04:23.190 --> 04:24.720 That's quite interesting. 04:24.720 --> 04:27.240 There's other metadata sometimes. 04:27.240 --> 04:29.670 So you know, you can just press up 04:29.670 --> 04:31.772 and then you'd say, 04:31.772 --> 04:34.807 oh in the prompt, 04:34.807 --> 04:39.660 "camera", and then you could say like 04:39.660 --> 04:42.450 you actually want it to be a business meeting 04:42.450 --> 04:45.390 of four people and then you want it 04:45.390 --> 04:46.640 to be like a stock photo. 04:48.570 --> 04:52.260 Cool. So, you know, we're just kind of using this to 04:52.260 --> 04:55.740 get into like the baseline and kind of figure this out. 04:55.740 --> 04:58.200 You know, not all these are great, right? 04:58.200 --> 05:01.920 But we're getting a little bit closer. 05:01.920 --> 05:03.600 This one looks like more interesting, 05:03.600 --> 05:05.400 but the faces are a little bit weird 05:05.400 --> 05:08.970 and this one's facing away, so that doesn't make any sense. 05:08.970 --> 05:10.920 Cool. Here we go. This is getting better. 05:10.920 --> 05:12.900 Because we called it stock photo, 05:12.900 --> 05:15.720 it's looking a lot more interesting. 05:15.720 --> 05:17.280 So that seems to be helpful. 05:17.280 --> 05:18.780 And we also put in the camera here, 05:18.780 --> 05:20.850 so I think it'll kind of change the style. 05:20.850 --> 05:22.260 Like we wouldn't have some of these like black 05:22.260 --> 05:24.570 and white things or like this... 05:24.570 --> 05:27.690 Here we go. So look at that. That is much better. 05:27.690 --> 05:30.060 Okay, so like, this is almost there. 05:30.060 --> 05:31.590 Some of the faces are a bit messed up. 05:31.590 --> 05:34.020 This is pretty good, you know, 05:34.020 --> 05:39.000 and they don't look very happy. 05:39.000 --> 05:44.000 So maybe we'll try one more thing here, which is... 05:44.130 --> 05:45.963 Oh, cancel. 05:47.010 --> 05:51.993 So let's, instead, let's say I'm gonna do this prompt, 05:54.810 --> 05:56.940 but then we're just gonna do a negative prompt. 05:56.940 --> 05:59.760 We're going to say no unhappy. 05:59.760 --> 06:01.383 So that's gonna make them happy. 06:02.340 --> 06:04.530 Yeah, you could also just say happy, but 06:04.530 --> 06:08.280 like, you know, I think there's, you know, 06:08.280 --> 06:11.190 different ways you can mess around with this. 06:11.190 --> 06:14.010 So that's... while that's generating, 06:14.010 --> 06:17.100 there's also another way you can kind of do this. 06:17.100 --> 06:19.563 And I think this is like a little bit dicier, 06:20.430 --> 06:22.780 but you know, I'll show you anyway 06:24.450 --> 06:27.750 because you know, it's really up to you to decide. 06:27.750 --> 06:29.583 So I'm just gonna paste in. 06:30.600 --> 06:34.770 Lemme see. So if you copy image address, 06:34.770 --> 06:37.620 see if this works and pasting the prompt, 06:37.620 --> 06:39.420 then you can say it's got a photo of 06:40.259 --> 06:41.592 business meeting 06:45.650 --> 06:48.503 of four people, blah, blah, blah. 06:51.900 --> 06:56.250 Okay? And then what this is gonna do is 06:56.250 --> 06:59.190 it's going to use that image as the base image. 06:59.190 --> 07:01.320 So again, you are transforming it. 07:01.320 --> 07:03.540 I think this is a little bit... like if I was the artist, 07:03.540 --> 07:05.610 I'd be a little bit -- off if I found someone 07:05.610 --> 07:07.350 was doing this unless like the image looked 07:07.350 --> 07:08.580 really different. 07:08.580 --> 07:11.010 So I think that's the key is like, start with the alt text, 07:11.010 --> 07:12.600 start with the image maybe, 07:12.600 --> 07:15.660 but you know, make it look your own, right? 07:15.660 --> 07:17.610 Like it needs to be something that's your own. 07:17.610 --> 07:20.040 You can kind of mimic the look and feel and the style. 07:20.040 --> 07:24.030 But you can see here, I mean, this didn't work very well, 07:24.030 --> 07:25.503 that's kind of weird. 07:26.700 --> 07:30.090 So I guess getting rid of unhappy doesn't work as well. 07:30.090 --> 07:32.820 Okay, here we go. So this is a lot better, 07:32.820 --> 07:35.340 this is like much more what we wanted. 07:35.340 --> 07:38.673 So, you know, we're getting a little bit closer, 07:39.523 --> 07:42.870 but you know, it doesn't take a long time to do this. 07:42.870 --> 07:44.880 Sometimes it's quicker than, you know, 07:44.880 --> 07:46.680 than all the searching through stock photos 07:46.680 --> 07:49.440 or, you know, it's definitely quicker than searching for, 07:49.440 --> 07:51.270 you know, like licensing 07:51.270 --> 07:54.450 and like you just pay once for a Midjourney a month 07:54.450 --> 07:56.010 rather than paying a huge amount of money 07:56.010 --> 07:59.460 for licensing a bunch of photos. 07:59.460 --> 08:03.240 Again, you know, this is a gray area, like this isn't, 08:03.240 --> 08:05.790 you know, there's no rules around this 08:05.790 --> 08:07.830 that anyone's figured out yet. 08:07.830 --> 08:09.690 So I would say use your good judgment. 08:09.690 --> 08:13.470 Don't just blindly copy someone else's photo like this. 08:13.470 --> 08:16.080 You know, this isn't actually what I wanted anyway. 08:16.080 --> 08:18.930 I wanted something more like this, right? 08:18.930 --> 08:19.763 Cool. Okay. 08:19.763 --> 08:22.260 Hopefully, you know, use your good judgment and, 08:22.260 --> 08:24.420 and if you do, then you have really unique, 08:24.420 --> 08:29.250 interesting looking stock photos that nobody else has. 08:29.250 --> 08:32.280 And once you develop a style, then you can kind of 08:32.280 --> 08:34.230 keep using that prompt again and again. 08:34.230 --> 08:35.583 So really, really helpful.
