in this video we will take a detailed look at the mid Journey's new image editor update new image editor allows us to edit external images which are not generated by m Journey meaning we can inpaint resize and even crop external images via new editor additionally we have a new feature called retexture when you upload an external image it scans the underlying structure shapes and proportions of the original scene you can then apply new style colors patterns and details based on your prompts while ensuring that the initial scene remains intact this feature is currently open for
limited amount of users in order to access it you need to have at least 10,000 images generated it's also open for people with yearly memberships and people who have been monthly subscribers for the past 12 months here you can see one particular example where they uploaded an external image and they edit a flly well to the scene here's another example from a real scene in us they uploaded this external scene and added this metallic Circle here let's test this out together I'm clicking on next and there's terms of service I'm accepting it and clicking on
start creating this new image editor is placed on the left hand side under edit button there are two options you can upload an image from your computer or you can upload from a URL I will upload the photo of my dog Loney and we will edit it little bit it's an external image it's not generated by mid Journey you have two sections in the editor one is edit and second one is retexture so it says retexture will change the contents of the input image while trying to preserve the original structure we will test this out
but first let's start with edit this is the usual mid Journey image editor that we tested before but there are some new things here first of all you can crop images now I clicked on move and resize I pulled the handle here and I think I still need to add a prompt and I clicked on download image but it didn't download it I think we need to First reimagine it I click on submit edit it says starting so image generation user interface is also looks a little bit different here now we also see percentages okay
now now it's cropped basically but I needed to write the prompt again for future probably for cropping they can just allow people to use these handles and download the image without trying to reimagine it this is probably one thing to improve in the future because I was a little bit confused I thought I can just crop the image but I understand now that you need to reimagine First next thing is we can erase elements in our image so I can change price size and I will get rid of this back here because it's not necessary
in our scene and I will just write the same prompt and I will hit edit so this should Now erase this back from the scene which is reimagining okay and it's gone so there are also few other options you can choose the one who looks most natural I think first option is the best now let's have fun little bit okay now I'm going to choose this part and give lony some cool sunglasses a dog with cool sunglasses sitting on a sofa I will also add my personal style with d-p the person my personalization code which
it tend to be much more realistic it's not really illustrative so let's hit submit edit and we are expecting now to see sunglasses that lony is wearing it has this cool animation of kind of like this changing color okay that's pretty awesome now lony has some sunglasses pretty cool and it's yeah it's a realistic looking one as expected now let's l a t-shirt right I selected the upper part and I wrote a dog wearing a t-shirt with text I love poop she has cool sunglasses and she's sitting on a sofa let's submit edit all right
t-shirt is here the the text is off unfortunately Lo poo so text didn't quite worked out well but t-shirt is um looking realistic and perfectly nicely adjusted only the text is problem maybe we can fix that so if I choose here all right so I choose the text and I use the exact same prompt but I couldn't get the text that I was hoping now as always we can change the aspect ratio so let's make this one to one so we can actually test the expand feature as well so I will just like resubmit the
same prompt and I'm expecting that we will have a cool expansion of the same scene here all right so we we got the EXP and there are few options that we can choose this one looks the best for me and with this image you can do multiple things you can upscale this image to your gallery so it will upscale this image then full quality version of your image will be edit to your gallery or you can just simply download it and use an external upscaler I'm going to download this it's done and let's try retexturing
I addit steampunk style photo of a do to the beginning of my prompt I sub it added this R icon meaning retextured all right so now we have the results so it made it with the steam P colors almost like a a photo filter maybe this looks really steampunky and let's also try so I wrote dog wearing a t-shirt with text I love poop with complete steampunk outfit she has cool steampunk sunglasses and she's sitting on desert let's hop at this one and see what happens all right so we have our images we got kind
of the the desert scene and steampunk glasses okay so this looks pretty cool and this looks a little bit strange but it's really steampunky and it's also changes the the color of lony the same prompt I just specified the color of Loney that's cool that's much better the prompt box is extremely sensitive so you really need to specify exactly that what you need or all right this one is pretty funny so I will download this okay and if you click on edit again you can see where you left so you can come back to where
you left directly with a single click and you can see all edits you generated and of course obviously you can start editing a new image next use case I want to show you is product photography the first time in M Journey you can upload your own logo or custom illustrations and create product photography with it let's upload my cyber jungle logo and I'm going to expand it to one: one make it little smaller and place the logo to the center and I'm going to write printed on a leg Mark and I will submit edit it
didn't worked out quite well as I was expecting that it would place the logo on the mark and I realized while reimagining it changes the logo quite a bit so this didn't work out I also try product photo cyber jungle logo is printed on a black mark ready for e-commerce let's submit this one okay guys unfortunately this use case is not really working or maybe I couldn't figure it out but yeah it would be actually a great use case because many people were always asking like to upload their custom logo to their product photos in
mid journey and this this is a huge use case let me know down in the comments that if I miss something and hopefully uh they will add this feature because this would be really fantastic okay next use case is around architecture so I will upload this image of a wooden chair in an empty room we have now also suggest prompt option which is using the underlying describe engine that they have and when I click on it it will suggest will automatically populate the prompt box based on this image so we have wooden chair in the
corner of an empty room with a sunlight Shining through the window blah blah this saves time and I think it's it's a really good idea that they edit this here it's just maybe suggest prompt should be somewhere closer to prompt box um probably ux can be improved here but nevertheless it's a good feature I'm going to choose this wooden chair now and update my prompt a shiny metallic chair in the corn of an empty room I hit submit so simply chair looks same the same size shape perspective everything same just texture changed now it looks
more metallic oh I will try something else so I want to have a green furry cushion here this one looks quite furry so I will stick with this one and now let's use retexture and try to make this scene a night scene instead of a day so I updated my prompt little bit I added Moonlight shining through the window in a night scene so overall it's a dark environment and I removed the the bright environment from my prompt let's submit retexture and see what's going to happen Okay interestingly it's got definitely darker it's a darker
scene I'll say maybe this comes close this looks like also an evening scene and now we have the Fury Green cushion much more visible you can see especially in this one pretty good so let's make it not an empty room but of a jungle room with full of wild plants okay interesting um it put the jungle outside maybe we are conflicting with minimalist space okay I mean it's definitely not mid Journey's fault because there were some extra parts where I didn't realize it was conflicting it came close to what I was imagining and now let's
go crazy and make everything latex I will just say a latex chair in a room made of latex so everything's lat LX okay we have the latex latex chair it's there the room is okay maybe this one also looks latex it's pretty fun look at this so we can also add a sty reference here you don't have to only add your personalization code you can also add the sty reference I have this sty reference code I saw online it's it's pretty illustrative and it has nice colors so I will submit this with the star reference
wow look at that yes made it more rative it's less less realistic now took the style reference from the code I entered pretty impressive another test I'm going to ask it to suggest prompt because I don't want to lose Time by writing mie seene catic shot of Kate winland okay is an exotic pirate Captain I edit its nighttime with visible stars I switched to retexture and I edit its night time with visible stars let's run this and see what happens okay it changed seene tonight definitely but it also changed our character to prevent that we
probably need to use also character reference I uploaded the same image here and I will choose this as a character reference and submit retexture again and see that if it is going to keep the character more consistent hm well I would say we we still lose little bit of the original characters look these are all different characters so it's diff difficult to say that the character reference was quite effective what would happen if I would submit this as a regular edit we go back to this image and choose the face and I have my character
reference I submit edit oh no well this looks not that great okay we we lost the original character's face well this was the first test and hopefully this video was truly helpful for you we will continue playing with this image editor and explore further and don't forget to give this video a thumbs up if you found it helpful and make sure to subscribe for more in-depth tutorials if you want to learn more about AI creativity click here
