play01:22

groundbreaking new tools let's dive into

play01:25

our first tool the highly anticipated

play01:27

zoom out feature

play01:30

zoom out is mid-journey's version of out

play01:32

painting think of it as taking a step

play01:34

back from your image to get a broader

play01:37

perspective on your image zoom out can

play01:39

bring new life into tight shots

play01:41

expanding your frame for more context

play01:43

we've all gotten tight shots especially

play01:45

of people but now we can zoom out and

play01:48

maybe we can even see their feet

play01:50

with a single click you can zoom out 1.5

play01:52

times or two times depending on how much

play01:55

extra space you want around your subject

play01:58

use 1.5 times when you want just a

play02:00

little more space around your subject

play02:02

use 2x when you want to see more

play02:06

can you zoom out again absolutely in

play02:10

version 5.2 you can zoom out again and

play02:12

again and again

play02:15

you'll be surprised at how far you can

play02:17

go

play02:18

and zoom out Works in any aspect ratio

play02:23

and if you don't like the details

play02:25

just zoom out again from the original

play02:27

image and you'll get a different context

play02:30

the buttons make zooming out easy but

play02:32

you have more zoom options

play02:34

need just a tiny bit more space around

play02:37

your image click the custom zoom button

play02:39

a familiar remix box appears and you can

play02:42

fine tune the zoom anywhere from one to

play02:44

two times

play02:46

you can use 1.2 times or 1.75 times and

play02:51

while you're here you can adjust the

play02:52

aspect ratio

play02:54

zooming out changes the elements in the

play02:56

frame but it doesn't change the actual

play02:58

image size images in version 5.2 are

play03:01

1024 by 1024 pixel Square no matter how

play04:09

make square is another exciting feature

play04:11

that we weren't really expecting it's a

play04:13

variation on zoom out with one click

play04:16

your rectangular image is now a square

play04:18

mid Journey doesn't crop in it crops out

play04:21

in the process mid-journey fills in the

play04:24

missing details in the extra space

play04:26

play04:31

got a landscape and you'll get more on

play04:32

both the top and the bottom of your

play04:34

image

play04:36

now you have a square that you can crop

play04:37

in or click custom zoom and change the

play04:40

aspect ratio

play04:43

the best part you don't have to be using

play04:45

version 5.2 for the zoom tools to work

play04:49

create something in version 5 and you

play04:51

will still be able to zoom out or go

play04:53

back and upscale an older creation the

play04:56

new Zoom tools will show up it doesn't

play04:58

matter what version the original image

play04:59

was created in

play05:02

turn on the remix mode and you have even

play05:04

more options

play05:06

if you haven't used remix before go to

play05:08

the message bar and type slash prefer

play05:11

remix and hit enter

play05:15

with remix turned on click the variation

play05:17

button and type the parameter dash dash

play05:19

zoom and a number between one and two at

play05:22

the end of your prompt

play05:23

the zoom parameter may not work well in

play05:25

remix yet but you have a fresh image to

play05:28

work with and the zoom tools appear

play05:31

under your image

play05:34

but what if you want to zoom in and get

play05:36

up close and personal with your images

play05:39

well we don't need mid-journey AI for

play05:40

that use a cropping tool there are lots

play05:43

of free photo editing programs out there

play05:45

like Pixlr or jump into Photoshop with a

play05:48

few clicks you can zoom into your

play05:49

heart's content emphasizing those

play05:51

details that make your image Stand Out

play05:53

zooming in will make your image size

play05:55

shrink a bit but when you're showcasing

play05:57

your work online that's not usually a

play05:59

big deal

play06:02

but Zoom isn't the only tool mid-journey

play06:04

drop we're all familiar with making

play06:06

variations of an image we like click the

play06:09

V button under your image and a new set

play06:11

of similar Creations appear

play06:14

the remix mode lets us change things in

play06:17

the variation but sometimes you may want

play06:19

to change things a little bit and other

play06:21

times you want to change things a lot

play06:24

with version 5.2 you now have more

play06:26

control over your variations now you can

play06:29

choose the strength of the variation

play06:30

choose a strong variation or high

play06:33

variation mode for significant changes

play06:36

or subtle variation or low variation

play06:39

mode

play06:40

for much more minor ones

play06:43

for images created in version 5.2 subtle

play06:46

and strong buttons appear underneath

play06:48

your upscaled image

play06:50

subtle changes Minor Details and look

play06:52

very similar to your original image but

play06:55

strong will change your image in a much

play06:57

more substantial way and you can keep

play06:59

varying the images until you get

play07:00

something you like

play07:04

but how do these new variations work

play07:05

with remix let's try a little experiment

play07:08

if I adjust the image subtly without

play07:11

using the remix option the tool delivers

play07:13

quite well but if I try to remix an

play07:16

element like giving our feline friend

play07:18

here bright blue eyes

play07:20

remix wipes out the image's original

play07:22

charm

play07:23

strong remix variation shows some

play07:25

promise

play07:26

while our cat looks quite different the

play07:28

result is still a bunch of impressive

play07:30

images

play07:32

if you find yourself using subtle or

play07:34

strong variations more than the other

play07:35

you can change it to a default in your

play07:37

setting type slash settings in the

play07:40

message bar and click low variation mode

play07:42

for subtle variations and high variation

play07:45

mode for strong variations

play07:50

now to the real game changer the tool

play07:52

that you didn't even know you needed the

play07:54

tool that may just change the way you

play07:56

prompt forever

play07:57

thus shorten command

play07:59

this feature was designed for creators

play08:01

who use long prompts it shows you which

play08:04

warrants majority pays attention to and

play08:06

which one it ignores wait what yes the

play08:09

AI is a bit like my cat it ignores much

play08:11

of what you say

play08:14

simply type slash shorten into the

play08:16

message bar and copy in your prompt

play08:19

you'll get a look into the mind of the

play08:21

AI

play08:27

click show details and you'll get a

play08:29

mathematical breakdown of how much

play08:30

weight mid-journing places on each word

play08:32

and yes sometimes that weight is zero

play08:35

it turns out that the AI is simply

play08:37

skipping over a lot of the words

play08:40

and that's not all mid-journey suggests

play08:42

five shorter prompts focusing on the key

play08:45

words each prompt is shorter and more

play08:47

concise than the last

play08:51

the format looks a bit like the slash

play08:53

describe tool output

play08:55

clicking on one of the prompt choices

play08:57

brings up a remix box

play08:59

you can change any part of the prompt

play09:02

or add some parameters

play09:06

can you get a similar image with fewer

play09:07

words yes and mid Journey helps you

play09:10

choose your words

play09:11

are all of the shorter prompts better

play09:13

well that I'm not so sure about the

play09:15

really short prompt strips out all of

play09:17

the important style words

play09:19

but seeing how the AI is looking at the

play09:21

words can only make us better prompters

play09:27

mid Journey 5.2 is more than just a

play09:29

version change

play09:30

also gave us some new tools that will

play09:32

completely change your workflow

play09:34

no more heads cut off or missing feats

play09:37

zoom out and capture the whole scene

play09:43

and when you almost get the image you

play09:45

want you can change it a little bit or

play09:47

you can change it a lot

play09:49

version 5.2 is looking pretty good the

play09:51

vibe is different and overall the images

play09:53

seem sharper and more diverse

play09:57

want to use another version 5 as your

play10:00

default simply open your settings and

play10:02

choose version 5.1 or version 5 instead

play10:06

mid Journey has given us plenty of room

play10:07
