  1. just loving this and the potential is awesome- however stuck in limbo as Discord never sends the verification code it requires to actually get in to it and Midjourney. Any tips on how to get round this would be greatly appreciated.

  2. Just wondering, AI creating a starting point “image that was created.” On a technical legal advertisement image licensing. How are these images are royalty free? Clients would like to know where the images came from. How can someone (production artist) call out images? How can you convince the agency/ studio the part of the work was created by AI, and the other 20% was finesse by the artist. I see this “ Junior designers“ from creative agencies might use this. Might be a issue. The Junior Artist might use this on a non-artist expression, but more as professional advertisement work.

  3. Thank u for these tuts!! Very helpful! I think u touched on this, but if we create a prompt, and then we try several trials of variations and the like, but I like one version and want to add to just that, by using the original prompt – how do we do that again. I saw you click on the smiley face in the video to do so, but it didn't seem to be the way. I am in private mode as well. Many thanks in advance!!

  4. love your streams (even though the jazz drives me crazy sometimes – yes as a 42 yo man who listens to many different genres i actually hate jazz xD)
    much love from austria

  5. Midjourney charges a premium for a beta build that is dependent on Discord and it has had a lot of down time. I could only render 3 images today and I pay $50 a month…do the math, not worth it

  6. Thank you for the demonstration. Have you found any filter combination that would get rid of MidJourney dither pattern because I find I can recognize a MidJourney render almost immediately because of the pixel pattern of the noise

  7. Shouldn't Midjourney be illegal to use if you are not an artist? Counting that, it is stealing all the art that artists are doing and giving it directly to the hands of the clients. So artists don't get paid, their art is stolen, and also the job opportunities.

    Why are we allowing this? It is stealing from years of practice, learning, money and time that artists spent on themself.

    I can't really understand, please help.

    but don't say that AI will be never able to replace humans, because humans have emotion etc. it is literally stealing what humans make and mixing it.

  8. I see the question about ownership of generations a lot like the "if I upscale someone elses generation do I own it"… Something to keep in mind, at least for artists in the USA, is that copyright law at this point in time doesn't actually give you any ownership of an image 100% AI generated. So by default you own NOTHING you make on Midjourney by itself, regardless of what MJ says. What you need to do is additional manual work, IE real art, after MJ before you can assert a copyright on it. Like the work Scott is doing here, though it doesn't need to be that elaborate.

  9. Great tutotial! Thanks. Please do more, we are in the middle of the AI revolution and everyone is trying to figure out how to come up with something that adds value before our art is totally taken over by the machines! 😉

  10. Great tips! I've been using PS for a few years now, and I'm still learning new tools and possibilities. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and love.

  11. I want to see more of these videos, really getting inspired by them! I love hearing ppl complain about Freq.Sep. It's the most powerful tool if used correctly.

  12. 1:04:04 – Is it really, though? Touchup, when applied to people, seems disingenuous to me. Photography is about capturing what we see, but I can't even look at magazine images anymore because of how synthetic and fake the people look. At that point, why not just make perfect plastic people in Blender? NOTE: this doesn't apply to your work here because it is stylized and surreal. I'm talking about traditional photography.

  13. What a fabulously informative tutorial, in many many ways. One of your "asides" is a special gift for me. It answered something I've always wondered about: What's the difference between a brush's "Flow" and a brush's "Opacity." Your explanation begins at [50:39]. Thanks for this video, Scott.

  14. Great video.
    Cool to see your Spacemouce, not a lot of people had or know they exist.
    I didn't find many Blender related videos on the channel. I would love to see what you create there.
    Your explanation on the AI's are very helpful.

  15. All your work looks like midjourney now..

    What's more valuable in your eyes, something made with skill, patience and soul or something that is like paint, in a bucket with holes in it, hanging from a rope, spinning over a canvas to make some (every one else has seen it done on you tube or done it themselves and know how easy it is so not impressive) Art?

  16. I like just playing your live streams in the background while I edit midjourney photos. Love the music, it's super relaxing. And you aren't SuPeR ExCitEd in your tone of voice so it's perfect to chill to and pay attention to here and there <3
