Thanks for the mention.

You are doing great! Remember to save the prompts you liked and keep making variations until you get the wanted result.

This way you will have some best prompts ready that match to the art style you want.

This is what i do ♥_♥! I have a big folder with tens of thousands of images and each of them have a prompt. I want to build a system to browse them hahah cuz it's getting hard. These shroomies for example come from a previous prompt I used to make mushroom houses.

:D I love that despite how much effort and time it took, it is something that you like. I hope to make more good images :)

I appreciate your appreciation.

Next time, if you want, add those smaller ones into your post as well. These did all turn out pretty amazing! Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to seeing more of your outputs. I'm sure you probably already know... but if you find images you really like and have access to the seed... You can keep up with and reuse the seed so you don't have too much of a variance on the next run.

I still don't know much about the influence of seeds. I do reuse seeds for the same prompt or variations of it, but for completely new prompts I've never tried reusing an old seed because I don't know if there will be any advantage to it. I tend to just leave things to work 20-60 times and grab the best results and make bigger and more detailed derivatives, I go for 15-30 of those and then post the best ones.

Do you know more about what the seeds do if the prompt is completely different?

The seed will keep a similar style to what you have previously seen as the results. So, if you do a completely different prompt, then you might get some similar primary features or a similar style, even though the prompt is different. You will have to play around with the prompts with a same seed. Like do three different prompts with a seed that has produced results you like prior to running your test runs.

Seeds, to me, are the biggest mystery of this whole process. I have no idea where the seeds come from or why using the same one creates some continuity in a baseline... but once you know, the same seed creates similar results... then whe you find good results, perhaps save that seed and try it out again on completely different prompts and see what you can come up with!

What a great style in terms of the model. The outtakes are brilliant, too. I've got so many models downloaded on my PC that it now gives me a bit of decision paralysis as to what I'm actually going to work with for any given idea that is flying around in my head on any given day.

Understand you... Some times few options to choose is better than a lot.

Personally I kinda disagree. I try all viable models all the time for prompts I like, and choose the model with the best outputs to test prompt derivations. It's not one or the other but always the best and most apt for the task. Some are good for backgrounds, some for anime characters, some for photorealistic characters, some for sci-fi, some for fantasy, etc.

Most of the time, though!

Sometimes I'd just like to go to midjourney because I want a fast image and don't care if it's got that perfect anime style or that perfect dark 60s photography feel. Which reminds me I wanna pay for midjourney but it's so expensive. Sadsad.

lucianaabrao 2 years ago

I need to pay for it too.
Accepting hive already? 😆
Good, understand, but i have some difficult choosing among too many options... But for different works is needed

I would but I don't do anything that justifies the expense :( I'm not a professional artist, and the cost of MJ is very high compared to my art income. I have never made more than what it costs in returns for art. Maybe if I get a good job later this year :)

Accepting hive already? 😆

Kinda! I have been on hive since 2017 and I have never browsed it much daily for content. I'm always going for places like Reddit where things are neatly filtered and rated by category & quality, and I follow some categories.

When the communities hit in, I had already gotten burned out of Hive, and I'm only now trying to come back, so it will take some time & effort to take in all the new things and learn to enjoy this way of browsing.

I hope I accept it and flourish into it soon :)

Maybe it's because I'm very patient (some people suffer looking at me willingly fail over and over hahah, or failing with me). I'm okay with losing a few hours in the process without anything good, just to know what doesn't work. I enjoy the process of seeing and filtering out all the failure to take out the few successes and roll with them to victory.

With SD, I pick around 7 models, I put my prompts there, I hit play on all of it, and it can take 30-50 minutes to finish, so I go and brush my teeth, wash the dishes, clean my room, then I come back and see which ones are viable. If nothing is, I try again with more prompts. Sometimes I watch Netflix while I wait, and 99% of the results get discarded. Some days I don't share any of the results I spent hours creating.

It sounds absolutely bonkers even to myself which is why I have stopped doing it as much as I would before (I spent months working more than 10 hours a day on this lol). Nowadays I feel like doing some cool creative posting so I'm doing a temporary exception, but in the long term I might either learn some time-saving tricks or go with Midjourney because spending 4 hours a day to get $5-7 if lucky per post is not a viable business idea :)

Understand you.

I used to purchase stock images for my jobs. Now, i still purchase, but sometimes i want a specific image that is hard to find. So, MJ help getting the idea out of my head. Otherwise i have to select similar ideas from stock images.

Yes, I always, always end up over producing images when using various prompts and compositional ideas.

Same hahah, I have so many thousands of discarded images. I don't delete them because I have like a dozen terabytes available but it's getting hard to even browse them or find the ones I want.

holoz0r 2 years ago

Adobe Bridge used to be great for culling images.

Hadn't thought of it. I thought it's paid software. It used to pop up all the time on my pirated copy of lightroom and I always ignored it for some reason, can't remember why, maybe I just didn't find much use for it? Idk. It was like 7+ years ago.
