If you are using MidJourney I definitely recommend using images as part of your prompt, they can be really effective at describing something that you cant put into words
Here are some nice results for the prompt: https://s.mj.run/VLvsUn2Oukw mystic portal to infinity, gateway, gothic architecture, at dawn --iw 1.5 --ar 9:16

Well, as it is wednesday today…
Now back to modulars
So I was playing with russian AI and my friend said that something looks like “The lost Weather Report album”. I used this prompt on DALL-E mini and got this:
7th pic was really cool, so I decided to upscale it with another AI. And it is beautiful!
Well if I ever write a fantasy novel or prog rock album, that’s the cover sorted
It’s a bit literal when it comes to interpreting the Doors lyric “when the still sea conspires in armour”
At least Dall-E mini know what’s a Modular synth !
It is true that using images immediately brings richness to the generation. However, it is quite unpredictable. You’d think that it would have some effect on the colours, but look at the 5th source image, which is totally cold and rocky, while the result is very warm and woody.
We can even make a little game out of it 
Find the sources of the different generations. Well it’s not too difficult, as I left the images in order.
The first generation is without any image.
The first source image is the one used by dan. I also used the same seed as dan’s for all generations
Yes, great tool to make some covers.
i like the top right ones that sort of have a times square vibe to them
What’s max image resolution you’re getting? Can anything be animated or is output only in single stills? [with Midjourney]
those images above are a single upscale, you can do a 2nd upscale after that, but the final rez depends on the aspect ratio, at 4:5 i think the max rez is 1408x1792
currently mid journey is only stills, but they do have office hours sessions on the discord where users can ask questions and hear about new features being planned, i would imagine that video is probably on the timeline somewhere
edit: oh also, i forgot that instead of aspect ratio you can specify the specific height and width, so perhaps you can increase the max rez using those params
you can check out the basic documentation for mid journey here Quick Start Guide - Midjourney Documentation (see the part about the --hd param)
I did some tests with an upscaled (single time) image, where I upscaled that image to 3000x3000px, 300 dpi using On1 Photo Raw’s new AI powered resize module 
and the results were really good. I posted the examples earlier in this thread.
Speaking of using images to guide the image creation, I’ve been using Wombo’s Dream app (which is, I believe, far less sophisticated than most of the alternatives mentioned in this thread) to make portraits of me by guiding it with a simple monochrome picture of me.
Fun for making forum profile images and the like.
MidJourney is now in open beta so anyone can get in on the fun, here is the invite link: Midjourney go create loads of AI synths and show us your best… 
So can this newfangled widget make imagery that isn’t nightmare fuel?
