Midjourney introduces a new feature that takes on Adobe Photoshop’s Generative Fill. This is the latest addition to this renowned AI art generator. This innovative addition, dubbed ‘Vary (Region)’, empowers artists and designers by allowing them to handpick an area within an image and employ the text-to-image generator to fill it. The resulting artwork retains its flexibility within the canvas.
The generative AI platform has already achieved status with its ‘Vary (Strong)’ and ‘Vary (Subtle)’ features. It drops hints of potentially becoming an AI-driven substitute for Photoshop. Since its unveiling in May 2023, Generative Fill has garnered recognition for its large impact on photo editing. Now, Midjourney is causing a stir with its latest tool.
Generative Fill pits Midjourney against Photoshop
It was made known on the Midjourney server, that the tool becomes accessible under upscales. A click triggers an editor window, enabling users to modify specific areas of an image. By entering “/settings” and choosing ‘remix mode’, a text box appears within the editor for refining prompts further.
Midjourney offers advice and help on how to maximize the potential of this feature. It excels when applied to larger image regions, spanning from 20% to 50% of the total image size. For subtle adjustments, ‘Vary (Subtle)’ is recommended. Effective prompt alterations are those that harmonize with the existing image content, avoiding jarring disparities.
Experienced users of Generative Fill will identify parallels between Adobe’s flagship feature and Midjourney’s unique take on inpainting. If you’re seeking guidance on utilizing Generative Fill in Adobe Photoshop, a simple research can help you with that.
However, it’s important to note that ‘Vary (Region)’ isn’t without limitations. As of now, users cannot upload their personal content. Despite this restriction, its release marks the next chapter in AI art. It follows Adobe’s introduction of Firefly, their response to competitors like Midjourney and Dall-E.
