🔮AI News This Week

Midjourney Inpainting

Midjourney launched the highly-anticipated inpainting feature called Vary (Region).

You’ll see the option under each upscaled image:

Midjourney Vary (Region) buttons

Vary Region lets you make changes to specific parts or regions of your images.

You mask the area you want to change and type a short description of how you want it to look. Then, hit the arrow beside the text box to generate a grid of 4 images with versions of the changed image.

I wanted to make the owl’s nose red in the first set and a red baseball hat in the second group of images below:

This tool could be helpful for several reasons:

  • Remove objects from images

  • Add or replace an element in pictures.

  • Creating multiple characters from a single image
