 Hello everybody welcome back to another mid-journey tutorial and this one gonna show you how to achieve excellent photo realism. Some people call it hyper realism, some people call it ultra realism, photo realistic. I'm gonna show you how to do it and it's really just one prompt with a few things that you need to maybe mess around with. And to show you that I can cook and do what I say I can do here's an example of a shot I just did up here of this Viking looking lady and I've got a whole bunch of other ones here we've got some redo's up here like here's a little girl here the Viking girl pretty realistic if you ask me and then not only that now let's see another one here this one's pretty good I'm gonna even show you how to make it even more realistic inside Photoshop it takes about 30 seconds once you're done so the trick to the prompt is really just this forward slash imagine and then you type in the subject so in this case portrait of a Viking man in this case we're gonna do a Viking man then it's colon one that means prompt weight or text weight of one we're assigning it a one this isn't quite necessary but once you start playing and tooling around with it you'll want to have these weights in here hit spacebar natural lighting oops if I could just spell lighting colon colon one okay good hopefully you're following along with me now we want to do a descriptor are they smiling are they angry are they frowning in this case we're going to go smiling colon colon one these are all weighted at one of course and then I'm just going to keep going natural features colon colon one we just want them to look natural we don't want anything you know fancy going on with their face now we're going to determine the lens in most cases I like to use a 35 millimeter lens so it's space 35 mm lens space lens colon colon one and then we're going to global illumination colon colon one so we want the light to be sort of applied all over the shot not just on any particular area of the shot we're going to do an uplight for those of you that are photographers you'll understand this one we want uplight colon colon one and then we're going to go space dof that means depth of field so we want some blur in there in the background so we want the the the foreground in the background to have a little bit of a definition and a little bit of blur in the background and then I'm going to go dof and then I'm going to go space space ar space 16 colon nine so we're doing a 16 nine aspect ratio that's what ar stands for and then I'm going to go dash dash q space two for we're going to do the highest quality we can and then you just hit enter and we're going to have our little thing go on here now this is going to come out quite nice but keep in mind that it doesn't always get it right the first time so you do have these options where you can make variations you can upscale it you can beta upscale it this one here is pretty close to perfect but you know what so be it let's see here what are we getting where are we zero percent okay so while that just cooks that one up I'm going to right click on this one and I'm going to save the image and I'm just going to save it to my desktop and I'm just going to not change the name and while it cooks up whoa it missed the whole portrait of a viking man part there on one or two of these here but whatever it ain't perfect like I said I'm going to go to my finder I'm going to go to my desktop I'm going to grab that image and I'm going to put it into Photoshop and what I'm doing the reason why I'm doing this is because sometimes mid-journey has one real issue and the issue is for for the photography it comes out really really sharp and what I mean by that if you look at these eyes in this case it's quite good but a lot of cases it almost looks like it's too like I don't know it's almost like it's cartoony because the colors are so saturated and they're so kind of shiny so what you can do and this is purely optional if you have Photoshop you just go up to you just drop it into Photoshop and then you go to filter and then we're going to go down here to where is it it is under blur and then we're going to go to the lens blur so we're just going to add a very small lens blur on this so watch this I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to change the radius to about six well actually we're going to go to about five or six on this one and then I'm just going to go ahead and I'm going to go ahead and just change that's it I'm going to go ahead and just change this to one and watch this it's a very subtle but we've just gone ahead and added in a slight blur on it so if I hit command Z you'll see the slight difference command shift Z very subtle but it's there so that is purely optional but that does get rid of some of the synthetic look that some images get anyways let's go back to we're going back here into mid journey and here's what we got so we got some really really good shots here holy smokes okay so this bottom right one is pretty good I mean actually they're all quite good if I'm being honest so I would just go on U1 U2 I would create NU4 I don't think the third one is very good and basically we're just upscaling or up sampling the first second and fourth one and that's it if you need to make changes you'll notice here that we put prompt weights in or text weights in all of them so if you want to change the natural lighting and you wanted it to be you know instead of a value of one maybe you want it to be of 1.2 because you want some more lighting or you think there should be more illumination or you think there should be less but really that's it I'm going to put the whole thing in the description below let me know what you think and thanks for watching
