Midjourney Try it →Watch full video →@GregIsenberg · Nov 2024

Demo summary

Using the Midjourney Editor's outpainting/expand feature to place a previously generated giraffe illustration into a framed mockup on a gallery wall.

Step-by-step

Open the Midjourney Editor
Adjust the aspect ratio to 16:9
Resize and reposition the original image within the frame to create space for expansion
Update the prompt to describe the new surroundings, such as a white gallery wall and light pine wood floor
Remove any existing Style References (sref) to avoid style conflicts
Add '--style raw' to the prompt for a more photorealistic result
Click to run the generation

Options

Expand the frame upwards to provide more vertical space
Scale the subject smaller to prevent it from appearing to touch the floor

Watch out for

Existing style references (sref) can fight against your new prompt instructions during outpainting

Tips

Use '--style raw' if you want the output to lean more towards a traditional photorealistic style
Make the subject smaller within the editor frame to ensure the floor and environment have enough room to render properly

Highlights

“now we're cooking now we're at the moment baby”
