-: All right, let me teach you about permutation prompts.
So this is something you can do in Midjourney,
which is really cool.
And there is a equivalent
of something you can do in Stable Diffusion as well.
You'd have to kind of code it yourself.
But just so you understand,
let's give this a go in Midjourney
because they have this kind of built in.
So what I'm pasting in here is the prompt.
So if you can't see here, let me zoom in.
Stock photo, oil painting, and illustration.
And these are all in these curly brackets.
And what that's gonna do is it's gonna
generate multiple prompts.
So it's gonna generate one with stock photo,
one with oil painting, and then one with illustration.
And then the rest of the prompts kind of keep going.
So it's gonna have a stock photo of a business meeting,
an oil painting of a business meeting,
and illustration of a business meeting.
And then I have another permutation here,
which is four and eight people.
So I'm gonna get to see basically a full grid
of what these look like.
What is it?
Yeah, how interesting is it
if it's an oil painting versus an illustration
versus a stock photo?
And does it look better with four or eight people?
So I hit Enter and it recognizes I'm doing permutations.
It says, are you sure you wanna make
six prompts for this template?
So the reason it's six is there's three permutations in here
and two permutations in here.
Three times two is six.
You can actually see the prompts,
so it shows you what it's generated here.
Then you can click yes or no and you can edit the template.
So lemme just click yes.
And here we go, boom, boom, boom.
It's firing out six jobs.
So obviously be careful here,
if you have a bunch of these things,
it's gonna eat up all of your resources.
Like you have, I guess a limited number
of images you can generate.
So just be careful, but yeah, like this is fine.
We're only generated six permutations.
So these are all generating at the same time,
which is helpful.
And you can see that it's processing them all
and then they're all gonna come through hopefully soon.
So you can see there's one stock photo of a business meeting
of four people and then this is the same thing.
Stock photo of a business meeting with eight people.
And then you have oil painting of a business meeting
with four people and then oil painting
of a business meeting with eight people.
So it's gonna kinda keep going
and we'll just see what it comes back with.
Here we go, so it's done three of them,
it's generating three more.
So let's see what it has so far.
Yeah, it's generating a few more, waiting to start.
So here's what we have so far.
We have eight people in a stock photo,
so that's pretty cool,
and that gives us a certain sort of vibe.
And then this is four people,
but with an oil painting, I really like this.
I think this is beautiful.
This is really cool.
And you can upscale whatever it is you want.
This one's still generating.
What else do we have?
Do we have any others that are finished?
Oh, here we go.
We have four people in a business meeting
in the stock photo.
So you can start to compare this.
One thing you can do is actually can kind of
upscale them, download the images,
and then show them more on a grid.
I think that that's quite helpful way to see it.
Like if you're making a presentation for a client
or for your boss or you just wanna see it visually yourself.
Of course we have a few more that finished.
So we have four people in a stock photo.
We have eight people in a stock photo,
and then we have oil painting of four people.
That's my favorite so far.
Oil painting of eight people.
So you can see it's really different.
Showing eight people is
I think worse than four people in this case.
And then here's the illustration.
So illustration of eight people
versus illustration of four people.
So very consistent.
And the really useful reason you would do this
or the reason this is really useful I think is just that
you can see a lot of these things side by side.
So you can basically spam out a bunch of different
parameters that you were thinking about
and then just see how that affects the prompts.
Gives you a much better idea of
what it is about the prompt that's making the style,
making the image look good.
And you can map out a bigger universe
of what it is you want to explore.
So really, really helpful.
I highly recommend messing around with this.
Permutations is the name of this feature.
