When v4 of Midjourney was first released, the ability to blend images together with image prompts was all the rage. I honestly think this was mostly supported by the excellent default stylization in v4, which made it incredibly easy for anyone to do this. And as many people seemed to struggle with how image prompts worked, the introduction of the /blend made it so much easier.
But with v5 I sometimes feel that image blending has lost its allure. Especially because I don't find the initial results very convincing anymore. I'm not entirely sure why, but it might have to do with the lack of default stylization.
However, we now have additional tools at our disposal that allow us to use novel approaches to achieve similar things. And these are especially helpful when you're not dead set on getting something that looks exactly the same as your image references.
These novel methods are:
1. Blended Reverse Engineering
2. Multiprompt Image Blending
I'm sure some people have already tried this and are using these methods. But very few people are talking about them publicly. I think they are fantastic alternatives to classic blending because they not only produce crisper and more varied results. They also give you far more control, so you can fine-tune your images too.
I strongly urge you to check out this video. I think it will teach you to be more creative in your Midjourney workflows :)

Chiming in and echoing everyone’s comments - thank you so much Christian for eloquently articulating your process and for pushing things forward. I think I know things but then you come in with a new perspective. Really appreciate the work you put into educating and wanted to give you the encouragement to continue to do so. You are incredible.
Thank you so much for this comment 🙏🏻🤗
The best midjourney video I’ve seen, by far.
🙏🏻🤗
Blend is pretty amazing, the fact that you have no control and the result is a surprise is just part of the fun. My favourite images ever are a result of blending.
Yes, I partially agree. But it doesn't help when the image contains obvious flaws that aren't helpful for what I'm trying to create.
I use it with abstract portraits that I get from other platforms, and it is amazing.
The greatest video about Midjourney I've seen for a while. Finally, someone started to make content with real tips and tricks !
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
And people still say that it's "oh so easy to use Ai, and it's going to replace us". Look at how many steps this guy just had to do to get to the result he wanted. This is the "human" side, mixing and matching a bunch of techniques and methods to one or more AI tools. Really great video with lots of tricks and tips to achieve incredibly precise results. Thank you.
Yeah, creating art with AI is super easy. Just like you can get a randomly awesome photo by accident. But doing it with intent is a different story.
My stuff just increased in quality, thank you
Great to hear! 😀
Great video, Christian, keep up the excellent work
Outstanding - you're a talented and empathetic presenter. The attention you pay to simplicity, brevity and details (such as how you show the prompts) is soooo worth it 🏆✔
I try to present how I'd enjoy learning 🙂🙏🏻
Man, I love your channel so so much. It's helping me out a lot! Thank you so much for your time and effort to explain everything. Your explanations are so well structured it's so easy to reproduce everything in Midjourney.
Thank you for confirming that my approach is appealing to some people 🙂
One of the best Midjourney tutorials I've watched hands down......I feel like Picasso now. Lol
Hahaha, let's make some art!
This was the best tutorial in mid journey that I have seen. I had no idea that there was a describe prompt total game changer. Thanks.
When you know, you know 😉
You're a prompt scientist! The tests, experimentations and care in your videos is absolutely insane, thank yo so much for sharing your knowledge
Life is all about experiments 🙂
Ohhhh myyyy! Now I’m at work screaming and cussing at my phone in excitement and I look insane and I don’t care! 😂 this video helped me sooooo much! Thank you!!!
Hahahahaha, made my day 🤣
Just found your channel. Been using MJ for about two months and learned a lot just in this video. Your teaching style works for me. Just subscribed to your channel, email list, and course waiting list. I'll snag that as soon as you release it.
Awesome and welcome! 🤗
You're channel, this video, just took my MJ fun and skills to a whole new level!
Awesome! 🙂
This tutorial is exactly what I needed! I was stuck using /blend and couldn’t move forward. Thank you!
Glad I could help! 🙌🏻
Hey Christian, I just discovered your channel recently and it's my new favourite Midjourney resource! Great in-depth info, and really well explained.Thanks for everything you do.
Thanks so much 🙏🏻
Here is the prompt knowledge I need to manipulate Midjourney to produce what I imagine. Finally!
such a great video to understand how prompts work in midjourney! thank you for detailed and step by step explanation.
You have become my go to person for all things Midjourney. Never would have thought of this method of blending on my own.
Thank you. I appreciate comments like these so much 🙏🏻🙂
Great stuff Christian. This kind of brainstorming and working through examples really helps me increase my Midjourney skills
Brainstorming is key to progress 🙂
Great tutorial!! This opens up literally endless possibilities! Thanks!
Thank you so much! It's mind expanding.
these were great methods, that I started playing around with! thank you!
Yoor content never dissapoints. Thank you!
Thank you 🤗
As always BRILLIANT! So helpful. Thanks so much for taking the time to create this, and then sharing it :)
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing stuff! Thank you for sharing and teaching all these creative workflows. Kudos and keep the videos coming!
Thanks, will do!
Very interesting! Thank you, Christian!
Very Dope Alternative to just Blend. Your strategy is cool while allowing you to think outside of the box. Rhanks!
Glad you like it!
Great video! Appreciate the process driven design.
Incredible, thank you for the ideas
This was packed with useful information. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Very well explained, thanks
Some great tips there. I tried Blend when it first was introduced. Wasn’t overly thrilled with it, but now will have to have a try using these methods.
Hope you enjoy it!
Best MJ trick I've learned in a long time. Thank you, you're a genius 😊
Pleasure
Another great and inspiring video. Thank you so much! ❤
Thanks for the tips!
Super helpful. Thanks
I really like the last confirmation of the methods otherwise I was going to take the video to the beginning then watch again which is most of the time making me feel that I have a long learning curve 😢 and feel stressed...But you are really good at teaching and showing the new ways...This detail is my reason to subscribe and thumbs up to you 🎉 thanks
Thank you so much for your feedback. I just try to explain it the way I would want to learn it 🙂
The rabbit hole gets deeper and deeper. 🙂 Taking the art of synthography to higher levels. Great stuff 👍
Rabbit holes are fun and dangerous
one of the best videos I've seen about mid journey, prompt engineering and everything in between
you teach to think, not in ctrl c ctrl v
Thinking is such an underrated skill nowadays. ngl! 🤣
This is a rather interesting approach that you have come up with love the permutations that you were doing to create tiny refinements
Thank you! I thought so too, which is why I shared it 😁
WHOA! I have like 3 more tools in my toolbelt! Thank you!
You're welcome! 🙂
Amazing yet again Christian, thanks again for sharing your understanding of Midjourney...
My pleasure!
Thank you! professionalism and perfection!
Thank you 🙏🏻
You are the best of the best! Thanks a lot for sharing
learned so much and took notes, thank you
Glad you learned something 🙂
Christian!! I really apreciate the effort you put in all this videos!! thank you very much!! i havent found a video teaching how to correct images (like misplaced hands in a dragon or three legged horse) do you have any video related to that!? thank you again for everything!!!!
Wait for Inpainting
Great work. Real cutting edge application combined with creative problem solving. Impressive. TY.
Thank you very much! 🙂
This was really cool. Took a break from the consistent character series to watch this one! I will have to try that photobashing technique sometime!
I haven't even thought about how this might impact character creation 🙂
Yo that Mr. Clean reference was everything! 😂your videos are 🔥🔥
Haha, glad someone noticed 😂
Thanks for the great tips! Love your work.
Thanks 🙂
Thanks, great vid. Very clear explainations and great examples.
Amazing stuff! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
My pleasure!
Wow, you rock man!! This is very useful to me as a web designer, thanks for sharing!! You deserve five stars ⭐️
Glad it was helpful! And thank you for the tip. Gonna try this on web designs too 🙂
Thank you for all this information. Definitely going to add these to my workflow in MidJourney. 🤘🏼
Go for it!
Wonderful sharing, thank you!
And this thing let's say to me... "we have not enough imagination to describe an actual our world image" and we need a machine. But the result... remain FANTASTIC, SPLENDID.
Excellent video. Lost of info without fluff. Saved for later. Subscribed and liked. Cheers
Lots of ***
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you 🙏 Such good tips and pedagogically put forward too. You're a 🌟

Thank you for helping us to become better creators! Your amazing! Bravo!😊
You are so welcome!
This was really helpful!! This is going to help make some interesting art in midjourney! Thanks so much!!
Glad it was helpful!
great insights, thank you 🙏
Great content as always, Christian!! Another interesting thing is that we can also use the link of some of the images you got the description for and feed it into the merged prompts! There are really infinite ways to keep on producing images until we are satisfied with the results!
Yup, I agree 🙂
Soon this will all be considered part of a possibility space you can scroll through with sliders in real time.
Hey I just wanted to say I can see the effort you've put into your set and your look. All freshly shaven etc. It's noticeable and I've noticed the effort you've put in. Well done. It's looking great and more professional. 🎉
Keep up the great work!
Ironically, I've not really done anything in particular regarding the "set". I'm just in a different location right now and need to work with what I have 😅 But if it looks good, then that's great. Thanks 😁
Ottimo, è una modalità che stavo già sperimentando anch'io appena MJ ha proposto /describe, ciao e grazie
Thanks Christian - excellent content! 😀👍🏽
Thanks 🙂
Super creative and way to think outside the box!
Thank you 🤗
eres el mejor,, graciasssss por tu generosidad al enseñarnos
Great content, Chris! Thanx so much
Pleasure 🙏🏻
I Love this channel!! I gave a comment, liked it, and Subbed!
Thanks for subbing!
i adore your way of explaining things
Thank you 🤗
Midjourney turns us all into frustrated magazine feature editors.
lol, why?
Great idea. Thanks for the insights in this video
My pleasure!
this is an amazing tutorial. thank you!
You're welcome!
Thanks Christian ! Great Video ! Even Carla Caruso would be proud of it ! 😀
Haha 😅
It was great! thanks for the video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really excellent! Thanks for the brilliantly delivered, useful info!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the video. Not sure David Hasselhoff would appreciate the Midjourney image of him as an old Spidy man, LOL! Still very cool!
David needs all the attention he can get 🤣
U rock. Thank u so much!!
This is absolute Gold.
Thanks
Great method ! Great learning ! Thanx !
You are welcome!
Thank you, I’ve learned a lot!
Excellent!
this was genius. Thanks :)
thx, really good tutorials!
I would like to add some tipps from my experience: for the describe feature I can recommend trying all four prompts and check the results instead of just picking what you expect to fit best. Often its not the prompt that I think matches well that in the end gives me the closest results.
And in your second method for the white staircase you could try to mention it twice in the prompt with the higher weight. Sometimes it helps to get closer to the result you had in mind, but not always ✌
Yes, I've done this too. I actually mention this. But it takes too much time for this type of video format.
very informative. thanks
Thisis a big help. Thank You
You're welcome!
So simple but never even crossed my mind! Brilliant. Question though, is you’re on V5 in /settings do you still need to use -v5 in the prompts?
I do it intentionally, so that viewers know what version I'm using. This is quite important because the videos keep being watched, even when a new version of MJ has been released and it cam get confusing for people.
WHOA! Thanks!
this is an amazing video, thank you :)
You're so welcome!
Thanks for this insight on how to use MJ to get better than average results.
You bet!
As always, an excellent video. Of course, you're getting the hang of it! . Thanks Christian.
🤗
I always like the way you explain it. Starting from pouring the idea into a prompt, then executing it into a picture, then how do you solve the problem if the resulting image is not what is expected, which part of the prompt must be adjusted so as to produce a final image that is satisfactory, close to what is expected, or even better. I learn a lot from your videos. Thanks!
Life is all about problem-solving. Unfortunately, most people think there's a silver bullet for everything.
Very nice pro tips! 🎉
Glad you think so!
You are a hero::2 Thank you::1
Thanks 😁
useful methods, thanks a lot!
You're welcome!
... gr8 video! much appreciated!!
Pleasure!
You are brilliant, thanks to your video I am now able to create two different consistent characters in one image with a consistent background!
I’m curious how you got two different consistent characters in one image. MJ always seems to blend the characters together. Thanks I’m advance
Fantastic!
@@davidmichaelcomfort first picture shows my scene with random people. followed by the picture of my two consistent characters and the last picture shows the results
@@davidmichaelcomfort it was a very long journey to get these pictures. and this video gave me the key for these results.
1. describe each picture with midjourney
2. and the weighted :: gives the ability to add (in principle) >2 characters to the pictures.
@@christians.8963 Thanks! To clarify, you (1) generated first image with two random people, (2) two images with one consistent character each, (3) use describe to get text prompt for each of the three images, (4) combine all three prompts into a multi-prompt with different weighting. Is this correct?
One tip I can share to get consistent characters is to use an actor/model/public figure’s name to get consistent character across images. E.g. “[model name] as a medieval prince”. This works much better than using image prompts or seeds or other techniques. I can get a consistent character in pretty much every image I create. It is two consistent characters in one image which is really challenging.
Thanks again!
Great job thanks
Well done, Christian. There is, I believe, a typo in your subscriber count. Clearly, you should be at 4.36 million! Thanks for the excellent tutorials.
Haha, I wish 😅
