Keywords

💡Reference Image

A reference image is a visual file, such as a photograph or a digital illustration, that serves as a guide or inspiration for creating new content. In the context of the video, reference images are used to guide the AI in generating new images that are similar in style or content to the reference. For example, the script describes how to upload a reference image to be used as a prompt for the AI to create variations of a specific image.

💡Mid Journey

Mid Journey appears to be the name of the AI tool or software being discussed in the video. It is likely a platform that allows users to upload reference images and generate new images based on those references. The script mentions 'Mid Journey' as the tool that provides results after uploading a reference image and applying a prompt.

💡Upload

Uploading refers to the process of transferring a file, such as an image, from a local system to a remote server or platform. In the video script, uploading is a crucial step where the user is instructed to upload a reference image to the Mid Journey platform to use as a basis for generating new images.

💡File

A file, in the context of digital technology, is a digital container for data, which can be text, images, audio, video, or other types of information. The script instructs viewers to navigate to their files and folders to select an image file to upload to Mid Journey.

💡Copy Image Address/Copy Link

Copying an image address or link involves duplicating the URL of an image file. This action is necessary when users want to share or use the image in another platform or application. In the script, after uploading the image, the user is instructed to copy its address or link to use in the AI tool.

💡Prompt

In the context of AI-generated content, a prompt is a set of instructions or a description provided to the AI system to guide the creation of new content. The script describes how to write a prompt, such as 'the elastic image woman, bioinformatician working on her computer,' which the AI uses to generate images.

💡Variations

Variations refer to different versions or iterations of a base image or concept. The Mid Journey tool, as described in the script, can generate multiple variations of an uploaded image based on the provided reference and prompt. The script mentions selecting different variations, such as V1, V2, V3, and V4.

💡Upscan

Upscan, as used in the script, seems to refer to the process of enhancing or improving an image, possibly by increasing its resolution or quality. The script mentions U1, U2, U3, and U4 as options for upscanning an image, which suggests different levels or types of enhancement.

💡V1, V2, V3, V4

These terms, as mentioned in the script, likely represent different variations or versions of an image generated by the AI tool. They are used to denote the sequence or the specific version of the image that a user might want to view or select.

💡Upscale

Upscaling an image refers to the process of increasing its size or resolution without losing quality. In the video, after selecting a variation of the image, the user can upscale it to get a higher quality version. The script describes clicking on 'YouTube' to upscale the selected image.
