This course will cover advanced commands in Midjourney, such as cref, sref, and seeds, to create characters and achieve consistent character design. It will then explore advanced tools, including AI upscaling technologies and programs like Magnific AI, as well as their applications. Finally, the course will demonstrate how to refine projects using Photoshop.
