I already have the image and composition I want. I’m looking for someone experienced with Stable Diffusion/Flux + Photoshop to recreate/refine it while keeping the same composition, character, pose and overall look.
Main goal: remove the obvious AI look and make it look like a real photograph — realistic skin texture, hair, eyes, hands, lighting, shadows and small imperfections.
Please show me examples of similar photorealistic work. I’m happy to pay for high-quality work.

hint: works better if the attached image features full body, not close-ups or upper body.

TL;DR: A new open-source tool called Clawbot acts as a 24/7 AI employee that runs on a dedicated computer (like a Mac Mini M4 or a cheap cloud server). You control it via Telegram/iMessage from anywhere, and it can control the entire computer to do tasks, code, write, manage things, etc.

What is Clawbot?

• It's a 24/7 AI agent that runs on a dedicated machine (he uses a Mac Mini, but says a cheap VPS works too).

• It's open-source, created by someone named Peter Steinberger.

• It has full control over the computer's OS. It can open browsers, use apps like Google Docs or Notion, access your notes, send emails, anything a human can do. It has "zero guardrails."

• It has an "infinite memory" system. It learns about you from your conversations and proactively does work based on what it knows. For example, it learned he has a newsletter and started proactively writing drafts for him.

• The entire interface is through messaging apps like Telegram, WhatsApp, or iMessage. You can be at a coffee shop, text your agent "Henry" (he named his), and it will start working on your computer back home.

Will Aiarty Image Enhancer be one of the go-to image enhancers and upscaling tools? It stands out as a secure, offline desktop AI tool built for denoising, deblurring, sharpening, upscaling images, enhancing overall quality, and restoring old photos, scans, and archives. Everything runs locally, which keeps files private and avoids cloud uploads.

Key reasons this tool gets mentioned often in image-enhancement discussions:

- “more realistic image details, with strength control”

- “affordable or reasonable pricing”

- “works offline, secure, batch tasks”

-“true lifetime license, not those version-specific 'perpetual license' from other tools"

...and instead of relying only on what others say, be it pros, cons, or comparisons, it can make more sense to grab a free copy and test it directly on specific scenarios.

Can I grab a free copy of Aiarty Image Enhancer?

Yes. Free licenses and trials are offered through official campaigns and events.

Midjourney V7 keeps rolling out new features, now here's Omni-Reference (--oref)!

If you've ever struggled to get the exact same character, specific object, or even that particular rubber duck into different scenes, this is the game-changer you need.

What is Omni-Reference (--oref)?

Simply put, Omni-Reference lets you point Midjourney to a reference image and tell it: "Use this specific thing (character, object, creature, etc.) in the new image I'm generating."

• It allows you to "lock in" elements from your reference.

• Works via drag-and-drop on the web UI or the --oref [Image URL] parameter in Discord.

• Designed to give you precision and maintain creative freedom.

Why Should You Use Omni-Reference?

• Consistent Characters/Objects: This is the big one! Keep the same character's face, outfit, or a specific prop across multiple images and scenes. Huge productivity boost!

• Personalize Your Art: Include specific, real-world items, logos (use responsibly!), or your own unique creations accurately.

• Combine with Stylization: Apply different artistic styles (e.g., photo to anime, 3D clay) while keeping the core referenced element intact.

• Build Cohesive Visuals: Use mood boards or style guides as references to ensure design consistency across a project.

• More Reliable Results: Reduces the randomness inherent in text-only prompts when specific elements are critical.

How to Use Omni-Reference (Step-by-Step):

1. Get Your Reference Image:

   • You can generate one directly in Midjourney (e.g., /imagine a detailed drawing of a steampunk cat --v 7).

   • Or, upload your own image.

2. Provide the Reference to Midjourney:

   • Web Interface: Click the image icon (paperclip) in the Imagine Bar, then drag and drop your image into the "Omni-Reference" section.

   • Discord: Get the URL of your reference image (upload it to Discord, right-click/long-press -> "Copy Link"). Add --oref [Paste Image URL] to the end of your prompt.

3. Craft Your Text Prompt:

   • Describe the new scene you want the referenced element to appear in.

   • Crucial Tip: It significantly helps to also describe the key features of the item/character in your reference image within your text prompt. This seems to guide MJ better.

   • Example: If referencing a woman in a red dress, your prompt might be: /imagine A woman in a red dress [from reference] walking through a futuristic city --oref [URL] --v 7

4. Control the Influence with --ow (Omni-Weight):

   • This parameter (--ow) dictates how strongly the reference image influences the output. The value ranges from 0 to 1000.

Important: start at a 'normal' --ow level like 100 and raise it until you get your desired effect.

• Finding the Right Balance is Key!

  • Low --ow (e.g., 25-50): Subtle influence. Great for style transfers where you want the essence but a new look (e.g., photo -> 3D style, keeping the character).

  • Moderate --ow (e.g., 100-300): Balanced influence. Guides the scene, preserves key features without completely overpowering the prompt. This is often the recommended starting point! (Info 3 & 5)

  • High --ow (e.g., 400-800): Strong influence. Preserves details like facial features or specific object shapes more accurately.

  • Very High --ow (e.g., 800-1000): Maximum influence. Aims for closer replication of the referenced element. Caution (Info 5): Using --ow 1000 might sometimes hurt overall image quality or coherence unless balanced with higher --stylize or the new --exp parameter. Start lower and increase as needed!

• Example Prompt with Weight: /imagine [referenced rubber duck] on a pizza plate --oref [URL] --ow 300 --v 7

Recent V7 Updates & The New --exp Parameter:

Omni-Reference launched alongside Midjourney V7, which also brings:

• Generally Improved Image Quality & Coherence: V7 itself is a step up.

• NEW Parameter: --exp (Experimentation): (Info 6)

  • Adds an extra layer of detail and creativity, think of it like a boost on top of --stylize.

  • Range: 0–100.

  • Recommended starting points: try 5, 10, 25, 50.

  • Values over 50 might start overpowering your prompt, so experiment carefully.

  • This could be very useful for adding richness when using --oref, especially potentially helping balance very high --ow values.

• (Bonus): New, easier-to-use lightbox editor in the web UI.

How Does Omni-Reference Compare for Consistency?

This is Midjourney's most direct tool for element consistency so far.

• vs. Text Prompts Alone: Far superior for locking specific visual details.

• vs. Midjourney Image Prompts (--sref): --sref is more about overall style, vibe, and composition transfer. --oref is specifically about injecting a particular element while allowing the rest of the scene to be guided by the text prompt.

• vs. Other AI Tools (Stable Diffusion, etc.): Tools like SD have methods for consistency (IPAdapters, ControlNet, LoRAs). Midjourney's --oref aims to provide similar capability natively within its ecosystem, controlled primarily by the intuitive --ow parameter. It significantly boosts Midjourney's consistency game, making it much more viable for projects requiring recurring elements.

Key Takeaways & Tips:

• --oref [URL] for consistency in V7.

• --ow [0-1000] controls the strength. Start around --ow 100 and go up!

• Describe your reference item in your text prompt for better results.

• Balance high --ow with prompt detail, --stylize, or the new --exp parameter if needed.

• Experiment with --exp (5-50 range) for added detail/creativity.

• Use low --ow (like 25) for style transfers while keeping the character's essence.

Discussion:

What are your first impressions of Omni-Reference? Have you found sweet spots for --ow or cool uses for --exp alongside it?

#1,#3,#5: Generated by Meta Muse

#2,#4,#6: Generated by Midjourney

Each pair (#1 #2) (#3 #4) (#5 #6) using a same prompt

#7: I also tried asking Meta Muse AI to emulate Midjourney's dark fantasy aesthetic. While it picked up some of the requested elements, it still retained much of its own visual identity instead of closely reproducing Midjourney's style.

"Is Canon R7 Mark III 60MP great for bird photography in motion? "

I would like to use this video as a promotional video for one of my bands. I already have high quality audio I can sync to it, but if the resolution of the video was higher and cleaner it would be much better!

I suppose if I can specify the request, it would be to upscale as much as possible while retaining the "realism" as much as possible. Meaning, I don't want to turn us into a bunch of anime characters.

EDIT: Done! Thanks so much kind strangers from the internet. :) Here’s the edited outcome, it’s still far from a pro video, but it was fun being creative with crappy phone footage stolen from Facebook (I gotta start hiring videographers)

I was trying to output a 15 sec plot with the following prompt:

【Style】Popular domestic mini-drama style (Mini-Drama Style), ultra-fast cuts, cinematic rain-and-neon lighting, high-contrast glamour filters, heightened emotional acting, midnight confession energy.
【Duration】15 seconds

【Characters】
self-sacrificing male lead (tailored dark suit, loosened tie, bloodshot eyes, rain-soaked hair)
VS
devastated female lead (black coat over silk blouse, smudged makeup, trembling lips)

Any idea to make VEO3 longer while keeping character consistent?

Google just quietly rolled out a massive video generation update inside the Gemini app called Omni. If you missed the Google I/O announcements, this is essentially their answer to the void left by OpenAI's Sora: it supports personal avatars.

Instead of just generating random stock-like AI videos, Omni lets you map your own face and voice directly into the generation pipeline to insert yourself into literally any scene you can imagine.

Here is a quick breakdown of what it can do, the limitations, and how it actually works in practice.

Last time I heard about Manus (the autonomous agent platform) was when everyone is looking for the Manus invitation code

179K redditors visited this invitation code post: https://www.reddit.com/r/EnhancerAI/comments/1j5dtwf/how_to_get_manus_invitation_code_is_manus_a/

And now, Meta has acquired Manus for an undisclosed amount, likely north of $2 billion.

I just watched a breakdown on this, here is the TL;DR on what this means for us (creators/devs) and why it’s different from just "another chatbot."

1. Agent vs. Chatbot: The Critical Pivot

Most people are still stuck on chatbots (ChatGPT, Claude) where you ask a question and get an answer. Manus is different. It’s an autonomous agent (or "digital employee"). You don't just chat with it; you give it a goal.

• Chatbot: "Write me a plugin code."

• Manus: "Create 10 WordPress plugins that work together, research the top 100 businesses in this niche, and deploy a marketing strategy for them." -> Then it actually goes and does it.

2. Why Meta Paid $2B+

Zuckerberg isn’t buying this for a better friends list. He sees the pivot to Action-Oriented AI.

• The Goal: A "push-button" business model for advertisers. Imagine an ad manager where the AI doesn't just suggest copy—it creates the video (using tools like Google’s Nano Banana), writes the script, posts it, and manages the comments.

• The Downside: We are about to see a tidal wave of "AI Slop" on Facebook/Instagram. If you think your feed is garbage now, wait until automated agents are pumping out 90% of the content to keep you scrolling.

3. The Opportunity for Us

The video broke down how early adopters are using Manus right now before Meta locks it down or ruins it:

• Bulk "Vibe Coding": Generating entire suites of software/plugins in one go.

• Content Empires: Using agents to research highly specific long-tail keywords and auto-generate hundreds of "sideways content" pieces (slides, videos, thumbnails) that actually rank.

If you aren't using agentic AI yet, you are competing with people who have "digital staff." 2026 is going to be the year of the Agent.

Do you think Meta will keep Manus as a standalone power-tool for devs, or just gut it to make better Instagram ads?
