Big news for logo and graphic designers!

Midjourney had a handicap: text generation.

The words it generated were mostly meaningless.

The new inpainting feature solves this problem.

This guide will show you how to do it:

In this tutorial, I'll be showing you how to:

1. Use Midjourney inpainting to make meaningful words
2. Take advantage of word spacing for best results
3. Change the font of the text
4. Avoid a common problem

This technique really opens up so many possibilities.

Let's dive in!

Example:

Here's a sign generated by Midjourney with the following prompt:

C O F F E E sign in front of a cozy coffee shop, clean, minimalistic, foliage, natural light

The coffee sign is clearly misspelled.

Let's fix it.

Using inpainting, select the region of the sign with spelling mistakes.

Then, replace the prompt in the text box with the appropriate letters and press submit.

Here are the results.

Not bad, but we are still missing an 'E'.

We will continue carrying out inpainting to add the extra 'E'.

The question is, which of the 4 signs below should we perform inpainting on?

It turns out you should only perform inpainting on the 4th sign.

We shouldn't do inpainting on signs 1, 2 & 3.

This is because there isn't enough space for Midjourney to insert the letter 'E' at the end while keeping both sides balanced.

Even if we try, no 'E' will be added.

After performing inpainting one more time, we have our COFFEE sign spelled correctly!

Now, here are 2 more useful tips:

I'll show you:

- How to change the font of a word
- How to avoid a common problem

We will be using the following example, where I want to change the word "FAMARE" generated by Midjourney into "FLAME".

Sometimes, you just don't like a font on an image.

To change it, you want to inpaint over the entire word so that all the text is covered.

Then Midjourney will generate text with a new font for you.

Otherwise, it will maintain the original font.

Moving on...

A common problem is that MJ will not allow you to perform inpainting if the selection region is too small.

This is a problem if your word is too small.

To fix this, just make one more selection on a random part of the image.

See the example in the image below.

After some tries, I was able to get Midjourney to change the font of this nice logo & make the spelling correct at the same time.

Great.

One last tip.

If you want to generate more similar logos, just press the "Vary (Subtle)" button.

Here are many more logos based on the original image, all with correctly spelled words.

Nice!

There are even more practical ways that you can use inpainting for.

I'll share more of them soon.
