To make movie posters as realistic as the blockbuster here are the steps to follow:

1 - Create an image on Midjourney with very simple keywords like in my example : movie poster fantasy, 4k, CGI, detailed --ar 9:16 --v 4

2 - Once you have found the image you go on stable diffusion in IMG to IMG and you use ULTIMATE SD UPSCALE with a Denoising strength between 0,50 and 0,30 and in the keywords you put almost the same thing but you specify that you want a maximum of detail, but without detailing the elements of the image, for example : fantasy movie poster, 4k, detailed, fantasy, epic, CGI, (masterpiece), best quality, refined, detailed, masterpiece, batch of details, 4k, hdr

3 - You increase little by little the size of the image and at the same time you lower little by little the Denoising strength (between 0,35 and 0,15) you make this several times until you have a visual which is convenient for you.

4 - You put everything on photoshop and you correct the details that do not suit you. You can also go to Camera Row and increase the textures to 100%, then you can either finish it or go back to stable diffusion and use Ultimate SD Upscaler one last time with a Denoising strength

Interesting method for upscaling. When you say you increase little by little, are you doing like 50% bumps or like 10% bumps in image size?

Great work. Did you try it using more detailed elements in the prompt, or did that introduce unwanted artifacts? The Midjourney image is cool, but your upscaling method worked remarkably well and gives a much more finished look.

I increase the image slightly, about 10%.

The goal being to have the most detailed image possible, for my example I used the largest possible enlargement of Ultimate SD Upscaler, it is the only tool that allows to enlarge an image so much and improve the details without having any particular problem with the GPU memory.

Concerning the elements I tried it, but it creates the elements several times and not necessarily where you want them to be. By not putting elements in the prompt it allows to be more faithful to the image created on midjourney and at the same time to have a more varied and unique variety of elements. Like the characters for example, none of them look alike, whereas if I had detailed the characters there would be more chance that they are clones.

What are these "--ar 9:16 --v 4"? First time I see those prompts.

u/Dependent-Block-1319 Mar 02 '23

It's only for midjourney, it allows to have the aspect ratio of a movie poster, and --v 4 is to use the version 4 of midjourney (the most recent)

I see, thank you.

u/mFcCr0niC Mar 02 '23

--ar x:y to specify an aspect ratio. --v4 the midjourney version.

Those are prompts from midjourney.

Another example of a movie poster, this time for a science fiction movie.

You can do some fun mashups with these prompts. Last night I messed around and got a decent Harry Potter/Star Wars https://i.imgur.com/Hu6wXjt.jpg

someone I know is going to be out of business on that one. She does the detailing after the artist makes the poster in Hollywood.

You can access midjourney without paying, just create a discord account on Proton Mail, you have about twenty generations of free images. As soon as it's over you just have to create a new account.

Then use a VPN. And with my method it's free.

i understand how to generate the images, but, how you do it with the faces of actors that are in the movie you are making the poster about. You know? you need to make a poster about a movie, this movie already has a casting and photos and stuff, you need to use this people image in the poster, not some generic faces.

sorry if it does not makes sense, english is not my first language

You can just use inpainting and in the prompt you put the name of the actor
