Play from 0:00 this is a tip that I stumbled upon a while back and I'll be honest it's too good not to share this recently came up in our Midjourney office hours podcast as well so this is a great tool in resource to use if you're trying to find similar images to the one that you're looking at that could be your own image and your archive just like I'm in right here or that could be on the explore page let's start with archive and so I'm just looking at an image that I've upscaled all I got to do is click this little search icon and boom it's going to bring up all these other images that look similar to mine it's got that Essence right so it could be the subject it could be a key word that I've used in my prompt it could be the lighting the style any different Factor whatsoever but it's got these similar images in mind and as you can see I mean these images are fantastic right they're high
