Creating Photorealistic Images with Midjourney and Photoshop

AI-generated imagery is transforming the creative landscape, but achieving true photorealism requires a blend of smart prompting and precise post-processing. This text-based guide teaches you how to bridge the gap between raw AI outputs and polished, professional-grade photographic art. You will progress from understanding basic generative AI concepts to mastering advanced prompt engineering in Midjourney and seamless compositing in Photoshop. By studying our detailed written walkthroughs and structured exercises, you will learn to control lighting, texture, and composition to produce images that look indistinguishable from real photography. What you'll learn: - Understand the foundational concepts of generative AI and photorealistic prompting. - Master Midjourney parameters, style references, and camera simulation prompts to control output quality. - Apply Photoshop compositing, color grading, and blending techniques to refine AI-generated assets. - Utilize modern AI-assisted tools within Photoshop to seamlessly fix artifacts and upscale images. - Practice structured workflow steps to combine multiple AI generations into a cohesive, realistic scene. The course begins with core definitions and setup guides, moving systematically from initial Midjourney prompt creation to advanced Photoshop editing workflows. You will follow along with detailed text explanations and written practice scenarios designed to build your confidence step-by-step. This course is designed for absolute beginners to AI art and image editing, requiring no prior experience with Midjourney or Photoshop.
