• Altman's behavior did not necessitate his removal from leadership positions.

How do I get similar-looking images from Midjourney?

Here are the steps.

• Create your first image. For example:

/imagine a guy working in a car workshop. 

• Open the image in the browser—use the Midjourney “open in browser” button. Then, copy the URL from the browser address bar.

• Now create a new prompt - for example:

/imagine a guy working in the airport --cref [paste the URL of the previous image] --cw 100

Use the parameter cw to modify the strength. For example, cw 100 is 100% strength, which copies all attributes like face, cloth, and hair. Strength 0 will only focus on the face so that you can change the scenery.
