What AI Image Generator Should YOU Be Using??

Matt Wolfe

Matt runs the same prompt set through Midjourney, DALL·E, Adobe Firefly, Stable Diffusion, Leonardo, and others, and grades them on the dimensions the article cares about — accuracy, realism, illustration, logos, text, price. The model lineup has shifted since (Flux is now in the mix) but the methodology is what makes this still the best orientation video for the space.

What you should get from this: Compare image generators by task fit, failure modes and cost instead of memorizing a fixed ranking.

Watch or know first: Basic familiarity with prompt-to-image tools and at least one concrete image task.

AI Expert note: The model lineup and pricing have shifted since this comparison. Use the evaluation method, not the exact winner list; verify current text rendering, editing, rights and commercial-use terms before choosing a tool.

The ULTIMATE Beginners Guide to Midjourney in 2024

Future Tech Pilot

Once you've decided Midjourney is worth a try, this is the soup-to-nuts walkthrough — prompt structure, the stylize / chaos / weird parameters, image prompting, blending, zoom and pan, style tuning. The interface has continued to evolve, but everything here still applies and the prompting intuition transfers cleanly to v7.

What you should get from this: Learn Midjourney prompting intuition while separating durable prompt concepts from changing UI controls.

Watch or know first: Watch the comparison first or already know that Midjourney is the tool you want to try.

AI Expert note: This is a 2024 UI walkthrough. Keep it for prompt-shaping intuition, but verify current Midjourney web/Discord flows, parameters, style controls and licensing before using it professionally.
