Lots of people are generating AI images, but only a few really know how to achieve this level of realism. Here are the prompts and a step-by-step tutorial on creating photorealistic portraits with Magnific AI.
First, create the base images in Midjourney. For this, you’ll need a really solid prompt, especially for portraits! Here are you have the three AI generated images in Midjourney along with their prompts in the ALT text, so you can learn from them!
Prompts used in tutorial:
Film Photography portrait of very elegant Icelandic man 40 years old, looking at the camera, against window studio wall, direct front flash with little dark shadows on right side, long dark green dress, mugler, texture skin, red eye vains inside a white in the eye, small face wrinkles, face pores, villus, photographed by jurgen teller, Captured with a polaroid in 2022 –ar 3:2 –s 1000 –style raw –v 5.2
a Wide-angle portrait of a man eating breakfast in a diner, in the style of dadaist photomontage, grocery art, monumental scale, subtle use of color, gray and green, grandparentcore, interior scenes, Analogue photography. leica m6, kodak portra –ar 35:52 –style raw –v 5.2
a woman being photographed on the floor in a suit, in the style of minimalist beauty, pale palette, light white and light amber, textural layering, clean and streamlined, asymmetrical, frayed –ar 70:101 –style raw –stylize 50 –v 5.2
Now, we just need to enhance them to a super realistic level using Magnific AI. You’ll only need one upscale to achieve 2k res.
Easy: Use the “Portrait” preset and Creativity: 3. Important: use the same prompt you used before, but deleting the Midjourney parameters.
For the other two images, also use Creativity level 3. And remember to use the same prompt in Magnific that you used in Midjourney!
But feel free to experiment with an additional upscale to achieve 4k resolution. This is 4096 x 4906.
- Creativity: 0
- HDR: -3
- Resemblance: -3
You can reduce these two parameters to prevent the formation of blotches.
Realistic Portraits with Midjourney + Magnific

Tip: it’s usually a good idea to DECREASE Creativity in your second Magnific upscale. The image will be more natural.
