The problem for me is that the designs are not copyrighted.

That means everyone can just take your pictures and resell them because you are not able to claim them as copyrighted. That is a big risk when releasing digital products.
Actually they would have big balls if they did that without knowing FOR SURE that it was AI created. If you pay for a Midjourney top tier plan then your designs are PRIVATE on there & won’t be seen by anyone. Also, you can alter the designs/images you create via AI before listing them and then they ARE your own & can’t legally be copied.

Great video, but you're missing how you get these to 300DPI. I mean, I just do it in photoshop, but i feel that this is an important step to doing this, as it's expected on Etsy that your clip art is 300 DPI. Just a heads up for anyone else who is doing this!
@@expressfuntees3181 Open your image in photoshop, then go to Image > Image Size. Then you can change the DPI to 300 - change the "resolution" to 300 pixels per inch. Hope it helps!
Thank you so much for all of your videos!! I have been diving deep for sure. I was wondering, do you think that Kittl could also be used to create the build clipart that showed in MidJourney? I've always purchased clipart packs, but I am very interested in starting to create my own!
You're welcome! It can definitely do some great clip art styles, it just doesn't have the ability to do it in bulk, but hopefully they will add it soon :)
Does there seem to be any difference in using Dropbox or Google drive to have the large files stored on? Do customers get grumpy if they have to download from one over the other? Which one is easier to use and/or is more cost effective for us to store on? Thanks for all you do. I've been very excited to find your TH-cam channel! As soon as I can get a shop pulling in some $$, I will be investing in your full course, for sure!
I have the same question! I have been trying to figure it out but i just can´t find the way how to do it. Please can you tell us how to do it? i really need this info. Thanks. I love all your videos, can´t wait to see more!!
Hi,thanks for the superb video and tutorial. I'm currently having some difficulty creting a prompt in MJ that can create all the subjects at once, couldn't get to that point... please, any advice or template prompt you could share? I mean, the prompt prior to the one itw the usjects, please, how sould I write that first one? T
You're welcome! I believe you have to have a higher paid version to generate as many as I do at once and they just have to be placed in the "curly brackets" or braces for it to work.
Do you have a tutorial on how to use mid journey for those who don’t know exactly what prompts to use. Like all I can do is write descriptive. But I see others saying, in ‘artist’ style type or say those brackets. I never knew about the brackets. I tried to search list of terminology that one could use. But nothing quite what I’m looking for.
I have a small module for AI in my course, but it's definitely not all-inclusive. I am thinking of starting a specific midjourney design community where we do live prompting, etc :)
This is so good!! Thank you Bailey. Loving your channel. Btw, I saw your video on the numbers (which I loved). That said, try not to stress the haters. I’ve realized that there will always be the polarity. Just keep being your lovely, inspiring, shiny self and your grateful audience will always find you. On another note, have you used My Designs for custom mock-ups (also smart layer), and for posting to Etsy? If so, I’d love to see a video on your process with that, if you’ve used them for that. Thanks again!!
I usually just look up the styles I'm looking for and reword a few times. ChatGPT also works sometimes as well and I just change a few words, but still have know the type of style. :)
Hi, thanks for the detailed info! I just installed the EverBee extension and I can't figure out how to make it show the color-coding; do you have to have the paid version for that?
Could you use Canva to remove background or does it have to be mydesigns? I know Canva is not best for DPI quality, but we are going to have to bump up the DPI in photoshop either way, if I’m understanding correctly. This was a wonderful tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing it! 😊
I'm new to doing this as well, and learning as I go on what my workflow is. I tried removing backgrounds in Canva and it does a great job - however, it converts a 300DPI image back down to a 72 DPI image when you download it after running the background remover. Plus, it's extremely time consuming, as you have to each image. I looked into MyDesigns but I think it's just too expensive for what I want it for (removing backgrounds). I'm likely going to go with a PixelCut Pro subscription - it does a great job and it's cheaper than MyDesigns as it's a month x month subscription, rather than credit based (I'm processing a LOT of clip art and I will run out of credits very fast). PixelCut can do it in batch as well and it does an amazing job at BG removal. So, my workflow would look like this: Download Midjourney images > take them into PixelCut and remove BG > Upscale using Gigapixel > Toss them into Photoshop to get the right size & DPI (I'm doing 3600x3600 with 300 DPI). I will record an action in Photoshop to do this all as an Automate > Batch for the entire folder and the process would be pretty fast. I hope this helps!
Hi, great video! This may sound dumb, however, I am not really tech savvy... how does the buyer get the file once purchased? How do you send it to them? Will they still be in PNG format? Thanks so much! :)
You would add them to your digital product Etsy listing as a file and the buyer is sent it when they purchase and they can also access via their Etsy account
Can I get similar images with DALL-E? And, if not, which plan of Midjourney do I need to get that many images at once? DALL-E is two at a time, which is fairly slow compared to this.
Fantastic video, thanks! Just curious. I've tried this, and Midjourney is saying I have too many prompts, and I can only use a maximum of 4. So to use your prompt in this video as an example, I would only be able to put "{pumpkin, black cat, witch, potion}". Any more prompts would trigger this error. Is this to do with a certain subscription plan or is this to do with a new update to do with Midjourney? Thanks.
Do you use any software to convert the files from the 72dpi (5000x5000) most programs seem to save as to 300dpi (5000x5000) or leave it to the customer to actually do the final conversion? (Maybe I missed that step in your video.) Thanks! Also, how is MyDesign on removing backgrounds without also removing parts of the image? (Photoshop seems to like to leave empty spots if it sees white anywhere...)
The dpi in an image file is just metadata, and it doesn't change the print quality. A 5000x5000 pixel image with 72dpi embedded in the file data will print exactly the same regardless if you change the dpi to 300. The only time someone has to worry about dpi is when speaking in terms of physical size (like inches), not pixels. In this case, I think the clipart sellers just use 300dpi as a buzzword unless they are mentioning the physical size, like saying "These are 16.5"x16.5" when printing for 300dpi quality."
Hello, I had the same question, but i get confused on the video after she takes the background off and download them on a zip folder to upload to Etsy the files are still 72 dpi so I’m not sure if I missed the step where she can use the my design software to make them 300 dpi otherwise she will be uploading those cliparts to Etsy at 72 dpi
@@expressfuntees3181 from my own research, Canva doesn't increase DPI. I use Krita, a free software, somewhat like Adobe PS, to increase DPI. Works great!
Thank you very much for this! So helpful. Would you mind if I asked which Midjourney subscription type you have? Mine only lets me do 4 jobs at once, so I was wondering which upgrade to get for multiple jobs. Thank you and much love.
After you remove background, you don't have to clean up the white fringe or jagged edges that the background removal leaves left over? Is it okay for customers? Just asking, new seller here.
So it really will depend on the style of clipart, with watercolor...most will be fine with the splashes or uneven edges, while vector/cartoon style clipart it will need to be removed completely :)
Such a great and helpful video - thanks so much! Do you have a way of bulk converting files from png to svg, jpg, etc. to offer different file types for customers?
Hi Bailey. Thank you very much for this informative video. I have a question after watching this video. Can AI-created designs be sold as they are? Or do they need to be changed? I'm a little confused because I know you have to be very careful about copyright I am currently using Canva to create the designs and I know that you cannot use certain elements without changing them. Isn't it the same for the designs created in Mydesigns?
Can you elaborate on how to package them via zip with Google drive or dropbox as the link. I have thing ready to go but am so afraid I made a mistake and am not sure I did it right.
Hi Bailey awesome video - sorry if i missed this but i noticed you saved on Canva as a png but not transparent - can you clarify why not please? Thanks again !!!!
Hi! @jiggyplum7851! I'm assuming that you're asking about the listing image she created in Canva. In this case, you wouldn't want to select transparent background, because it would remove the really cute, but subtle, pink stripe background. Listing images are a sguare picture, such as mockups, which include background & all. You will need to have transparent backgrounds to place images on t-shirts, mugs, etc, so that the white or colored square won't print. So, if you're downloading an image to sell as clipart, not an Etsy listing photo, for a customer to use, you will usually want to remove the background.
Hi Bailey! I am almost ready to launch my first shop, however I have decided I want to be doing both POD and Digital products. I know that you have a history in both, do you think it’s in my best interest to open two separate stores to keep them individualized or is it worth doing a hybrid? I’m finding little to no advice on this 😢
I do have some tips on this coming up on the video on Thursday! But yes, you can definitely sell both as long as they make sense for your audience. Like they would be purchasing wither type of product.
Thanks for the amazing tutorial. I’m new here and am confused when I package the final product for customer to download; I’m not sure what is the best option, that is, add the images to a template file (clipart, coaster) just like in tumbler wraps?
You're welcome! If selling clipart sets, you'd most likely need to add to a drive folder and provide the link as the file for the customer for them to access.
amazing video!! i'm thinking about starting another etsy shop, i have one under my LLC account, should i make the other under personal or with the under the same llc
Can you do this kind of video again showing all steps but using mainly just kittl instead? I'm still a bit confused on what files to download to put in the listing like what format/file should it be in etc? Thanks for reading! I love your videos c:
Hello, Bailey! Thank you so much for your videos! Very educational! I'd like to ask - who is the audience for this clip art? Who would buy it, and how do they use it? Thank you!
You are so welcome and thanks for watching! Mostly crafters, including sublimations, but used for journaling, waterslides, printed vinyl, t-shirts, DTF, etc.
Hi, I think they might have recently updated and the prompt box looks different when I click upscale. It now gives me option that says "max upscale height" and "max upscale width" - any advice on how to proceed?
I have my images with backgrounds removed etc, but when I zoom in, there are many little 'fluffy' bits that the background remover didn't remove. Do you have any tips for getting them more neat and tidy or do I need to go over each image in procreate to remove please? thank you
Unbelievable. I have been doing this manually one by one for 2 months 😭😭. Okay now I feel like my shop is actually going to go through the roof with these tips. Question, is the background remover pretty good in my design? When I remove background in Canva or Photoshop sometimes it’s messes things up so then I have to fix it or scrap it. Any tips for that? I also have most of my listings at 300dpi but 2000px instead of 5000px like you. I see shops with all different numbers so idk what to think. Is it a huge difference? THANK YOU!!!!
It's pretty much the best I've used to do it in bulk, rarely I have to clean up a few, which is why I always create extra in case I have to toss a few :) I like to keep mine at the 5000x5000 so it's usuable on something as large as a t-shirt or small flag
Wow i enjoyed your video so much, because you are demonstrating all the process of how to sell on Etsy. The reason many people have their cliparts overlaping each other is for copyright purposes. So other people can not steal the images. Otherwise you must put watermarks on them. Thanks for making this video. It was really helpful to me. You have a new subscriber to your channel. 👍☺ One more thing, Shouldn't you edit a little bit your images in Photoshop first before you upload them? Ai images most of the times have imperfections.
Hello, I have a question. I was wondering if we should be sharpening clipart images? I use topaz GIG upscaler and I usually sharpen in photoshop however that is when I make coloring pages, should I also do the same with clipart?
Hi, I can’t upload all images on Etsy by zipping all of them in one file, can you explain how do you convert to pdf and how the customer will download those pdf to png again? Thanks!
You did a video on how you take each clipart and make it 300dpi with photoshop. I do not have Photoshop. Is there a way to download the transparent PNG and turn it into a 300 DPI without photoshop. Is there a software that does both actions. If I download from Mydesigns and turn into a 300 DPI, the background returns. Leaving me frustrated. If I download from Canva ina JPG, I get 300 DPI and again lose the transparent background. @@digitallypurposedbailey
How do you actually add the digital downloads into your etsy shop? I'm having trouble figuring it out. I'm running into the problem where it says only 20MB are allowed. I've tried to create a zip file, but it's still bigger than the upload limit. How do I upload bulk clipart images for digital download?
I sometimes have prompts that are three times the length (or more) of what Bailey shows here. There are mixed opinions on best practices for prompts, so it’s important to experiment yourself. I’m not sure what you’re meaning by a limit of four prompts. 🤔
I have been learning a lot from your videos but I still don’t understand when you make the zip file ready to upload to Etsy they are still are at 72 dpi… so I don’t understand.. do you have to unzip the files make them 300 dpi and then make a new zip folder with the new files at 300 dpi?? Please help!!!
You do have edit them in something you can save at a 300DPI, so like Canva (by 2x) or PS or Adobe Illustrator. I do have a newer/more in depth tutorial coming up soon!
@@digitallypurposedbailey thank you so much, I did try to vectorize in illustrator but it can’t be done with a simple click… and on photoshop is not about making a canva 300 dpi and then place it in the file, it just won’t upscale it, not at least the way I tried, is easy with kittle but since I just have a susb with adobe I though I could use ps and AI… I’m looking forward for that video… thank you so much you inspired me to go digital !!!!
I spend so much time on removing the background - after an AI did it. Its bumpy and not clean enough after... will try this one now. Unfortunately I couldnt see the qualitiy of your cliparts after the background removing, cause they were still on a nearly white sheet.
I think that’s where the most work will be done. At least at first. I think no one really discuss the background removal in detail. They just skim through it and put it on a light background. If you put the image on a black background, it’s not as good. You need to put a lot of time learning how to make your image usable for dark backgrounds. As this video is not about removing the background, that’s it’s not discussed in detail.
yeah but its shown how quick and easy it is to make this huge numbers of cliparts and if the background remover doesn´t work well enough, its not accurate. @@kevinl.9657

I go over this in other videos, but yes, you will need to finish your design in something like Kittl like I do or PS to get to the correct DPI.
Hello, can you tell me how you convert this images to 300 dpi in photoshop?
@@expressfuntees3181 Open your image in photoshop, then go to Image > Image Size. Then you can change the DPI to 300 - change the "resolution" to 300 pixels per inch. Hope it helps!
Yes, that is where I am stuck.

Hey love your vids how did you make 18 prompts in midjourney to generate at the same time ???????
I think it may go by tier on how many concurrent jobs can run :) Thanks so much!
Use brackets and separate each with a comma. Black [bird, dog, cat] on a [log, porch, house].
Great video Baley! Thank you for sharing such valuable information.
You're welcome and thanks for watching!! :)
Thank you so much for all of your videos!! I have been diving deep for sure. I was wondering, do you think that Kittl could also be used to create the build clipart that showed in MidJourney? I've always purchased clipart packs, but I am very interested in starting to create my own!
You're welcome! It can definitely do some great clip art styles, it just doesn't have the ability to do it in bulk, but hopefully they will add it soon :)
You have the best and most informative videos, thank you!
Does there seem to be any difference in using Dropbox or Google drive to have the large files stored on? Do customers get grumpy if they have to download from one over the other? Which one is easier to use and/or is more cost effective for us to store on?
Thanks for all you do. I've been very excited to find your TH-cam channel! As soon as I can get a shop pulling in some $$, I will be investing in your full course, for sure!
Most seem to prefer Google, just a little easier, I think:)
Can you tell me how to do a prompt template inside of Midjourney?
I have the same question! I have been trying to figure it out but i just can´t find the way how to do it. Please can you tell us how to do it? i really need this info. Thanks. I love all your videos, can´t wait to see more!!
Hi,thanks for the superb video and tutorial. I'm currently having some difficulty creting a prompt in MJ that can create all the subjects at once, couldn't get to that point... please, any advice or template prompt you could share? I mean, the prompt prior to the one itw the usjects, please, how sould I write that first one? T
You're welcome! I believe you have to have a higher paid version to generate as many as I do at once and they just have to be placed in the "curly brackets" or braces for it to work.
honestly im not interested in making this but i find this very cool and you seem to be pretty knowledgeable on tech.. keep it up
Hi Bailey,
Are you using any tools that helping you to write prompts and get nice images as shown on your video ?
Thanks
I have used ChatGPT before, but usually just trial and error:)
WOW! What a detailed step-by-step walkthrough! Thank you so much.
Do you have a tutorial on how to use mid journey for those who don’t know exactly what prompts to use. Like all I can do is write descriptive. But I see others saying, in ‘artist’ style type or say those brackets. I never knew about the brackets.
I tried to search list of terminology that one could use. But nothing quite what I’m looking for.
I have a small module for AI in my course, but it's definitely not all-inclusive. I am thinking of starting a specific midjourney design community where we do live prompting, etc :)
Thank you for this video. I am wondering what are you prompting so Midjourney created the 18 designs at once?
Thanks!
You're welcome! I believe for it to generate that many at once depends on the subscription you're on. So I'm on the $60/m one.
@@digitallypurposedbailey I have the $60 tier, but how do I get it to generate 18 images at once?
@@Mewie0since she didn't answer did you ever figure out how to do this ? How to get those 18 images or more at once ?
This is so good!! Thank you Bailey. Loving your channel. Btw, I saw your video on the numbers (which I loved). That said, try not to stress the haters. I’ve realized that there will always be the polarity. Just keep being your lovely, inspiring, shiny self and your grateful audience will always find you. On another note, have you used My Designs for custom mock-ups (also smart layer), and for posting to Etsy? If so, I’d love to see a video on your process with that, if you’ve used them for that. Thanks again!!
Aww thanks so much for this:) I did use them last year when I was uploading a lot more at a time and it worked well!
Hi Bailey! Thank you for all the great content. How do I get information on your course?
You're welcome and all the info can be found here: bit.ly/digitallypurposed , thanks! :)
wow ... where do you get all theses long and specific prompts from 👌? thanks for sharing your knowledge 🤩
I usually just look up the styles I'm looking for and reword a few times. ChatGPT also works sometimes as well and I just change a few words, but still have know the type of style. :)
Mind blown! 🤯
Hi, thanks for the detailed info! I just installed the EverBee extension and I can't figure out how to make it show the color-coding; do you have to have the paid version for that?
You're welcome! It may be, I'm not sure since I've had the paid version
Could you use Canva to remove background or does it have to be mydesigns? I know Canva is not best for DPI quality, but we are going to have to bump up the DPI in photoshop either way, if I’m understanding correctly. This was a wonderful tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing it! 😊
I'm new to doing this as well, and learning as I go on what my workflow is. I tried removing backgrounds in Canva and it does a great job - however, it converts a 300DPI image back down to a 72 DPI image when you download it after running the background remover. Plus, it's extremely time consuming, as you have to each image. I looked into MyDesigns but I think it's just too expensive for what I want it for (removing backgrounds). I'm likely going to go with a PixelCut Pro subscription - it does a great job and it's cheaper than MyDesigns as it's a month x month subscription, rather than credit based (I'm processing a LOT of clip art and I will run out of credits very fast). PixelCut can do it in batch as well and it does an amazing job at BG removal.
So, my workflow would look like this:
Download Midjourney images > take them into PixelCut and remove BG > Upscale using Gigapixel > Toss them into Photoshop to get the right size & DPI (I'm doing 3600x3600 with 300 DPI). I will record an action in Photoshop to do this all as an Automate > Batch for the entire folder and the process would be pretty fast.
I hope this helps!
You could also do them individually in Canva, I just use MyDesigns for the bulk feature :) You're welcome!
Hi, great video! This may sound dumb, however, I am not really tech savvy... how does the buyer get the file once purchased? How do you send it to them? Will they still be in PNG format? Thanks so much! :)
You would add them to your digital product Etsy listing as a file and the buyer is sent it when they purchase and they can also access via their Etsy account
Can I get similar images with DALL-E? And, if not, which plan of Midjourney do I need to get that many images at once? DALL-E is two at a time, which is fairly slow compared to this.
I haven't been able to get DALL-E to produce this particular style and yes, slow. I use the $60 plan
Fantastic video, thanks! Just curious. I've tried this, and Midjourney is saying I have too many prompts, and I can only use a maximum of 4. So to use your prompt in this video as an example, I would only be able to put "{pumpkin, black cat, witch, potion}". Any more prompts would trigger this error. Is this to do with a certain subscription plan or is this to do with a new update to do with Midjourney? Thanks.
Oh yes, this will depend on your subscription level. So mine is the $60 which allows this.
Do you use any software to convert the files from the 72dpi (5000x5000) most programs seem to save as to 300dpi (5000x5000) or leave it to the customer to actually do the final conversion? (Maybe I missed that step in your video.) Thanks! Also, how is MyDesign on removing backgrounds without also removing parts of the image? (Photoshop seems to like to leave empty spots if it sees white anywhere...)
I also would like to know, how and when do you get it to 300 DPI so that printing quality is sufficient? Thank you Bailey!
The dpi in an image file is just metadata, and it doesn't change the print quality. A 5000x5000 pixel image with 72dpi embedded in the file data will print exactly the same regardless if you change the dpi to 300. The only time someone has to worry about dpi is when speaking in terms of physical size (like inches), not pixels. In this case, I think the clipart sellers just use 300dpi as a buzzword unless they are mentioning the physical size, like saying "These are 16.5"x16.5" when printing for 300dpi quality."
LOVE your content!! I have a question, after you upscale and remove background in MyDesigns, what do you use to bring them to 300dpi?
Thanks! Usually Kittl, since I need to edit/add things anyway. If not PS works fine or double the size in Canva as well:)
Thank you!! @@digitallypurposedbailey
Hello, I had the same question, but i get confused on the video after she takes the background off and download them on a zip folder to upload to Etsy the files are still 72 dpi so I’m not sure if I missed the step where she can use the my design software to make them 300 dpi otherwise she will be uploading those cliparts to Etsy at 72 dpi
@@expressfuntees3181 from my own research, Canva doesn't increase DPI. I use Krita, a free software, somewhat like Adobe PS, to increase DPI. Works great!
What software do you use for 300 DPI after upscale images from mydesgin?
Usually just Kittl since I design in there now.
Thank you very much for this! So helpful. Would you mind if I asked which Midjourney subscription type you have? Mine only lets me do 4 jobs at once, so I was wondering which upgrade to get for multiple jobs. Thank you and much love.
I have the one for $60/m. You're welcome!
@@digitallypurposedbailey perfect. Thank you for replying 😊
After you remove background, you don't have to clean up the white fringe or jagged edges that the background removal leaves left over? Is it okay for customers? Just asking, new seller here.
So it really will depend on the style of clipart, with watercolor...most will be fine with the splashes or uneven edges, while vector/cartoon style clipart it will need to be removed completely :)
Thank you for the info and reply.@@digitallypurposedbailey
When you generate them all from one prompt like that, are they more consistently similar in appearance than if you do them one at a time?
I have found that they tend to be more consistent.
Such a great and helpful video - thanks so much! Do you have a way of bulk converting files from png to svg, jpg, etc. to offer different file types for customers?
Thanks! I think you can actually do this in MyDesigns as well as they have the option to convert to SVG.
Hi Bailey.
Thank you very much for this informative video.
I have a question after watching this video.
Can AI-created designs be sold as they are? Or do they need to be changed? I'm a little confused because I know you have to be very careful about copyright
I am currently using Canva to create the designs and I know that you cannot use certain elements without changing them.
Isn't it the same for the designs created in Mydesigns?
Thank you somuch for this. It is very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Can you elaborate on how to package them via zip with Google drive or dropbox as the link. I have thing ready to go but am so afraid I made a mistake and am not sure I did it right.
Hi Bailey awesome video - sorry if i missed this but i noticed you saved on Canva as a png but not transparent - can you clarify why not please? Thanks again !!!!
She made them transparent in MyDesigns
Hi! @jiggyplum7851! I'm assuming that you're asking about the listing image she created in Canva. In this case, you wouldn't want to select transparent background, because it would remove the really cute, but subtle, pink stripe background. Listing images are a sguare picture, such as mockups, which include background & all. You will need to have transparent backgrounds to place images on t-shirts, mugs, etc, so that the white or colored square won't print. So, if you're downloading an image to sell as clipart, not an Etsy listing photo, for a customer to use, you will usually want to remove the background.
Yes, it was just for the mockup image, so no need for that to be transparent.
@@digitallypurposedbailey oops sorry thank you
@@teenatruitt4335 oops thanks for clarifying 👍🏻
Hi Bailey! I am almost ready to launch my first shop, however I have decided I want to be doing both POD and Digital products. I know that you have a history in both, do you think it’s in my best interest to open two separate stores to keep them individualized or is it worth doing a hybrid?
I’m finding little to no advice on this 😢
I do have some tips on this coming up on the video on Thursday! But yes, you can definitely sell both as long as they make sense for your audience. Like they would be purchasing wither type of product.
Thanks for the amazing tutorial. I’m new here and am confused when I package the final product for customer to download; I’m not sure what is the best option, that is, add the images to a template file (clipart, coaster) just like in tumbler wraps?
You're welcome! If selling clipart sets, you'd most likely need to add to a drive folder and provide the link as the file for the customer for them to access.
amazing video!! i'm thinking about starting another etsy shop, i have one under my LLC account, should i make the other under personal or with the under the same llc
Thanks! I'm not sure if it would cause harm to be under the same or not, but I'd think you'd want a second or personal :)
Can you do this kind of video again showing all steps but using mainly just kittl instead? I'm still a bit confused on what files to download to put in the listing like what format/file should it be in etc? Thanks for reading! I love your videos c:
I will add this to my list! :)
Hello, Bailey! Thank you so much for your videos! Very educational! I'd like to ask - who is the audience for this clip art? Who would buy it, and how do they use it? Thank you!
You are so welcome and thanks for watching! Mostly crafters, including sublimations, but used for journaling, waterslides, printed vinyl, t-shirts, DTF, etc.
Hi, I think they might have recently updated and the prompt box looks different when I click upscale. It now gives me option that says "max upscale height" and "max upscale width" - any advice on how to proceed?
I have my images with backgrounds removed etc, but when I zoom in, there are many little 'fluffy' bits that the background remover didn't remove. Do you have any tips for getting them more neat and tidy or do I need to go over each image in procreate to remove please? thank you
Ya, you would want to clean up in any editing software if you don't want to have anything. I leave many of mine due to the 'watercolor' style.
Hey, can you make video on how to use more than 1 prompt in midjourny, likw you apply 18 prompt at same time so how to do that?
After escalating 4x in MyDESIGNS DPI is 72. Do you convert these PNG files to 300 DPI? Thank you for a great video!
You're welcome! I usually do this in wherever I'm finishing the design, so like in Kittl that can save at 300DPI
I can't thank you enough for this video!!
Glad it helped and thanks for watching! :)
Unbelievable. I have been doing this manually one by one for 2 months 😭😭. Okay now I feel like my shop is actually going to go through the roof with these tips. Question, is the background remover pretty good in my design? When I remove background in Canva or Photoshop sometimes it’s messes things up so then I have to fix it or scrap it. Any tips for that? I also have most of my listings at 300dpi but 2000px instead of 5000px like you. I see shops with all different numbers so idk what to think. Is it a huge difference? THANK YOU!!!!
It's pretty much the best I've used to do it in bulk, rarely I have to clean up a few, which is why I always create extra in case I have to toss a few :) I like to keep mine at the 5000x5000 so it's usuable on something as large as a t-shirt or small flag
Couldn't you also do a zip file as well or do you recommend doing google drive/dropbox?
You could, but it it can't be larger than 20MB, so most of the time they won't fit which is why I do a drive/dropbox link.
Great tutorial :) What size should an individual clipart be, what should be the dimensions?
I have mine at 5000x5000px :)
@@digitallypurposedbailey Thank you so much ❤️
Hello, Bailey! Is this at 300 dpi or 72 dpi? Thank you!
@@SergeySnovsky I had the same question : (
Wow i enjoyed your video so much, because you are demonstrating all the process of how to sell on Etsy. The reason many people have their cliparts overlaping each other is for copyright purposes. So other people can not steal the images. Otherwise you must put watermarks on them. Thanks for making this video. It was really helpful to me. You have a new subscriber to your channel. 👍☺ One more thing, Shouldn't you edit a little bit your images in Photoshop first before you upload them? Ai images most of the times have imperfections.
Thanks! Most of the time I do either in Kittl or Ai if they are being applied to what I would usually use them for, like a tumbler wrap:)
Hello, I have a question. I was wondering if we should be sharpening clipart images? I use topaz GIG upscaler and I usually sharpen in photoshop however that is when I make coloring pages, should I also do the same with clipart?
Yes. Because most AI art is very low quality. Like 1mb for an 11x14 size when a high quality 11x14 can be like 50mb in size.
THIS video is SUPERB!!!!! Thank you!!!!!
Glad you liked it!
Hi, I can’t upload all images on Etsy by zipping all of them in one file, can you explain how do you convert to pdf and how the customer will download those pdf to png again? Thanks!
You'd just want to add your files to a drive and link to the PDF you create in canva and that is what you provide within the etsy listing.
and there is no risk of copyright infringement? are you able to claim ownership of these images if someone were to "steal" them?
No, you cannot copyright AI art. You still cannot tell AI to make a Disney character and get around infringement for example :)
In mydesigns it only allows me to upscale up 4096 size, there is no 4X upscale. Am I missing it?
When you sell the PNGs on Etsy, do you say high resolution Png Files? What is the description you use?
Since they come out of Midjourney at about 1000x1000px....upscaling by 4x is the 4096px size.
You did a video on how you take each clipart and make it 300dpi with photoshop. I do not have Photoshop. Is there a way to download the transparent PNG and turn it into a 300 DPI without photoshop. Is there a software that does both actions. If I download from Mydesigns and turn into a 300 DPI, the background returns. Leaving me frustrated. If I download from Canva ina JPG, I get 300 DPI and again lose the transparent background. @@digitallypurposedbailey
Photoshop and Cava do the same right? What am I missing ?
One of my favorite videos!🩷💜
You're too sweet! 😊
Thank you so much for these amazing tips!
You're so welcome!
Do you have to upscale the images?
You will have to using something like MyDesigns or an AI Upscaler, PS, etc. I use Kittl as the end because I usually finish my designs in there.
I saw in one of the comments below that you have a course? Did you provide a link in your video description?
I do and all the info is here:) bit.ly/digitallypurposed
Can you download your completed designs?
Love your informative videos.🥰
Glad you like them!
How do you actually add the digital downloads into your etsy shop? I'm having trouble figuring it out. I'm running into the problem where it says only 20MB are allowed. I've tried to create a zip file, but it's still bigger than the upload limit. How do I upload bulk clipart images for digital download?
You'll want to add them something like Google Drive or Dropbox and provide the link as they will usually be small enough to fit on Etsy
That’s a very descriptive request in mid journey. Are you able to give it so many prompts? isn’t the limit four? How are you getting around that?
I sometimes have prompts that are three times the length (or more) of what Bailey shows here. There are mixed opinions on best practices for prompts, so it’s important to experiment yourself.
I’m not sure what you’re meaning by a limit of four prompts. 🤔
Excellent !!!! Thanks Bailey
Thank you Bailey.
You're welcome! :)
I have been learning a lot from your videos but I still don’t understand when you make the zip file ready to upload to Etsy they are still are at 72 dpi… so I don’t understand.. do you have to unzip the files make them 300 dpi and then make a new zip folder with the new files at 300 dpi?? Please help!!!
You do have edit them in something you can save at a 300DPI, so like Canva (by 2x) or PS or Adobe Illustrator. I do have a newer/more in depth tutorial coming up soon!
@@digitallypurposedbailey thank you so much, I did try to vectorize in illustrator but it can’t be done with a simple click… and on photoshop is not about making a canva 300 dpi and then place it in the file, it just won’t upscale it, not at least the way I tried, is easy with kittle but since I just have a susb with adobe I though I could use ps and AI… I’m looking forward for that video… thank you so much you inspired me to go digital !!!!

I'm currently doing 2000x2000px

What’s your esty shop name please
Do you have a code for a discount on midjourney?
I'm sorry, I don't believe they offer any currently
I spend so much time on removing the background - after an AI did it. Its bumpy and not clean enough after... will try this one now. Unfortunately I couldnt see the qualitiy of your cliparts after the background removing, cause they were still on a nearly white sheet.
I think that’s where the most work will be done. At least at first. I think no one really discuss the background removal in detail. They just skim through it and put it on a light background. If you put the image on a black background, it’s not as good. You need to put a lot of time learning how to make your image usable for dark backgrounds. As this video is not about removing the background, that’s it’s not discussed in detail.
yeah but its shown how quick and easy it is to make this huge numbers of cliparts and if the background remover doesn´t work well enough, its not accurate. @@kevinl.9657
