Stable diffusion is another app that Zsolt uses.
```timestamp

```
`/settings` to set default sections.
```timestamp
06:11
```
`--q 0.5` to reduce quality and improve render time (while you're still playing around)
```timestamp
07:19
```
use `svg icon`
```timestamp
08:01
```
You can remove the background of an icon with PhotoRoom.
*Note: You can do this with [[Canva]] too.*
```timestamp
09:38
```
`simple svg icon` if there are too many objects in the images.
```timestamp
10:23
```
`monochromatic red, triadic blue`
```timestamp
11:11
```
[Paletton](https://paletton.com) to get the names of colours to tell [[Midjourney]].
```timestamp
12:05
```
`clipart` can work well too.
```timestamp
13:41
```
You can't use the hex code. :( You have to use the name of a colour. You can go to [Coolors](https://coolors.co) and paste the hex code in there and it spits out the name of the colour.
```timestamp
16:03
```
Add negative prompts, like `--no coffee`, to exclude subjects or colors
```timestamp
16:57
```
`and` instead of `,` between colours works better-- `,` is more useful for chunking groups.
```timestamp
18:22
```
`set of simple svg icons` will generate way more icons!
But remove the `--q 0.5` because otherwise the quality is quite low.
```timestamp
20:50
```
Grab a link of an image and drop the image into a Midjourney prompt.
```timestamp
22:03
```
If you give Midjourney a link to a transparent image, it'll also give you transparent ones in return.
