What is Midjourney AI?


Midjourney AI is an artificial intelligence program that generates images from textual
descriptions. It's a powerful tool for creating unique designs for print-on-demand products and
other applications.

Midjourney AI is similar to OpenAI's DALL-E or Stable Diffusion, which also generates images
from textual descriptions using AI. However, Midjourney AI uses a different technology that
enables it to generate high-resolution images with more ease and efficiency.

The program allows users to adjust various parameters to create specific types of images.
Midjourney AI also supports multi prompts, prompt weights, and negative prompt weights, etc.
to give users greater control over the generated output.

Midjourney AI is known for its ability to generate images in high resolution, making it suitable
for use in a wide range of applications. Its user-friendly interface makes it easy for users to
start generating images right away, even if they have no prior experience with AI.

It is a powerful and versatile tool with the potential to revolutionize the way we create visual
content. Whether you're an artist, designer, or simply interested in the possibilities of AI-
generated images, Midjourney AI is definitely worth exploring.

In this section, we'll explore some of the basic parameters that you can use with Midjourney AI. Add --aspect <value>:<value>, or --ar <value>:<value> to the end of your prompt.
These parameters are typically appended at the end of a prompt, and multiple parameters can
be included in a single prompt. By the end of this section, you'll have a solid understanding of
how to use parameters to create the images you want.

Aspect Ratios
Aspect ratios are an important consideration when generating images with Midjourney AI. The
aspect ratio of an image is the ratio of its width to its height, and it can have a significant
impact on the appearance and usability of the final product. Fortunately, Midjourney AI allows
users to adjust the aspect ratio of their generated images using the "--aspect" or "--ar"
parameter.

To use the aspect ratio parameter, simply append "--aspect" or "--ar" to the end of your prompt,
followed by the desired aspect ratio. For example, to generate an image with a 4:5 aspect ratio,
you would enter "--aspect 4:5" at the end of your prompt.

By modifying the aspect ratio, users can customize the dimensions of the generated image to
suit their needs and preferences. Whether you're creating a design for a specific platform or
device, or simply trying to achieve a particular aesthetic, adjusting the aspect ratio can help
you achieve your goals. Keep in mind that certain aspect ratios may be more suitable for specific
types of images, such as landscape or portrait orientations, so be sure to experiment with
different ratios to find the one that works best for your project.

How to Change the Aspect Ratio


Prompt: little cute fish --ar 2:3

Prompt: little cute fish --ar7:4

Chaos
The --chaos or --c parameter affects the diversity of the initial image grids. Setting a high --
chaos value will generate more unconventional and unexpected results and compositions, while
lower --chaos values produce more consistent and repeatable results.

--chaos accepts values 0–100.


The default --chaos value is 0.

Low Chaos

When using a low --chaos value or not specifying a value, the initial image grids will have slight
variations with each job run. This can be useful for creating images with similar features and
styles or when looking for minor variations in a design.

High Chaos Very-High Chaos

By specifying a higher --chaos value, the initial image grids generated for each job will be more Specifying extremely high --chaos values will result in initial image grids that are highly varied

styles and design elements. that may be more difficult to use or incorporate into specific projects.
While higher --quality settings generally produce better results, this is not always the case.
Depending on the desired look of the image, lower --quality settings may be more suitable. For
instance, a lower --quality value may be ideal for achieving a gestural abstract look, while higher
--quality values may enhance the look of architectural images that require more details. Choose
the setting that best fits the image you wish to create.

How to Use the Quality Parameter

Use the --quality or --q Parameter

Prompt: ananas owl hybrid --c 100

Quality
The --quality or --q parameter determines the amount of time the AI spends generating an
image and affects the level of detail in the output. Higher quality settings take longer to
process but produce more detailed results. It is important to note that this parameter does not
affect the resolution of the image.

The default --quality value is 1, and higher values consume more GPU minutes from your Prompt: a young man in 40s carrying a basket of bread and fruits in the background of a European castle
subscription. Acceptable values for --quality are .25, .5, and 1 for the default model. Values --q .25
above 1 will be rounded down to 1. It is also important to note that --quality only influences the
initial image generation and works with Model Versions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and niji.
Prompt: a young man in 40s carrying a basket of bread and fruits in the background of a European castle Prompt: a young man in 40s carrying a basket of bread and fruits in the background of a European castle
--q 2 --q 5

Stop
The --stop parameter is useful for finishing a job partway through the process. By specifying a
value, users can halt the job at a particular percentage and generate an image with incomplete
details. However, it is worth noting that stopping a job at an earlier percentage can result in
blurrier and less detailed images.

The --stop parameter accepts values between 10 and 100, with the default value being 100. It is
important to remember that this parameter does not work while upscaling an image.
Therefore, users must let the upscaling process complete before stopping the job.
When using the --stop parameter, it is recommended to experiment with different values to
achieve the desired effect. For instance, using a lower value might work well for creating
impressionistic or abstract images, while higher values are better suited for detailed images
such as landscapes or portraits.

--stop accepts values: 10–100.


The default --stop value is 100.
--stop does not work while Upscaling.

Prompt: green peas in plate --stop 70

Prompt: green peas in plate --stop 30


How to Switch Stylization Values

Add --stylize <value> or --s <value> to the end of your prompt.

Prompt: green peas in plate --stop 100

Stylize
Prompt: illustrated pear --s 0
Midjourney AI's image generation is trained to produce artistic results that emphasize color,
composition, and form. The --stylize or --s parameter controls the strength of this artistic
training. Lower stylization values will produce images that closely match the prompt, while
sacrificing some artistic flair. Higher stylization values will create more artistic images that are
less closely tied to the prompt.

By default, --stylize is set to 100 and accepts integer values between 0 and 1000 when using
the default V4 model. It's important to note that higher stylization values don't always lead to
better results. The optimal value will depend on the type of image you want to generate and
your personal preferences.
Prompt: illustrated pear --s 250 Prompt: illustrated pear --s 750

Tile
The --tile parameter, available only on the V5 model, generates images that can be used as
repeating tiles to create seamless patterns for fabrics, wallpapers, and textures. By using the --
tile parameter, you can ensure that your images can be tiled seamlessly without any visible
breaks or discrepancies. This parameter works by generating an image that can be repeated
horizontally and/or vertically to create a seamless pattern.

--tile only generates a single tile.

How to Use the Tile Parameter


/imagine prompt colorful zebra stripes --tile --v

Prompt: black rose --tile --v 5

Prompt: colorful zebra stripes --tile --v 5 Seed


The Midjourney bot uses a seed number as the starting point to generate the initial image grids.
This seed number creates a field of visual noise similar to television static. The bot generates
random seed numbers for each image, but users can specify their own seed number using the --
seed or --sameseed parameter.

Specifying the same seed number and prompt will produce similar ending images, allowing users
to replicate their favorite results. The --seed parameter accepts whole numbers from 0 to
4294967295.

--seed accepts whole numbers 0–4294967295.


--seed values only influence the initial image grid.

If no seed is specified, Midjourney will use a randomly generated seed number, producing a wide
variety of options each time a prompt is used. To set the seed value, simply add the "seed"
parameter followed by a specific number of your choice.

To set the seed value, we use the “seed” parameter and add a random number:

Prompt Example : The white colored cat lying the green sofa --seed

Modifying the prompt introduces new variables into the generation process, which increases
the level of randomness in the generated image. The degree of randomness is directly
proportional to the extent of the modifications made to the prompt. To understand this better,
let's compare the results of smaller and larger prompt modifications:

Original Prompt: The white colored cat is lying on the green sofa --seed 4789
Same Seed Number but sofa color is red : Prompt: The white colored cat is lying on the red sofa --seed
4789
Same Seed Number but aspect ration is 2:3 - Prompt : The white colored cat is lying on the green sofa --
seed 4789 --ar 2:3

Version
Midjourney continuously releases new model versions to enhance efficiency, coherency, and
quality. The latest model is the default, but users can choose to use other models by specifying
the --version or --v parameter or by accessing the /settings command and selecting a model
version. Different models specialize in different types of images, so it's important to choose the
appropriate version for your specific needs.

--version accepts the values 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, and can be abbreviated as --v.

The latest model, Midjourney V5, was released on March 15th, 2023. To use this model, simply
add the --v 5 parameter at the end of your prompt or select MJ Version 5 from the /settings
menu.

V5 offers higher coherency, better natural language prompt interpretation, higher resolution,
and advanced features such as the ability to generate repeating patterns with the --tile
parameter.

How to Switch Models

Use the Version or Test Parameter

Add --v 1, --v 2, --v 3, --v 4, --v 4, --v 5, --style 4a, --v4 --style 4b --test, --
testp, --test --creative, --testp --creative or --niji to the end of your prompt.

Prompt: golden and black rose --v 2


PROMPTING MIDJOURNEY AI

Multi Prompts
It is possible to have the Midjourney Bot consider two or more separate concepts individually
using :: as a separator. Separating prompts allows you to assign relative importance to parts
of a prompt.

Multi-Prompt Basics

Adding a double colon :: to a prompt indicates to the Midjourney Bot that it should consider
each part of the prompt separately.

In the example below, for the prompt ice cream all words are considered together, and the
Midjourney Bot produces images of tasty ice cream. If the prompt is separated into two parts,
ice:: cream both concepts are considered separately, creating a picture of a cream on the ice
cubes.

Prompt golden and black rose --v 5

In conclusion, basic parameters offer a wide range of options for customizing the image
generation process in Midjourney AI. By modifying parameters such as aspect ratio, chaos,
quality, stylization, seed, and version, users can generate highly customized and unique images
tailored to their specific needs and preferences.

However, the full potential of Midjourney AI can only be realized by mastering the art of
crafting effective prompts. The next section, "Prompting Midjourney AI," will delve into the art
of crafting prompts and provide tips and best practices for generating high-quality images.
With a solid understanding of both basic parameters and effective prompting techniques, users
can unlock the full potential of Midjourney AI to create stunning and original images.
Prompt: illustrated ice cream Prompt: illustrated ice ::2 cream

Prompt Weights

When a double colon :: is used to separate a prompt into different parts, you can add a number
immediately after the double colon to assign the relative importance to that part of the prompt.

In the example above, the prompt ice::2 cream produced cream on the ice cubes .

Negative Prompt Weights

Negative prompts are an effective tool to remove unwanted elements from your image
generation. They work by applying a negative weight or penalty to the specified elements,
making them less likely to appear in the output.
To use negative prompts, you can add them to your original prompt to specify what you don't
want in your image generation. One way to do this is by using the --no parameter followed by
the name of the element you want to remove. For example, if you want to generate a landscape
painting without any rivers, you can write:

Prompt: a landscape painting --no river

Prompt: a landscape painting --no river

Prompt: a landscape painting


Prompt: fruit salad Prompt: fruit salad --no kiwi

The second way is to use text weights ( :: ) followed by a negative number (from -0.5 to -1) after
the name of the element that you want to reduce. For example, if you want to generate a
landscape with less mountains and more trees, you can write:

a landscape painting, rivers:: trees:: mountains::


image to Discord : right-click the image, select Copy Link, and then paste the link within the
prompt box.

Prompt: a landscape painting, rivers::0.5 trees::1 mountains::-0.5

Image Prompts
In addition to text prompts, you can also use images as part of a prompt to influence the
composition, style, and colors of the generated image. This can be done alone or in combination
with text prompts to create even more unique and varied results.

To add images to your prompt, simply enter or paste the web address of the image stored The Link of the example Image: https://s.mj.run/xhLVWZr1_Zg
online, which should end with a file extension like .png, .gif, or .jpg. Once you have added the
image address, you can continue adding any additional text or parameters to complete your prompt example: imagine prompt https://s.mj.run/xhLVWZr1_Zg birthday cake
prompt and generate the desired image. Experiment with different combinations of image styles
and parameters for even more exciting results.
One of the keys to creating compelling and visually interesting images with Midjourney is to
start with a strong theme. Themes provide a unifying concept or idea that can help guide the
image generation process and ensure that the resulting images are cohesive and meaningful.

Some examples of themes that you could use to inspire your Midjourney prompts include
realistic or surreal imagery, science fiction or fantasy concepts, retro or vintage styles, or even
comic book or anime-inspired visuals. By choosing a strong theme and incorporating it into your
prompts, you can help ensure that the resulting images are both visually stunning and
thematically consistent.

BONUS: Making Realistic Photos


With the latest AI model, Midjourney v5, it's now possible to generate photorealistic images
that look like photographs. You can create portraits with realistic skin tones and sharp details,
making your images appear natural and lifelike.

1. To achieve a shallow depth of field and isolate your portrait subjects, use a long lens such
as an 85mm, 100mm or 200mm. This will help to blur the background and make your
subject stand out more prominently.

2. For high-quality images with realistic colors and details, consider using specific camera
models such as the Sony α7 III, Nikon D850 DSLR 4k, Leica, or Canon EOS R5. These
cameras can capture features and expressions with precision, resulting in images that
look more natural and authentic.

3. To recreate candid and personal moments, use keywords such as "candid" or "personal"
along with high-quality settings like 4k or 8k. This will give your images a natural and
authentic look, capturing genuine moments of joy and happiness.

4. Experiment with a wide aperture setting such as F 1.2 to create a blurry background and
make your subject stand out. You can also add blurry backdrop hints, such as an
abandoned church or a city street at night, to create a sense of mood and atmosphere.

5. Use dreamlike or dramatic lighting to create a sense of depth and contrast in your
images. You can also create ultra-detailed images with sharp lines and textures,
capturing every detail with precision to make your images appear more realistic.

6. To capture the essence of a person's character and personality, consider creating


portraits in their natural environment, showcasing their interests and passions. You can
also experiment with different aspect ratios, such as 9:16, which is commonly used for
portrait images on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok.

7. Finally, try using Vermeer lighting or Rembrandt lighting techniques to create a soft and
warm glow that illuminates your subject's face, adding a touch of artistic flair to your Prompt: A personal portrait of a writer sitting at a desk in a home office, with a blurred backdrop of
images. bookshelves. Use a Hasselblad camera with a 85mm lens at F 1.2 aperture setting and soft sunlight falling
