Midjourney is constantly getting better. A helpful new ability is adding text directly to your images. This feature is available in the latest version, Midjourney V6 Alpha.
Being able to add specific words can make your creations even more useful and unique. Let's look at how you can start using text in Midjourney right now.
First: Make Sure You're Using Midjourney V6
To use the text feature, you need to be on Midjourney Version 6 Alpha. It's easy to switch.
Go into Discord on a server where you use Midjourney.
Type `/settings` into the message bar.
Hit enter to bring up your Midjourney settings.
Find the version dropdown menu.
Select "Midjourney Version 6 Alpha".
Now that V6 Alpha is set as your default, you're ready to add text to your image prompts.
How to Include Text in Your Prompt
Adding text is simple, but there's a key rule: put quotation marks around the words you want to appear in the image.
Here's the basic format:
`/imagine prompt: [description of image] with the text "Your Text Here"`
The words inside the quotation marks are what Midjourney will try to render in the image.
Examples of Adding Text
Example 1: Handwritten Note
Let's try adding a handwritten note. A prompt like:
`/imagine prompt: a yellow sticky note with the text "buy milk" written in black sharpie stuck to a stainless steel fridge`
Midjourney can do a good job of showing the words exactly as requested, even capturing the style like "handwritten" or "Sharpie". It can also place the note naturally within the scene described.
Example 2: A Roadside Sign
Imagine creating a scene with a sign. Using a prompt such as:
`/imagine prompt: a sign that says "fresh veggies" on a dirt road in front of a farm stand with various colored vegetables in wooden boxes`
Midjourney can place the sign correctly within the context and even choose a suitable font style for a farm stand sign. It will include the other elements you described, like the dirt road and vegetable boxes.
To make creating varied and interesting images with text even easier, consider exploring tools that can help automate parts of your workflow. The Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT can assist in generating and managing prompts, saving you time and effort.
Example 3: Text with Characters
You can also combine text with characters. For instance:
`/imagine prompt: in x machina style female robot holding a sign that says "hello world"`
Midjourney aims to put the text on an object held by the character. Sometimes the text might not be perfect initially, but you can often generate variations (`V` button) to get closer to the desired result. With variations, you can refine the image until the text is correct and the overall picture looks great, sometimes even showing details like the robot's fingers interacting with the sign.
Tips for Success
Always put the text you want inside quotation marks.
Be specific about the location and style of the text (e.g., "on a sign," "handwritten in blue ink").
If the text isn't quite right, try generating variations (`V`ボタン).
Keep your prompt clear and focused.
Adding text opens up many new possibilities for creating images with Midjourney V6. From signs and notes to labels and messages, you can now integrate words directly into your visual concepts.
