Create Stunning AI Art: Simple Guide to Midjourney's Latest Web Tools

Midjourney helps you make amazing pictures just by typing in text. It uses AI to bring your ideas to life. The best part? You can now do it easily with a web browser. This guide covers the basics of using the newest Midjourney web interface. We will look at how to get started, make images, use settings, and edit your creations. If you want to create unique images, this is a great place to start.

Getting Started with Midjourney Web

First, find "Midjourney" on a search site like Google. Look for the official website. Once you are there, find the login button. A window will pop up. Choose to log in using your Google account. If you do not have one, you can quickly make one.

Navigating the Interface

When you log in, you will see the main page. On the left side, there is an "Explorer" section. Here, you can see pictures people around the world have made. This is a great place to get ideas.

If you click on an image, you can see the text the person used to make it. This text is called a "prompt." Prompts tell Midjourney hints about what image you want to create.

Making Your First Image

Creating an image is simple. Find the "Create" button on the left side and click it. You will see a bar at the top that says "what will imagine." This is where you type your prompt.

Type what you want to see, then click the submit button on the right. Midjourney will make four pictures based on your words. While it can understand some other languages, writing prompts in English usually gives better results. English prompts tend to produce higher quality images.

If you need help writing prompts in English, you can use tools like translation services or AI text helpers to get the right words before you put them into Midjourney.

Understanding Midjourney Settings

You can control the look and style of your images using the settings. Click the settings icon (it looks like gears or sliders) usually found near the prompt bar. This opens a menu with many options.

Key Settings Explained

• Aspect Ratio: This sets the shape of your image (wide, tall, or square). Use 9:16 for vertical videos (like TikTok) or 16:9 for horizontal ones (like YouTube). You can set it to 1:1 for a square or use a slider for other shapes.

• Stylization: This controls how much Midjourney applies its artistic style. A lower number makes the image stick closely to your prompt words but looks less artistic. A higher number adds more artistic flair, but the image might be less exact to your prompt.

• Weirdness: This adds unusual or quirky elements to your image. Increase this value if you want something truly strange or unique.

• Variety: This affects how different the four images generated are from each other. A lower number gives similar results across the four images. A higher number leads to more diverse and sometimes unexpected compositions.

• Model: The version or type of AI model used. The standard model is the default. Other models might be better for specific styles, like getting more realistic photos or anime-like art (though anime style is often version-specific).

• Version: This refers to the engine Midjourney uses to create images. Version 7 is the newest and offers very high image quality and realism. Earlier versions like 6.1 are also good and sometimes preferred for specific looks. Older versions (1 through 6) generally have lower quality.

• Speed: This sets how fast images are made. "Fast" is the default and uses your paid time (GPU hours). "Relax" mode is slower but does not use your paid time, allowing unlimited creation if your plan supports it. "Turbo" is even faster but uses more paid time quickly.

• Stealth: This controls if your generated images are public (visible in the Explorer) or private. Some plans allow you to turn this on or off. Turning Stealth on means your images and prompts are not shown publicly.

Managing all these settings for multiple generations can be time-consuming. Consider using the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT to streamline your workflow and experiment with different settings faster.

Comparing Setting Effects

Seeing how settings work is helpful. For example, with Stylization, a value of 0 gives a simple image based directly on the prompt. Increasing it to 100 or higher adds more AI artistic touches, sometimes making images look more beautiful or unique. Very high values (like 1000) might look less realistic and more like AI art.

Weirdness 0 usually gives expected results. Weirdness 3000 will produce images that are much more abnormal or strange based on the same prompt.

Variety (also sometimes called Chaos) affects how different the four output images are. Variety 0 results in four very similar pictures. Variety 100 creates four pictures that can be wildly different in composition and style. For subtle changes while keeping a similar composition, a low Variety value like 5 or 10 is useful.

Changing the Model or Version also changes the look. Version 7 tends to be highly realistic, while Version 6.1 might have a slightly different artistic feel. There's also a specific version (version 2) that is designed for anime-style art.

Image Reference Functions

Midjourney can use other images as a guide for your new creations. There are a few ways to do this:

• Image Prompt: Uses an image as a broad influence on the output's content or composition. If you provide an image of a dog and then prompt for a cat, the result might look like a cat but with some compositional elements from the dog image.

• Style Reference: Uses an image to influence the artistic touch, color palette, or overall feel of the output, while ignoring the image's content. You can tell Midjourney to make an image that looks like another picture's style.

• Character Reference (Omnireference): Tells Midjourney to try and include a specific person or subject from a reference image in your new picture. In Version 7, this is called Omnireference and works for all types of subjects, not just people. You can use it to keep a subject consistent across different scenes or styles.

You can use these reference functions together. Adding a reference image gives Midjourney more information to work with, helping you get closer to your vision.

Editing Your Images

Midjourney offers editing tools, especially in the web version. You can edit images you have already made or even upload outside images to work on.

If you have an image you created, click the "Edit" button below it. This opens an editing screen.

Editing Tools

• Change Aspect: Adjust the width and height after the image is made.

• Paint (Eraser): Use a brush tool to remove parts of the image. You can adjust the brush size. There are buttons to undo, redo, or reset your edits.

• Smart Select: This powerful tool tries to pick out specific objects or areas in your image. Click on a subject (like an animal or person), and Smart Select will attempt to select just that part. You can then erase the selection (remove the object) or erase the background (remove everything but the object).

• Layers: Use layers to combine parts of different images or to rearrange elements within a single image. You can work on one part of the image on one layer without changing another. Use the Paint tool to hide parts of different layers to create a blended result.

• Editing External Images: In the "Edit" tab on the left navigation, you can upload and edit images that were not made in Midjourney using the same tools like Paint, Smart Select, and Layers.

After editing, you can use a prompt to fill in or change the erased areas. For example, if you erase a background, you can add a prompt like "In The Forest" to create a whole new background that blends with your subject.

Tip: If you are working on an uploaded image and are not sure what kind of prompt to use for editing, look for a "Suggest Prompt" feature. It can give you ideas based on the picture.

Retexture Feature

The Retexture tool lets you change the artistic style of an existing image without changing its basic composition. You can apply a completely different look, making the image appear as if it was created by a different artist or in a different medium (like watercolor, horror art, etc.).

Midjourney Pricing Plans

Midjourney offers different plans based on how much you use it and what features you need. Plans are typically monthly or yearly.

• Basic Plan: Good for new users trying Midjourney. It is the lowest cost plan but has a limit on how many images you can make per month (around 200). It does not include the "Relax" speed mode, so all generation uses paid time. It also does not support private image generation.

• Standard Plan: This is a popular choice. It costs more but includes more paid generation time (e.g., 15 hours per month). Crucially, it includes "Relax" mode, allowing unlimited slower generations that do not use your paid time. It also allows you to use the images for commercial purposes (check terms).

• Pro Plan: For more active users. Provides even more paid generation time (e.g., 30 hours per month) and allows for more simultaneous image creations at once. This plan includes the "Stealth" mode to keep your images private.

• Mega Plan: The highest tier with the most paid generation time (e.g., 60 hours per month) and the most simultaneous generations allowed. This is for users who create a very high volume of images, especially with faster modes.

Choosing the right plan depends on your needs. If you just want to test it, Basic is fine. If you plan to use it often, especially for many generations or commercial work, Standard is a good starting point. If privacy or high volume fast generation is key, Pro or Mega may be needed. Note that faster versions or higher settings (like Version 7 or Turbo speed) use paid time more quickly.

Exploring all these features and managing your generations across different speeds and settings can get complex. The Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT provides tools to help you manage your workflow, track usage, and speed up common tasks.
