Getting Started with Midjourney
Setting Up Discord
Midjourney is accessed through Discord, a popular communication platform. If you don't already have an account, head over to discord.com to download and install the app. Think of it as a community-focused version of WhatsApp. Once you've created your account, you're ready to join the Midjourney server.
Joining the Midjourney Server
To start using Midjourney, you need to join their Discord server. Simply go to discord.gg/midjourney (the link is also in the description). Accept the invite, and you'll be in the Midjourney Discord server, which is the easiest way to interact with the AI.
Generating Your First AI Artwork
Using the /imagine Command
Once you're in the Midjourney server, navigate to one of the "newbie" channels. Here, you'll use the `/imagine` command followed by your desired keywords. This tells the AI what you want it to create. For example, you could type `/imagine dragon riding scenario`.
Adding Details and Realism
To enhance your results and make them more realistic, add extra instructions to your prompt. Also, specify the Midjourney version to use. For the best results, add `--V 4` to your prompt to use version 4 of Midjourney.
To specify an aspect ratio, add “--ar” and one of the aspect ratios (2:3, 1:1, or 3:2). For example: “--ar 2:3”.
Once you've entered your prompt, hit Enter and wait for Midjourney to generate your images.
Understanding the Results
Midjourney will provide you with a grid of four image options based on your prompt. Below the images, you'll see buttons labeled "U" and "V," along with arrows.
"U" stands for "upscale." If you like one of the images, pressing the corresponding "U" button will generate a higher-resolution version of that image.
"V" stands for "variation." If you like the overall style of an image but want to see more variations, pressing the corresponding "V" button will generate four new images similar to that one.
The arrows allow you to re-run the prompt if the initial results aren't what you're looking for.
For example, if you like the third image, you would click "U3" to upscale it. If you like the style of the second image, you would click "V2" to generate more like it. Give it a try, and see what results you get.
Free vs. Paid Plans
Midjourney offers a free trial that allows you to generate 25 images. After that, you can subscribe to a paid plan. The basic plan costs $10 per month and allows you to generate 100 images. Paid plans also give you the option to generate images privately, as the free version generates images in public channels.
