Enhance Your Midjourney V6 Images with Better Prompting

Midjourney V6 brings new ways to create images. If you want to get the best results, you need to adjust how you write your prompts. This guide will show you simple ways to use Midjourney V6 more effectively, focusing on accuracy, detail, and getting multiple subjects just right.

Key Changes in Midjourney V6 Prompting

Compared to earlier versions like V5, Midjourney V6 handles prompts differently. Here are the main things to know:

• Midjourney V6 understands many more words in your prompt.

• It works better with natural language sentences, not just keywords.

• You can describe details for two or even three different subjects in one image, including where they are.

These changes let you be much more specific and get closer to the image you imagine.

Processing More Words

Older versions of Midjourney often focused only on the first 15-20 words of a prompt. If your description was longer, some parts might be missed. For example, in V5.2, a prompt for a Roman Coliseum scene might not include all the elements you asked for, like birds or a chariot.

Midjourney V6 can process hundreds of words. Using the same Coliseum prompt in V6 results in an image that includes the birds and the gladiator's chariot, because V6 understood the whole request.

Foundational Prompting Tips for V6

Start creating better V6 images with these core ideas:

Tip 1: Be Visually Descriptive

Use specific adjectives and adverbs to show Midjourney exactly what you want to see. Avoid vague words. Focus on words that describe visuals (like abstract, atmospheric, matte, neon, rustic, surreal).

If you want a photorealistic image, simply start your prompt with "a photo of" or "a portrait of" instead of using technical terms like '8K'.

Tip 2: Use Artistic Styles

Give your images a unique look by naming an artistic or photographic style. Add "in the style of [Artist Name or Style]" as part of your prompt. You can also add `--style raw` to reduce Midjourney's default style influence or `--stylize 700` (or similar high number) to boost color and detail while keeping the style feel.

Working with Natural Language

Since V6 processes more words, you can write prompts more like normal sentences. Think about describing the scene naturally, as you would tell someone what you want the image to look like.

For example, instead of listing keywords for Jack and Jill, you can use sentences: "Jack is wearing a blue hat and holding a pail. Jill is wearing a red dress and standing next to him." This helps Midjourney understand the relationships and actions more accurately. Using correct spelling and punctuation also helps.

Prompting for Multiple Subjects

One of the biggest improvements in V6 is the ability to describe multiple subjects and even control their position.

Using Callbacks (or "Cool Backs")

A helpful way to structure prompts with multiple subjects is to start with a general description of the main subjects and action. Then, add details about specific subjects by referring back to them. For instance, if your prompt mentions two people, you can then add descriptions like "the person on the right is wearing a red shirt" and "the person on the left is holding a book." These references back to the initial subjects are key.

Examples of Multi-Subject Prompts

• [B]People Arguing:[/B] Prompt starts with "two people arguing". Then, using callbacks: "the person on the right is female, wearing a striped shirt, looks worried" and "the person on the left is male, wearing a blue jacket, looks frustrated." You can also specify the setting, like "at an Italian street cafe." V6 accurately shows the details and positions.

• [B]Fruit Baskets:[/B] You can prompt for "three baskets," then specify the contents of each: "the basket on the left is filled with apples," "the basket in the middle is filled with lemons," and "the basket on the right is filled with oranges." Midjourney V6 does a great job placing and filling the baskets correctly.

• [B]Letters/Text:[/B] Need specific letters in specific spots? Start with "three white letters on a graffiti wall." Use callbacks for each: "the top symbol is the letter A," "the middle symbol is the letter B," "the bottom symbol is the letter C." V6 can place the letters according to these directions.

• [B]People in a Coffee Shop:[/B] Prompt "three people at a coffee shop counter, in a line." Use callbacks: "the person in the foreground is wearing a red shirt and a baseball cap," "the person in the center is wearing a blue shirt," and "the third person in the background is wearing a yellow shirt." V6 can follow these instructions accurately for positioning and clothing.

Managing prompts for complex scenes with multiple specified elements can be much easier with automated tools. Check out the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT to see how it can help you handle detailed compositions more efficiently.

Conclusion

Midjourney V6's ability to process more words, understand natural language, and handle multiple subjects with specific details offers huge potential for creating precise and imaginative art. By focusing on descriptive language, exploring styles, and using structures like callbacks for complex scenes, you can significantly improve your results.

Keep experimenting with these ideas. Future Midjourney updates will likely add even more features to explore!
