Get Great Midjourney Images Faster with Smart Prompting

Creating amazing images with Midjourney starts with your prompt. A good prompt acts like a shortcut, helping Midjourney understand your vision quickly. A confusing prompt, though, can slow you down and give you unexpected results. This guide will show you how to write clear, effective prompts, especially with Version 7's new features, to get the images you want on the first try.

Why Specificity Helps You Move Faster

In Midjourney, the clearer your prompt, the faster you'll see the results you expect. Think of it this way: good input leads to good output quickly. But what makes a prompt good?

With Version 7, the basics are still key:

• The Subject: Who or what is the main focus? For example, "California vibes, palm trees, and sunset."

• Style: What is the overall look or feel? For the California example, try "Vibrant colors, retro 80s style."

• Detail: Add just enough description to add to the scene. Maybe "warm atmosphere" for the sunset image.

• Terms: Include specific photography or art terms, but only if you know what they do. Adding "tourism photography" or "light bleeding on the left" can create specific effects shown in the images.

Avoid These Common Prompt Mistakes

Many people stuff their prompts with buzzwords or styles they see others use without understanding the context. Terms like "trending on Art Station," "4K," or using "hyper realistic" when they just want a photo look often don't help and can even hurt your results. Play around and see what works for *you* instead of just copying words.

Best Ways to Write Prompts for Better Results

Try prompting from broad ideas to specific details. You only need the right words, not lots of filler words. Start with your main subject, then add key features.

Here's an example:

"Cozy mountain cabin dusk cinematic high angle shot"

That's all you need. This is much better than using long, generated text full of unnecessary words. Version 7 understands natural language better, so simple, clear phrasing works best. Skip the fluff.

Use the Stylize Slider With Intention

The Stylize setting controls how much creative freedom Midjourney takes with your prompt. You can find this in your settings. The range is typically from 0 to 1000.

• Stylize 100: Results are more literal to your prompt.

• Stylize 500: Offers a good balance, often a sweet spot for Version 7.

• Stylize 1000: Gives you more wild, artistic results that might be different from your exact words.

Pro Tip: Use permutation brackets {} to test different stylize values quickly. For example, "your prompt --s {100, 500, 1000}" will generate images for all three values at once.

Bonus Tips for Personalizing Your Art

Midjourney offers new ways to make your art your own.

Try Voice Commands (V7 Feature)

With Draft mode turned on, you can use voice to build your prompt conversationally. For example, start with a base prompt, then add commands like "Make it dirty," "Change the aspect ratio to a square," or "Let's do stylize 1000." You can build your image step-by-step without typing.

Craft and Use Mood Boards

Mood boards help you guide Midjourney towards your personal style and taste. In your personalize settings, you can turn on mood boards.

You can create mood boards filled with images you like, maybe illustrations you've made or floral patterns you enjoy. When you turn on a mood board, Midjourney uses those saved images as inspiration to influence the style and look of your new creations. This is a powerful way to stop Midjourney from just doing its own thing and start reflecting your own unique look.

Using the right tools can also help you manage and utilize these mood boards and techniques more effectively. Check out the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT to see how automation can enhance your personalized art process.

Bringing It All Together

To get predictable results fast in Midjourney, focus on specific prompts. Clearly state the subject, style, and key details. Avoid using random buzzwords. Write your prompts by starting broad and adding details, trusting that Version 7 understands natural language.

Use the stylize slider intentionally to control creativity, maybe starting around 500. And experiment with new features like voice commands and mood boards to make the art feel more like *you*.
