Midjourney just added a powerful new tool called the Style Tuner. This feature lets you create your own unique visual style for your images. It's more than just setting a look; it helps control how the AI handles your prompts. Let's look at how you can use it to make your Midjourney pictures just the way you want them.
What the Midjourney Style Tuner Does
The Style Tuner is designed to help you define a specific visual flavor. Instead of getting random results each time you use a standard prompt, you can guide Midnight towards a look you prefer. Think of it as setting the overall mood, colors, and feeling you want your images to have.
Starting the Style Tuning Process
To begin, go to your prompt area in Midjourney. Type `/tune`.
The system will then ask you for a prompt. The tip here is to keep this prompt simple. If your tuning prompt is too complicated, the style you create might not work well across many different subjects.
Focus on words that describe a visual style, like "vintage," "retro futuristic," "Polaroid," "watercolor," or "faded colors." Once you enter your tuning prompt and hit enter, Midjourney will get ready to create your style test.
How the Style Tuning Session Works
After you submit your tuning prompt, a menu will appear. This is where you choose how many style options you want to see. You can choose 16, 32, 64, or 128 directions. For most people, starting with 16 is enough to get a good result.
You also choose between tuning the default mode or the style raw mode. Style Raw makes Midjourney follow your prompt words more closely. Default mode is the standard way it works. For starting out, the default mode is a good choice.
There is a cost to create this tuning session using GPU credits. The cost is much lower than generating the full set of images individually. But once you create the tuning session, using and sharing the style code is free.
Choosing Your Favorite Looks
When you get your tuning results, you will see pairs of images. Each pair represents two different visual directions based on your tuning prompt. Your task is to choose the image in each pair that you like best. You don't have to pick one in every pair. If you don't like either option in a pair, you can skip it.
Look at the images carefully. What kind of colors, lighting, or details do you prefer? If one side of a pair has a lot of color, know that choosing it will strongly influence your style. It is suggested to pick somewhere between 5 and 10 directions. Picking too few makes the style very specific, and picking too many makes it too general.
Getting and Using Your Custom Style Code
As you make your choices in the tuning quiz, you'll see a long style code update at the bottom of the page. This code represents the specific visual style you've picked based on the images you liked.
Once you are done selecting, you can copy this style code. To use it, go back to Midjourney and type your regular image prompt. Then, paste the style code after your prompt. Midjourney will then generate your images using the style you just created.
This gives you a lot of control over the final look of your generated images. You can even create different style codes for different types of images you want to make.
Managing many unique styles and prompts can be challenging. A tool like the TitanXT Midjourney Automation Suite can help keep everything organized and make using your custom styles easier. Say goodbye to manual copy-pasting for every image!
Tips for Using Your New Style
Keep your original tuning prompt simple and focused on general style terms.
When selecting images in the tuner, try to identify what you like about the overall mood or feel, not just specific details.
You can create multiple style codes from the same tuning quiz by making different selections.
Share your favorite style codes with others! They can use them too.
Experiment with combining different style codes you create or using them with different image prompts to see the variety of results you can get.
