Simple Tips for Creating Amazing Images in Midjourney

Ready to make incredible pictures with Midjourney AI? This guide shares helpful tips that can make your creative process smoother and help you get better results. We'll cover the basics, smart ways to work, and simple creative tricks. Let's get started.

Getting Started with Midjourney and Discord

Midjourney is the AI system that makes the images. To use it, you need to connect with it. This is where Discord comes in. Discord is a place where people connect online. Midjourney uses a Discord server so you can talk to the Midjourney bot and create images.

To begin, you usually join a Midjourney community server on Discord. Find a general channel where new users can create images. To make an image, type:

[LI]/imagine followed by a text description of what you want.[/LI]

Give the bot about a minute, and it will show you a grid of four images.

Understanding the Image Grid Buttons

Below the image grid, you’ll see buttons:

• U buttons (U1, U2, U3, U4): These are for upscaling. Click the U button corresponding to the image you like to get a larger, more detailed version.

• V buttons (V1, V2, V3, V4): These are for variations. Click the V button for an image if you like its look but want different versions based on it.

• Reroll button (Refresh icon): If you don't like any of the images, click this to try the prompt again and get four new options.

Using Remix Mode

[P]If you want to change specific parts of an image while keeping its general style, use remix mode. First, type [/LI][/UL]

/[LI]prefer remix to turn it on (or off). Then, when you click a V button, a box will pop up letting you edit the prompt before creating variations. The new images will use your edited prompt but be influenced by the image you chose.

Working More Efficiently

Community channels in Midjourney can be very busy. It's hard to find your own image jobs sometimes. Here are some tips to make things easier:

Work Directly with the Bot

The easiest way to keep track of your work is to send messages directly to the Midjourney bot. Find the Midjourney bot in the member list of a server, click on it, and start a direct message conversation (often by just typing "hi"). Now you can use the `/imagine` command privately. This keeps your jobs together and easy to find.

Create Your Own Discord Server

Another great option is to make your own Discord server. Then invite the Midjourney bot to join it. You can interact with the bot there just like in the main Midjourney server, but only you (and anyone else you invite) will see your work. This is a very clean workflow.

Helpful Emojis and Commands

Some emojis can help you manage jobs:

• The 'X' emoji: React to one of your pending jobs with 'X' to cancel it.

• The envelope emoji: React to a finished job with this emoji to have the image and job details sent to your direct messages with the bot. This includes the seed number and job ID.

Want to find an old image job? Every job has a unique ID. If you have the Job ID, you can use the `/show` command in Discord to bring that image back up. Just type `/show` followed by the Job ID.

Simple Creative Prompting Takes

To create amazing images, understand the parts of the `/imagine` command:

/imagine [image prompt] [text prompt] [parameters]

Text Prompts Tips

This is your description of the image. Midjourney is good at understanding natural language, but some tricks help:

• Use emojis: You can include emojis in your text prompt.

• Double Colons (::): Use :: to separate different ideas. Normally, Midjourney sees "car seat" as one thing (a seat for a car). If you type "car:: seat", it sees "car" and "seat" as separate ideas, often combining them in less expected ways.

• Assign Weights: You can give more importance to specific words. For example, "car::3 seat::1" makes the image focus much more on the car than the seat. Add a negative weight (like "purple::-0.5") to try and remove something you don't want. Make sure the total weight is a positive number.

Using Image Prompts

Image prompts go at the start of your prompt. You use a link to an online image. This image can influence the style or content of what you create. It's a great way to give your text prompt a specific look or combine the styles of different pictures. Make sure the link ends in .png, .gif, .jpg, etc. You can also drag and drop an image file directly into the prompt box.

Exploring Parameters

Parameters are settings you add at the end of your prompt (starting with --). They change how the image is made. Here are a few useful ones:

• --v (Version): Midjourney updates its AI model. You can choose older models using e.g., --v 4. Different models have different strengths.

• --ar (Aspect Ratio): This sets the width-to-height ratio (e.g., --ar 16:9 for a wide image). The default is --ar 1:1 (square). Experimenting with this changes the look of your image.

• --chaos: Adds randomness. A value of 0 (default) is predictable. Higher values (up to 100) make your results more surprising.

• --q (Quality): Controls the detail and processing time. --q 1 is default. Lower values (like --q 0.5 or --q 0.25) are faster with less detail. This doesn't change the image size.

• --s (Stylize): Controls how much Midjourney's artistic training is applied. --s 100 is the default. Lower values follow your prompt closely but are less "artistic". Higher values (up to 1000 in some versions) push for more artistic results.

• --no: This parameter is like using negative weights. Add '--no purple' to try and remove the color purple.

• --stop: Ends the job early. A default value is 100. Using a value between 10 and 100 (like --stop 50) creates a less finished, sometimes blurry effect.
