Unlock the Full Potential of Midjourney: A Comprehensive Guide to Parameters

Midjourney is a powerful tool for creating amazing images from text prompts. But to really get the most out of it, you need to understand its parameters. These parameters let you control various aspects of the image generation process, from aspect ratio to model version. This guide will give you a crash course in Midjourney parameters, so you can start creating exactly what you envision.

Understanding Midjourney Parameters

When you enter a text prompt, Midjourney uses its default settings. Parameters let you change these defaults. They are added to the end of your prompt, starting with two dashes (--), followed by the parameter name and its value. For example: --ar 3:4 sets the aspect ratio to 3:4.

Here is a breakdown of the key parameters you should know:

Model Version

The version parameter controls which Midjourney model is used to generate your images. Using different models will significantly impact your results. You can specify the model version using --version or --v, followed by the version number. For example, --v 5.1 will use model version 5.1.

Current values you can use with the version parameter include:

• --v 3

• --v 4

• --v 5

• --v 5.1

• --v 5.2

• --v 6

You can also use --test and --testp for older models. And you can use --niji followed by a number for anime-trained models.

Aspect Ratio

Aspect ratio is the relationship between the width and height of your image. The default is 1:1 (square). To change it, use --ar followed by the desired ratio (e.g., --ar 16:9 for a widescreen image). You must use whole numbers. The V6 model allows aspect ratios up to approximately 14:1 or 1:14.

Chaos

Chaos affects the diversity of the images in your grid. The default value is 0. You can increase chaos using --chaos or --c followed by a number up to 100. Higher values will create more diverse results. I like to use chaos 5 to add some variation to my images.

Style Parameters

Midjourney has several parameters that control the style of your images:

• Stylize (--stylize or --s): Controls the strength of Midjourney's default aesthetic. The default is 100, and the range is 0-1000. Higher values create more stylized images.

• Style Reference (--sref): Applies the aesthetic elements of a reference image to your results. You can use image URLs, sref codes, or the word "random". Style weight (--sw) controls the influence of the style reference.

• Style (--style): Minimizes Midjourney's influence on the results, which is useful for photorealistic images. Use --style raw.

Quality

The quality parameter controls how much time and power Midjourney uses to generate your images. The default value is 1. Lower values generate images faster but with less detail, while higher values take longer but produce more detailed images. Different models accept different quality values.

Speed

Three parameters control image generation speed: --turbo, --fast, and --relax. Turbo and fast use your fast GPU hours, while relax does not (and is not available with all subscriptions). You can set your default speed in your settings, but you can override it with these parameters.

Repeat

Repeat tells Midjourney to run the same prompt multiple times. Use --repeat or --r followed by the number of times you want to run the prompt (e.g., --r 5). This can only be used with fast or turbo mode.

Video

The video parameter creates a short time-lapse of your image grid being generated. Include --video in your prompt. After the image grid is generated, react to it with the envelope emoji to receive a direct message from the Midjourney bot with a link to the video.

Stop

The stop parameter lets you end image generation early. Use --stop followed by a value between 10 and 100 (e.g., --stop 50). This can be useful for creating softer, more abstract results.

Image Weight

Image weight (--iw) can only be used with image prompts. It controls how much influence the images have on your results. The default value is 1, and it takes decimal values between 0 and 3 in Midjourney V6.

Character Reference

Character reference (--cref) tries to match the character in a reference image. Paste the URL of your character reference image after --cref. Character weight (--cw) controls how closely Midjourney matches the clothing and hairstyle of the reference character. The default value is 100, and the range is 0-100.

Personalization

Personalization (--p) lets you create your own custom Midjourney model. You first need to teach Midjourney about your style. When enabled, your personalized model will override the default Midjourney aesthetic. The stylize parameter controls the strength of your personalized model when personalization is enabled.

No

The no parameter tells Midjourney what you don't want in your image. Add --no followed by whatever you want to exclude (e.g., --no trees, birds). Separate multiple items with commas.

Tile

Tile creates repeating patterns. Just add --tile to your prompt. The resulting images can be tiled to create a seamless repeating pattern. Be sure to use version 6.1 or higher when upscaling tile results.

Seed

Each Midjourney job starts with a canvas of visual noise, and each noise pattern is linked to a seed number. If you want to use a specific seed number, use the seed parameter (e.g., --seed 1234). This is useful for testing how parameter values or prompt modifications affect results.

Weird

The weird parameter (--weird or --w) creates strange and unexpected results. The default value is 0, and it takes values up to 3000. It can take some experimenting to see what value you prefer for a given prompt.
