Unlock the Power of Midjourney: A Complete Guide to Parameters

Midjourney is an amazing tool that lets you create images from text. It uses different settings, called parameters, to control things like how the image looks and which model to use. You can change these settings to get exactly what you want. This guide will explain all the important Midjourney parameters, so you can make the most of this powerful tool.

Understanding Midjourney Parameters

When you type a prompt, Midjourney uses its default settings. You can change these settings by adding specific parameters to your prompt. Parameters start with two dashes (--), followed by the parameter name and its value. For example:

--aspect 3:4

This tells Midjourney to create an image with a 3:4 aspect ratio. You can use multiple parameters by separating them with spaces.

Many parameters exist to customize your images. Let's explore some key ones:

Model Version

The version parameter controls which Midjourney model is used to generate your images. To use a specific model, add the version parameter to your prompt. For example:

--version 3 or --v 3

This will use the V3 model. Each model has a unique look and understands prompts differently. Current values are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5.1, 6, 6.1. Also available are test and testp models that can be called with:

--test or --testp

Midjourney also has anime-trained models. These can be called with:

--niji followed by the model number.

Aspect Ratio

Aspect ratio is the relationship between the width and height of your image. It’s written as width:height. The default is 1:1 (square). To change it, use:

--aspect followed by the ratio.

For example:

--ar 3:2

You must use whole numbers. V6 models allow 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. It accepts whole numbers up to 100 for maximum diversity. To use it, add:

--chaos or --c followed by the number.

For example:

--chaos 50

Style Parameters

Several parameters relate to style. These include:

• Stylize: Controls the strength of Midjourney's default visual style. Use --stylize or --s followed by a value from 0 to 1000. The default is 100. Higher values give more stylized results. This parameter is also used with personalization.

• Style Reference: Takes aesthetic elements from reference images, such as color palette, medium, texture, and overall style, and applies them to your results. Use --style_reference or --sref followed by image URLs or sref codes. You can also use --sref random for a random style.

• Style Weight: Controls the influence of the style reference. Use --style_weight or --sw followed by a value from 0 to 1000. The default is 100.

Style

Style minimizes the influence of Midjourney’s style on the results. It can be helpful for photorealistic images. Use:

--style raw

Quality

Quality controls how much time Midjourney spends generating your images. The default value is 1. Lower values generate images faster but with less detail. Higher values take longer but may produce more detailed images. Use:

--quality or --q followed by the value.

Different models accept different quality values.

Speed

Three parameters control how fast your images are generated:

• Turbo

• Fast

• Relax

Turbo and Fast use your fast GPU hours. Relaxed mode does not and is not available with all subscriptions. To override your default speed mode, include the parameter. For example:

--turbo

Repeat

Repeat tells Midjourney to run the same prompt multiple times. It can only be used with Fast or Turbo mode. Use:

--repeat or --r followed by the number of times to repeat the prompt.

For example:

--repeat 5

Video

Video creates a short time-lapse of your initial image grid being generated. To use it, include --video in the prompt. After the grid is complete, react to it with the envelope emoji to get a direct message from the Midjourney bot with a link to the video. Use this parameter on Discord instead of the web interface.

Stop

Stop ends image generation early. It takes values between 10 and 100. For example:

--stop 50

This stops the generation at 50% completion. It can be useful for softer, more abstract results.

Image Weight

Image Weight can only be used with image prompts. It controls how much influence the images have on your results. The default value is 1. In Midjourney V6, it takes decimal values between 0 and 3. To use it, add --iw followed by the value.

Character Reference

Character Reference matches a character from a reference image. To use it, type your prompt, then add:

--cref followed by the URL of your character reference image.

On the web, you can drag and drop the image, selecting the character icon. The character weight parameter (cw) controls how closely Midjourney matches the clothing and hairstyle. The default value is 100, with a range of 0 to 100.

Personalization

[P]Personalization lets you create your own custom Midjourney model based on your style. To use it, you first need to teach Midjourney about your style, then include --personalize or --p in your prompt. When enabled, your personalized model will override the default Midjourney aesthetic. The stylize parameter controls the strength of your personalized aesthetic when personalization is enabled.

No

No tells Midjourney what you don’t want in your image. Add --no followed by what you want to exclude, separating multiple items with commas. For example:

--no trees, birds

Tile

Tile creates repeating patterns. Just add --tile to your prompt. The resulting images can be tiled seamlessly. Use version 6.1 or higher for upscaling tile results.

Seed

Each Midjourney job starts with a canvas of visual noise, linked to a seed number. When you submit a job, a seed number is randomly assigned. To use a specific seed number, add --seed followed by the number. For example:

--seed 1234

Using the same seed number with the same prompt will yield similar results. Seed is useful for testing how parameter values or prompt modifications affect results.

Weird

Weird creates strange and unexpected results. The default value is 0. It takes values up to 3000. Higher values create increasingly weird results. To use it, add --weird or --w followed by the value. This parameter is incompatible with some other parameters.

Conclusion

Midjourney parameters give you a lot of control over your image generation. By understanding and using these parameters, you can create exactly what you envision. Experiment with different parameters and values to discover new possibilities. For the latest information, keep an eye on updates and new parameters, like the upcoming batch size parameter.
