Your Guide to Creating Great AI Images with Midjourney's Web Tool

Midjourney is a powerful tool for creating images with Artificial Intelligence. You can use it to make unique artwork for many things. Think of striking thumbnails for YouTube, stylish images for your newsletter, or fun assets for video games. You can even create character concepts or just look for new ideas.

Using Midjourney means you don't have to make images like everyone else. You can quickly and easily create images that show your own style. This post will walk you through using Midjourney's web app step by step, starting from the beginning.

Why Consider Midjourney?

Some people might think Midjourney isn't worth the cost because it isn't free. But it offers a lot for your money.

• High Quality: It makes amazing images in almost any style, from real-looking art to drawings.

• Simple to Use: It's easy for both new users and those with more experience.

• Very Fast: You can get impressive results in moments.

• Make It Yours: The results are very easy to change, helping you build a unique style.

• Stay Updated: As a top AI image tool, you always get the newest features quickly.

• Affordable: Plans start at just a few dollars a month.

While I can't offer a discount, I've used this tool since 2022 and seen how good it is. For unlimited creations, the $24 a month plan is a good choice.

Creating images with AI opens up new possibilities for your work. To handle many creative projects, you might want to look into ways to manage and speed up your AI image generation. A tool like the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT can help by automating parts of your workflow and making it easier to keep track of everything.

Understanding the Midjourney Web Interface

If you are new to Midjourney, let's look at the web app layout. When you first log in, you will see a big gallery. This is like a showcase or public gallery. You can see images others have made here. Everything you create is public here, though with many users, finding your exact image is hard.

The most useful part of the gallery view is the search bar. You can search for specific types of images. For example, you can type "Fantasy" for fantasy pictures, "Photography" or "Fashion photography" for those styles, "Portrait" for portraits, or even "architecture" or "weird" to see different things. You can search using one word or many words at once to find images that match your interest.

Creating Your Own Images

The "Create" section is where you make your images. Right at the top, there is a bar where you type what you want to see. This is your prompt or instruction for the AI.

There is no perfect way to write a prompt, but some ways work better than others. A good start is often to describe the style first. For example, you could put "Photography of..." if you want a photo. You could also ask for a "watercolor," a "3D render," or a "sketch." Saying the style first often helps the AI understand what you want.

After the style, add your main subject or object. For example, "Photography of a dog." Then, you can place it in a scene or describe what it is doing, like "Photography of a dog flying over the world." This is the basic structure.

You can add many details. The AI pays close attention to what you write at the beginning of your prompt. You can also use more natural language descriptions, like describing a scene from a book. While older versions used specific keywords like "hyper realistic 8k uhd Ultra detailed," newer models understand plain language better. So, describing exactly what you want works well.

Getting More Specific

You can add more descriptive words to guide the AI. Think about lighting, mood, colors, or details you want to include. The more specific you are, especially at the start, the better the AI can match your idea.

Managing many detailed prompts and tracking different versions can become complex as you create more images. Tools designed for Midjourney, like the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT, can help organize your work, save your best prompts, and manage multiple creative tasks, making your process smoother.

Adjusting Your Generation Speed

Midjourney lets you change how fast your images are created. Look for the three dots near the creation bar. One of the options there is about speed.

• Turbo Mode: This is the fastest but uses your generation hours quickly.

• Fast Mode: This is the normal speed and uses hours regularly.

• Relax Mode: This is slower but does not use your generation hours. Great for when you are just exploring or testing.

You can change this setting easily here. For tutorials, Turbo is fast, but for trying out ideas, Relax mode is very helpful.

Setting the Look: Aspect Ratio and Aesthetics

Next to speed, you can find options for image size and aesthetics. The "size" setting isn't the image resolution (that's fixed by Midjourney at first); it's the aspect ratio, like 16:9 for wide images. You can use a slider or preset options like square, portrait, or landscape to choose the shape of your image.

The aesthetics section offers ways to control the artistic style:

• Stylize (St): This tells Midjourney how much to invent based on your prompt. A high number (up to 1000) means Midjourney adds lots of details, colors, and saturation. A low number (zero) means it sticks closely to your words.

• Weird (W): This makes images a bit more unusual or exaggerated. It can create odd perspectives or strange-looking subjects.

• Chaos (C): This setting (from 0 to 100) makes the results more varied and less predictable. It can give you images that are quite different from what you asked for, which can be good for finding unexpected looks.

You can experiment with combining these settings to find unique styles.

Choosing Your AI Model

Midjourney has different models you can use from the "Models" section:

• Standard: The main model.

• Raw: This model gives you a look closer to your prompt with fewer of Midjourney's default artistic filters. It helps capture your ideas with more detail.

• Versions: You can choose different versions of the model (like 6.1 or earlier ones). Older versions might be more creative but slower. There are also Niji versions (4-6) specifically trained for anime and manga styles.

Using Style References

One great feature is using images as style guides. After writing your prompt, you can click the image icon and upload pictures. By selecting the "clip" icon on the uploaded image, you tell Midjourney to use it as a style reference.

Midjourney can pick up colors, lighting, mood, and even composition cues from your reference image. You can even use multiple images to mix styles.

Adding Weight to Style

You can control how much influence a style image has using a parameter called "Style Weight." You add this to your prompt like `--sw` followed by a number (from 0 to 1000). A higher number means the style image has more impact.

Note that there might be a limit on how much influence increasing the number further actually adds. So, sometimes a weight of 50 might look similar to 100. Experiment to find the right balance.

The Personalize Tool

For even more precise style control, the "Personalize" tool is very helpful. It's a way to tell Midjourney what kind of images you like.

You can create profiles, like a Standard profile where you rate images Midjourney shows you, or a Moodboard profile where you upload your own images (like your artwork, movie frames, or photos) to use as a style guide. This helps Midjourney learn your preferred look.

Think of Personalize like adding a small extra style package (sometimes called a Lora) to the main AI model. It helps transfer styles accurately, affecting details, colors, composition, and more.

This feature is perfect for users who have a specific artistic style they want to apply consistently. For creators who need consistent styles across many images, perhaps for branding or story projects, automating this process can save a lot of time. The Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT is built to help manage consistent character and style creation efficiently.

Editing Your Creations

Midjourney also has an "Edit" tool with two main functions: Inpainting and Retexture.

Inpainting: Modifying Parts

Inpainting lets you change specific areas of an image you generated or uploaded. You can move the image on a canvas, zoom in or out, or even select different aspect ratios to expand the image (Outpainting).

You use an erase brush to remove parts of the image you want to change. Then, you write a new prompt for the erased area. Midjourney will fill in that area based on your new prompt and the rest of the image's style, lighting, and colors. This is useful if the first generation wasn't perfect or you want to add or change something small.

Importantly, images you upload or generate and then edit here are private. No one else can see them, which is good for working on personal projects or confidential work.

[H3]Retexture: Changing the Surface Look[/H2]

Retexture lets you change the surface appearance of an image while keeping the overall structure and layout similar. You can apply a different style or texture to the whole image.

For example, you could turn a photo into something looking like a 3D render or apply a wood and rock texture to an architectural sketch. Midjourney analyzes the image's structure, edges, and depth to apply the new texture or style. It doesn't change the placement of objects but changes how they look. This can be helpful for artists, architects, or 3D modelers looking for ideas on how things could appear.

Creative Scaling and More

Beyond these tools, mastering "creative scaling" is key. Don't just stop with the first image result. Scaling options allow you to add more details and give your image a more polished, final look. This is essential for getting professional results.

There's also the topic of using your images legally and for marketing, plus techniques to improve both your creativity and how many images you can create efficiently.

Conclusion

Midjourney's web app offers many tools to create amazing and unique AI images. From basic prompting and speed control to advanced techniques like style references, personalize, and editing, you have many ways to bring your ideas to life.

These tools help you go beyond simple image creation and build your own visual style. Keep practicing and trying different settings. You learn a lot by experimenting.
