How to use Midjourney Commands

Midjourney unlocks a universe of artistic possibilities, but mastering its controls can feel overwhelming. Fear not, aspiring artists! This guide will demystify Midjourney’s modes and commands, empowering you to sculpt your imagination into stunning visuals.

Public Mode

• Your creations are visible to the public.
• Other users can see your artwork, the prompts used, and the seeds used to generate the images.
• Ideal for users who want to share their work, learn from other prompts, or seek feedback.

Stealth Mode

• Your creations are not visible to the public.
• Other users cannot see your artwork, the prompts used, or the seeds used to generate the images.
• Ideal for users who want to keep their work private, experiment with new prompts without worrying about others seeing it, or protect their ideas.

Remix Mode

Remix Mode allows you to add to and refine the prompt from an existing job.

To use Remix Mode:

1. Type /settings and enable Remix Mode (the green color indicates that it is enabled).
2. Select the version of the image you want to remix (e.g., V4).
3. A popup will appear where you can remix or refine the work of the selected version.
4. Experiment by adding words to the prompt.

In the example, the word “in the night” was added to the prompt. This resulted in a change in the atmosphere of the image. For more significant changes, add more words to the prompt.

Describe

Describe allows you to upload an image and have the AI generate four possible prompts based on the image.

To delete a value from a Prefer Option, use the following command:

/prefer option set <name to delete>

1. Type /describe and select the option to upload an image.
2. Once you have selected an image, press Enter on your keyboard.
3. You will then receive four prompts.

Fast Mode & Relax Mode

Fast Mode:

• Works quickly and is available from the Basic Plan.

Relax Mode:

• Works slowly.

Custom Preferences

Custom Preferences allow you to create custom options using the desired commands to automatically add commonly used parameters to the end of your prompts.

Commands:

• /prefer suffix: Suffix command
• /prefer option: Create or manage option names
• /prefer option list: Show a list of all created options
• /prefer auto_dm: Automatically send a message when the job is finished

Command Examples

• /public: Open Public Mode
• /private: Close Public Mode
• /remix: Open Remix Mode
• /describe: Analyze an image
• /fast: Set Fast Mode
• /relax: Set Relax Mode
• /prefer suffix --by Bard: Add suffix “by Bard”

This is a great list of advanced parameters you can use with the “/imagine” command in Midjourney! Here’s a breakdown of each parameter and its function:

General Parameters:

• beta: Uses an experimental algorithm for generating images, potentially creating unpredictable but unique results.
• hd: Uses an older algorithm for generating higher-resolution images, potentially taking longer and costing more.
• aspect/-ar: Creates images with a specific aspect ratio (e.g., 16:9, 4:3).
• w & h: Sets the desired width and height of the image in pixels.
• seed: Influences the image generation by using a specific seed value.
• sameseed: Generates all subsequent images using the same seed for consistent variations.
• no (e.g., -no plants): Excludes a specific element from the generated image.

Creative Control Parameters:

• iw: Sets the weight of the image prompt, influencing how closely the image adheres to the prompt.
• stylize: Adjusts the strength of the Midjourney’s artistic style on the image.
• q: Controls the image quality, potentially requiring longer generation time and higher cost for higher quality.
• chaos: Introduces controlled randomness into the image generation, creating more organic and unexpected results.

Performance & Workflow Parameters:

• fast: Generates images faster but with potentially lower consistency and detail, reducing cost.
• stop: Cancels the current image generation process.
• video: Saves a video showing the progress of the image generation.
• v <1 or 2>: Uses an older algorithm for the final improvement stage of image generation, potentially affecting the final style.
• uplight: Uses the “light” upscale method for generating images, possibly offering different qualities or effects.

Remember to use these parameters carefully and consult the Midjourney documentation for more detailed information and examples. Experimenting with different combinations can help you achieve your desired creative vision!

This is a great explanation of the /describe and /blend features in Midjourney! Here’s a breakdown of your points:

Describe (/describe):

• Uploads an image and generates four text prompts based on its visual elements.
• Helps discover new vocabulary and aesthetic styles, sparking inspiration for new creations.
• Generates suggestive prompts, not guaranteed to replicate the image precisely.
• Provides the aspect ratio of the uploaded image.

Blend (/blend):

• Seamlessly combines the concepts and aesthetics of 2-5 uploaded images into a single, unique image.
• Functions similarly to /imagine but optimized for mobile devices.
• Supports up to 5 images directly; use /imagine for more than 5 or text prompts.
• Doesn’t support text prompts directly; combine images and text through /imagine.

Additional Notes:

• Clearly explain the limitations and strengths of each feature.
• Provide alternative solutions for users with specific needs (e.g., using /imagine for text prompts).
• Consider adding user tips or examples for better understanding.

Overall, this information effectively portrays the functionalities of /describe and /blend, making it valuable for potential Midjourney users!
