How to make the most of Midjourney

You can use Midjourney to achieve any result. However, creating AI art is not as simple as just entering what you want and the bot will read your mind. Instead, there are a few ways to ensure that you get something you're happy with from Midjourney.

The first and easiest thing you can do is use the buttons below the generated image to instruct the AI ​​to do what you want. The buttons labeled U are for upscaling the respective image, with U1 upscaling the first image, etc. This simply increases the resolution of the image, suitable if you want a quality image higher.

Below that, you can find the corresponding V-labeled buttons in the same way. These buttons create variations of the selected image. There's also a Redo button that will repeat the same prompt but produce completely new results.

You can repeat this process as many times as you like, and it's a good way to narrow down what you want when all the work is done. However, the easiest way for Midjourney to generate what you're looking for is to feed it more information.

Midjourney seems to give the best results if you separate the information with commas, so if you're looking for a certain art style, you could type, for example, '/imagine the night full of fire, hyper reality' .

The last thing you can do to get better results from Midjourney is to include parameters in the content. Midjourney includes a series of different parameter options that allow you to adjust the output of the image. You can learn more about these parameters in the official documentation.

A pretty useful example of these parameters is aspect , which allows you to adjust the size and shape of the provided image. By default, these will be square, which is not very suitable if you want to use images generated by Midjourney as your desktop background.

Some notes when using MidJourney

1. The more detailed the command, the better the image created, but there is a barrier: MidJourney only accepts English commands.
2. Each account will get 25 free paintings, including command paintings, redraws from a previous command, and variant paintings using V-buttons.
3. After the free drawing session ends, if you want to continue painting, you will have to buy subscription packages provided by MidJourney, the cheapest is 10 USD, the most expensive is 600 USD.
4. Paid subscription customers will be provided with a separate Bot so they can work independently with that Bot to ensure privacy as well as processing speed.

Hope you guys create many beautiful photos with MidJourney
