How to Create Images Using Midjourney

Setting Up

• If required, set up Discord as per the platform’s guidelines. Sign up for a Midjourney account. Here is the Desktop Installation guide. For the mobile apps, check out the Getting Started on Mobile guide.

Basic Commands: Your First Steps on How to Create Images Using Midjourney

• Start with a prompt using /imagine followed by your idea. For example: /imagine a serene beach at sunset. When the images are generated, you will see buttons below them labeled U1 – U4 for upscaling, and V1 – V4 for creating variations of the images.

Improving Image Quality

• Upscale your chosen image by clicking on the corresponding U button (e.g., U1 for the first image). If unsatisfied with the generated images, click the regenerate button to try another concept based on the original prompt1.

Creating Variations

• Click on one of the V buttons (e.g., V1 for the first image) to create variations of that image.

Advanced Commands: Deeper Dive on How to Create Images Using Midjourney

• Use additional parameters to control the output, such as –q for image quality, and -–ar for aspect ratio, e.g., /imagine a serene beach at sunset —q3 –ar 16:9.
• Upload your own image with image prompts and combine them with –iw to adjust the image’s importance in relation to the text portion of your prompt1.
• Utilize Remix mode by typing /prefer remix to change prompts, parameters, or aspect ratios of an existing image.

Experiment with Styles

• You can experiment with different styles by using the –style parameter as per the Midjourney documentation2. Example: if wanting a photo-realistic style, you might use a prompt like /imagine a serene beach at sunset –style photorealistic.

Review and Save

• Review the generated images and save your preferred ones.

This guide should help you navigate the basics and some advanced features of Midjourney for image creation. Remember, the key to mastering Midjourney is experimentation and practice with different commands and parameters to get the desired output.
