Q & A

  • What is the process of registering for Midjourney?

    -To register for Midjourney, you need to visit midjourney.com, click on 'join the beta', and you will be transferred to Discord. If you are not already registered on Discord, you will need to create an account or log in with your existing one. After registration, confirm your email by clicking on the link Discord sends to your email. This is necessary for creating your server.

  • How can one create cool photos using Midjourney?

    -To create photos with Midjourney, you need to use the command 'slash imagine' followed by a prompt that describes the image you want to generate. Midjourney will then create images based on your prompt. You can also create variations of the generated images or upscale them for more detail.

  • What are the different subscription options for Midjourney?

    -Midjourney offers a free option that provides approximately 20 to 30 images. For a paid subscription, for ten dollars per month, you get 200 minutes to generate images and unlimited generations in relaxed mode. For thirty dollars, you get 15 hours and unlimited generations in relax mode, and for sixty dollars, you have 30 hours of fast generations available.

  • How can I keep track of my image generation requests in Midjourney?

    -You can keep track of your requests by clicking on the inbox icon in the Discord interface. This will show you all your requests, making it easier to find your completed images among other users' requests.

  • What is the purpose of creating your own server in Midjourney?

    -Creating your own server in Midjourney allows for a more comfortable and personalized work environment. It can be particularly useful if you are working on projects that require privacy or if you want to avoid the feed getting cluttered with other users' requests.

  • How can I find good prompts for image generation in Midjourney?

    -You can find good prompts by looking at what other users have created in the 'newbies' rooms, visiting the Midjourney community for cool picks, or using prompt helpers and GitHub websites that provide categorized prompts. You can also experiment with your own creative prompts.

  • What is the 'blend mode' in Midjourney and how is it used?

    -The 'blend mode' in Midjourney allows you to mix elements from different images. To use it, you type 'slash blend' in the query string and upload two pictures that you want to blend. Midjourney will then generate images that combine features from both pictures.

  • How can I change the orientation of the generated images in Midjourney?

    -In Midjourney, you can specify the orientation of the generated images by adding a command to the query string. For example, 'AR3:2' will produce a more horizontal image, while 'AR2:3' will result in a more vertical image.

  • What does the 'weight' parameter in Midjourney do?

    -The 'weight' parameter in Midjourney allows you to control the prominence of different elements in the generated image. By specifying weights, you can determine how much emphasis the AI should place on each part of your prompt when creating the image.

  • How can I remove unwanted elements from the generated images?

    -To remove unwanted elements, you can use the 'weight' parameter by assigning a value close to zero to the element you want to minimize or remove. Alternatively, you can use the 'no' parameter to specifically exclude certain elements from the image.

  • What are the different modes available in Midjourney for image generation?

    -Midjourney offers several modes for image generation, including public mode, where created images are shared in the community, and private mode, which keeps your work private and not displayed in public rooms. There is also remix mode for blending queries, fast mode for using minutes of paid subscriptions, and relaxed mode for unlimited generations with some expectation of results.

  • How can I save the generated images from Midjourney?

    -To save a generated image, you can click on the image to open it in the browser, then right-click and select 'save image as' to download it to your device. If you want to save only one version, such as an upscaled image, you should first upscale the image and then follow the same process.
