Midjourney Styles

General Styles

Will Wulfken has built an excellent Github repo called the Midjourney Styles & Keywords Reference

It can help you choose the right descriptive prompt language to create the effects you want.

Options

--beta

• new algo
• takes significantly longer to run
• 2 square images or 1 non-square image
• does not work with --hd, --stylize, and --q 5

--hd

• older algo
• better for larger images, but with less consistent composition
• best for abstract and landscape
• generates images at higher resolutions without the need to upscale

--aspect --ar

• generates images with the desired aspect ratio (--ar 16:9)

--w --h

• width and height of the image
• values used by --h and --w should be between 256 and 2034
• better as multiples of 64
• --ar is better supported

--seed

• sets the seed
• must be a positive integer [0, 4294967295]
• react with [envelope icon] to a job's message to know what seed value was used

--sameseed

• the seed affects all images of the resulting grid in the same way

--no

• negative prompting
• equivalent to using an advanced text weight of ::-0.5

--iw

• image prompt weight relative to text weight
• can be negative (e.g. -0.5)
• default: --iw 0.25

--stylize --s

• how strong of a 'stylization' your images have
• the higher you set it, the more opinionated it will be
• examples:
• --stylize 625 If you basically want to turn it off and be less artistic.
• --stylize 1250 Good for when you want it to be 'less strict' but still 'pretty' (this is probably recommended for skilled users).
• --stylize 2500 The default value, so you don't have to specify this.
• --stylize 20000 If you want it to 'take over' and start drifting from your text, but not go crazy.
• --stylize 60000 Hands off the wheels, who knows what will happen. It may look nothing like your prompt.
• default: --stylize 2500

--quality --q

• how much rendering quality time you want to spend
• higher values cost more and lower values cost less
• possible values (only use one of the values below; any other value will be rounded to a valid value instead):
• --quality 0.25 Rough results, 4x faster / cheaper.
• --quality 0.5 Less detailed results but 2x faster / cheaper.
• --quality 1 The default value, you do not need to specify it.
• --quality 2 More detailed results, but 2x slower and 2x the price (2 GPU minutes per /imagine).
• --quality 5 Kind of experimental, might be more creative or detailed... also might be worse! (5 GPU minutes per /imagine).
• default: 1

--chaos <0-100>

• how much more varied, random, and different the results will be
• higher values will favor more interesting and unusual generations in exchange for less reliable compositions

--fast

• faster images, less consistency, less expensive
• alternative to --q 0.5 and --q 0.25 (similar result)

--stop <10-100>

• stop the generation at an earlier percentage
• currently does not work with upscales

--video

• saves a progress video, which is sent to you in the [envelope icon]-triggered DM
• you must react with the envelope to get the video link
• currently does not work with upscales

--v <1,2,3>

• 1: the oldest model
• sometimes better for macro or textures
• formerly the "vibe" option
• 2: later model
• 3: current (default)

--uplight

• uses the "light" upscaler when selecting the U **** buttons
• results are closer to the original image, with less detail added during upscale
• ideal for faces and smooth surfaces

--test --creative --upbeta

• Artistic enhancement of the image

Text Prompts

Weights

Text Weights:

• hot dog::2 food::-1
• sends a text prompt of hot dog with the weight 2 and food of weight -1
• hot dog::0.5 animal::-0.25
• sends hot dog of weight 0.5 and animal of negative 0.25
• hot dog:: food::-1 animal::
• Sends hot dog of weight 1, food of weight -1 and animal of weight 1 (unspecified weights default to 1)
• hot dog animal::-1
• sends hot dog animal with weight -1, because of how it parses the text before the colon

Image and Text Weights:

• [image URL] [text prompt]
• with no weights specified results in a 20% image(s) / 80% text generation
• [image URL] [text prompt 1] --iw 1
• results in a 50% image(s) / 50% text generation
• [image URL] [text prompt 1]::2 [text prompt 2]::3 --iw 1
• results in a 1/6=17% image(s), 2/6= 33% text1, 3/6 = 50% text2
