Q & A
What is one of the tips provided for using the undo feature in Midjourney?
-If the chat times out on Discord, you can use the controls or the command 'Z' (the undo button) to backtrack through your prompts.
What aspect ratio is suggested for creating panorama images in Midjourney?
-The wider the aspect ratio, the better for panoramas. Aspect ratios such as 3x1, 4x1, or 5x1 are suggested for different types of panoramas.
How can you adjust the aspect ratio of an image in Midjourney?
-You can use custom zoom and change the zoom from 2 to 1 to adjust the aspect ratio of an image while keeping the focus on the subject.
How does custom zoom work differently on the Midjourney website?
-On the website, you can choose where the original image sits within the frame and adjust the shape of the frame using a slider.
What is a tip for generating full body shots without getting cut off in Midjourney?
-Mention something at the top, like hair or a hat, and something at the bottom, like shoes, to ensure the full body is included in the image.
What is the 'style random' feature in Midjourney?
-The 'style random' feature creates a completely random art style for a new generation of images, offering unique and varied results.
How can you remix an image from an older algorithm into the latest version in Midjourney?
-Generate the image in an older version, upscale it, ensure remix mode is on, and then make variations by changing the version to the latest algorithm.
What does using 'nii 5 style cute' in a prompt do in Midjourney?
-It triggers the nii bot, the anime style algorithm, and specifically requests the 'cute' style of that bot, resulting in a consistent character style.
What does including 'WF 2009' in a prompt achieve in Midjourney?
-It creates an intricate, small figurine look with extremely high detail, suitable for subjects like Batman versus The Joker.
How can you create the illusion of zooming in on an image in Midjourney?
-Start with an extremely zoomed-in picture, zoom out, and then reverse the set of images to create the effect of zooming in on a particular subject.
What is the 'archigram' style prompt in Midjourney?
-The 'archigram' style prompt creates grid-like images with a unique and artistic look, suitable for various subjects and offering a wide range of visual styles.
How can you use 'style reference' with different versions in Midjourney?
-You can include 'D-SV Style, version' followed by a number between 1 and 4 at the end of your prompt to point to a particular picture style for the next generation, with different versions offering varying levels of artistic interpretation and accuracy.
What is the purpose of using 'Dash Das no mockup' in a prompt?
-It ensures that Midjourney focuses only on generating the design and not an actual object like a t-shirt or a painting in a frame.
What is a good approach for creating a collage in Midjourney?
-Provide the bot with specific aspects or elements you want to appear in the collage along with the general art style to guide the generation process.
