TLDRThis video tutorial delves into the various commands available in Midjourney, an AI art tool. It covers how to blend multiple images using the '/blend' command, create custom styles with '/tune', and refine them with the style tuner. The video also explains how to set a 'sticky style' for continuous use and change the model or adjust style levels with '/settings'. Privacy options like '/public' and '/stealth' are discussed, along with speed modes like '/turbo' and '/relax'. The tutorial demonstrates how to use '/remix' for variations, '/high variation' and '/low variation' for diversity in outputs, and '/show' to revisit previous jobs. It introduces 'SL describe' for generating prompts from images and 'SL shorten' for concise prompts. The '/info' command is highlighted for account management, and interactive features like 'SL ask' and 'SL help' for getting assistance are also covered.

Q & A

  • What is the primary function of the 'slash blend' command in Midjourney?

    -The 'slash blend' command is used to blend two to five images together, allowing users to upload and combine multiple images to create a single, blended artwork.

  • How can a user subscribe to a paid plan on Midjourney?

    -To subscribe to a paid plan, users can type 'SLS subscribe' into Discord, which will allow them to sign up for a plan.

  • What does the 'slash tune' command do in Midjourney?

    -The 'slash tune' command is used to create a custom style. It prompts the user for a style they want to create, such as a 3D render, and then provides information on the cost and options for the number of images to generate.

  • How does the 'sticky style' feature work in Midjourney?

    -The 'sticky style' feature, when turned on with 'slash setting', makes the system continue to use the selected style for image generation as long as the style is entered after activating the toggle. It can be turned off when the user is finished with that style.

  • What is the purpose of the 'slash public' and 'slash stealth' commands?

    -The 'slash public' command makes the user's images public, while 'slash stealth' makes them private. This is particularly useful for users on the Pro Plan and above who want to control the visibility of their generated images.

  • How can users adjust the variation in image generation?

    -Users can toggle between high variation and low variation mode by typing '/prefer variability'. This adjusts the diversity of the generated images.

  • What does the 'slash remix' command do in Midjourney?

    -The 'slash remix' command allows users to make changes to their prompt when using different features of Midjourney, such as creating variations or upscales. It provides the option to alter the original prompt for each new image generation.

  • How can users add a suffix to their prompts automatically?

    -Users can use the 'slash prefer suffix' command followed by the desired suffix. This will automatically append the suffix to the end of their prompts during image generation.

  • What is the 'slash show' command used for?

    -The 'slash show' command is used to bring up the original grid of images from a specific job by entering the job ID. This allows users to revisit and potentially create variations or further edits of their past images.

  • How does the 'slash describe' feature assist users in creating prompts?

    -The 'slash describe' feature allows users to upload an image and generate prompts from that image. It also provides four different prompts based on the uploaded image, which can be used to create images with various styles and themes.

  • What information does the 'slash info' command provide about a user's account?

    -The 'slash info' command provides information about the user's account, including their user ID, subscription details, remaining GPU hours, and lifetime usage, helping users to manage their account resources effectively.

  • How can users get help or access documentation within Midjourney?

    -Users can type 'slash ask' to ask a question and receive an answer with a link to the documentation for further reading. Additionally, 'slash docs' provides a list of documentation, 'slash faq' offers frequently asked questions, and 'slash daily theme' allows participation in daily themed image generation.

Keywords

💡Slash Commands

Slash commands are special text-based commands used within the context of the Midjourney AI Art platform to perform various actions. In the video, these commands are used to initiate different features such as image blending, style tuning, and setting preferences. For instance, '/blend' is used to combine multiple images, and '/tune' is for creating a custom style, which is central to the video's theme of exploring Midjourney's capabilities.

💡Blend

Blending is the process of combining two or more images into a single image. In the context of the video, the '/blend' command is used to mix up to five images together to create a composite image. This is demonstrated when the user types '/blend' and uploads several images to be merged, showcasing the AI's ability to integrate different visual elements.

💡Style Tuner

A style tuner is a feature that allows users to create and apply a specific visual style to their images. The video explains how to use the '/tune' command to generate a style based on a given prompt, like '3D render of a cyborg dog'. The style tuner then provides a style code that can be applied to future image generations, which is a key concept in customizing the output of the AI.

💡GPU Time

GPU time refers to the processing time used by the graphics processing unit (GPU) to render images. In the video, it is mentioned in the context of style tuning, where the AI provides information on the cost of GPU time required to create a certain number of images in a specific style. This is an important concept as it relates to the resources needed and the potential costs associated with using the AI for image generation.

💡Sticky Style

Sticky style is a setting that, when enabled, causes the AI to continue using a selected style for subsequent image generations as long as the style is specified in the command. This feature is mentioned in the script when discussing the '/settings' command, and it is used to maintain consistency in the style of generated images, which is crucial for users looking to create a series of thematically similar images.

💡Remix Mode

Remix mode is a feature that allows users to modify the prompt when using certain features of Midjourney, such as variations or upscales. The command '/remix' is used to toggle this mode on or off. When enabled, it provides the flexibility to alter the original prompt, adding a layer of interactivity and creativity to the image generation process, as shown when the user types '/remix' and then makes changes to the image prompt.

💡Aspect Ratio

Aspect ratio refers to the proportional relationship between the width and the height of an image. In the video, the term is used in conjunction with the 'AR' suffix in commands to specify the desired dimensions of the generated images. For example, 'AR 16:9' would create an image with a widescreen aspect ratio, which is important for users who need images for specific display formats.

💡Variability Mode

Variability mode is a setting that toggles between high and low variation in the generated images. The script mentions using '/prefer variability' to switch between these modes. High variation mode produces more diverse results, while low variation mode generates images that are more similar to each other, offering users control over the creative output diversity.

💡Turbo Mode

Turbo mode is a command ('/turbo') that, when activated, accelerates the image generation process at the cost of higher GPU time usage. This mode is contrasted with 'fast mode' and 'relax mode' in the video, with the latter being a cost-free option for generating images without consuming GPU time. Turbo mode is ideal for users who need images quickly, albeit with increased resource expenditure.

💡Custom Codes

Custom codes are user-defined settings that can be applied to image generation prompts to create specific effects or styles. The video demonstrates how to create a custom code using 'SL prefer option' and then apply it to a prompt with a command like 'hypo1'. This feature allows users to save and reuse specific settings for a personalized experience with the AI art tool.

💡Job ID

A job ID is a unique identifier assigned to a particular image generation task or 'job' within the Midjourney platform. In the script, the user copies a job ID to use with the '/show' command in Discord, which allows them to retrieve and interact with a previous image generation session. This is useful for continuing work on existing images or exploring variations of previously generated content.
