Keywords

๐Ÿ’กSlash 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.

๐Ÿ’กBlend

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.

๐Ÿ’กStyle 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.

๐Ÿ’กGPU 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.

๐Ÿ’กSticky 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.

๐Ÿ’กRemix 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.

๐Ÿ’กAspect 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.

๐Ÿ’กVariability 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.

๐Ÿ’กTurbo 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.

๐Ÿ’กCustom 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.

๐Ÿ’กJob 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.
