How to Get a Job ID in Midjourney
TLDRIn this tutorial, Christian Heidorn demonstrates how to obtain and utilize a job ID in Midjourney to remaster old images with updated algorithms. He explains two methods: using Discord reactions and the Midjourney web app. The video emphasizes the importance of job IDs for revisiting and enhancing previous creations while highlighting the limitations to maintain respect for other users' work.
Takeaways
- 📷 **Job ID Retrieval**: You can obtain the job ID of an image in Midjourney through Discord or the Midjourney web app.
- 🔍 **Discord Method**: Right-click on the 'add reaction' button and select the standard envelope to request job details via DM.
- 📚 **Web App Method**: In the Midjourney web app, find the three-dot icon on an image's page, click it, and select 'copy job ID'.
- 🔗 **Continuing Work**: The job ID allows you to continue working on an old image using newer versions of Midjourney's algorithm.
- 📈 **Remastering Images**: You can remaster an old image to see how experimental algorithms perform on it.
- 🚫 **Ownership Restrictions**: You can only retrieve the seed and job details for images you own, preventing unauthorized use of others' work.
- 🤖 **Mid Journey Bot**: The bot in Discord can send you the job details, including the full prompt and job ID, upon request.
- 🔄 **Remastering Process**: Remastering does not regenerate the image with a specific version but combines experimental algorithms to yield variations.
- 👥 **Community Feed**: While you can view job IDs of other users' images, you cannot load them into your chat history without being the owner.
- 📝 **Caution with Web App**: The Midjourney web app may have bugs and inconsistencies in how it categorizes images.
- 📌 **Navigating the Web App**: To find an image in the web app, search your main profile and use the three-dot icon to access the job ID.
- 📧 **Direct Messaging**: The job ID can be sent to you via DM after interacting with the Midjourney bot in Discord.
Q & A
What is the main topic of the video?
-The main topic of the video is how to get a Job ID of an image in Midjourney and use that Job ID to retrieve and remaster an old image.
Why might someone want to use a Job ID to retrieve an old image?
-Someone might want to use a Job ID to retrieve an old image to continue working on it with newer versions of Midjourney's algorithm to see what improvements or changes can be made.
How does one get the Job ID from an image using Discord?
-To get the Job ID from an image using Discord, you right-click on the 'add reaction' button, select the standard envelope, and the Midjourney bot will send you the job details, including the Job ID, in a direct message.
What is the purpose of the Midjourney web app?
-The Midjourney web app allows users to manage their images, including finding and copying the Job ID of their images, which can then be used to retrieve and remaster those images.
Why might the presenter not be a big fan of the Midjourney web app?
-The presenter is not a big fan of the Midjourney web app because it is buggy and has issues with categorizing or attaching images to different accounts, which can lead to confusion.
How does the presenter retrieve an image from the Midjourney web app?
-The presenter finds the image within their main profile on the Midjourney web app, clicks on the three-dot icon next to the image, opens the context menu, and selects 'copy job ID' to retrieve the Job ID.
What happens when you try to remaster an image with a Job ID?
-When you remaster an image with a Job ID, the Midjourney bot combines the experimental algorithms 'Test' and 'Creative' to remaster the image, usually yielding two variations that are different from the original.
Why can't you load a job into your chat history if you're not the owner?
-You cannot load a job into your chat history if you're not the owner because the Midjourney bot has security measures in place to prevent unauthorized access and manipulation of other users' work.
What is the limitation when trying to copy the Job ID of another user's image?
-The limitation is that even if you copy the Job ID of another user's image, you cannot load it into your chat history or continue working on it because you are not the owner of that job.
Why doesn't the Midjourney bot provide the seed when you ask for job details?
-The Midjourney bot does not provide the seed to prevent users from being able to completely replicate someone else's work. The seed is only shown to the owner of the original job.
What does the presenter suggest doing after watching the video?
-The presenter suggests giving the video a thumbs up if found valuable, subscribing to the channel for future updates, and looking through the links provided in the description for more information.
What does the presenter mean by 'no stealing can go on' in the context of Midjourney?
-The presenter means that due to the security measures in place, such as only showing the seed to the job owner and not allowing non-owners to load jobs into their chat history, users cannot steal or replicate others' work without permission.

📷 Retrieving and Remastering Images with Mid-Journey's Job ID
In this tutorial, Christian Heidorn from Tokenized AI explains how to obtain the job ID of an image created with Mid-Journey's algorithm and use it to remaster old images. He discusses the importance of the job ID for continuing work on an image from the past, particularly when wanting to apply new or experimental algorithms to it. Heidorn outlines two methods for obtaining the job ID: one through Discord by using the 'add reaction' feature to request details from the Mid-Journey bot, and the other through the Mid-Journey web app where job IDs can be copied from a context menu. He also clarifies that only the owner of the job can access the seed and that the bot prevents unauthorized use of others' job IDs, ensuring no unauthorized replication of someone else's work.
🚫 Limitations on Using Others' Job IDs in Mid-Journey
Christian Heidorn continues the discussion by emphasizing the limitations surrounding the use of job IDs. He points out that while one can view and appreciate the community feed of images created by others, they cannot use those job IDs to load and continue working on someone else's images, as the Mid-Journey bot restricts this to the job owners only. This measure prevents any form of unauthorized replication or 'stealing' of another user's creative work. Heidorn concludes by encouraging viewers to like the video if they found it useful and to subscribe for updates on new releases, appreciating their time and engagement with the content.

Highlights
Christian Heidorn from Tokenized AI demonstrates how to get a job ID of an image in Midjourney.
Job ID is crucial for retrieving and remastering old images using newer versions of Midjourney's algorithm.
Two methods to obtain a job ID are presented: through Discord and the Midjourney web app.
Using the standard envelope reaction on Discord prompts the Midjourney bot to send job details via DM.
The job details include the full prompt, job ID, and seed (if you are the owner of the job).
The Midjourney web app allows users to copy the job ID from a context menu in their profile.
Images created in the official Midjourney Discord server can be categorized and retrieved using the web app.
Christian mentions the web app can be buggy and images may not always be correctly attached to accounts.
Remastered images with newer algorithms can yield completely different variations from the original.
The remaster function combines experimental algorithms test and creative to enhance the image.
Attempting to show a job ID of another user's image in Discord is restricted to the job owner.
