 MIDJOURNEY FULL GUIDE
FROM DFA COURSE ACADEMY

Midjourney is a revolutionary art generator driven by AI 🚀, aiming to expand the limits of

human imagination by exploring novel forms of creative expression. With its interactive

bot powered by machine learning (ML) 🧠, this advanced AI system creates visually
captivating images based on textual input. Similar to technologies like DALL-E 2,

Midjourney employs cutting-edge concepts to transform ideas into stunning visual

realities 🎨.

Through Midjourney, users can effortlessly describe their desired visuals using text, and

the bot, utilizing its algorithms, searches for images that match the description 🔍. These
images are then combined in a unique and artistic manner, resulting in a completely

personalized artwork tailored to the user's preferences 🖌️. In essence, Midjourney's

interactive bot enables users to effortlessly craft their own customized masterpieces 🌟.

 How To Generate AI Art?
1. How to Use /imagine:

Type the Command: In the message field, type '/imagine' and select ‘/imagine

prompt’.

Describe Your Image: Enter a description of the image you want to create in the

prompt field.

Send Your Message: Once you send your message, the Bot will start processing

your text prompt and generate images.

Follow Community Guidelines: Remember to adhere to the Community

Guidelines whenever you use the Midjourney Bot.

2. Accepting the Terms Of Service

Agreement Required: Before you start generating images, the Midjourney Bot will

ask you to accept the Terms Of Service. You need to agree to these terms to continue

with the image creation process.

3. Image Generation Process

Creating Images: After you submit your text prompt, the Midjourney Bot processes

your request and creates four unique image options, usually within a minute.

GPU Usage: This process uses advanced Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). Each

image generation counts towards the GPU time included in your Midjourney

subscription.

Monitor GPU Time: To check your remaining GPU time (Fast Time Remaining), use the

/info command.

 Upscale Your Creation
Once an image grid is generated, you will see several buttons, each serving a

specific function:

1. "U" Buttons (Upscale):

Purpose: These buttons upscale the size of an image while maintaining its

quality.

How to Use: Click on a "U" button corresponding to an image to enlarge it.

2. "V" Buttons (Variations):

Purpose: Create slight variations of a selected image from the grid.

Function: When you click a "V" button, it generates a new version of the

chosen image with subtle changes.

3. Numbered Buttons (1-4):

Identification: These numbers correspond to the images in the grid.

Order: The images are numbered clockwise, starting from the top left

corner as 1, top right as 2, bottom right as 3, and bottom left as 4.

4. "(Re-roll)" Button:

Function: This button reruns the job with the same prompt.

Result: Clicking it will generate an entirely new grid of images based on

your original prompt.

 Increase image size
1. Choose Upscale Option: After using (U1, U2, U3, or U4)

for initial upscaling, you have two further options to

increase the image size: Upscale 2x or Upscale 4x.

2. Time for Upscaling:

Upscale 2x: This option doubles the size of your

image. It takes approximately twice as long as

generating the initial image grid.

Upscale 4x: This option increases the image size 4

times. The process is roughly six times longer than

generating the initial image grid.

By selecting either of these options, you can further enhance

the size and detail of your image, but remember that the time

taken for processing will increase significantly.

 Create Variations and Scale
1. Variation Buttons (V1, V2, V3, V4): Under each image grid, you'll find buttons labeled V1,

V2, V3, and V4. Click on these to create different variations of the generated image. These

can be subtle or strong changes.

2. Upscaled Images Variation: For upscaled images, use the buttons Vary (Strong) or Vary

(Subtle) that appear underneath. These allow you to create variations on the upscaled

image.

3. High and Low Variation Modes: You can control how much an image changes with 🎨 High
Variation Mode and 🎨 Low Variation Mode settings. The High Variation Mode is the default
and creates more noticeable changes, while the Low Variation Mode makes subtler

adjustments.

4. Vary (Region) Feature: This allows you to modify a selected area within a generated image

without altering the whole image. It's useful for targeted changes.

5. Effect on Remix Mode: Both High and Low Variation Modes influence the Remix Mode,

offering different degrees of variation.

6. Model Compatibility: Vary (Strong) and Vary (Subtle) are available with Model Version 5.2

and Niji 5. Older models have a single 🪄 Make Variations button.

Understanding Variation Types:

High Variation Mode with Vary (Strong): This mode changes the composition, elements,

colors, and details significantly. It's great for generating completely new concepts from a

single image.

Low Variation Mode with Vary (Subtle): This mode keeps the main composition of the

original image but tweaks its details slightly. It's perfect for refining an image or making

minor adjustments.

 “Pan” Feature in Midjourney
How Panning Works:

1. Using Pan Buttons: After upscaling an image (using U1, U2, U3, or U4),

Pan buttons ( ⬅️ ➡️ ⬆️ ⬇️) will appear. These buttons allow you to shift the
view of your image in different directions.

2. Panning Process: When you pan, the system uses only the nearest 512

pixels to the edge of the image, along with your original prompt, to

generate the new section of the image.

3. Panning Directions:

Pan ⬆️: Shifts the view upwards.

Pan ⬇️: Moves the view downwards.

Pan ⬅️: Shifts the view to the left.

Pan ➡️: Moves the view to the right.

4. Repeated Panning: After panning once, you can only continue panning in

the same direction (either horizontally or vertically). You can repeat this

process as many times as needed.

5. Size Limitation: After several pannings, the image may become too large

for Discord. In such cases, you'll receive a link to the image instead.

 Panning with Remix Mode:

1. Enhanced Flexibility: Panning also supports Remix Mode, allowing you to

change your prompt while panning. This means you can adjust your

image's content while shifting its view, offering more creative control.

Note: Panning effectively extends the borders of your image, creating new

sections based on the existing edges and your original prompt. This feature

enhances the depth and exploration of your generated landscapes or scenes.

 Zoom Out Feature

1. Purpose: The Zoom Out option extends the canvas of an upscaled image beyond its

original boundaries. The expansion is filled in based on the original image and the

prompt, without altering the original image's content.

2. Limits: Zoom Out doesn’t increase the maximum image size of 1024px x 1024px.

3. Options: After upscaling an image, you will see 🔎 Zoom Out 2X and 🔎 Zoom Out
1.5X buttons.

Example

Starting Image: "Vibrant California poppies."

Zoom Out 1.5X: Expands the image by 50%.

Zoom Out 2X: Expands the image by 100%.

Make Square

Adjust Aspect Ratio: This option converts a non-square image into a square one. It

expands the image vertically for wide (landscape) images and horizontally for tall

(portrait) images.

Indication: The emoji ↔️ ↕️ next to the ↔️ Make Square button indicates the direction
of expansion.

Availability: Appears under non-square upscaled images.

 Custom Zoom

1. Fine Control: The 🔎 Custom Zoom button allows setting a specific zoom
level for an upscaled image.

2. Custom Values: A dialog box pops up where you can enter a value for --

zoom, between 1-2.

3. Aspect Ratio Change: Use --zoom 1 in the Custom Zoom box to change

the aspect ratio with the --ar parameter without zooming out.

Change Prompt with Custom Zoom

1. Modify Prompt: Custom Zoom also enables changing the prompt before

expanding the image, offering more control over the final result.

2. Example Application: Changing the prompt to "A framed picture on the

wall" will adjust the image accordingly to match the new description.

These features provide a range of options for creatively modifying and

enhancing your images, offering flexibility in both the expansion and

presentation of your generated artwork.

 Let’s Use Parameters!
To unleash the full potential of Midjourney and tailor your image

generation process to your liking, you can utilize parameters.

Parameters are additional options that modify how your image is

generated and can impact various aspects such as aspect ratio,

chaos, quality, seed, stop, style, stylize. Multiple parameters can be

included in each prompt.

For example, you can use the following prompt: /imagine a cute

orange bird flying over a park --aspect 16:9 --chaos 50 --quality 2

This command generates an image of a cute orange bird flying over

a park with a 16:9 aspect ratio (widescreen), medium variation

(chaos), and high detail (quality).

 List of Parameters

Aspect Ratios: Use --aspect or --ar to change the aspect ratio of your

image.

Chaos: The --chaos <number 0–100> parameter adjusts the variety of

results. Higher numbers lead to more unique and unexpected images.

Fast Mode: Use --fast to quickly run a single job in Fast Mode, regardless

of your current settings.

Image Weight: Set the balance between image and text prompts with --

iw <0–2>. The default is 1.

Negative Prompting: Use --no for negative prompting. For example, --no

plants attempts to exclude plants from the image.

Quality: Adjust rendering quality with --quality <.25, .5, or 1>, or --q <.25,

.5, or 1>. Higher values use more GPU time; lower values use less.

Random Style: Add a random style code to your prompt with --style

random. Other options include --style random-16, --style random-64, or -

-style random-128.

Relax Mode: Use --relax to run a single job in Relax Mode.

Repeat: Create multiple images from one prompt with --repeat <1–40>,

or --r <1–40>.

Seed: Control the starting point for image generation with --seed

<integer>. Using the same seed with the same prompt will yield similar

images.

Stop: Use --stop <integer 10–100> to finish a job early, resulting in

blurrier, less detailed images.

Style: Switch between Midjourney model versions with --style <raw>, --

style <4a, 4b, or 4c>, or Niji model styles like --style <cute, expressive,

original, scenic>. Use /tune for custom styles.

Stylize: Adjust the intensity of Midjourney's default style with --stylize

<number> or --s <number>.

Tile: Create seamless patterns with the --tile parameter.

Turbo Mode: Override current settings and use Turbo Mode for a single

job with --turbo.

Weird: Explore unique aesthetics with --weird <number 0–3000>, or --w

<number 0–3000>.
