 Parameters are additional instructions you provide to the MidJourney Bot to generate AI Art. These parameters are usually added after the
AI Art image description. To use them, simply use two dashes (--) followed by the corresponding word or letter and, in some cases, a
value.

--beta:
Uses an experimental algorithm and generates only two images.

--hd:
Utilizes an older algorithm to generate higher resolutions of AI Art.

--aspect or --ar:
Allows you to generate images in a specific aspect ratio. For example, 4:5, 2:3, 4:7, 5:4, 3:2, 7:4.
Parameters

--seed:
Sets the seed number, creating visual noise as a starting point for generating initial image grids.
Seed numbers are randomly generated for each image but can be specified with the --seed or --sameseed parameter.

--sameseed:
Using the same seed number and prompt will produce similar ending images, as seeds will affect all images in the same way.

--no:
Removes elements from images. For example, --no tree will exclude trees from the generated images.

--chaos (number):
Allows you to control the variation in results, with the value ranging from 0 to 100.

--stylize:
Adjusts the level of stylization in the generated images. Low values create images closely matching the prompt but less artistic, while high
values create more artistic but less connected images. Value range: 0 to 1000.

--quality: Changes the time spent generating an image and affects the level of detail. Higher-quality settings take longer to process but
produce more detailed results. Available values: 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2 (all versions except 4).

--Stop:
Stops the image generation process.

--uplight:
Enables the light upscaler feature.

 Model Version Parameters:

--version <1, 2, 3, 4 or 5>:

Opt for a previous iteration of the Midjourney algorithm. The contemporary algorithm (V5) is the default choice.

--v <1, 2, 3, 4 or 5>:

Choose an earlier version of the Midjourney algorithm. The fifth version (V5) is set by default.

Model Type Parameters:

--niji:
Use a model designed specifically for anime-styled images.

--hd:
Parameters

Engage an older model variant producing larger, albeit less consistent images. Suitable for abstract and scenic visuals.

--test:
Activate Midjourney's specialized test model.

--testp:
Apply Midjourney's specialized model tailored for photography.

Upscaler Parameters:

--uplight:
Choose a "light" upscaler when pressing the 'U' buttons. Output stays closer to the original grid image, yielding a smoother, less detailed
result.

--upbeta:
Employ a beta upscaler upon pressing 'U'. The outcome closely mirrors the original grid image with noticeably fewer augmentations.

--upanime:
Utilize an upscaler optimized for the --niji Midjourney Model.

Additional Parameters:

--iw: Determines the weight of the image prompt compared to text. If unspecified, defaults to --iw 0.25.

--creative:
Adjusts the test and testp models for enhanced variety and inventiveness.

 Here are some different aspect ratios that you can use in Midjourney to specify the proportional relationship
between the width and height of the generated image:

1:1 (Square)
4:3 (Standard)
3:2
16:9 (Widescreen)
aspect ratio

5:4
9:16 (Portrait)
2.39:1 (Cinemascope)
1:1 4:3
21:9 (Ultra-Wide)
3:1 (Panoramic)
7:5
8:10
11:14
4:5
6:7

9:16
2:3

16:9
These aspect ratios provide various options for the shape and orientation of the generated image. You can
choose the aspect ratio that best suits your intended composition and visual style.
