💡 Quick Tutorial
Learn Every Aspect of Midjourney
If you’ve created 100+ images using Midjourney, you can now generate images directly on their website (say goodbye to Discord!).
This update offers tons of benefits… and motivated us to create this Midjourney Masterclass video — which is PACKED full of explanations, examples, and tips for every aspect of Midjourney, including:
Navigating the new site | ‘Explore’, ‘Create’, & ‘Archive’ tabs |
Prompting | Basic control methods, emojis, reference images, multi-prompting, combining words with power tokens, & more |
Using speed settings & parameters | Stylization, weirdness, chaos, mode, ‘no’, tile, stop, & video |
Adjusting & combining references | Image, style, character, color, & object |
Maintaining consistency | Characters + using SRFs to maintain style across prompts |
Dealing with text inconsistencies | Rerolling & style matching |
Refining images | Varying, upscaling, reframing, & inpainting |
We also explore different art styles & keywords, creating vector art & logos, tailoring outputs via the personalization feature, AND additional AI tools for remixing.
P.S. Login to check if you have access to the new Midjourney site. If you don’t, check your eligibility by typing “/info” into your Midjourney Discord channel to see how many images you’ve generated.
