exist Midjourney The official introductory documentation for the simplest of the Prompt The structure is this:
But I think the above Prompt is too simple 😂, instead Advanced Prompt is better for learning:
Image Prompts (optional)
Prompt is divided into three parts. The first one is Image, which is optional and can be filled in or not.
Let's start with what this Image URL is for, there are a lot of ways to play with it, such as merging two images into one, you can see the example below, where I am uploading an image of a marble statue and flowers to Discord:
Then, after letting Midjourney blend (more on this in the next section on blending), you can create an image like the one below:
Something to keep in mind:
- You enter the URL address of the image, and it must be publicly accessible.
- Only png, gif and jpg image formats are supported.
- You can only put up to two image URLs, or one image URL + a paragraph.
If you don't want to upload the image to some image bed server, you can also use Discord's image bed, you can chat privately with Midjourney Bot and then send the image to Discord first by uploading the image, then right click to copy the image link, like this:
Text Prompt
This is the description of the image you want AI to generate. There are very many tricks to this one, more on that later. Here I'd like to mention that Midjourney is a bit different from ChatGPT:
- Inability to understand sentence structure and syntax: Midjourney doesn't understand what you're saying the way ChatGPT does. By analogy, Midjourney is more like imperative programming, and ChatGPT is more like declarative programming, where you need to give Midjourney complete instructions before it can produce results you're happy with.
- Midjourney is designed with banned words: some words can't be entered, like the 🍑 emoji can't be entered because the emoji is slang for butts, which often leads to the model generating not-so-nice images, so it's banned as well.
Parameter
Midjourney has about 20 parameter settings, and I'll cover a few common ones in the next chapter. Once you understand the basic parameters, you should be able to generate good diagrams with Midjourney.
