Keywords

💡Slash Commands

Slash commands are specific keyboard inputs used within the Midjourney platform to trigger certain actions or functionalities. They are essential for users to interact with the AI and create images. In the video, various slash commands are introduced, such as '/blend' for blending images, '/tune' for creating a custom style, and '/settings' for adjusting preferences. These commands are central to the video's tutorial on how to use Midjourney effectively.

💡Blending Images

Blending images refers to the process of combining two to five images to create a single, cohesive image. This is done using the '/blend' command in Midjourney. The video demonstrates how to upload multiple images and blend them together to generate a new image, showcasing the creative possibilities of this feature.

💡Style Tuner

A style tuner is a tool within Midjourney that allows users to create their own unique styles for image generation. It is invoked with the '/tune' command. The video explains how to use the style tuner by providing a prompt, selecting images that match the desired style, and generating a style code that can be used for future creations. This concept is integral to customizing the artistic output of the AI.

💡GPU Time

GPU time refers to the processing time used by the graphics processing unit (GPU) to render images. In the context of Midjourney, it is a resource that users consume when generating images, especially when using style tuning or creating images in raw mode. The video mentions the cost of GPU time and how it affects the user's account, highlighting the economic aspect of using the platform.

💡Sticky Style

Sticky style is a feature that allows users to continue using a particular style across multiple image generations as long as the style is specified in subsequent prompts. Activated with the '/settings' command, it simplifies the process of generating images in a consistent style. The video illustrates how to toggle this feature on and off to maintain or change the artistic style of generated images.

💡Remix Mode

Remix mode is a function that enables users to modify their prompts when creating variations or upscales of images. It is controlled by the '/remix' command. The video explains how remix mode allows for interactive editing of prompts, providing users with the flexibility to experiment with different elements and ideas within their image generation process.

💡Variability Modes

Variability modes, toggled by '/prefer variability', offer users a choice between high variation and low variation in the generated images. High variation mode produces a wider range of different images, while low variation mode generates images that are more similar to each other. The video discusses how this option can be adjusted according to the user's creative needs.

💡Generation Speeds

Generation speeds in Midjourney refer to the rate at which images are created, with options like '/fast', '/turbo', and '/relax'. The video describes how these commands affect the speed and cost of image generation, with '/fast' being the standard mode, '/turbo' accelerating the process at a higher cost, and '/relax' allowing free generation without affecting GPU time for paid accounts.

💡Aspect Ratio

Aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between the width and the height of an image. In the video, the '/prefer suffix' command is used to append aspect ratio specifications, such as 'AR 16:9', to prompts, ensuring that the generated images adhere to the desired dimensions. This feature is important for users who need images to fit specific display formats.

💡Custom Codes

Custom codes in Midjourney are user-defined presets that can be applied to prompts for generating images. They are created using the 'SL prefer option' command and can include specifications like aspect ratio, style elements, and other parameters. The video demonstrates how to create, apply, and remove custom codes to streamline the image generation process according to personal preferences.

💡Image Description

Image description is a feature that allows users to upload an image and generate prompts based on it. This is done using the '/describe' command. The video shows how users can create prompts from uploaded images and explore various keywords for future image generations. It's a useful tool for deriving inspiration and ideas from existing visual content.

💡Account Information

Account information in Midjourney includes details about the user's ID, subscription status, remaining GPU hours, and lifetime usage. It is accessed through the '/info' command. The video emphasizes the importance of checking account information to manage resources effectively and avoid running out of GPU time.
