📷 Custom Prompt Parameters in Mid-Journey
In this paragraph, Jen introduces the concept of custom prompt parameters in the mid-journey platform. She explains that these parameters, which are dash-dash commands placed at the end of a prompt, provide specific instructions to mid-journey on how the image should look. Jen highlights the benefits of using custom prompts to avoid repetitive typing and to keep one's 'image recipes' secret. She demonstrates how to set a preferred suffix using the 'slash prefer suffix' command, which automatically adds a specific command to every prompt created. This can include aspects like video options or aspect ratios. The paragraph also touches on the ability to create multiple sets of preferred options using 'slash prefer option set', allowing for different image styles and keeping some parameters secret from others.
🔍 Managing and Using Custom Prompt Options
This paragraph delves deeper into managing custom prompt options in mid-journey. Jen explains how to list all preferred options using 'slash prefer option list', which provides a comprehensive view of the commands associated with each set. She also discusses the flexibility of editing option sets by reusing the same name and entering different values. The paragraph provides an example of creating a set called 'photo' with parameters aimed at generating realistic images. Additionally, Jen mentions the limitation of using certain parameters together and the process of updating them. The paragraph concludes with a mention of the ethos of mid-journey, which is sharing, but also acknowledges the desire to keep some creative processes private. Jen invites viewers to share their favorite custom parameters in the comments and encourages engagement with the channel.
