  • How can you adjust the aspect ratio of the generated images?

    -You can adjust the aspect ratio of the generated images by adding '--AR' followed by a ratio of numbers to your prompt.

  • What does the 'chaos' value in Midjourney determine?

    -The 'chaos' value in Midjourney, denoted by '--chaos' or '--C', determines the amount of variety that appears within the grid of generated images.

  • How can you make small adjustments to one of your pictures in Midjourney?

    -You can make small adjustments to one of your pictures by typing 'forward slash remix' and hitting enter, which turns the variation button into the remix button.

  • What is the purpose of the 'stop' parameter in Midjourney?

    -The 'stop' parameter in Midjourney allows you to stop the generation process at a specified percentage, which can affect the level of detail in the image.

  • How can you create seamless textures using Midjourney?

    -You can create seamless textures by including '--tile' in your prompt, which allows Midjourney to generate images that can be repeated without visible seams.

  • What is the 'multi-prompt' feature in Midjourney?

    -The 'multi-prompt' feature in Midjourney, created by adding two colons in your prompt, allows Midjourney to read each part of the prompt separately, enabling you to put a weight on certain parts of your prompt.

  • How can you save time by creating a prompt shortcut in Midjourney?

    -You can save time by using the 'forward slash prefer' command and choosing 'option set' to create a prompt shortcut. This allows you to define a shortcut name and value, which will automatically be added to your prompts when you use the shortcut.
