How to Get a Job ID in Midjourney
TLDRIn this tutorial, Christian Heidorn from Tokenized AI explains how to obtain a job ID for an image in Midjourney and how to use it to remaster an old image with new experimental algorithms. He discusses two methods to retrieve the job ID: one through Discord by interacting with the Midjourney bot and another through the Midjourney web app, which he finds buggy and confusing for categorizing images. Heidorn demonstrates how to copy the job ID from the web app and use it to retrieve an old job on Discord, emphasizing that only the owner of the job can access the seed and continue working on it. He also clarifies that while job IDs can be copied from the Community Feed, non-owners cannot load jobs into their chat history, ensuring no unauthorized use of others' work.
Takeaways
- 📷 **Job ID Retrieval**: You can obtain the job ID of an image in Midjourney to continue working on it later.
- 🔍 **Discord Method**: Right-click an image and select the standard envelope to request details, including the job ID, via Direct Message (DM).
- 📚 **Ownership Rights**: The seed is only shown in the DM if you are the owner of the job, ensuring no unauthorized access.
- 🌐 **Web App Alternative**: Use the Midjourney web app to find and copy the job ID from your created images, especially useful for managing numerous images.
- 🐞 **Web App Limitations**: The web app may have bugs and inconsistencies in categorizing images across different accounts.
- 📁 **Job ID Copying**: On the web app, find the three-dot icon next to an image, click it, and select 'Copy job ID' to get the ID.
- 🔗 **Discord Integration**: Paste the job ID in Discord to retrieve the old job and perform actions like upscaling or remasting.
- 🔄 **Remastering Process**: Remastering an image combines experimental algorithms to create variations, without regenerating the image with a specific version.
- 🚫 **Access Restrictions**: You cannot load or continue working on jobs that you do not own, safeguarding against unauthorized use.
- 🔑 **Seed Protection**: The seed is not provided if you're not the job owner, preventing full replication of someone else's work.
- 🤝 **Community and Sharing**: While there's a community aspect to Midjourney, there are limitations to ensure respect for creators' work and ownership.
Q & A
What is the purpose of obtaining a job ID in Midjourney?
-The job ID is used to retrieve and continue working on an old image that was previously created, allowing users to remaster the image using newer versions of Midjourney's algorithms.
How can you obtain a job ID through Discord?
-You can obtain a job ID through Discord by right-clicking on the 'add reaction' button of an image, selecting the standard envelope, which prompts the Midjourney bot to send you the job details, including the job ID, in a direct message.
What is the other method to obtain a job ID as mentioned in the transcript?
-The other method to obtain a job ID is by using the Midjourney web app. You can find the job ID by locating the three-dot icon next to an image in your profile, clicking on it, and selecting 'copy job ID'.
Why might the Midjourney web app be considered buggy according to the speaker?
-The speaker finds the Midjourney web app buggy because it sometimes categorizes or attaches images incorrectly to different accounts, even when the same Midjourney and Discord account is used.
What happens when you try to retrieve a job ID that is not owned by you on Discord?
-If you try to retrieve a job ID that you do not own, the Midjourney bot on Discord will inform you that you are not the owner of the job and will not allow you to load it into your chat history.
What is the difference between remastered images using version 4 of the Midjourney algorithm and the original image?
-Remastered images using version 4 of the Midjourney algorithm are not regenerated with version 4 alone. Instead, they are recombined using a mix of experimental algorithms like 'Test' and 'Creative', yielding two variations that are often quite different from the original image.
Why does the Midjourney bot not provide the seed when you ask for job details?
-The Midjourney bot does not provide the seed to prevent users from being able to completely replicate what someone else has done. This ensures that there is no unauthorized copying or 'stealing' of other users' work.
How does the speaker suggest using the job ID to upscale an old image?
-The speaker suggests using the job ID to retrieve an old image and then perform various actions such as upscaling to the max, light up skill redo, beta upscale redo, or simply remastering the image with newer algorithms.

What is the role of the job ID in the context of the Midjourney tutorial?
-The job ID is crucial as it uniquely identifies an image job in Midjourney, allowing users to access, remaster, and continue working on their old images using the platform's updated algorithms.
Why is it important to be the owner of the job to see the seed?
-The seed is important because it can be used to recreate the exact image. Only the owner of the job should have access to the seed to maintain the originality and ownership of the work.
What does the speaker imply about the community aspect of Midjourney?
-The speaker implies that while Midjourney has a strong community aspect that encourages sharing, there are also limitations to protect the integrity and originality of individual users' work.
How does the speaker recommend subscribing to future content?
-The speaker recommends subscribing by hitting the 'subscribe' button, which is located right under the screen, to get notified when new videos are released.
What does the speaker suggest for users who find the video useful?
-The speaker suggests that if users find the video useful and enjoy it, they should hit the 'like' button and subscribe to show their appreciation and support.

🖼️ Understanding Job IDs in Mid-Journey Tutorial
Christian Heidorn from Tokenized AI introduces viewers to the concept of job IDs in the Mid-Journey AI software. He explains the importance of job IDs for remastering old images using new algorithms. The video outlines two methods to obtain a job ID: through Discord by using the 'add reaction' feature to request details from the Mid-Journey bot, and via the Mid-Journey web app where job IDs can be copied from a context menu. Heidorn also clarifies that only the owner of the job can view the seed and continue working on the image, ensuring no unauthorized use of others' creations. The tutorial concludes with a demonstration of how to remaster an image using the job ID and the latest Mid-Journey algorithm.
🚫 Limitations on Using Job IDs from Others' Images
The second paragraph emphasizes the limitations when it comes to using job IDs from images that one does not own. Heidorn explains that while the community aspect of Mid-Journey allows for sharing, there are restrictions to prevent unauthorized use of another user's work. Attempting to retrieve or remaster an image using a job ID that does not belong to the user is not permitted by the Mid-Journey bot. This ensures that users cannot steal or replicate others' work, respecting the original creator's ownership and effort. The video ends with a call to action for viewers to like, subscribe, and look out for future content from the creator.
