Midjourney Tutorial (deutsch): Anleitung für Anfänger mit Beispielen

MidJourney is a standout tool in the realm of artificial intelligence, capable of creating incredibly realistic and high-quality images. Although a bit cumbersome to use initially, it becomes straightforward with practice. This video tutorial will guide you on how to generate your own images with MidJourney, a text-to-image tool where you describe the desired image in words, known as a prompt. The tutorial also introduces a MidJourney Masterclass for more examples and use cases.

MidJourney is accessed through Discord rather than its website. Discord, a messaging service originally for gamers, now hosts the MidJourney community. To use MidJourney, you need to join its Discord server. The video explains how to join the server, create an account, and interact with the MidJourney bot to generate images. It also discusses how to navigate the Discord interface and adjust settings, such as switching between dark and light modes.

The MidJourney Discord server features various channels for announcements, support, and new users. By joining these channels, users can see how others interact with the MidJourney bot and create images. The tutorial suggests creating a personal server to communicate with the bot more privately and organized. This section also covers the different subscription plans for MidJourney, as it no longer offers a free trial.

MidJourney offers several subscription plans: Basic, Standard, Pro, and Mega, each with different features and pricing. The Basic plan costs $10/month and allows up to 200 images per month. The Standard plan, at $30/month, offers unlimited image creation with fast mode hours. The Pro plan provides more fast mode hours and a private mode option. The tutorial emphasizes starting with the Basic plan for testing.

To create an image, use the 'imagine' command followed by a prompt. MidJourney generates four variations of the described image. Users can upscale or create further variations of these images. The tutorial demonstrates how to use these features and the differences between upscaled images and variants. It also highlights the importance of prompts in generating desired results.

MidJourney allows users to specify styles, colors, and other elements in prompts to create varied images. Examples include generating images with specific styles like illustrations or watercolor, or using color schemes like green or pastel. The tutorial shows how adding just one word can drastically change the image and encourages experimenting with different prompts.

This section demonstrates how changing the perspective in prompts can produce different results. Examples include close-ups and aerial views of the Brooklyn Bridge. The tutorial emphasizes experimenting with specific descriptions to achieve desired outcomes, combining various elements like styles, colors, and perspectives for more creative images.

Writing effective prompts involves being concise and specific. The tutorial advises using short, precise descriptions and avoiding long sentences. It also recommends using English for better results, as MidJourney is primarily trained on English data. The tutorial provides examples of good prompts and highlights the importance of descriptive adjectives for better image generation.

MidJourney offers various parameters to further customize images. The tutorial explains the aspect ratio parameter for changing image dimensions, the chaos parameter for varying the randomness in images, and the 'no' parameter for excluding specific elements. Examples are provided to illustrate how these parameters affect the generated images.

The 'describe' command allows users to upload an image and receive four possible prompts that describe it. This feature is useful for understanding how MidJourney interprets images and finding keywords for specific styles or atmospheres. The tutorial explains how to use this command to gain insights and inspiration for creating new images.
