-The '--creative' code, when used with the 'test' or 'test P' algorithms, makes the image generation more creative and unique.
What is the difference between the 'test' and 'test P' algorithms in Midjourney?
-The 'test' algorithm produces artistic images, while the 'test P' algorithm generates more lifelike and photographic images.
How can you stylize images in Midjourney?
-You can use the '--stylize' or '--s' code to set the stylization level from 0 to 60,000, with the default being 625.
What does the '--no' code do in a Midjourney prompt?
-The '--no' code is used to exclude specific elements from the generated image by listing the elements you want to remove.
How can you create a video of your image creation in Midjourney?
-You can use the '--video' code to create a video of the image creation process, but this doesn't work on upscales.
What effect does the '--quality' code have in Midjourney prompts?
-The '--quality' code, ranging from 1 to 5, adjusts the rendering quality and time, with higher values providing more detailed results.
What is the purpose of using '--V' in Midjourney prompts?
-The '--V' code specifies the version of the Midjourney algorithm to use, with different versions producing varying results.
How can you use 'remix mode' in Midjourney?
-By enabling 'remix mode' in the settings and then clicking 'make variations' on an image, you can modify the prompt and remix the image while retaining some of the original elements.
What is the function of the '--seed' code in Midjourney?
-The '--seed' code allows you to use a specific seed number to generate similar images by maintaining certain elements from the initial image.
How does the '--chaos' code influence image generation in Midjourney?
-The '--chaos' code controls the unpredictability of the image generation, with higher values resulting in more chaotic and varied interpretations of the prompt.
What is the benefit of using custom codes in Midjourney?
-Custom codes, created with the 'prefer option set' command, save time by allowing you to apply multiple settings with a single custom code in your prompts.
How can you ensure you don't lose your Midjourney images?
-You can back up your images by downloading them from your Midjourney account's home or archive sections.
Why is it beneficial to learn Adobe Photoshop in conjunction with Midjourney?
-Learning Adobe Photoshop allows you to further edit and refine your AI-generated images, giving you greater control over the final result.

🎨 Tips for Mid-Journey AI Art: Aspect Ratio and Creativity
In this segment, learn how to enhance your Mid-Journey AI art with tips on using prompt codes. Start by adjusting aspect ratios with the --AR code, specifying width and height to achieve desired dimensions. Experiment with the --creative tag for more imaginative results when using test or test P algorithms, comparing standard and creative outputs for a 'superhero turtle' prompt.
🖼️ Exploring Test and Test P Algorithms
Discover the differences between the test and test P algorithms. The test algorithm yields artistic images, while test P provides more lifelike results. This section also introduces the --stylize code, allowing you to control the degree of stylization from 0 to 60,000, with default set at 625. Examples show varying stylization levels for visual impact.
🌳 Using Negative Keywords for Specific Image Adjustments
Learn to refine your AI-generated images by excluding elements with the --no tag. By specifying elements like 'trees' or 'water' to be omitted, you can tailor the output to better match your vision. This technique helps minimize unwanted features in your AI art.
🎥 Creating Videos of Your AI Art with --video
This section covers how to create a video of your AI art's creation process using the --video tag. Note the additional steps needed to retrieve the video after the prompt generates the image, such as adding a reaction and downloading the MP4 file.
🔍 Enhancing Image Quality with --quality
Discover how to enhance image quality with the --q code, ranging from 1 (default) to 5 (highest quality). Higher quality settings result in more detailed and intricate images, illustrated through a 'robot face' example. Also, explore the effect of using different Mid-Journey algorithm versions with the --V code.
🔄 Remixing and Seeding for Consistent Results
Explore the remix mode and the --seed tag for creating variations and consistent results. Remix mode allows altering prompts while keeping the original image structure. The --seed tag uses a specific number to produce similar images based on an existing design, facilitating control over the creative output.
🌀 Adding Chaos to Your Prompts with --chaos
Learn to inject unpredictability into your AI art with the --chaos tag, ranging from 0 to 100. Higher chaos levels result in more abstract and unexpected outputs. Compare images created with different chaos settings to understand its impact.
💾 Customizing and Saving Your Prompt Settings
This section explains how to set custom codes and suffixes for your prompts, streamlining the process of adding repetitive settings. Learn to create, use, and remove custom options, enhancing efficiency in generating consistent images.
🏋️♂️ Using Word Weight to Prioritize Elements in Your Prompts
Master the use of word weight to prioritize elements in your prompts. By assigning different weights to keywords, control the prominence of each element in the generated image. An example with 'dog,' 'cat,' and 'mouse' demonstrates the technique's effectiveness.
💻 Backing Up Your AI Art and Expanding Your Skills
Ensure you don't lose your AI creations by backing them up from your Mid-Journey account. Additionally, enhance your capabilities by learning tools like Adobe Photoshop, which allows for further customization and integration of AI-generated images.
