How to Use Midjourney to Create AI-Generated Images: A Step-by-Step Guide

Midjourney is a powerful AI image generator exclusively available through Discord. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to use Midjourney to create stunning AI-generated images based on textual prompts.

Preparation

  1. Sign up for Discord: Head to Discord's website and register a new account if you don't already have one.

  2. Sign up for Midjourney: Go to the Midjourney website and click Join the Beta. Accept the invitation to join the Midjourney Discord channel.

  3. Subscribe to a Midjourney plan: Type /subscribe in any newcomer room (e.g., #newbies-14) and choose a plan that suits your needs. Note that free trials are currently suspended.

Generate Images

  1. Create your first image: Use the /imagine command in a Discord channel or direct message to the Midjourney Bot. Provide a text prompt describing the desired image, and Midjourney will generate a set of four variations.For example, you can write:

    /imagine prompt Big bright eyes: A close-up shot of a cute animal with big, bright eyes, capturing their innocence and playfulness.

  2. Edit and refine images: Use the U1-4 and V1-4 buttons displayed below your images to upscale or create new variations, respectively. If you're not satisfied with the initial results, use the Re-roll button to generate four new images.

Go Deeper with Prompts

  1. Enhance your prompts: Improve the quality of your generated images by providing more specific, clear, and well-thought-out prompts.

  2. Consider the image details: Think about the subject, medium, environment, lighting, color, mood, and composition of your desired image when providing prompts.

  3. Upload images: Include image URLs in your prompts to base your AI-generated image on a specific image.

  4. Use the /blend command: Merge multiple images into a new image using the /blend command.

  5. Experiment with parameters: Utilize parameters to fine-tune the aspects of your generated image, such as aspect ratio, randomness, and style.

  6. Explore Midjourney's Documentation: Dig deeper into Midjourney's capabilities by exploring its help docs, including guides on prompting, image prompts, the remix feature, and multi-prompts.

  7. Have fun and get inspired: Enjoy the process of creating and experimenting with AI-generated images, and find inspiration from other users' creations by browsing the Discord server.

Remember, practicing and experimenting with different prompts will help you generate stunning AI-generated images that cater to your artistic and creative needs.
