Awesome video demonstration!! Thank you for sharing these High Level information guide! I will watch the video again to note some parts. Just to add my opinion on the Upscaling buttons 4:34 : For the Final Image To look like almost the same to your original image you are not going to chose The "beta upscale", No. You will choose the Normal Upscale or the Light Upscale. I have tested it with objects and Beta adds more details that are not there on the original image, and this changes the final image.

[@FutureTechPilot]

Yeah the upscales are a little tricky to understand! Thanks for sharing your observation

Great video! Would you consider doing one that shows the difference between "Stylize" and "Chaos"?

[@FutureTechPilot]

Thanks for the question! Currently, stylize doesn't work on Version 4, but if they bring it back, I'd love to show off the differences, thanks for the idea. However, if one day I can't think of a video idea, I'll make a 'Stylize vs Chaos' and use version 3 if I have to! Thanks again :)

[@SafeWebStrategies]

I Hopeyou read this and Thanksforthe Tips i was stuck and now im less stuck lol. ARG stands for "Argument" in Midjourney. The ARG commands allow you to create custom shortcuts or hotkeys for frequently used prompt elements. They are considered as a artist bag of tricks to get a result without having to type all that out

[@FutureTechPilot]

Yes thank you!

[@bySterling]

Fantastic tips! Curious in the prompts what’s the difference between - (dash dash) and , (commas)?

[@AG_before]

Well if you want to change the aspect ratio for example, the argument that has to be added is --ar 3:2 (for 3 by 2 obviously). You can't precede the coding argument without the (dash dash). Hope that helps. Hope I'm right! 😅

[@FutureTechPilot]

-- is called a parameter (so you can change things like the aspect ratio --ar 3:2 or the version --v 3) While a comma is just used to split the prompt into something that is more human readable also, :: splits the prompt but it is different than commas. with :: you can assign weights to different parts like - city skyline ::10 watercolor ::1 - would give you a city skyline with just a hint of watercolor

[@FutureTechPilot]

Another good one. Thank you! I have come across an issue though: after using 'X' to remove it from Discord, I still find the finished piece in my MJ gallery (on their site). The search tool...actually works? :) Thanks for all this work man. 👍

[@FutureTechPilot]

I think there is a slight delay between generating on discord and the site getting updated .. so if you delete something, wait like 10-15 minutes and I'm like 99% sure that it will be deleted from the site as well ... as for the search tool? I find it incredibly inconsistent lol and I wouldn't count on it to find anything

[@RIPTIDE2034]

You can DM the Mid Journey bot And you can prompt in DMs so you don’t have to scroll for pictures

[@FutureTechPilot]

It's such a different experience prompting in private haha tune in tomorrow for another tips & tricks video

[@RIPTIDE2034]

What makes it different? Are the picture at a lower quality?

[@FutureTechPilot]

@@RIPTIDE2034 hahah no I just meant, it's like peace and quiet. Just being able to see all of your pictures without interruptions from other people

[@HaloLor]

From looking at all the examples you bring in the video it seems that icbhbti mainly adds perspective to the image, this might happen because it reads this sentence as an observation of a viewer there for adding an epic view angle to the visual.

[@FutureTechPilot]

I like that way of describing it!

[@LeggoMyTailyPo]

What program are you using. A lot of the apps i use don't have gui for this stuff. But it does work if you use common recognized key words. Where i am having trouble is the syntax. This stuff is like writing code. I don't need help getting generic images. I am trying to get specific details. So i am trying to really understand how the program understands what i type. I am pretty good at mixing styles. Most programs will blend the art styles if you list both. I am working with understanding the lora of the styles and how all that works

[@FutureTechPilot]

This is all in Midjourney!

[@hunternow0112]

Bro how midjourney follow ur prompt as we like how to do like that please answer it , btw nice channel

[@FutureTechPilot]

I'm not sure I understand your question. What do you mean?

[@Fresh.Curiosity]

A question: I've heard that in relaxed mode, each time we use the service, we're placed one position back in a queue. In other words, each time we use it, it becomes slower, and this queue resets at the end of the month. What's the longest wait time you've experienced for generating an image in relaxed mode? I'll need to generate 2 thousand images in a month; is the standard plan sufficient? Because in the standard mode, 15 hours give around 900 generations, so I would need to generate 1,100 in relaxed mode, is that feasible?

[@FutureTechPilot]

I mean ... it might be 'feasible' but it won't be fun to do. Like, you'll have to wait a long time between generations. Maybe around 10 minutes or more. But I also haven't dipped into Relax mode in a long time, so maybe the wait-times have gotten shorter.

[@RunningArtGFX]

How could I do something like a 1 color vector type of image. A Honda parked sideways vector

[@FutureTechPilot]

hmm... I'd say using something like 'side-view' and '(color) monochrome' might work! Sorry I'm not more help

[@drleandrobuck]

do anyone know if is possible to write words inside the images ? like txt ?

[@FutureTechPilot]

Noo haha it is technically possible but it's like winning the lottery. You're much better off adding the text in after

[@kushyisrael1652]

If I seen a picture that I really like, can I copy that pictures code in Midjourney to get an idea of what prompts they used to create it?????

[@FutureTechPilot]

I'm note exactly sure what you mean but you can try the /describe feature

[@jackchanwichit]

If i want more copy space on left or right images how can i do?

[@FutureTechPilot]

hmm.. I think you'll need to use a program like photoshop for that

[@Jasonmcneilphotography]

How or where do you find all these great tips?

[@FutureTechPilot]

Haha I just keep track of any information I find useful! The Midjourney community is great at sharing their tips and I just wanted to contribute

[@Jasonmcneilphotography]

@@FutureTechPilot Well thank you for sharing. Keep up the good work.

[@markymaarty]

How do you type dash dash in iphone without extending the dash into one long dash?

[@FutureTechPilot]

hmm, you might have to go into like, 'Keyboard shortcuts' or something like that. And -- is probably set up to complete to the long dash.

[@beam3819]

How much does all the equipment cost? When will it be user friendly? Or are this chatgpt only for coders? Or rich ?

[@FutureTechPilot]

They have a few different price plans and I think the interface is pretty user friendly considering the capabilities! But I'm pretty sure they're still trying to improve it

What is he prompt from the picture in this video thubnail?

[@FutureTechPilot]

@@FutureTechPilot thanks

[@RIPTIDE2034]

How do you actually apply the short cut you just type it in?

[@FutureTechPilot]

Yeah you type it in with the dashdash ... like --shortcut

[@victory7213]

How do I get it to depict faces of historical figures accurately? (Like cause my reply has no notification)

[@FutureTechPilot]

hmm.. you could try an image prompt (kzbin.info/www/bejne/ane0mJ6vgqyXjLs this video kinda goes through it) and Midjourney might get the face closer. But as far as I know, Midjourney actually tries to avoid creating exact replicas of anything, so getting a specific face right now might be difficult

[@victory7213]

@FutureTechPilot thanks. Yeah I I guess depicting likeness but in a different position is maybe too much. I will try the link. Appreciate the response 👍 👌

[@Upinthecutty...]

can you help me understand why the buttons (ex: V1, U2) dont turn blue anymore when i select them? Its frustrating because I can no longer see all the steps Ive attempted. It started when i upgraded to private

[@FutureTechPilot]

I agree it's frustrating! But I'm pretty sure there was just a bug in the system and they turned off notifications to try and fix it. I don't have any behind the scenes info but I imagine it will be fixed in a day or two!

[@Upinthecutty...]

@@FutureTechPilot its actually fixed now. Now Im having trouble with wait time. sooo sloooooow

[@FutureTechPilot]

@@Upinthecutty... haha yeah I hear you about those wait times ... David from MJ just talked about it in the office hours, apparently it may have something to do with their cloud providers being extra busy at Christmas time? The slow down should only last another day or two! Hang tight

[@Upinthecutty...]

@@FutureTechPilot the whole "gpu shortage" as an excuse doesnt make any sense. Thats like amazon saying they cant deliver my package because of a delivery van shortage. what?

[@truthseeker318]

Tip 1, what is the weight range?

[@FutureTechPilot]

Any and everything! The weights are in relation to each other. So dog::10 cat::5 is the same thing as dog::2 cat::1

[@truthseeker318]

Thanks!

I am curious what prompt parameter will give you a HDRI probe image. I was able to do it with NightCafe using the following words in the prompt: 360 equirectangular hdri panorama

[@FutureTechPilot]

I ran out of fast hours for Midjourney haha but please let me know if you find an answer to your question!

[@mokiloke]

The difference between Variations with no remix setting off, and with remix on with no prompt change is annoying. It should just create the same as a non remix ? Is there another way to achieve this otherwise we need to keep turning remix on and off.

[@FutureTechPilot]

I completely agree haha it is annoying, and yes I have to keep turning remix on and off. Like you said, I wish you could get normal variations within the remix feature!

[@mokiloke]

😅@@FutureTechPilot Oh good, i thought it was just me having this problem. People on discussion said it was all in my head

[@Pythagoras-Jr]

i dont understand why i cant activate the private mode button, i have the $30 plan

[@FutureTechPilot]

:( I'm the bearer of bad news. The private option is another 20$ on top of that ... it's actually cheaper for you to get a full year of the pro plan than it is just add private ... I'm sorry, I don't know why private costs so much. I think it's because they want the community to grow and learn from each other, but I don't know if that's true, I'm just speculating. That being said, having privacy is important to me so I had to make the choice to upgrade, but I I feel bad that it isn't going to be an easy choice for most people

[@Pythagoras-Jr]

@@FutureTechPilot yes i agree with you, $20 more is much for only Privat mode

"try lisa frank" fishing hard.. godang

[@FutureTechPilot]

If you want some pretty colors! Nothing wrong with mentioning her name ... if you tried to sell those pictures though, that's where I think it crosses the line

[@JPeoplzOIII]

Can you elaborate ? The numbers are in relation to each other? "The 10 and 5 are the same as 2 and 1".....not enough context to understand this.

[@FutureTechPilot]

I'm sorry it wasn't clear! So using 10 as the weight for the first part of the prompt, and 5 for the second, is the same as using 2 for the first and 1 for the second. 10 is 2x as big as 5 --- and 2 is 2x as big as 1 ... so you could also use 30 and 15. The weights are determined by the relation between the numbers you use, and using bigger numbers doesn't make a difference.

[@JPeoplzOIII]

@@FutureTechPilot Ohh? So what if there are more than 2 weighted details in the prompt? Is "Art by Picasso ::10 Art by Bob Ross ::30 Art by Van Goh ::60" the same as "Art by Picasso ::1 Art by Bob Ross ::3 Art by Van Goh ::6"? With Van Goh getting most of the influence and Picasso having the least impact on the result?

[@FutureTechPilot]

@@JPeoplzOIII I believe you have it exactly correct. 10, 30, and 60 is exactly the same as 1, 3 and 6!

“a painting by….” you recommend stealing an artists” style? Serious?

[@FutureTechPilot]

No, I actually advocate against referencing an artist and trying to make money off of them. However, I think you can use their names for entertainment purposes ... and you can't copyright a style. If you want certain colors, you can type 'rainbow unicorn colors' or you can use an artists name if that will get you the same result.
