They have recently changed where --iw needs to be placed in your prompt for this to work. Your link goes FIRST and --iw .5 goes at the END of the prompt

[@kinchy50]

Helpful hints and tips to gain more control to the unknown. Thank you

[@happytoolbox]

Happy to help!

[@protokulture]

The seed value is key for refinement, -q (quality) is helpful too.

[@happytoolbox]

I actually haven't messed with --q yet, gonna explore that more!

[@JayCicconeArchaeology]

One of the most well explained tutorials I’ve seen on this. Thank you!

[@happytoolbox]

Thank you!! That is very motivating to hear. Appreciate the comment!

[@somewhatunbiasedtalks]

Thank Jesus for a tutorial that isn’t an hour long

[@happytoolbox]

haha definitely always one of my goals

[@ArgoBeats]

very useful thanks!

[@happytoolbox]

Glad to hear it!

[@virtualDeziner]

very informative video thanks for sharing. I have just started exploring MJ and this video is really helpful, I am still wondering how people are creating such a realistic artwork which are getting viral these days everywhere on social media, must be after thousands of tries. 😀

[@hardworx28]

Very useful!

[@happytoolbox]

good!

[@alanokamura6250]

Whoa! You gave one of the best explanations I’ve seen so far. Thank you for sharing this. Really helps. Hey, are you able to keep your feed stationary? My feed is constantly scrolling up and I have hunt for my image results when they come in. Thanks.

[@happytoolbox]

Thanks that means a ton! The only way I have kept a feed stationary is direct messaging the mid journey bot but I pay for a subscription which is the only way to get that feature. Another idea is to hit the three little dots and "copy message link" and save it off into a person google doc or something if it's specific prompts you don't want to lose in the chaos.

[@ArtOfIntenso]

You can easily create your own server on Discord and work there. No other images besides your own. All images appear in your profile.

[@Mavd-mk9iq]

thank you!

[@happytoolbox]

No problem!

[@fabfabfab1556]

Best video for beginners using Midjourney I’ve seen so far. Love how easy you make it for us to understand. Other KZbinrs often don’t really keep it easy so thanks and pls more of that!

[@happytoolbox]

Really appreciate the comment! Thank you!

[@pawnoir]

Infos utiles, merci !

[@happytoolbox]

De rien !

[@drifterdax]

Very helpful. However, just so I’m clear, when you say, “Post a photo URL to the Mid journey Bot” do you mean for me to paste the URL of the photo I want it to reference into the Prompt along with my description?

[@PolarBearon]

Yes. Past it following your text prompt after a comma. For example: "/imagine woman reading a book, URL GOES HERE --iw 0.5

[@PawFromTheBroons]

Any reason why you wouldn't do V3, to have variations of the third image? I'm yet to use MJ, so it might be a dumb thing to ask.

[@happytoolbox]

Not a dumb thing to ask, if I wasn't doing a tutorial that I was trying to clearly explain some stuff in and this was my own personal project I would probably have done a ton more versions to get al to more options. Versioning is just a way to get new options and is purely based on what image your happy with or not!

[@skyn_io]

I don't have midjourny bot, just mid journey... HOW TO I GET THE SEED?? Alternative ways?

[@aidarzharassov3625]

We could test it with v4 of midjourney, I am sure result will be astounding on its way

[@happytoolbox]

Good call! Need to do an update with v4

[@FFFStudioSH]

How do you do to see only your prompts on it? I use it in a thread with a lot of people and my promts get lost very quickly, would be great to not see al the others messages all the time and save time scrolling

[@FFFStudioSH]

OKEY, I figured out, just right click on MIDJOUERNEY BOT, and select message

[@happytoolbox]

I believe unless you pay for a subscription you can't really see your own comments. If you pay for a subscription you can directly message the mid journey bot and then it is just your own solo feed. If you aren't pay for a plan a good trick is to click the "..." on a message and then click "copy message link" and then paste that into your own google doc or something so you can always link back to your favorite prompts in a thread.

[@FFFStudioSH]

@@happytoolbox Yep, I have the 30 dollars suscription, in my opinion, it is completely worth it. But I definetily need more time to explore all its potential

[@mibaatwork]

Cool Video. But try to use ::2 , not the , direct after. Not like ::2,

[@happytoolbox]

interesting! ::2, definitely still influences it visibly on my end but will definitely try out your suggestion!

[@PeacefullJourney]

Sir why i get message "this interaction is failed" what should i do?

[@happytoolbox]

one of two things happened, you either have a letter or character that is out of place or sometimes the actual AI bot goes down. It's always good to check the "status" channel in discord to make sure it's not just a Maintenance issue.

[@shotoprince2525]

midjourney dm not free right?

[@happytoolbox]

nope I pay for a subscription. It's available with the base one though.

[@shotoprince2525]

@@happytoolbox i used it before then it was just with money after

[@burstreviews8336]

Sometimes I feel this AI is F'n with me.

[@happytoolbox]

Haha 😂 saaaame

[@SINYC02]

I'm struggling with getting 2 separate subjects in an image. For example, Teddy Roosevelt and Big Foot in the woods. I keep getting a Teddy Roosevelt that looks like bigfoot. How do I seperate?

[@happytoolbox]

Hey! I got somewhere decent with the following prompt. Teddy Roosevelt :: Big Foot :: standing next to each other in forest setting. --ar 16:9

[@happytoolbox]

Not sure what you're going after visually but using multiprompts separated by :: makes mid journey take your single prompts more seriously than commas. You could also use the new "remaster" function when you get something you are liking. Remaster does make it look more photo real though. Hope that helps!

[@SINYC02]

@@happytoolbox I should have been clearer! Teddy Roosevelt claims to have fought sasquatch. I am going for the two of them fighting in Yosemite National Park. I can't seem to stop the AI from morphing the two together. This happens especially when I type in something like "teddy Roosevelt and bigfoot fighting" I guess it thinks I want a hybrid of the two. (for example: cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1014957472940818452/1018928523475427408/danny__NYC_tintype_photo_realistic_Teddy_Roosevelt_fight_Bigfoo_3c2e991a-b25a-487a-9c37-a2731a27d1b3.png)

[@SINYC02]

@@happytoolbox Also, I tried your prompt but used the word fighting and again got the morphing of the two subjects: media.discordapp.net/attachments/1014957472940818452/1018930151322562590/danny__NYC_Tintype_5d299110-6c8b-408e-829b-2bed1b1fa83d.png

[@happytoolbox]

@@SINYC02 Ah haha love it! I was able to get something similar to yours and then using "Remaster" really took it to the level of separation you're looking for. It's never perfect but maybe there are some alts you could work with photoshopping at that point? I used "Teddy Roosevelt :: Big foot :: fist fighting in Yosemite national park. Vintage photograph look."

[@stasgershkovich360]

Stop worrying about the video being long... keep talking, expanding it's cool it's interesting and if someone is rushing he shouldn't even watch a video about something complicated like AI Generated art...

[@happytoolbox]

Appreciate the feedback!

[@aaronsinger6363]

Using MJ prompts is like herding cats. Half the time they don't even work properly or seemingly not at all. This video portrayed another failed attempt at consistency. You cannot tell a story in MJ. It produces nice, single images according to its algorithms, but it is just a toy for me right now, and at best an idea generator for artists.

[@drifterdax]

Very helpful. However, just so I’m clear, when you say, “Post a photo URL to the Mid journey Bot” do you mean for me to paste the URL of the photo I want it to reference into the Prompt along with my description?

[@happytoolbox]

yeah you you include the really long URL in your prompt followed by your description of what you want and then at the end of the prompt include the --iw .5 or whatever value you want
