I recently held a workshop with some professionals from the creative industry.
One particular participant had already been using Midjourney for quite some time.
He explained that one of his biggest challenges was countering Midjourney's inherent biases.
His primary objective was to create imagery that is so unique that almost no one would be able to replicate it without knowing the exact ingredients of the prompt.
He specifically asked whether I knew of a way to apply individual custom weights to multiple image references in an image prompt.
Unfortunately, at the time, it was generally accepted knowledge that you cannot do this in Midjourney.
The only way to apply any sort of weighting to images was to use the --iw parameter.
But guess what?
Apparently, out of nowhere, and with no particular announcement, Midjourney has snuck in a new special feature that will allow you to do just that.
It's pretty crazy because it's quite a paradigm shift in terms of how we use and blend image references.
And today, I'll show exactly how it's done.

Wow, the methods for ensuring Midjourney images are completely unique are amazing! This guide offers great strategies for standing out.

[@NexilisCreations]

I never clicked a video so fast, thank you for uploading. your content is always gold.

[@davidcummins8125]

I must admit I was initially a bit skeptical, but I see how the final step brought it all together. Interesting how similar but different they can be!

[@DrockSavage]

!!!! Chris... they did the thing I JUST asked you about. Incredible!

[@The-Spondy-School]

Chris -- you always seem to answer questions I've been wondering about. Once again, nice job.

[@AG_before]

14:02 This, in particular, was something I'm quite sure many of us didn't think of! Fantastic. 👍 Thank you very much.

[@chefranylaitenu7731]

Your explanation is so good! ❤

[@gabriel.rene.]

What is your stylize setting? Lately I’ve been very disappointed with the stylization parameter.

[@TokenizedAI]

I just use the default

[@GillBrooks]

This sounds really interesting, not to mention helpful! I wasn't aware that the text weights weren't included if someone else copies your prompt. Off to try it out :)

[@Wrobson-vq3ef]

Chris, your tutorials are amazing. You explain topics in very easy and especially logical way. It makes it a lot easier to understand even difficult issues. Could you tell why do you sometimes use weight without any number only with double colon? In this video you did it in refining blended image part. Thank you!

[@TokenizedAI]

If you don't set a specific weight, it just defaults to 1.

[@Wrobson-vq3ef]

@@TokenizedAI thank you a lot!

Fantastic workflow to structure a composition we want

[@Just-a-guy926]

Thank you for sharing this information. I have been working on a image for a month…

[@keeleycarrigan]

Interesting. I’ve done similar things with taking midjourney generations and chopping up different things from different generations in photoshop for a starting image.

[@yarrrdyman2093]

Great vid. Do you have a video detailing that final step a bit more? A lot of my images have that 3D comic look that I'd like to refine.

[@TokenizedAI]

Not on my YT channel. I explain Scaffolding Remix in detail in my course though.

[@balexandra848]

Do you have any advice on turning photos into a specific painting style *without* changing the contents of the original photo? I have a lot of my own photos that I just want to stylize (i.e. turn into a 1950s style airbrush painting or realistic acrylic painting)

[@TokenizedAI]

Afraid not, because that's not really the purpose of MJ.

[@balexandra848]

@@TokenizedAI Ah ok, had a feeling. Thanks for letting me know!

[@fadimantium]

WOW! This was so helpful! Thank you!

[@AndrewLXiong]

Love it...eye opening technique

[@BDLabs2]

15:00 Is what makes your final image unique is the simple text prompt you added at the very end @TokenizedAl? I’m wondering if what you mean by “unique” is being able to have the final prompt not reference the previous image urls and not the same as the previous prompts.

[@TokenizedAI]

It's the fact that you can add weights to each individual image reference and your chosen weights aren't known to the public. Unlike the rest of your prompt.

[@BDLabs2]

@@TokenizedAI I get it now. Thank you 😃. Nice photos you took at the end 👍 15:45 .

[@morpheus2573]

Thanks for another great tutorial. My understanding is that MJ will prevent you from using a seed or job number that wasn't generated by your account. MJ's website doesn't include all the info you'd need to reproduce the exact result... for good reason.

[@TokenizedAI]

Job number yes. But not the seed. The seed is just a random number.

[@morpheus2573]

@@TokenizedAI But you can't expect to replicate an exact copy of an image generated by someone else's account by using the information on the MJ website, right?

[@TokenizedAI]

Depends on how they prompt. If they always add all parameters (incl. seed) and never use any defaults, then sure you can.

[@timtim2500]

Hey Christian! Excellent video as usual! Can you please try to make MJ produce something for *Wimmelbilder* style? I've never seen any prompt able to do so... I thought about asking you! keep up the great work! 👍🏻‍ 🙂

[@TokenizedAI]

MJ is actually pretty good at "wimmelbilder". Just put it in your prompt. You may also need to try out v4 for this because I haven't tested it with v5 yet.

[@ShadowconGaming]

I've been doing it for a while like this: /Imagine prompt: [ ]::2 [ ]::3 rest of prompt

[@ppovoa1]

always incredible

[@kennbmondo]

Thank you.

[@MrSzwierzak]

So weight sum up to 100%. Im bad at math so using 0.7, 1.3, 5 for me difficult. But i can easily understand 20, 30, 50. Im gonna try it today. As always- good vid. Straight to my "MJ for future reference" playlist 😂

[@Cryptosifu]

Awesome.

[@5timesm]

You used style raw. It seems you wanted it in a cinematic photorealistic style… like your vacation pics were. Why did you use style raw?

[@TokenizedAI]

Raw gives me more control and less of MJ's default stylization, which isn't necessarily always better.

[@seradamframpton-oyamot4828]

Sorry, I'm new to this midjourney. I heard midjourney is one of those machine learning algorithms. I thought making someone's picture with it was tough, even with the same seed and parameters, because my MJ is fed totally different keywords than the other person.

[@TokenizedAI]

All your prompts are publicly visible. If you give me the exact same prompt with a seed, I can reproduce it pixel for pixel.

[@TokenizedAI]

I didn't mean that you should actually give me your prompt. I was just saying that with that prompt, I could reproduce it perfectly. The only limitation here is that I don't know which version you used. Btw, --upbeta is an old deprecated parameter. Unless you're using an older MJ version, it doesn't actually do anything. v5+ doesn't even have a separate upscaler yet.

[@artTASHA]

@@TokenizedAI What do you mean by saying that all prompts are visible to everyone? Even in the paid version in a private room?

[@TokenizedAI]

Unless you have a Pro subscription and are using Stealth Mode, every single one of your prompts is public on the Midjourney web app (the browser platform). Whether you generate your prompts in the official MJ Discord or your own, doesn't matter.

[@hatemtarek3715]

[@drumdrumcymbal1594]

Use the envelope icon then you will have all 4 image addresses..........don't need to waste upscale time.

[@TokenizedAI]

I have more GPU hours than I'd ever need. Plus, the images are already upscaled. Makes little to no difference in terms of fast hours usage.

I can see that you have been captivated by dune. did you find shai hulud in dubai? or maybe enjoyed some fremen ladies?

[@tristanmoreau1956]

??? who cares if someone takes your picture?? it's IA generated based on several styles copied on real artists,it didn't worried you to take transformed pictures from artists, so...

You don't get it. I'm not worried. Others are.

[@WhatDoesEvilMean]

What’s kind of especially bizarre about this video, is that there are 100s of videos SOLVING for the problem that Midjourney CAN’T recreate the identical image. Go ahead and try. Put in all of your parameters and then do it again. The images will be wildly different. This video is solving for a problem that not only doesn’t exist, but so much so doesn’t exist that people have created tutorials for integrating Midjourney into stable diffusion in order to compensate for the massive issue that it’s impossible to recreate an image you created in Midjourney using only Midjourney.

[@TokenizedAI]

There's nothing bizarre about it. Again, I'm not sure where you seem to have taken the wrong turn in the logic, but it really sounds like you've never used the --seed parameter before. The problem that you claim does not exist is a problem that I keep hearing from seasoned professionals from the creative industry (in workshops) that emphasize that they need a way to create 100% unique images. No offense, but I'll take their word over a random YT comment. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@WhatDoesEvilMean]

@@TokenizedAI Then make a video of you doing it. Make a video of you creating two identical images in Midjourney.

[@TokenizedAI]

I'm curious. Are you using an old version of Midjourney? Like v3? Cause with v5 and beyond, a 100% identical prompt (incl. the same seed) will always return the same images. I mean, they even put it in the official docs: docs.midjourney.com/docs/seeds See the section "Jobs run two times with --seed 123". This is exactly the behaviour that everyone here, except for you it seems, can observe.
