  • How can users create custom codes in Midjourney?

    -Users can create custom codes by using the 'slash prefer option' command, giving their code a name, and setting a value with specific parameters or prompts that they wish to use regularly in their image generation.

  • What does the 'slash show' command do in Midjourney?

    -The 'slash show' command allows users to bring up the original grid of images from a previous job by entering the job ID. This enables them to perform further actions on those images, such as creating variations.

  • How can users get help or find documentation within Midjourney?

    -Users can get help or find documentation by using commands like 'slash docs' to access a list of documentation, 'slash faq' for frequently asked questions, and 'slash el' for a menu of places to get help or information.

Keywords

Slash Commands

Slash commands are a feature in Discord that allow users to perform specific actions by typing a forward slash followed by a command name. In the context of the video, slash commands are used to control various functions within the Midjourney AI Art tool, such as blending images, tuning styles, and adjusting settings.

Blend

The 'blend' command in Midjourney is used to combine multiple images into one. The video demonstrates how to use the /blend command to upload and blend two to five images together, creating a composite image. This is a core feature for creating complex and layered artwork.

Style Tuner

The style tuner is a feature that allows users to create a custom style for their images. The video explains how to use the /tune command to input a prompt and generate a style, which can then be applied to other images. This is significant for users who want to have a consistent aesthetic across their artwork.

GPU Time

GPU time refers to the processing time used by the graphics processing unit (GPU) to render images. In the video, it is mentioned in the context of the cost associated with using the style tuner feature. The more images a user wants to create with a particular style, the more GPU time it will consume.

Sticky Style

The sticky style feature, when activated using the /setting command, makes the AI continue to use the selected style for subsequent image generations as long as the style is specified in the prompt. This is useful for maintaining a consistent style across multiple creations.

Variability Modes

High variation and low variation modes, toggled by the /prefer variability command, determine the level of diversity in the generated images. High variation mode produces a wider range of different images, while low variation mode generates images that are more similar to each other.

Remix Mode

Remix mode, controlled by the /remix command, allows users to modify their prompts when creating variations or upscales of images. This feature provides flexibility to adjust the creative direction of an image without starting from scratch.

Aspect Ratio

The aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between the width and the height of an image. In the video, the /prefer suffix command is used to append aspect ratio values to prompts, ensuring that generated images adhere to specific dimensions, which is crucial for creating images suited for different platforms or displays.

Custom Codes

Custom codes are user-defined presets that can be created using the /prefer option command. These codes can store specific settings or styles, making it easy to apply a user's preferred parameters to new prompts quickly. In the video, a custom code named 'hypo1' is created to include 'extremely bright colors' and specific aspect ratios.

Job ID

A job ID is a unique identifier for a specific task or operation. In the context of the video, the job ID is used to reference a previous image generation task in Midjourney. By using the /show command followed by the job ID, users can retrieve and continue working on images from past sessions.

Daily Theme

The daily theme is a feature within the Midjourney server that provides a daily prompt for users to create images around a specific theme. By participating in the daily theme, users can engage with the community, gain inspiration, and see how others interpret the same theme.
