Takeaways
- 🔄 Use the keyboard's up arrow to quickly fill in your last prompt for testing different parameters.
- 🖼️ For panorama images, focus on the aspect ratio, with wider being better, and try aspect ratios like 3x1, 4x1, or 5x1.
- 📐 Save any image with a custom aspect ratio by adjusting the zoom and changing the zoom value from 2 to 1 to maintain the image focus.
- 🖼️ Custom Zoom behaves differently on the website, allowing you to position the original image and adjust the frame shape.
- 🕺 To avoid full body shots being cut off, mention items at the top and bottom of the subject to ensure the full body is visible.
- 🎨 Utilize Mid Journey's 'style random' feature combined with Custom Zoom for unique artistic styles.
- 🔄 Generate images in older algorithms and remix them into the latest for a different aesthetic.
- 🎭 Use 'nii 5 style cute' to create anime-style characters with a consistent 'cute' theme.
- 🤖 Include 'WF 2009' in prompts for a detailed figurine look, as shared by a community member.
- 🔍 Fake a zoom-in effect by starting with an extremely zoomed-in image and then reversing the images to create the illusion of zooming in.
- 🏆 Try the 'archigram' style prompt for a variety of grid-based artistic interpretations.
- 🎨 Style reference has four versions, each offering different artistic or accurate renditions of a style.
- 👕 Use 'D- no mockup' in prompts to receive only the design without the actual object, like a t-shirt or painting.

Q & A
What is the purpose of the video titled '14 Prompt Tips to Help You in Midjourney'?
-The video aims to educate viewers on various tips and techniques to improve their experience and results when using the mid-journey platform, providing 14 specific prompt tips.
How can you quickly fill in your last prompt on the mid-journey platform?
-You can click up on the keyboard to fill in your last prompt, which is useful for testing different parameters after trying a simple foundational prompt.
What is the best aspect ratio for creating panorama images in mid-journey?
-The wider the aspect ratio, the better for panoramas. You can try aspect ratios like 3x1 for a mini golf course, 4x1 for a soccer stadium, or 5x1 for a disco tech nightclub.
How can you save an image with a different aspect ratio than initially chosen in mid-journey?
-You can use custom zoom and adjust the ratio. Remember to change the zoom from 2 to 1 to maintain the focus on the subject while adjusting the frame.
What is the difference between custom zoom on the website and other interfaces in mid-journey?
-On the website, custom zoom allows you to choose where the original image sits in the next generation and adjust the shape of the frame, providing more control over the composition.
How can you ensure a full body shot is generated in mid-journey without any parts being cut off?
-Mention something at the top, like hair or a hat, and something at the bottom, like shoes. This helps mid-journey understand the extent of the subject and generate a full body shot.
What is the 'style random' feature in mid-journey, and how can it be used?
-The 'style random' feature, triggered by 'sref random', creates a completely random art style for the new generation. It can be used in combination with custom zoom to produce unique and varied images.
Why might you want to generate an image in an older mid-journey algorithm and then remix it into the latest?
-Using an older algorithm can provide a different aesthetic that might not be achievable with the latest version alone. Remixing can combine the best of both versions to create a unique result.
What does 'nii journey' refer to in the context of mid-journey, and how can it be used?
-'Nii journey' refers to the 'nii' bot, an anime style algorithm in mid-journey. It can be triggered by including 'D-nii' followed by the style version and 'cute' to create anime-style images with a cute aesthetic.
How can you create an intricate small figurine look in mid-journey?
-Include 'WF 2009' at the beginning of your prompt followed by your subject to create a mechanical toy figurine look with extremely high detail.
What technique can be used to create the illusion of zooming in on a subject in mid-journey?
-Start with an extremely zoomed-in picture, then zoom out and reverse the images to create the effect of zooming in on a particular subject.
What is the 'archigram' style in mid-journey, and how can it be used to create diverse looks?
-The 'archigram' style, triggered by the word 'archigram' or 'aragam', can create a variety of grid-based looks with a single word, offering a simple prompt for diverse results.
How does the 'style reference' feature work in mid-journey, and what are the differences between its four versions?
-The 'style reference' feature points to a particular picture for the next generation to follow the same style. Versions 1 and 3 are more artistic and carry the original's colors, while versions 2 and 4 are more accurate to the original picture's style.
When creating a t-shirt design in mid-journey, how can you ensure you only receive the design and not a picture of an actual t-shirt?
-Include 'Dash Das no mockup' at the end of your prompt to focus mid-journey on generating only the design, excluding the mockup of an actual t-shirt.
What guidance should you provide when prompting for a collage in mid-journey?
-Give the bot specific aspects or elements you want to appear in the collage along with the general art style. This guidance helps create a collage that meets your expectations.
