Tip 1: change the type aspect of your images
By default, your images will be generated as squares. Use the --ar argument to change that.
--ar 16:9 // cinema screen aspect ratio
--ar 4:3 // normal landscape picture
--ar 2:3 // classic portrait picture
Tip 2: go relax
If you are not in a hurry, save some credits by going in relax mode:
/relax
If you want to switch back to speedy mode:
/fast
Tip 3: explore styles and keywords
MidJourney Styles and Keywords Reference: excellent!! Great to see the actual effect of styles and keywords.
Tip 4: post fixing faces with GFPGAN
Sometimes, faces are not that perfect with Midjourney. If you get a kind of buggy face, you can have a go at GFPGAN, which is an AI tool for fixing faces in low quality photographs.
Some good tutorials on YouTube
⭐️ Midjourney AI - Best Prompt Ticks - Beginners Guide - Olivio Sarikas: clear and detailed beginners guide to Midjourney. A very good place to start.
⭐⭐️ I found the ultimate CHEAT CODE in Midjourney - Future Tech Pilot: a really nice hack to get fantastic stylised images. You basically create an beautiful abstract image, then you pass it as an image prompt.
⭐️⭐⭐️ Mastering Midjourney in 2023 | The Ultimate Guide - Glibatree: an excellent tutorial that starts with explaining the basic parameters, then goes very deep into styles. At the end it gives you a list of the author's best styles with a link to a pastebin text file to his styles where you can copy them all to use.
