In this section, we'll dive into theMidjourneySeveral important precursor commands are available, including /blend (blend mode), /describe (cue word description), /shorten (cue word reduction), as well as /info (information view) and /subscribe (subscribe).
By the end of this section, you will be able to better understand what these commands do and how to use them.
i. /blend (blend mode)
The /blend command allows us to upload between 2 and 5 images and Midjourney will blend them into a new image based on their characteristics.
This is like a blender that mixes the features of multiple images together.
1、Operation Demonstration
First, we upload two images, say a picture of a beautiful woman and a picture of a dress, and then Midjourney will mix the features of these two images to generate a new image of the beautiful woman wearing that dress.
2、Parameter setting
In blend mode, we can add more picture slots, up to five.
In addition, we can specify the size of the generated image to avoid black edges in the generated image.
3. Cautions
- Blend mode can only blend images, you can't add text keywords.
- The size of the uploaded image should be the same as the size of the generated structure to avoid black border issues.
- You can only upload a maximum of five images, beyond that you need to use the /imagine command.
- The post parameters set in /settings are still valid in blend mode, but cannot be set actively.
II./describe (prompt word description)
The /describe directive helps us surmise what kind of cue words an image was probably generated with.
This is useful for situations where you want to replicate an AI-generated image but don't know the cue words.
1、Operation process
After uploading an image, Midjourney will give four sets of hypothesized cues and provide buttons to generate the image directly. If you are not satisfied with the hypothesized prompts, you can also refresh to generate new prompts.
2. Cautions
- Midjourney's cue words for images are only guesses and cannot be used to accurately replicate uploaded images.
- When describing an image, it describes the proportions of the image, which may need to be adjusted by us.
III. /shorten (cue word reduction)
The /shorten command analyzes your cues, highlights the cues that have the greatest impact on the screen, and suggests which cues can be deleted to help you optimize your cues.
1、Operation process
Paste the cue into the /shorten command and Midjourney will give an analysis of the cue and suggestions for shortening it.
The show details feature allows us to see the weight of each term so that we can better optimize the cue words.
2. Cautions
- The cues generated by /"shorten" do not carry negative cues and weights.
IV. /info and /subscribe
- /info: View some information about the current account, such as quick generation time left, subscription renewal time, etc.
- /subscribe: Controls account subscriptions and purchases Midjourney's membership features.
V. Conclusion
In this section we learn in detail about a few important precursor commands to Midjourney.
Hopefully this knowledge will help you get better at Midjourney and create even better work.
