Basic Parameters

Aspect Ratios
--aspect, or --ar Change the aspect ratio of a generation.

Chaos
--chaos <number 0–100> Change how varied the results will be.
Higher values produce more unusual and unexpected generations.

Quality
--quality <.25, .5, 1, or 2>, or --q <.25, .5, 1, or 2> How much rendering quality time you want to
spend. The default value is 1. Higher values cost more and lower values cost less.

Seed
--seed <integer between 0–4294967295> The Midjourney bot uses a seed number to create
a field of visual noise as a starting point to generate the initial image grids.

Seed numbers are generated randomly for each image but can be specified with the
--seed or --sameseed parameter.

Learn More Here: Using the same seed number and prompt will produce similar ending images.

Stop
--stop <integer between 10–100> Use the --stop parameter to finish a Job partway through the
process. Stopping a Job at an earlier percentage can create blurrier, less detailed results.

Style
--style <4a, 4b, or 4c> Switch between versions of the Midjourney Model Version 4
--style <cute, expressive, or scenic> Switch between versions of the Niji Model Version 5

More Prompts and visual examples of different styles of NIji Mode here.

Midjourney's default aesthetic style is applied to Jobs.
 THE BASIC

MIDJOURNEY
PROMPT
A Prompt is a short text phrase that the Midjourney Bot interprets to
produce an image.

The Midjourney Bot breaks down the words and phrases in a prompt
into smaller pieces, called tokens, that can be compared to its training
data and then used to generate an image.

Basic Prompts
A basic prompt can be as simple as a single word, phrase or emoji

Advanced Prompts
More advanced prompts can include one or more image URLs, multiple text phrases, and one or
more parameters
