A Comprehensive Guide to Common Midjourney Commands (Part 1) - Essential for Beginners

Today, I was completely captivated by a few images I saw on a WeChat public account.

These iterating mountains, this floating boat, and the ancient clothing, it’s simply amazing. I’ve never seen anything like this before. Which master artist painted these, and what prompts were used? Upon further inspection, I realized that it’s not about painting but about Chinese studies.

Wow, such beautiful images really drew me in. Attractive images can definitely capture more attention. This only strengthened my desire to learn painting.

Just starting to learn, let’s begin with the basics, the page introduction, and common basic commands.

I. Interface Introduction

First, log in to the system and enter the main page.

1. The first part of the left menu bar is some official announcements and rules, such as updates and prohibitions on generating inappropriate or illegal images.

2. The second part is the beginner’s room. Every user is assigned three beginner rooms. You can join any one of them. After joining, you can see everyone generating their own images on the right side of the page, similar to QQ chat rooms in the past. I used QQ in high school, and it was fresh at that time. During evening self-study sessions, I would secretly play on my phone, waiting for the teacher to leave. Although talking was not allowed, we could enter QQ chat rooms and watch others chat, which was very entertaining. This nostalgic feeling reminded me of QQ chat rooms which are no longer available.

3. The third part is the prompt words. Midjourney only supports input in English. You can use Youdao Dictionary for translation. I prefer this tool for its simple interface and small pop-up windows that can hover over other applications, making it convenient for real-time translation.

4. The fourth part is where you input the prompt words. Typing “/imagine” will bring up a prompt box. Enter your English prompt words in this prompt box and press Enter to generate the image.

II. Creating a Private Server

A drawback of generating images in the chat room is that your images get quickly buried. Since this platform is used by people worldwide, we need to create a private server for our use.

Follow the steps:

Upload an image, name it, and click Create.

The input prompt area also has other functions. A commonly used one is to upload files, such as uploading a local image for modification.

After creating the server, it cannot be used immediately. You need to add the Midjourney Bot to generate images.

Enter the Midjourney lobby, click on the member list, and select the bot in the middle.

Step by step, add to the server.

Add it to your server, click Continue, authorize, and verify.

I must say, this website has too many verification steps. You have to verify every small operation, such strong self-protection awareness.

The bot has been successfully added.
