Five Ways to Improve Midjourney's Image Quality

This article is based on the Bilibili UP master 琥珀川Eric ‘s”Five Ways to Improve Midjourney Image Quality.” Thanks to the master for sharing.

This article comprehensively introduces the five methods mentioned above to improve the quality of Midjourney images, simple and practical, ready for immediate use. Let’s go!!!

Method 1: Create realistic images using camera parameters

By setting camera parameter keywords, Midjourney can generate realistic and true-to-life images. For example: focal length, aperture, the generated images can closely resemble the effects captured by a camera. Let’s take a look at this image:

The content described is: a person wearing a rain jacket walking in the Amazon rainforest. The prompt includes camera parameter keywords:

• Using a Canon camera with a 16-35mm lens

• Aperture set to f 2.8

Here is another image with camera settings suitable for close-up shots. You can see that the image generated by Midjourney also has a good background blur effect.

Using the same method, we can also generate aerial photography effects with the drone keyword Captured by DJI Mavic 3 PRO.

We can also set the name of the film director as a keyword. The generated images will reflect the style of the film director.

The image below uses the name of director Quentin Tarantino as a keyword.

It can be seen that setting appropriate camera parameters can significantly enhance the quality of your Midjourney images.

Method 2: Use Art Style Keywords

Midjourney can generate not only realistic images but also images in cartoon and anime styles.

For example: If we want to generate Japanese cartoon anime images, we can add the keyword Anime in the image description, and then add the parameter -- niji 5 afterwards.

-- niji 5 is a parameter specifically used for creating Japanese-style cartoon anime. When combined with the stylize parameter to adjust the intensity of the stylization, it can generate beautiful Japanese cartoon images.

We can also use the names of Japanese anime directors as keywords to generate images with a strong directorial style.

Midjourney can also generate American cartoon pictures. For example, to generate Pixar cartoon-style pictures, add the words to the descriptorsstyle of a Pixar Animation
Midjourney can also generate American cartoon anime images. For example, to generate images in the Pixar cartoon style, just add style of a Pixar Animation in the descriptive terms.

If you want to generate images in the style of American superhero comics, you can include keywords such as DC Marvel universe .

We can also generate pixel-style images by simply adding: 8 bit Pixel art as a keyword.

Of course, you can also try using other different art styles as keywords, such as: abstract, impressionism, watercolor, etc., to add more creativity to the images generated for you.

Method 3: Set Color Style

Color plays a crucial role in conveying emotions and enhancing visual effects.

Choosing the right primary color and color matching can create more visually impactful images.

The image below uses deep teal and light black as the main color tones, reflecting an unknown sci-fi effect.

This image uses orange as the main color, allowing the audience to feel a warm yet mysterious power.

Different main colors can express different emotions, and we can also use color matching to generate the images we want.

The color palette keywords of the conceptual image above are blue and orange, and the final generated image is a blend of the two colors.

You can also use some color matching keywords to create concept images of indoor scenes.

Do not underestimate the expressiveness of color, as it will greatly enhance the overall quality and aesthetic of your Midjourney images.

Method 4 Adjust the Weight of Text Prompts

Midjourney can use two colons to adjust the influence weight of the prompt words to highlight what you want to emphasize.

For example, we generated an image of a fire station.

The key prompt word is fire house and by default, Midjourney will generate an image of a fire station for us.

If we add two colons after the prompt word fire and include a weight value fire::2 , Midjourney will understand that we want to emphasize that the effect of fire is twice the default effect.

Thus, we obtain this image of the house and the blazing fire. The weight value added to the text prompt can influence the image output, emphasizing the content you want to convey.

Method 5: Remove unwanted elements

Sometimes the images generated by Midjourney contain elements that you do not want, and you can use the --no command to remove the elements you dislike.

For example, in this image, we want to generate a photo of a beautiful woman on the streets of New York.

The images generated by Midjourney by default have a lot of cars; I don’t want so many cars to appear in the picture. I only need to add the --no car command to generate images without cars.

Removing unnecessary elements can better highlight the theme you want to convey and improve the quality of your image.

Summary

The above five methods can help you generate better Midjourney images.

• Method 1: Create realistic images using camera parameters

• Method 2: Create stylized images using artistic style keywords

• Method 3: Set Color Style

• Method 4: Adjusting the weight of text prompts

• Method 5: Delete Unnecessary Elements

Haha, I have already applied it to the generation of Store resource covers, and the effect is very remarkable.
