Bonus Lesson

In this lesson we will consider parameters that we will not need in this course. But at the same time, their knowledge will allow us to quickly understand other platforms.

And we will start with the fact that in addition to the already considered separator "," there is a separator in the form of "::". And all you need to know is the difference between them.

So "," is used for soft separation. That is, each query parameter separated by a comma is a part of the whole.

And "::" is used for hard separation. It is used when you want to split a query and tell the AI to emphasize each individual parameter.

For example: background, cyberpunk city :: neon light :: pink color

Next in line are the parameters that start with "--". They are used mostly inside midjourney. They will not be used in this course, but you should know them.

Here's a list of existing ones:

  • --w — Image Width. Works better if the number is a multiple of 64. -h* - Height of the image. Works best if the number is a multiple of 64-ar - Sets the aspect ratio you want. 1:1, 2:3, 3:2 work best, other ratios may create banding around the edges. Example: --ar 16:9* --uplight - Uses "light upscaling" so that the image will not change much after U is applied to it
  • --q (число) - affects image quality, currently ranges from 0.25 to 2, originally set to 1
  • --chaos (число) — affects how varied your images will be, the higher it is the more interesting and strange they will be. The range of values is from 0 to 100
  • --hd — Uses a different algorithm, suitable for abstract and landscape queries.Generates higher resolution images.
  • ::<число> — You can add a suffix from -1 to 2 to any tag (no spaces) to assign importance and weight to it, i.e. how much influence it will have on the image.
  • --iw (число) - affects the importance and impact of the URLs you use for the example on the final result
  • -no — Exclude a certain type of objects from the picture
  • --stop (10-100) - stops the generation process at a certain percentage, varies from 10 to 100
  • --video — Creates a video of the image generation process.
