Secret Commands & Hidden Features
/describeHidden Gem
Upload any image and Midjourney will generate 4 potential prompts that could create similar images. Perfect for learning prompt structure!
/blendHidden Gem
Blend 2-5 images together to create new compositions. Great for combining concepts and styles!
/prefer option setPower User
Create custom shortcuts for your frequently used parameters. Example: /prefer option set my16 --ar 16:9
/prefer suffixPower User
Automatically add parameters to every prompt. Great for setting default aspect ratios or versions!
Workflow Optimization
Save Your Seeds
Always note the seed of great generations. Use --seed [number] to recreate similar results.
Create Templates
Build prompt templates with placeholders for quick iteration and consistency.
Organize Gallery
Use Discord folders to organize your creations by project, style, or subject.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Overcomplicating Prompts
Too many elements can confuse the AI. Focus on 3-4 key elements.
❌ Ignoring Version Differences
V5.2 understands natural language better. Don't use old prompt structures.
❌ Not Using Parameters
Parameters give you control. Always consider --ar, --s, --c for better results.
❌ Wasting Fast Hours
Use relax mode for experimentation, fast mode for final refinements.
Before & After: Prompt Improvement
❌ Beginner Prompt
a beautiful landscape with mountains and lake
Result: Generic, lacks style and specificity
✅ Pro Prompt
majestic mountain landscape at golden hour, crystal clear alpine lake, dramatic clouds, photorealistic, cinematic composition, 8k --ar 16:9 --v 5.2
Result: Specific, stylized, professional quality
