ChatGPT MJ Instructions Part 1

 Dear ChatGPT:

For now, only read the following, and after reading it, await further instructions.

This is information regarding a popular online text-to-image Ai tool called “Midjourney”. Users can use a chat application, Discord, to communicate with the Midjourney ai bot to create images. It uses simple commands and requires no coding experience to create aesthetically pleasing images. Your task is now to provide me with an original extremely detailed and creative precise prompt for Midjourney when I give you an input idea. You should always respect the precise prompting style for Midjourney that I will provide next.    

Note: For the construction of MidJourney prompts, there's no need to search the web. All necessary information and guidelines are provided in this document. Rely on the content herein when crafting prompts and refrain from web searches unless explicitly asked to do so.


Prompts

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. A well-crafted prompt can help make unique and exciting images.


Structure 

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

 

Image Prompts

Image URLs can be added to a prompt to influence the style and content of the finished result. Image URLs always go at the front of a prompt.

 

Prompt Text

The text description of what image you want to generate. See below for prompting information and tips. Well-written prompts help generate amazing images.


Parameters

Parameters change how an image generates. Parameters can change aspect ratios, models, upscalers, and lots more. Parameters go at the end of the prompt.

 

Basic Parameters

Aspect Ratios

--aspect, or --ar Change the aspect ratio of a generation. These must be integers.

 

Chaos

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

 

No

--no Negative prompting, --no plants would try to remove plants from the image.

 

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, like television static, 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. 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.

 

Stylize

--stylize <number>, or --s <number> parameter influences how strongly Midjourney's default aesthetic style is applied to Jobs.

 

Uplight

--uplight Use an alternative "light" upscaler when selecting the U buttons. The results are closer to the original grid image. The upscaled image is less detailed and smoother.

 

Upbeta

--upbeta Use an alternative beta upscaler when selecting the U buttons. The results are closer to the original grid image. The upscaled image has significantly fewer added details.

 

Image Weight

--iw Sets image prompt weight relative to text weight. The default value is --iw 0.25.

 

Sameseed

--sameseed Seed values create a single large random noise field applied across all images in the initial grid. When --sameseed is specified, all images in the initial grid use the same starting noise and will produce very similar generated images


In order to create effective MidJourney prompts that involve cameras, several key elements should be considered:

  1. Start the prompt by establishing the desired aesthetic and feel of the photograph (e.g., "a vibrant, color-filled photograph" or "a high-contrast, black and white image").

  2. Follow this with the main subject of the photograph, enclosed in square brackets and assigned a weight to indicate its importance (e.g., "[street scene]::3" or "[model]::4").

  3. Specify the camera and lens to be used, as well as the aperture setting (e.g., "Use a Sony α7 III with a 50mm lens at F1.8 aperture setting"). As ChatGPT, you will likely receive user requests for MidJourney prompts that are simple, like "Please give me a prompt featuring the photography of Ansel Adams". Even if the request is brief, your response must be a detailed and creative prompt that follows the established MidJourney syntax. Apply your knowledge of photography and the specific style of the artist mentioned to specify the camera, lens, and aperture setting that best suit the desired image.

  4. Continue by describing additional elements or aspects of interest in the scene. These should also be enclosed in square brackets and assigned weights to indicate their importance (e.g., "[colors in their attire]::4", "[intricate architecture]::3").

  5. Describe the style or technique that the photograph should emulate. This could be inspired by a known photographer or a specific genre of photography (e.g., "Award-winning street photography" or "Capture Cartier-Bresson's 'decisive moment'").

  6. State the lighting conditions, color grading, and any other attributes that contribute to the mood and aesthetic of the photograph (e.g., "Professional color grading. Soft shadows. High contrast. Clean sharp focus").

  7. Conclude the prompt by indicating the aspect ratio of the final photograph (e.g., "--ar 16:9").

  8. Use phrases like "Award-winning studio photography. Professional color grading. Soft shadows. No contrast, clean sharp focus." These have proven effective in previous prompts.

  9. Always start prompts with "a" or "an," and do not start with a verb. The prompts should be written as if they are continuing from "/imagine".

  10. Prompts cannot end in a period.

Remember MidJourney prompts being with "/imagine" (which is already given, you just assume this part exists), so prompts should generally start with "a" or "an," certainly not with a verb. Also remember that prompts cannot end in a period.

Versailles Unveiled: The Power Dynamics of Louis XVI's Salons

Image
  It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. In the heart of Paris, during the best and worst of times, sat Louis XVI, ensconced in the grandeur of Versailles. The salons of the era, with their opulent design and luxurious materials, reflected an age of excesses. Yet, these spaces were more than mere aesthetic marvels; they were potent symbols of the nobility's power. As revolution's whispers grew louder and social disparity starker, these salons served as bastions of the old order, standing in stark contrast to the tumult outside. They were not just about style; they were a response, a bold declaration to a world on the brink of transformation. Amid societal upheaval, within these gilded walls, the monarchy's grandeur endeavored to assert its relevance.

The Secret of Happiness

 This post will discuss the secret of happiness, the subject of many books, and studies, but actually very simple, which is to be grateful, appreciative, and thankful. I understand there has been a fair amount of research into this, but I'm not looked into this, but learned this through my study of narcissism. Narcissism (I'm referring to especially in the context of narcissistic personality disorder) is characterized by a number of things, including excessively seeking attention, excessive dreaming of something better (a better job, a better mate, etc.), perceiving oneself as special and that only other special people perceive this, feelings of grandiosity, an exaggerated sense of entitlement, manipulating others, a lack of compassion for others, arrogance, and excessive jealousy.  I was interested in which of these symptoms is the horse, and which the care, and discovered that the horse is the exaggerated sense of entitlement, whereas "arrogance" is essentially a sy...

How to Beat KataGo at 4 stones - Another example where W starts out with San San

Image
  This example is similar to a previous one in that KataGo starts out by invading the Lower Left (LL) corner, but a different approach is used by B, where moves 2 and 4 are played and then 6, rather than 6 immediately. Here KataGo has invaded in the UL adn LR corners, and played 31. The strategy B is implementing involves 4 items: 1. Kill 2 of W's corners. 2. Make a territory somewhere else besides the 2 killed corners. 3. Don't allow W a huge territory. 4. Keep the B groups safe. The most challenging item is the second one, as KataGo is very good at sniffing out prospective territories and limiting them, especially if there is a weak group to attack, or some problem with the shape. Before 31 was played, there were potential areas to develop in the upper side, right side, and bottom side, although with 13 sticking out, the top side doesn't look very promising.  Once 31 is played, the bottom side looks to be most promising, especially after played 47 (in the next diagram). O...
