Great video! A lot of people are posting Midjourney tutorials and guides right now, but I found this was one of the best for beginners. No drivel, just the important facts, good links and crediting other people properly. Kudos!
I tried your exact same ChatGPT Prompt "Write an image prompt for generative art to create a colorful, stylistic wolf" and ChatGPT provided a very long reply and was not something I could use for Midjourney. So much change in 6 months since you made this video. Learned a lot from you. Thank you
i like to the use the main chatroom so i can see others as i wait for mine and get inspiration. At first it was frustrating scrolling up to find mine. But I learned in the main chat there is a button in the upper right corner next to the search box called inbox. and it sends all your creations there, which is like a private box in the main chat. which is SUPER useful.
I learned about Mid-journey from your channel. Creating mages for my shorts and content with Mid-journey is so fun. I am so grateful to learn from you. I am now subscribed.
Today, I am starting my education about MidJourney (I am not even subscribed yet!). This video has taught me so much about the process, and I can't wait to jump in. Your tips and directives are priceless. Thank you!
@mreflow Matt, this old video at 14:30 made me create amazing art deco posters variations in the style of Charlie Harper, Jean Dunand, Edward Mason Eggleston and French illustrator Georges Lepape. From robots and grand prix cars to our two cats in tuxedos drinking wine. Great images for posters and other projects we have in mind after a few retouches in Photoshop Beta. Thanks Professor Wolfe for sharing and teaching new tricks and prompts for us, retired seniors catching up with the digital era and learning AI in 2023, to elaborate upon.
I often take alot of what I make then put it back through the bot as a reference and get some really unique art that I've had alot of people like! Lithographic is a prompt I use and I never see anyone else use it.
Super video Matt...I could go on and on, but Cliff Notes version for me, it took 4+ hours to go through the entire video because of the ideas that came to me as I watched. Super helpful. I owe you a beer....ok, several.
Hi Matt! I've been using DeepDreamGenerator because I found Midjourney too confusing with its distracting interface. This is the first video I've seen that really explains things in detail and I love how you show us exactly what to do. Absolutely love these images and want to give it a try myself. BTW, I'm a San Diegan too! Grew up there but living in TN now. I'm going to have to spend some time watching more of your videos! Thanks so much!!!
Messaging the robot one on one was the missing trick for me! As I am always doing multiple things at a time, searching form my images or upscale was really putting me off. I did simply not know that! Thanks a bunch!
Would be helpful to mention that midjourney has free trial but that version has a lot of restrictions, like number of images. You also can't message the bot directly in the free plan
@@MuhammadAbbas-ml2nb how? please share as I get error that "Free trial users are not allowed to DM the Midjourney Bot. You can upgrade to a paid plan to do so, by using the /subscribe command or visiting the website"
@@tanookimarketing BE QUIET. How dare you ASSUME what I DESERVE to have from Matt. Matt is my GOD, MY SAVIOR AND ALL KNOWING DISPENSER OF WISDOM. He should know ALL OF MY NEEDS, thoughts and even my HISTORY, down to the meals I had for BREAKFAST A YEAR AGO. I will ask of Matt ALL THINGS, FOREVER. AMEN
Thanks for the great guide. A couple of points about settings. You need to type /settings with a space after it before hitting enter. I missed out the space and the settings box did not come up. In the settings box, MJ version 4 is now selected as default. That must have changed in the last couple of weeks since you uploaded the video.
Thanks for sending this over! I appreciate you taking the time to look into this and provide such an informative resource. The video was great and it's clear that a lot of effort went into it. It's always helpful to have resources like this when starting out with Midjourney, so thank you again for sharing your findings!
Thanks for the video Matt:) I learned many things related to midjourney and started my Print On Demand Business in Redbubble using midjourney and Documenting everything about my Print On Demand journey in my channel.
Great video! In case anyone else wants to copy and paste some of the prompts: Synthwave Duotone 1990s point and click 16bit adventure game 32-bit isometric diagramatic drawing watercolor sketch stained glass window Charley Harper
Really useful and appreciated, though would have liked to have a brief explanation on how the prompting is understood so that we know how to type the prompts. For example, do we speak like a human, do we shorten certain things, how are commas interpreted, what do 2 colons do, how to separate subjects in words so they're not merged together visually, etc.
OMG!!!! What a fantastic video you have made!!! Very educational and mind blowing what can be done! Thank you so much! I have subscribed to your channel! Thank you! BLESS! 🙏
I got a error from the private bot "You are not allowed to DM with slash commands" i need to update to a paid version, how can i fix it? Cant i get this tool for free?
9:50 is it Synthwave or retrowave? Your prompt being typed here (and the previous shown on screen) doesn't match your narraton and the large caption card.
Hey Matt great tutorial, 20k more views in from 3 days ago! Woooo! I have a suggestion... make a video from some of the great comments in the comments to your video here
Got started with Genmo yesterday, now I'm playing with Midjourney. I'm so busy bugging out at some of the cool stuff other people are making I'm forgetting to make my own stuff LOL
Question. Great video. Very informative. My reference picture doesn't match the midjounrey generated image. The images are way off. No where near being close. How can I fix that?
Question: when you apply the --s or --q settings on an image does that apply to the upscales as well? I notice when i upscale there are still some slight changes in the image
Upscale recreates the image at a higher resolution. It does not consider modifiers to the prompt such as --s or --q, only the image itself. It will be different than the original as all upscalers and upscale models literally add pixels to an image. If you use Beta or Light Upscale, it will be closer to the original image in the grid, but will likely have other types of artifacts. To get the best upscale results, specific models trained on the type of image you're upscaling are needed. MidJourney doesn't seem to use that in the background though, at least not yet. You can take an image and find an upscaler that has model options online if it's necessary.
First of all, thank you for the valuable educational material you provide. I have tried to produce a picture of these various animals (bear, wolf, lion, elephant, owl) , such as together in the forest, but every time they give strange animals that are not real, what commands can I give so that it gives me a collection of different types of animals in one picture without a problem Please Help
Great video. Very helpful. I got a message saying I couldn't DM anything (use a slash) since I'm not a paid member. I really wanted to try it first. After I got rejected by the bot, I went into the newbie section. I couldn't make anything there either. They want to make me pay first.
These work with the free account in the "newbie" room. The only thing you can't do in the free account is to use your own private chat room like I showed in the video. (I didn't realize this was a paid feature when I recorded and am trying to be more transparent about what's paid and what's not in future videos)
I'm not sure but when I tried to prompt in the Midjourney Bot instead of the NEWBIE room it asked me to upgrade to PRO plan, can anyone tell me why did that happened since Matt was able to access it right away! Is he using a PRO plan of mid journey?
You are a grrrrreat Wolfe! Great video. In my renderings, I find MJ has a tendency to center all subjects right in the center/upper center of images, which is very frustrating. And I have tried all kinds of tricks to move main subjects off center, but they only work 5% of the time. Have you found a way to place the main subject in a certain area of the image, like you would in a camera viewer, say using the rule of thirds? When/If you ever find a way, will you please share making a video on how to specifically move the subject to a place on the image? It is very frustrating to keep throwing prompts at MidJourney's algorithmwall and hope it will stick somewhere and watch the blurry image turn into into 4 more images with subjects in the center. Thank you.
Thanks for this great video, I cannot change my settings. It keeps giving me a message view and adjust your personal settings, but does not show the menu you have shown. Only when I add command behind it a similar field opens but not with all the options. Would you know the reason why?

@@mozmorry stahp!
you can also see everything on the website under your portfolio
you can just make a server and then invite midjourney to your server
@@WiseChad but then you miss random ideas of inspiration in the feed. But having your own room/message feed with the mj bot is nice.

3 weeks since playing with and still as blown away as day one, GRT vid!
I know, right! Blows me away every time.
This is hands down the best collection of Mid Journey tips on You Tube.
WOW! That's saying a lot. Thank you so much.
@@mreflow i also want to thank you..your video is the best of the at least 30 i have watched..cant wait for any new videos you make..

I'm 2:00 minutes in and this tutorial is already better than the other Midjourney Tutorials that I've seen.
I can't believe artists are one of the first people to be replaced by AI
Seems you REALLLLYY love wolves!!🙂 Nice video btw
Having a name like Matt Wolfe, it's a requirement. ;)
Overall, I highly recommend this video to anyone looking to improve their prompting techniques and make meaningful progress on their mid-journey.
¡Great guide, Matt! Thanks a lot
From a content standpoint, and business standpoint your Future Tools website is ___ing brilliant.
Wow! Thank you so much.

You are right @DonnaRaePhotography
Been using it for months now, made my thumbnails with it. It’s very difficult to get exactly what you want, so this is very helpful. Thanks!
here is a good one, use this at the end of your prompt "engraving style, drawing ". It will fit perfect with your wolf theme ;) You are welcome.
Thank you. :)
I've been using midjourney for a while. ALL this was incredibly useful, absolutely
stunning.
Rate that you linked those who created the prompts. You got my thumbs up!
Messaging the robot one on one was the missing trick for me! As I am always doing multiple things at a time, searching form my images or upscale was really putting me off. I did simply not know that! Thanks a bunch!
Awesome. Glad it was helpful.
Is it also working with the basic subscription?
No messaging the bot does not work for free trials .

Since this video was made, it appears that now, there is version 5.1. Would we choose that over 4??
Extremely wonderful, no words can express my gratitude and appreciation, great done.

Your videos are so on point! Saw 2 of them by now and I'll watch some more :)
As far as I know. If you change any word of the prompt,
Or the aspect
Ratio . The seed doesn't mean anything and you will not receive a similar image
Do you have the guide or prompts in a txt?
Good stuff bro
I like the way you don't do too much extra talking in your tutorial. Thanks!
Very helpful stuff - thanks!!!!!
This was such an awesome video. Thank you for all of your great tips and tricks!
Not allowed to use slash commands with the MidJourney bot as a free user.
