Getting Started with Midjourney

The easiest way to use Midjourney is through Discord. If you don’t have Discord, go to discord.com and download it. Think of Discord as a community chat app, like WhatsApp but for groups.

Joining the Midjourney Server

Once you have Discord, join the Midjourney server. It’s super simple: go to discord.gg/midjourney. This link is also in the description. After accepting the invite, you’re in! This is the easiest way to work with Midjourney.

Creating Your First AI Art

Now that you’re in the Midjourney Discord server, find one of the “newbie” channels. Here’s where the magic happens. Type `/imagine` and then tell Midjourney what you want to create. Use keywords to describe your idea. For example, you could type `/imagine dragon riding scenario`.

Adding Details for Realistic Results

To make your art look realistic and detailed, add extra instructions. Also, type `–V 4` to use version 4 of Midjourney, which gives the best results. You can also set the image’s aspect ratio. Type `–ar` followed by your choice: 2:3, 1:1, or 3:2. For example: `–ar 2:3`. Now, hit Enter and wait for Midjourney to work its magic.

Understanding the Results

Midjourney will give you a set of images based on your prompt. You’ll see options labeled “U” and “V.” “U” means “upscale,” so if you like an image, you can make it full resolution. “V” means “variations,” so you can create more images like that one. The arrows let you re-run the prompt if you don’t like the results. If you like version 3, just click ‘U3’ to upscale it.

Getting Your Art
