Install Discord and join the Midjourney server.

• First, download and install the Discord app on your device, or access it via the web.
• Once you have Discord set up, join the Midjourney server by using the invite link provided on the Midjourney or here https://discord.com/invite/midjourney
• Once you have joined the server, you will be able to access the Midjourney bot and use its commands to generate images.
• It is important to note that you must be a member of the Midjourney server in order to use the bot's commands.
• You may also be asked to accept the terms and conditions before accessing the server.
• Once you have joined the server and accepted the terms, you're ready to start using the Midjourney bot.

Activate the Midjourney bot using commands, such as "/imagine" followed by your prompt.

• To generate an image using Midjourney, you'll need to use commands in the Discord server.
• The most basic command to get started is "/imagine" followed by your desired prompt.
• The prompt can be a simple text description of what you want the image to depict, or it can include advanced parameters and options.
• For example, "/imagine a robot playing guitar" or "/imagine a robot playing guitar --hd".
• Once you enter the command, the bot will generate an image based on the prompt and send it to the server for you to view and save.
• You can also use the command "/help" to get a list of all available commands and how to use them.
• It is important to note that the bot will only respond to commands when called in a channel it has access to, and that the bot may have a queue of requests, so it may take some time for your image to be generated.
• Additionally, you can also use the command "/subscribe" to switch to a paid account, which will give you access to more features, such as high-definition images.
• In case you made an error or you want to change your prompt, you can use the command "/edit" followed by the new prompt.

Use the "/subscribe" command to switch to a paid account.

• Midjourney offers a paid subscription service that gives users access to additional features and options.
• To switch to a paid account, you will need to use the "/subscribe" command in the Discord server.
• Once you enter the command, the bot will provide you with information on the subscription plans available and the benefits of each.
• You can then choose the plan that best suits your needs and follow the prompts to complete the subscription process.
• Payment methods can vary, but commonly used options are credit card and PayPal.
• After subscribing, the bot will confirm your new subscription status and you can start using the additional features.
• It is important to note that subscription plans are offered on a monthly or annual basis, and that you will need to renew your subscription in order to continue using the additional features.
• Additionally, you may also be able to access a free trial by using the command "/trial" which will give you access to some of the paid features for a limited time.
• If you wish to cancel or change your subscription, you can use the command "/unsubscribe" to cancel your subscription or "/subscription" to view your current plan and options to upgrade or downgrade your subscription.

Access the Midjourney web app to view your recent images and the community feed.

• In addition to using the Discord bot, Midjourney also offers a web app that allows users to view their recent images and access the community feed.
• To access the web app, you can visit the Midjourney website and log in with your Discord account.
• Once logged in, you can view your recent images and access the community feed, which is a collection of images and prompts shared by other Midjourney users.
• The web app also allows you to edit and delete your images, and to access more advanced features such as using your own images as a source.
• The community feed is a great place to find inspiration for new prompts, and to see examples of what other users have created.
• Additionally, you can also use the web app to access your account settings and manage your subscription.
• It is important to note that you will need to be logged in to your Discord account to access the web app and that some features may only be available to paid subscribers.
• You can also use the web app to look at the history of your generated images, and download them if you like.
• The web app is also a great place to share your images with others and to receive feedback on your work.

Use advanced prompts, such as Lexica and PromptHero, or the MJ Prompt Tool to create prompts visually.

• In addition to the basic "/imagine" command, Midjourney offers several advanced tools and resources to help users create more complex and detailed prompts.
• One such tool is Lexica, a search tool for Stable Diffusion images. This tool allows users to search for and view examples of images that have been created using specific parameters or styles.
• Another resource is PromptHero, which offers a collection of the best Midjourney prompts, along with tips and techniques for creating your own prompts.
• The MJ Prompt Tool is also a great resource for creating prompts visually, with dedicated buttons and built-in options to help users create prompts without needing to remember all the parameters.
• These tools and resources can help users to create more advanced and detailed images, and can be especially useful for users who are new to Midjourney or who are looking to improve their skills.
• It is important to note that some of these tools and resources may only be available to paid subscribers, and that the availability of these resources may vary depending on the region you are in.
• Additionally, these resources can also help users to discover new parameters and options that are not listed in the basic documentation, and can be a great way to learn how to use the bot more effectively.

Utilize cheat sheets for Midjourney parameters, such as "--ar" for aspect ratio and size and "--hd" for high definition.

• To create more advanced and detailed images using Midjourney, users can also utilize cheat sheets for various parameters and options.
• These cheat sheets provide a quick reference guide for the different parameters that can be used in the "/imagine" command to customize the image.
• For example, "--ar" is used to define aspect ratio and size, such as "--ar 3:2".
• "::" can be used to emphasize certain words in the prompt, such as "man::1 holding a dog::3" where the dog is 3x more important.
• "--hd" is used to generate a high-definition image.
• These are just a few examples of the many parameters that are available for use with Midjourney.
• Users can find cheat sheets for Midjourney parameters by searching online or by visiting the Midjourney website or community forums.
• It's important to note that not all parameters are available for free users, and that some parameters may be region-specific.
• Using cheat sheets can help users to create more detailed and customized images, and can be especially useful for users who are new to Midjourney or who are looking to improve their skills.
• Additionally, users can also use the web app to access more information about the parameters and options.

Access your Midjourney settings by typing the '/settings' command on Discord.

• To customize your Midjourney experience, you can access your settings by typing the '/settings' command in the Discord server.
• This command will bring up a menu of options that allow you to adjust various settings, such as the language of the bot, the time zone, and the privacy settings.
• Depending on the version of the bot you're using, you may also be able to access additional settings such as the ability to change the default image format or to set reminders for subscription renewals.
• Some settings can only be changed by the server owner or by a user with permission to do so.
• It is important to note that changes made to the settings will apply to all images generated by the bot for that specific user.
• Additionally, you can also use the settings menu to manage your subscription and access your billing information.
• It's also important to note that some settings may only be available to paid subscribers.
• By adjusting your settings, you can make sure that the bot is working the way you want it to and that you're getting the most out of your Midjourney experience.

Find your images on Discord by using the Midjourney web app, checking the 'inbox' tab for mentions, or starting a private chat with the bot.

• One of the common challenges when using Midjourney on Discord is keeping track of the images that have been generated.
• To find your images, you can use the Midjourney web app to view all of your images and access the community feed.
• You can also see all your mentions on Discord by going to the 'inbox' tab, where you can filter the messages by mentions to find your images.
• To avoid getting lost in the endless stream of messages, you can also start a private chat with the bot, by clicking the 'direct messages' button and going to the 'Midjourney Bot' chat.
• This way, you will have a dedicated chat with the bot where you can keep track of all the images generated.
• Additionally, you can also save the images generated by the bot to your device by right-clicking on the image and selecting "save image as" or using a third-party tool to save the image.
• Keep in mind that some images may be deleted by the bot after a certain period of time, so it's important to save the images that you want to keep.
• Additionally, you can also use the command "/history" to see the history of all the images you've generated and download them if you like.

Use the img2img feature to use your own photos as a source or blend multiple images together.

• One of the advanced features offered by Midjourney is the ability to use your own photos as a source for generating new images. This feature is often referred to as img2img.
• To use your own photo as a source, you will first need to upload the photo to the Midjourney web app.
• Once the photo is uploaded, you can use the "/imagine" command followed by your prompt and the URL of the photo to generate a new image based on the source photo.
• For example, "/imagine --url=**https://example.com/myphoto.jpg** a robot playing guitar"
• Additionally, you can also use this feature to blend multiple images together, by using the "/blend" command followed by the URL of the images you want to blend.
• It's important to note that the img2img feature may only be available to paid subscribers, and that the availability of this feature may vary depending on the region you are in.
• Additionally, you can also use the web app to access more information about how to use this feature and to access more advanced options for img2img.
• Using the img2img feature can help you to create more unique and personalized images, and can be especially useful for users who are looking to combine their own photos with the capabilities of Midjourney.

Use the same characters across multiple images by saving them as templates.

• Another advanced feature offered by Midjourney is the ability to save characters or elements in an image as a template, and then use them in multiple images.
• To save a character or element as a template, you will first need to generate an image with the character or element that you want to save.
• Once the image is generated, you can use the command "/save" followed by the name you want to give to the template.
• For example, "/save robot_template".
• After saving the template, you can then use it in future prompts by using the command "/template" followed by the name of the template.
• For example, "/imagine robot_template playing guitar"
• This feature can be useful for creating a series of images that feature the same characters or elements, and can save time when creating multiple images with the same subject.
• It's important to note that this feature may only be available to paid subscribers, and that the availability of this feature may vary depending on the region you are in.
• Additionally, you can also use the web app to access more information about how to use this feature, and to access more advanced options for templates.
• Using templates can help you to create a series of images that feature the same characters or elements, and can save time when creating multiple images with the same subject.
