Chapter 2. Getting Started with Midjourney

Midjourney offers two main ways to create images: through its user-friendly web interface and its more advanced Discord setup. This chapter helps you get started with both, showing you how to create, refine, and organize your visuals.

You’ll begin by choosing how you want to work—whether it’s the clean Web UI or the more flexible Discord option. From there, you’ll learn how to write prompts, pick image styles and formats, and generate your first set of images.

Once you’re comfortable creating images, the chapter walks you through simple ways to improve and expand them using tools like upscale, vary, zoom, and pan. These features help you explore creative directions without starting from scratch.

You’ll also discover how to make small edits directly on the web—such as replacing an object, adding new details, or changing the overall mood—without needing to rewrite your prompt.

To keep your growing collection manageable, the final section introduces ways to organize your images using folders, filters, and smart searches.
