Chapter 3. Advanced Midjourney Techniques

Once you’re comfortable generating images, Midjourney gives you powerful tools to shape results with greater precision. This chapter focuses on advanced parameters that help you control the visual style, structure, and consistency of your outputs.

We start with stylization and output quality. You’ll learn how --stylize affects artistic freedom, how --raw creates more neutral outputs, and how --quality adjusts rendering detail and processing time.

Next, we look at how randomness can drive creative exploration. Parameters like --weird, --chaos, and --seed let you push ideas in unexpected directions or recreate specific layouts for further refinement.

From there, we dive into image-based prompting. You’ll discover how to use reference images to control layout, style, and character identity using --iw, --sw, and --cw. For quick visual merging, we also introduce the /blend command.

To fine-tune your results further, we explore features like --no for removing elements, --tile for seamless patterns, and --repeat for generating multiple variations at once.

The chapter concludes with personalization. By ranking image preferences, you can train Midjourney to learn your visual taste. Once unlocked, the --p parameter lets you apply that style automatically—bringing more consistency and personal flair to your work.
