--no Midjourney: Mastering Negative prompts

Are you tired of your MJ images not turning out quite the way you wanted them to? Do you want more control over your image results? Let me introduce you to negative prompting. With negative prompting, you can tell MJ what you don't want to see. And that can have a huge effect on your images. Though maybe not always in the way you expect.
In this video, I’ll show you how to use the --no parameter and how to use negative weights in multi prompts.
Images created in Midjourney version 4 --style 4c

A thousand thank you's for this. I think one of my greatest challenges so far with AI image generators have been the negative prompts and writing them in such a way as to get the result I am wanting/seeking, especially in regards to head and feet getting cut off / out of frame quite a bit. You have given me some food for thought, things to try and re-word, and I thank you for that!!

Thanks! You're not the only one struggling with negative prompting. We all beat our heads against the wall sometimes trying to get the AI to listen. It's a bit like training a cat.

My quick Midjourney v4 prompt guide: ➊ Use `::` followed by an optional weight to split the prompt into paragraphs. The order of the paragraphs doesn’t matter but their weights do: `office worker::` = `office worker::1`. Note: `--no glasses` = `glasses::-0.5`. The higher the weight, the more important is the paragraph. The lower (including negative), the less important it is. ➋ Within a paragraph, simple punctuation splits text into phrases: `blue office worker` ≠ `blue office,worker` ≠ `blue,office worker`. Repeated or different punctuation like `blue,,,office worker` or `blue.office worker` with the same seed produce small variation (because they technically constitute a slightly different prompt). Repeated spaces are the same as a single space. ➌ Within a paragraph, word order influences grammar & leftmost words or phrases matter more: `worker,blue office` ≠ `blue office,worker`.

@AdamTwardoch Жыл бұрын

It's important to understand: the prompt "fish --no fish" is the same as "fish::1 fish::-0.5". So effectively you get "fish:0.5" so it's still "fish"

@AdamTwardoch Жыл бұрын

"--no xx" is just a shorthand for "xx::-0.5". You can do multiple negative prompts with different weights, but the total sum of weights must be >0

@AdamTwardoch Жыл бұрын

You can get very funny results, for example "house::6 tree::1 door::-0.5 windows::-2 human, face::-3" will make MJ try to make a house without a door, which is tough for it, so in some images it'll try to COVER the door with something, and that something will be a human that looks a lot like Doctor House. Because that's still "house"

You must be reading my mind, Adam! I was just playing with this yesterday. There are some funny tricks with negative weighting. I'll try a few of your examples!

In my experience, Midjourney NEVER pays attention to negative prompts. If you put "--no text", MidJourney will add text 95% of the time. (More often than if you don't add the negative prompt.) If you add "--no deformed fingers", MidJourney will almost always give you deformed fingers. If you want to use Midjourney images, it has been my experience that you have to generate at least 10 images to get one that is usable. And MidJourney's refusal to follow negative prompts is one of the main reasons.

@MakingPhoto 10 ай бұрын

Yes. I've had this experience, too. Did you see my suggestion about using BOTH a negative and positive prompt? Also, I have a new video on weighting (multi-prompts)

@@MakingPhoto I'll look at the weighting video. Using negative weights didn't help, but I haven't tried BOTH yet. Thanks.

Have you had any success controlling limbs through negative prompts. Like if it's a shot of a model in a studio with her arm up, use negative prompts to move her arm down. Or if in image comes back with a person holding flowers, (or something), use negative prompts to say something like, 'nothing in the hands'.

@MakingPhoto Жыл бұрын

You can try negative prompts. Also try adding a positive prompt. --no flowers in hand but also add "empty hands" in the prompt. This doubles up on what you want.

On openartai does it make a difference if you publish the perfect creations so it will give the algorithm a better idea of what you do want to see and what you don't want to see?

@jaade77 3 ай бұрын

It doesn't look at your images this way. The AI doesn't train in the images you create. Though there is some talk about getting the AI to do this for more personalized styles.

See my video on the version 5 update. Everything is so much more real!! Make sure you're asking Midjourney for a photo. You can use photographic terms and equipment - like Nikon.

Yes. This video is using the current version 4c. Image weights (--iw) don't work in version 4. Maybe that's what you are thinking of. Multiprompts (::) work.

Are Midjourney images traceable, i.e. could someone find an image you made on the Midjourney platform just by searching? Is it easy to find? Note: I know that the images are not private (unless the user subscribes to a certain plan)

@MakingPhoto Жыл бұрын

Your images are public on Midjourney. Their search function isn't that great, so it's difficult to find images that way. Openness is part of the culture of Midjourney. Sharing images and image prompts.

V5 working strange for me, --no not working sometimes and even works in oposite way.

@MakingPhoto Жыл бұрын

This is normal. Sometime the AI simply ignores the --no parameters. *Sigh*. The best way I've found to combat this is in the video. Use BOTH a negative prompt AND flip the idea over and phrase it in a positive way in the prompt itself. So, if you don't want text in the corner of your image, write "unsigned masterpiece" in the prompt and --no text, signature, words in the negative prompt.

Yes. These are common on Stable Diffusion. On Midjourney, you don't need so many negative prompts. Mostly the MJ style takes care of the worst of the distortions.
