Artificial intelligence can be a bit of a "Wild West," but there are certain rules. After joining the service, it's important to quickly familiarize yourself with the rules and conditions set for the community. After all, you wouldn't want to face a ban, would you? It's also worth noting that Midjourney provides the opportunity for free usage up to 25 requests. Once you've exhausted the free limit, you'll need to choose one of the available subscriptions to continue using the neural network.
Access the bot channel and bring your creativity to life by creating your first artwork
To create your first artificial creation, you need to access a special bot channel for beginners. On the Midjourney server, select the "Newbies" channel from the sidebar. Then enter the command "/imagine" in the message field along with your creative idea and press "Enter" to submit your prompt. The bot will take some time to generate four visual representations based on your request. Initially, you may see abstract color patterns, but over time, the images will acquire more specific shapes and details.
The skill of writing prompt requests effectively plays a crucial role in achieving the desired image. Understanding key aspects is essential. These include:
- Artistic style
- Color palette
- Lighting
- Composition
The word order in your command is also important as it affects the result. It's recommended to start your instruction with the priority components and gradually add additional details later.
Using the emulation of different art styles can help you create better prompts and obtain more visually appealing images. For example, try asking Midjourney to create an image "in the style" of one of your favorite artists. Just like an artist keeps a diary of creative concepts, gathering ideas for AI prompts can be helpful for you. Consider jotting down color schemes or emphasizing illustrative text. The world is your playground for creativity.
Refine the details in your image
After receiving four images from artificial intelligence, you have the opportunity to take one step further and enhance the selected image or create additional variations using the buttons located below the images. To enhance an image, use the first row of buttons below the image grid and click on the button U1, U2, U3, or U4 corresponding to the image you want to improve.
Capture your art creations forever
Here is a list of steps to save your artwork on your computer:
- Click on the image to open the preview.
- Click "Open original" to access the full-size image.
- Right-click on the image.
- In the context menu, select "Save image as...".
- Choose the location on your computer where you want to save the image.
- Enter a file name for the image.
- Click "Save" and wait for the saving process to complete.
Now your artwork is saved on your computer and ready to be shared with others.
Additionally, you have the option to get a copy of the image by sending it to yourself through Discord. To do this, find the message from the bot containing your finished image and click on the emoji button to react to that message. Then select the emoji with the envelope icon. Your creation will be saved in the "Disposition" folder.
If there are any imperfections in the AI-generated image, you can always use tools like Photoshop or similar programs to modify the image and fix any errors. This can be an interesting way to add your own personal touch to the AI-generated artwork.
