Generating Images Using Midjourney Image Generator

Step 1: Visit the Midjourney web interface.

The first step is to visit the Midjourney website and in the homepage, click on ‘Explore‘.

Step 2: Subscribe to a Midjourney plan.

Before starting to create images using Midjourney, you need to subscribe to one of the plans as per your needs. The Basic Plan costs about $10 per month and the Mega Plan costs $120 per month.

Step 3: Create images using the Imagine bar.

At the top of the website, you will see the ‘Imagine‘ bar. Type a prompt in the bar specifying the kind of image that you want to generate and click on ‘Create‘ option.

Step 4: Make variations.

After the image is generated, you might still feel that there is a need to make any changes to the generated image. All the images that are generated are present on the ‘Create‘ tab.

From those images, click on the image to open the lightbox. Once you have an image you like, you can make new versions with ‘Variations‘.

The lightbox also shows additional tools to help you refine and experiment with your images.

Step 5: Change your settings.

You can use the ‘Settings‘ button to set default parameter for all your prompts.

You can adjust the aspect ratio, stylization, and variety of your images, or adjust your generation speed and stealth.

Step 6: Use images in your prompts.

Midjourney also allows you to draw inspiration from other images.

If you like an image and want the AI to generate a similar image, you can drag and drop the image to the ‘Imagine‘ tab along with the prompt.

Step 7: Save and manage images.

If you’re ready to download your images, or want to filter or organize them, visit the ‘Archive‘ tab.

Wherever you see the ‘Download‘ button, you can click to save an individual image. You can also download your images in bulk by clicking outside the grid and dragging to make a selection.
