Thanks for sharing your feedback!
Permutation Prompts allow you to quickly generate variations of a Prompt with a single /imagine command. By including lists of options separated with commas , within curly braces {} in your prompt, you can create multiple versions of a prompt with different combinations of those options.
Basic Subscribers can create a maximum of 4 Jobs with a single Permutation Prompt.
Standard Subscribers can create a maximum of 10 Jobs with a single Permutation Prompt.
Pro and Mega Subscribers can create a maximum of 40 Jobs with a single Permutation Prompt.
You can use Permutation Prompts to create combinations and permutations involving any part of a Midjourney Prompt, including text, image prompts, parameters, or prompt weights.
Permutation prompts are only available while using Fast mode.
Permutation Prompt Basics
Separate your list of options within curly brackets {} to quickly create and process multiple prompt variations.
Prompt Example:
/imagine prompt a {red, green, yellow} bird creates and processes three Jobs.
/imagine prompt a red bird
/imagine prompt a green bird
/imagine prompt a yellow bird
GPU Minutes
The Midjourney Bot processes each Permutation Prompt variation as an individual Job. Each Job consumes GPU minutes.
Permutation Prompts will show a confirmation message before they begin processing.
Permutation Prompt Examples
Prompt Text Variations
The prompt /imagine prompt a naturalist illustration of a {pineapple, blueberry, rambutan, banana} bird will create and process four Jobs:
a naturalist illustration of a pineapple bird
a naturalist illustration of a blueberry bird
a naturalist illustration of a rambutan bird
a naturalist illustration of a banana bird
Prompt Parameter Variations
The prompt /imagine prompt a naturalist illustration of a fruit salad bird --ar {3:2, 1:1, 2:3, 1:2} will create and process four Jobs with different aspect ratios:
a naturalist illustration of a fruit salad bird --ar 3:2
a naturalist illustration of a fruit salad bird --ar 1:1
a naturalist illustration of a fruit salad bird --ar 2:3
a naturalist illustration of a fruit salad bird --ar 1:2
The prompt /imagine prompt a naturalist illustration of a fruit salad bird --{v 5, niji, test} will create and process three Jobs using different Midjourney Model Versions:
a naturalist illustration of a fruit salad bird --v 5
a naturalist illustration of a fruit salad bird --niji
a naturalist illustration of a fruit salad bird --test
Multiple and Nested Permutations
It is possible to use multiple sets of bracketed options in a single prompt.
/imagine prompt a {red, green} bird in the {jungle, desert} creates and processes four Jobs.
/imagine prompt a red bird in the jungle
/imagine prompt a red bird in the desert
/imagine prompt a green bird in the jungle
/imagine prompt a green bird in the desert
It is also possible to nest sets of bracketed options inside other sets of brackets within a single prompt:
Example: /imagine prompt A {sculpture, painting} of a {seagull {on a pier, on a beach}, poodle {on a sofa, in a truck}}.
/imagine prompt A sculpture of a seagull on a pier.
/imagine prompt A sculpture of a seagull on a beach.
/imagine prompt A sculpture of a poodle on a sofa.
/imagine prompt A sculpture of a poodle in a truck.
/imagine prompt A painting of a seagull on a pier.
/imagine prompt A painting of a seagull on a beach.
/imagine prompt A painting of a poodle on a sofa.
/imagine prompt A painting of a poodle in a truck.
Escape Character
If you want to include a , within the curly brackets that does not act as a separator place a backslash \ directly before it.
imagine prompt {red, pastel, yellow} bird produces three Jobs
/imagine prompt a red bird
/imagine prompt a pastel bird
/imagine prompt a yellow bird
imagine prompt {red, pastel \, yellow} bird produces two Jobs
/imagine prompt a red bird
/imagine prompt a pastel, yellow bird
