    Changing Parameters with Remix

    You can add or remove Parameters while using Remix mode, but you must use valid parameter combinations. Changing /imagine prompt illustrated stack of pumpkins --version 3 --stylize 10000 to illustrated stack of pumpkins --version 4 --stylize 10000 will return an error because Midjourney Model Version 4 is incompatible with Stylize values over 1000.

    Only parameters that normally influence variations will work while using Remix:

    Changing aspect ratios with Remix will stretch an image. It will not extend the canvas, add missing details, or fix a bad crop. To adjust aspect ratios or fix cropping issues, try Zoom or Pan instead.



    Variation Modes and Remix

    In Midjourney Versions 5 and 6 and Niji Versions 5 and 6, you can choose between 🎨 High Variation Mode (the default) and 🎨 Low Variation Mode. This setting applies to Remixing variations as well, which means you'll see stronger changes with High Variation Mode and subtler changes with Low Variation Mode. You may have trouble changing the subject or composition of your image with Remix if you have Low Variation Mode enabled, for example, but it can be useful for changing details.
