Thanks for sharing your feedback!
Parameters are options added to a prompt that change how an image generates. Parameters can change an image's Aspect Ratios, switch between Midjourney Model Versions, change which Upscaler is used, and lots more.
The parameters on this page only work with legacy Midjourney Model Versions. For information on parameters that work with the latests Midjourney Model Versions read more here.
Legacy Model Version Parameters
Midjourney routinely releases new model versions to improve efficiency, coherency, and quality. Different models excel at different types of images.
Niji
--niji 4 An alternative model focused on anime style images.
High Definition
--hd Use an early alternative Model that produces larger, less consistent images. This algorithm may be suitable for abstract and landscape images.
Test
--test Use the Midjourney special test model.
Testp
--testp Use the Midjourney special photography-focused test model.
Version
--version <1, 2, 3, 4, or 5> or --v <1, 2, 3, 4, or 5> Use a different version of the Midjourney algorithm. The current algorithm is the default setting.
Legacy Upscaler Parameters
Midjourney starts by generating a grid of low-resolution image options for each Job. You can use a Midjourney upscaler on any grid image to increase the size and add additional details. There are multiple upscale models available for upscaling an image.
Uplight
--uplight Use an alternative "light" upscaler when selecting the U buttons. The results are closer to the original grid image. The upscaled image is less detailed and smoother.
Upbeta
--upbeta Use an alternative beta upscaler when selecting the U buttons. The results are closer to the original grid image. The upscaled image has significantly fewer added details.
Legacy Parameters
These parameters only work with specific earlier Midjourney Models
Creative
--creative Modify the test and testp models to be more varied and creative.
Sameseed
--sameseed Seed values create a single large random noise field applied across all images in the initial grid. When --sameseed is specified, all images in the initial grid use the same starting noise and will produce very similar generated images.
Video
--video Saves a progress video of the initial image grid being generated. Emoji react to the completed image grid with ✉️ to trigger the video being sent to your direct messages. --video does not work when upscaling an image.
