Midjourney modifiers – AI-Generated Art

Midjourney modifiers are keywords or phrases that can be added to prompts to influence the style, content, and other aspects of the generated images. Here is a comprehensive list of various types of modifiers that can be used in Midjourney prompts:

General Modifiers

General Modifiers, or Gen Mods, are keywords that can change the results of prompts without referencing a specific artistic technique, genre, or artist’s name. These include:

– Colors and Color Schemes: e.g., “monochromatic tones,” “vibrant colors”

– Weather Patterns and Time of Day: e.g., “sunset,” “rainy”

– Lighting Conditions: e.g., “volumetric lighting,” “dramatic lighting”

– Textures or Materials: e.g., “metallic,” “wooden”

– Compositional Rules: e.g., “rule of thirds”

– Atmosphere and Mood: e.g., “joyful mood,” “mysterious atmosphere”[3].

Style Modifiers

Style modifiers can be used to specify the artistic style or technique:

– Art Styles: e.g., “Art Nouveau,” “Film noir,” “Manga,” “Anime,” “Pixar,” “Pop art,” “Surrealism,” “Minimalism”

– Historical Periods: e.g., “Victorian Age,” “Ancient Egypt,” “Ancient Greek,” “Mayan”

– Photography Techniques: e.g., “black and white,” “sepia,” “HDR”

– Miscellaneous Styles: e.g., “Shabby,” “Tarnished,” “Ramshackle Tattered,” “Post Apocalyptic”[18].

Specific Modifiers

These modifiers can be used to fine-tune the image generation process:

– Aspect Ratio: e.g., “–ar 16:9”

– Chaos: e.g., “–chaos 50” (controls the level of randomness)

– Quality: e.g., “–quality 2” (controls the quality of the image)

– Seed: e.g., “–seed 123456” (sets the initial randomness)

– Stop: e.g., “–stop 50” (stops the generation process at a certain point)

– Stylize: e.g., “–stylize 1000” (controls how strongly the default aesthetic style is applied)

– Tile: e.g., “–tile” (creates seamless patterns)

– Turbo: e.g., “–turbo” (runs the job in Turbo Mode)

– Video: e.g., “–video” (saves a progress video of the image generation)

– Weird: e.g., “–weird 1000” (explores unusual aesthetics) [16].

Negative Modifiers

Negative modifiers specify what should not be included in the image:

– Negative Prompts: e.g., “–no hands,” “–no text”[2][6].

Example Prompts

Here are some example prompts using various modifiers:

– Simple Prompt: “A dog.” a dog –style raw

– Descriptive Prompt: “A dog chasing a frisbee while running in a field. Realistic. Wide angle shot.”

A dog chasing a frisbee while running in a field. Realistic. Wide angle shot
–style raw

– Complex Prompt: “Professional oil painting of establishing shot of canal surrounded by verdant blue modern curved rustic Greek tiled buildings, professional majestic oil painting by Ed Blinkey, Atey Ghailan, Studio Ghibli, by Jeremy Mann, Greg Manchess, Antonio Moro, volumetric lighting, dramatic lighting, dawn, water, canoes, refraction –no amateur, poorly drawn, ugly, flat

By using these modifiers, you can create highly specific and detailed prompts that guide Midjourney to generate images that closely match your vision.
