Takeaways
- 😀 Generating text in Midjourney V6 is simple; just put words in quotation marks within the image prompt.
- 📘 Midjourney V6 can interpret complex prompts, like 'a painting split into two with text in different colors on each side'.
- 🔧 Adjusting the 'styliz' value and 'style raw' parameter can help fine-tune the text generation, but experimentation is key.
- 🎨 Lower 'styliz' values can produce interesting results, but there's no guarantee; the outcome can be hit or miss.
- 🤖 False positives are common, so don't get frustrated; refining the prompt and trying again is part of the process.
- 🔡 Capital letters and symbols within quotation marks are treated literally by Midjourney, affecting the generated text.
- 🏷 Prompting for common objects with text, like license plates or tattoos, increases the likelihood of accurate text placement.
- 🖌 Control over specific fonts is limited; Midjourney understands general categories but not exact font names.
- 🎭 Handwritten and script fonts are well-understood by Midjourney, offering better control over text style.
- 📝 Short words or phrases are more likely to be generated accurately, but longer texts like song lyrics can be challenging.
- 🔄 Using the variation feature, especially 'strong variations,' can significantly improve the accuracy of text generation.
Q & A
What is the basic method for generating text inside an image using Midjourney V6?
-The basic method involves putting the words you want to generate in quotation marks within the image prompt.
Can the text generation feature in Midjourney V6 be more elaborate than simply using quotation marks?
-Yes, you can get more elaborate by adding detailed descriptions and directions to your text generation prompts, such as specifying colors and positions.
What is the default stylize value in Midjourney V6 and how can it be adjusted?
-The default stylize value is 100. It can be adjusted by using the 'D-' prefix followed by the desired value to test different stylization effects.
How does Midjourney V6 handle false positives or imperfect text generation results?
-It's acknowledged that Midjourney V6 may not always generate perfect results, and users are advised to experiment with different parameters and not get too frustrated.
What are the two main parameters suggested for experimentation when generating text with Midjourney V6?
-The two main parameters for experimentation are the 'stylize' value and the 'style' parameter, which can be adjusted to explore different text generation outcomes.
What is the purpose of using the 'permutations' feature when generating text in Midjourney V6?
-The 'permutations' feature allows users to test a single prompt with multiple parameter variations, such as different stylize values, within one go, saving time and effort.
How does capitalization affect text generation in Midjourney V6?
-Capital letters make a difference in Midjourney V6. If the text within the quotation marks is capitalized, the generated text will also be in uppercase.
What types of objects or scenarios are more likely to yield successful text generation when using Midjourney V6?
-Objects or scenarios that commonly have text written on them, such as license plates, Post-It notes, tattoos, welcome mats, or door signs, are more likely to yield successful text generation.
How much control does Midjourney V6 offer over the specific type of font generated in the text?
-Midjourney V6 does not offer precise control over specific real fonts. However, it can understand general categories of fonts, such as 'handwritten' or 'script', to some extent.
What is the recommended approach when generating longer text or song lyrics with Midjourney V6?
-For longer text or song lyrics, it's recommended to keep the words short and simple, and to be aware that Midjourney V6 may not handle complex or run-on sentences well.
What additional tips are provided for refining text generation results in Midjourney V6?
-Additional tips include using the variation button for strong variations, adjusting parameters like stylize value, using the remix feature to add or change text, and being patient with the trial-and-error process.
What feature mentioned in the script is currently unavailable but could potentially enhance text generation in Midjourney V6?
-The 'in painting' feature is mentioned as potentially enhancing text generation, but it is currently unavailable and may be released in the future.

📝 Basics of Text Generation in Mid Journey
This paragraph introduces the process of generating text within an image using Mid Journey, a version 6 AI tool. The speaker, Nolan, explains that creating text is straightforward, requiring only quotation marks around the desired words. He demonstrates this with examples, such as generating an image of Tony the Tiger on a business card. The paragraph emphasizes the power of Mid Journey's text generation capabilities and encourages experimentation with stylization values and style parameters to achieve desired results, while acknowledging that the process may not always be perfect and requires some trial and error.
🔧 Experimenting with Stylization and Parameters
Nolan discusses the importance of experimentation when generating text with Mid Journey. He suggests playing with the 'styliz' value and the 'style raw' parameter to achieve different visual effects. The speaker uses the example of a neon sign with the text 'future Tech pilot' to illustrate how varying these parameters can lead to different outcomes. He also mentions the use of the 'permutations' feature to generate multiple variations of a prompt, emphasizing the lack of a one-size-fits-all formula and the need for users to explore and find what works best for their specific needs.
🎨 Tips for Generating Text with Mid Journey
In this paragraph, Nolan provides several tips for effectively using Mid Journey's text generation feature. He advises using capital letters and symbols as they will appear exactly as inputted in the quotation marks. The speaker also suggests prompting for objects that commonly have text, such as license plates or Post-It notes, to increase the likelihood of success. Additionally, he touches on the limitations regarding font control, noting that while specific font types cannot be specified, using terms like 'handwritten' or 'script font' can influence the style of the generated text. Nolan also shares his experience with generating song lyrics and the challenges of handling long sentences.
🔄 Advanced Techniques for Refining Results
The final paragraph focuses on advanced techniques to refine and improve the results of text generation in Mid Journey. Nolan discusses the use of the 'variation' button, particularly 'strong variations,' to iteratively improve the generated images. He also mentions the 'remix' feature, which allows users to adjust the prompt with each variation for potentially better results. The speaker provides examples of how adjusting parameters like the 'styliz' value during remixes can lead to closer matches to the desired outcome. The paragraph concludes with a mention of the potential future availability of the 'in painting' feature, which could further enhance the text generation capabilities of Mid Journey.
