What is the aspect ratio parameter used for in the prompts?
-The aspect ratio parameter is used to change the height and width of the image to suit the creator's requirements, and it can influence the look of the images to some extent.
Why does the speaker always set the seed to 777?
-The speaker sets the seed to 777 as a matter of preference to allow for easier comparison of images, as the same seed will generate the same or very similar images.
What does the speaker mean by 'raw style' in the context of Midjourney v6?
-In the context of Midjourney v6, 'raw style' refers to a default or base style that is applied when no other specific style is mentioned in the prompt.
How does the 'batique' style affect the images of knights and rabbits according to the transcript?
