Takeaways

  • 🔄 In Midjourney V6, you can add 'sref space random' to your prompt to get a random style applied to your image.
  • 🔧 The 'tune' function from version 5 still works, but you need to specify 'd-v space 6' or ensure V6 is selected in settings for the new features.
  • 🔑 A style reference code is provided next to your prompt, which can be copied and used for consistency across images.
  • 📷 If using the website, you need to copy the job ID and use the 'slash show' command in Discord to retrieve the style code.
  • 🎨 You can share and use the style codes with others, and even input random numbers to generate different styles.
  • 📈 The video demonstrates cycling through numbers to explore various styles available in Midjourney V6.
  • 🛠️ A nifty trick is introduced where you can upscale and vary the style reference in specific areas of an image using the lasso tool and 'remix mode'.
  • ❌ You cannot use more than one style code at a time, and using 'SV' or a URL with a number will result in an error.
  • 🔢 Experimenting with random numbers after 'D-' can yield unique style results, encouraging exploration of the style options.
  • 🔄 The 'D-repeat' function allows you to try multiple styles at once by entering a number, as demonstrated with repeating 10 for 10 different styles.
  • 🔗 You can still use image URLs with the 'SV' parameter to create variations of a style, offering further control over the image outcome.

🛡️ Using Style Codes and Remix Mode for Creative Image Manipulation

The second paragraph delves into advanced techniques for manipulating images using Mid Journey's style codes and 'remix mode'. It explains how to upscale a specific style number and use the 'vary region' feature to alter styles in particular areas of an image, such as changing the style of the eyes. The speaker also discusses limitations, such as the inability to use more than one code simultaneously or mix style versions with URLs. The paragraph concludes with a demonstration of generating multiple style variations by entering a prompt, adding 'D-SV' followed by a set of numbers, and using permutations to create four distinct style variations from a single image. The video ends with an invitation for viewers to experiment with the new features and share their findings.
