What is the difference between 'Midjourney Test' and 'Midjourney Test Photo'?

How does the 'Style' setting in Midjourney affect the output?
-The 'Style' setting in Midjourney determines how closely the output sticks to the prompt and the level of artistic creativity. Lower values result in closer adherence to the prompt with less variation, while higher values allow for more creative and varied outputs.
What is the significance of the 'Quality' setting in Midjourney?
-The 'Quality' setting influences the quality of the image, the render time, and the GPU cost. Higher quality settings provide more details but take longer and cost more, while lower quality settings offer faster results at a lower cost.
Why is the 'High Quality' setting not recommended with 'MJ Test' or 'MJ Test Photo'?
-The 'High Quality' setting is not compatible with 'MJ Test' or 'MJ Test Photo' because it can lead to increased render times and costs. It is advised to use 'High Quality' with version 3 or below.
What are the benefits of the 'Relax Mode' in Midjourney?

What is the role of 'Public Mode' and 'Private Mode' in Midjourney?
-In Midjourney, 'Public Mode' allows creations to be visible on the user's profile, while 'Private Mode' keeps them hidden. Private Mode requires an additional subscription cost even with the $30 plan.
How can users create variations in their prompts using 'Pre-suffix' in Midjourney?
-Users can utilize 'Pre-suffix' to automatically add specific commands or settings to the end of every prompt they enter, allowing for easy generation of multiple variations. However, care must be taken not to conflict with prompt commands already in use.
