Paint with words. Our master guide covers everything from v6 parameters to style references, ensuring your generative art stands out in a crowded digital world.

Visual Language: The Power of Midjourney v6

Midjourney v6 marks a departure from "vibes" toward "intention." In previous versions, users often relied on "word salads"—strings of adjectives like '8k, hyperrealistic, octane render'—to get good results. V6, however, understands natural language and composition. This means your Midjourney prompts need to be structured, coherent, and descriptive.

To master image generation, you must think like both a photographer and a director. You are defining the subject, the camera angle, the lens type, the lighting conditions, and the artistic medium. Our guide systematically deconstructs these elements to give you total control over the canvas.

The Style Reference Engine

Aesthetics on Demand

The `--sref` parameter is perhaps the most powerful tool in the v6 arsenal. It allows you to "copy" the aesthetic of an existing image and apply it to any new prompt.

Mastering --sref:

"A futuristic skyline, neon lights --sref [URL] --sw 1000"

Tip: Use `--sw` (Style Weight) to control the intensity of the reference. 1000 is maximum influence, while 50 is a subtle hint.

Consistent Characters (--cref)

Maintaining character identity across multiple scenes has historically been the "Holy Grail" of AI art. `--cref` solves this by mapping facial features and clothing from a reference image.

Character Consistency Workflow:

  1. Generate your Base: Create an image of your character against a simple background.
  2. Extract the URL: Copy the link to that generated image.
  3. The Follow-up Prompt: "[Your character] running through a forest --cref [URL] --cw 100"
  4. Adjusting Weight: Use `--cw 0` to only keep the face, allowing you to change clothing and hair.

Post-Generation Control

Don't settle for the first result. Midjourney's interactive tools allow you to expand and shift your canvas with surgical precision.

Vary (Region)

The 'Inpainting' tool. Select an area of your image and re-prompt it. "Change her hat to a crown" or "Remove the coffee cup."

Zoom Out (2x)

Expands the canvas while keeping the center consistent. Excellent for turning a portrait into a cinematic wide shot.
