How to Use Midjourney V8

  1. Write a prompt: V8 follows prompts more closely than V7 — be precise about composition, lighting, and style.

  2. Add a reference image (optional): Provide a to guide style or subject.

  3. Tune the parameters:

    • (0–1000): higher = more artistic interpretation
    • (0–100): higher = more variation between the 4 images
    • (0–3000): higher = more unconventional aesthetics
    • : exclude unwanted elements
    • : fix for reproducible results
  4. Pick an aspect ratio: , , , , , or .

  5. Poll for results: Each run returns 4 image URLs once complete (typically 30–90 seconds).
