A [subject] in [environment], [art style], [lighting], [mood] --ar [ratio] --v 6
A [subject] in [environment], [art style], [lighting], [mood] --ar [ratio] --v 6
Essential Midjourney Parameters
| Parameter | Function | Example |
|---|---|---|
| --ar | Aspect Ratio | --ar 16:9 (widescreen) |
| --v 6 | Model version | --v 6 (most recent) |
| --stylize | Level of artistic stylization | --stylize 750 |
| --chaos | Variation between results | --chaos 30 |
| --No | Negative prompt (what to exclude) | --no text, watermark |
10 Artistic Styles with the Greatest Impact
