Part 2. Tips to Fine-Tune Text in Midjourney with Prompts and Parameters

Congratulations on getting Midjourney to write text in generated images! But do you know there are some advanced tips to make your Midjourney text image more captivating and exact? Here we go.

1. Style values

Tweaking the "stylize" setting can dramatically affect how text appears in your creations. Lower settings tend to generate images with clearer, more readable text that closely matches what you typed. On the other hand, higher values might create a more artistic, stylized look for the text, potentially sacrificing some legibility. Try starting with "--stylize 50" and play around to find the perfect balance for your vision!

2. Style raw

Utilizing the --style raw parameter can help you achieve a more raw or unfiltered interpretation of your prompt. This could be ideal for projects where you need the text to appear clear and unfussy.

Prompt: Travel guide book cover for "Hidden Gems of Europe", with the title in crisp text, overlaid on images of quaint European streets and landmarks –style raw –ar 16:9 –v 6.0

3. Use the right keywords to generate images with text

There are plenty of ways to describe writing. Consider using words like painted, printed, embossed, or even scratched to capture the specific Midjourney style you have in mind.

Of course, you can also describe the position of your text in the image. Moreover, Midjourney can recognize and differentiate between uppercase and lowercase letters. This means that how you write the words within quotation marks can directly affect the final result.

4. Keep it short for better results

The shorter the text, the better! Midjourney seems to handle concise messages more precisely when creating your images. It is recommended that there be no more than 5 words on the picture, otherwise it is easy for Midjourney to fail to understand the text and generate wrong text.

Conclusion

So there you have it! With the power of Midjourney v6 and the techniques of text generating explored in this guide, you're now equipped to seamlessly integrate text into your Midjourney artistic creations. From crisp, clear lettering to stylized inscriptions, the possibilities are endless.
