Midjourney parameters

1. Stylize

• Heightened Detail and Variation: For a more intricate and visually interesting outcome, consider increasing the --s value. Experiment with values like --s 500 or even --s 900. This can lead to richer details, more dynamic compositions, and a more unique artistic interpretation.
• Subtle Nuance and Minimalism: Conversely, lowering the --s value can lead to a more minimalist and stylized approach. Values like --s 90 or even --s 20 might be ideal if you're aiming for a simpler aesthetic or if you want to minimize the presence of human figures in the generated image.

2. Style

If you’re using Niji 5, it offers exclusive style parameters that you can include in your Midjourney Niji prompts to add a unique twist to your creations:

• --style scenic: Creates a more cinematic look with emphasis on detailed backdrops. Ideal for showcasing landscapes or establishing vast environments.
• --style cute: Exaggerates features on characters and animals, infusing them with an adorable and whimsical aesthetic. Perfect for creating chibi-style characters or depicting heartwarming scenes.
• --style expressive: Aims for a sophisticated illustrated feel. Think storybooks or classic anime with a focus on emotional impact and detailed linework.

Note that Niji Version 6 only supports the default or style raw setting.

3. Quality tags

For the best quality, in the Midjourney niji prompts, also include words like masterpiece, high quality, best quality. You can also emphysize on the details using finest detailed, hyper detailed, as well as lighting like cinematic lightning, backlit, golden hour light, etc.

4. Aspect ratio

Niji mode's default aspect ratio is typically square (1:1). This works well for portraits, close-ups, or scenes with balanced focus. You can specify a custom aspect ratio by adding the --ar parameter in the Midjourney Niji 5/6 prompts (e.g., --ar 16:9 for widescreen, --ar 3:2 for portrait-oriented).
