Last week, I mentioned that I'll be sharing how to use the /tune command in Midjourney to create AI-generated images that fit a style, consistently. In today's edition of The Spark, all image components with a purple vectorised style, are created with Midjourney and their new /tune command. Let's dive into how you can replicate it for your brand.

How to use /tune in Midjourney

Prerequisite: you need a paying Midjourney account 

Step 1: Enter the "/tune" command

Enter "/tune" with a prompt in the Midjourney discord under the "General Image Get" room

Step 2: Pick your style directions & style mode 

Style directions are the number of image pairs Midjourney will generate in order to help you create your style. Style mode is the amount of beautification you would like Midjourney to help you with. I find that "32 Style Directions" and "Default" style mode works well, but feel free to experiment. 

Step 3: Submit your request

Note: you will use your fast GPU time when generating these images (they're not credit-free).

Step 4: Open your custom style tuner

Here, you will be given the choice to select a preferred image from a number of image pairs. I recommend to experiment a bit here, as I first started by picking a preferred option for all 32 image pairs. For the 2nd iteration, I focused on 5 styles (staying neutral for the other 27 image pairs) that resonated the most with me, and the results were much more aligned with what I wanted.

Step 5: Copy your code and enjoy creating

Copy your code and add it to your future prompts with the "-- style [insert code]" parameter.
