How to Use Negative Prompts on MidJourney Alpha?

MidJourney offers a fantastic platform for creating images based on prompts. This guide will help you understand how to use negative prompts effectively to refine your output on MidJourney. Negative prompts allow you to specify what you do not want to see in the generated image, leading to more customised and desired results.

How to Use Negative Prompts on MidJourney?

To start using negative prompts on MidJourney, follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Open MidJourney Alpha

Begin by navigating to alpha.midjourney.com and logging into your account. Once logged in, you will find the prompt box ready for your input.

Step 2: Input Your Prompt

Think of a prompt that describes what you want to create. For example, if I want to generate a photo of a white nurse, I would enter something like:

  • A photo of a white nurse face and shoulders.

Step 3: Add Negative Prompts

To refine your image further, you can add a negative prompt by specifying what should be excluded. For instance, if I want to ensure the nurse has no makeup or extended eyelashes, I would formulate my prompt as follows:

  • A photo of a white nurse face and shoulders taken in front of a hospital, no makeup, no extended eyelashes.

Step 4: Submit Your Prompt

Once your prompt is complete, simply click on the enter key. This will initiate the image creation process, where Mid Journey will generate results based on your specifications.

Step 5: Review Your Image

After the image has been created, click on it to view the result. You should see an image that adheres to your original request, minus the elements you wished to exclude (makeup and extended eyelashes, in this case).

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can effectively use negative prompts in MidJourney to customize your image creations.
