Midjourney Prompts
Midjourney reads a prompt as subject, style and parameters. Each block below is in that order and ends with the flags (--ar, --s, --c, --style) so it pastes straight into Discord or the web app.

Midjourney Prompts: questions people ask
What do the flags at the end of each prompt do?
--ar sets the aspect ratio, so --ar 4:5 gives an upright frame. --s is stylize, the amount of its own taste the model adds, which is why Product On Marble sits low at 150 while Fantasy Valley Landscape runs at 600. --c is chaos, the spread between the images in one grid. And --style raw pulls the house look back towards straight photography.
When should I add --style raw and when should I leave it off?
Use it when the subject has to look real: the product, architecture and fashion blocks all carry it, because the default treatment adds a gloss that photography does not have. Leave it off where you want the model's own hand, as Fantasy Valley Landscape and Tarot Card Illustration do, since a painterly finish is the point there. High stylize with raw pulls in two directions at once.
How do I keep one look across a series of images?
Give every prompt the same style reference with --sref and hold stylize at a single value, because changing that number shifts the look as much as the reference does. Write the subject lines in parallel so the wording differs only where the picture does. Reference syntax has changed more than once, so confirm the current form before committing to a long series.
Why does lettering appear when the prompt bans it?
Because signage, labels and watermarks filled the training images, and the model copies the habit. That is what the --no list at the end is for, and it takes several terms separated by commas, as in --no text, watermark, logo. Tilt Shift City View adds signage lettering to its own list for exactly this reason. Set any real type yourself once the picture is done.
