Midjourney Ai Art is a platform that generates visual content using artificial intelligence. Seed is an important parameter in Midjourney that is used to generate a field of visual noise that serves as a starting point for creating images or sets of four-quadrant images.

When the Seed parameter is used, the generations of an image or set of images are started. This means that the Seed determines where to begin when creating an image. The Seed generates a field of visual noise similar to static on a television.

By default, Seed will not be added to any Midjourney prompt. If no seed is specified in the prompt, an image or quadrant set will be generated randomly. However, if you want more control over the generated content, you can use the Seed parameter to specify a specific starting point.

The Seed parameter can be helpful in a number of situations. For example, it can be used to generate multiple variations of a single image by beginning with different Seeds. It can also be used to generate images with a specific style or aesthetic by using Seed to generate a specific type of visual noise.

How to Midjourney Ai Art

To use the Seed parameter in Midjourney, determine the Seed number of your previously created image first. Here are the steps to determining your image’s Seed number:

Hover your mouse over the image you created in Midjourney.

1. Hover your mouse over the “three horizontal dots” in the upper right corner of the image.

2. Click the “Add Reaction” button and locate and select the envelope icon.

3. Midjourney Discord will send you a direct message with your Seed value.

4. Copy the Seed value and paste it into your prompt with the parameter “—seed”.

Keep in mind that you can only copy the Seed value of your own jobs. You can’t see the Seed value of other Midjourney users’ jobs unless they share it with you.

If you want to know the Seed value of jobs created by other Midjourney users, you can politely ask them to share it with you.

Tips for Using Effective Seeds to Gain Control Over Midjourney

Keep the Seed, Modify the Rest

Small variations in the seed number can cause significant variations in the initial random noise, resulting in vastly different images. To ensure consistency in image generation, the seed should be fixed, allowing for experimentation with other parameters and prompt variations while keeping everything else constant.

For example, you could try out a Midjourney prompt and conduct two experiments:

1. Generate the image as usual, with the seed set to random.
2. Fix the seed number by adding “—seed 101” at the end of the prompt.

Do you see the difference?

Once the seed is set, you can make minor changes to the prompt to experiment with new ideas while keeping the overall composition intact. You increase your chances of creating a high-quality image by finding a seed that works well for a specific prompt and then fine-tuning it.

For example:

“Original image created with prompt: “red riding hood embracing a angry and fearless wolf, forest in the background, cinematic, dramatic, National Geographic, Canon DSLR, sharp details –seed 549071790“

Then we keep the seed and add the words “Smilling”:

“smiling red riding hood embracing a angry and fearless wolf, forest in the background, cinematic, dramatic, National Geographic, Canon DSLR, sharp details –seed 549071790“

The seed introduces variability in the prompt, resulting in different images. Using the same seed and prompt (with all other parameters constant) generates identical images. In Midjourney, each of the four generated images uses a different “slice” of the seed to provide variety, even when the seed is fixed.

 Use “–seed” Parameter with Other Parameters

When combined with other parameters, the “-seed” parameter can produce unexpected results. The “-seed” parameter can be combined with other Midjourney parameters as needed by users, include:

• -stylize
• Aspect Ratio
• Subject Swap

When combining the -seed parameter with other parameters, there are many possibilities and impossibilities. To find out, please conduct your own experiment based on your needs.

Conclusion

Of course, the techniques mentioned above require practice and experimentation to produce the best possible results. It may take time to become familiar with the various parameters and understand how they interact with each other.

However, with persistence and a willingness to learn, users can master these techniques and create stunning images that are both unique and personalized. By leveraging the power of the “–seed” parameter and other Midjourney parameters, users can unlock a world of creative possibilities and take their image-generation skills to new heights.
