Maximizing Midjourney’s /describe command for even better prompts
Reverse engineer text prompts from images—then enhance!
The latest V5 update from the Midjourney developers is the /describe command. I’m going to walk you through how to use it to extract a text prompt from any uploaded image. And then I’m going to tell you how to enhance the prompt you extracted from the image for even better results!
How many times do you look at an AI image and say “I wonder how they did that?” Or maybe you have an image you’d like to reference or mimic, perhaps in a style you’re unfamiliar with? You know exactly what you want, how it looks, but not how to express it? Now Midjourney can help with that.
Of course, being able to reverse engineer a text prompt for AI images isn’t new: previously I would recommend Lexica (the Stable Diffusion Search Engine) or the CLIP Interrogator on Huggingface. However, it’s nice to have one in-house at Midjourney, accessible in your Discord chat.
I’ll publish a performance comparison of these platforms soon, but my initial impression is that the Midjourney V5 /describe command rocks!
