Mastering Midjourney V5 (Part 2): The Stylize Parameter
From adding detail to compositional shifts
Now that Midjourney V5 prioritizes photorealistic images, it’s interesting to take a closer look at the Stylize parameter. How does the tool work with the new model?
Let’s take a look at some examples.
Recap: How to use the Stylize parameter
To use the parameter simply add
--stylize [VALUE FROM 0 TO 1000]to your prompt, or use the abbreviated version
--s [VALUE FROM 0 TO 1000]Stylize effects in detail
We will examine the Stylize effect with a constant prompt and a constant Seed value. With the arbitrary Seed value of “1000”, the noise pattern from which our image is created remains the same as we change the Stylize value to observe its behavior.
If you are not familiar with using the Seed command, see this tutorial.
As in Midjourney V4, “100” is the default Stylize value in V5 if you do not explicitly use the parameter in your prompt. The range (0–1000) has also remained the same.
