Master Midjourney’s /Describe Tool for generative AI art and design.
Unlock Midjourney’s creative potential with the /Describe Tool.
Step into a realm of limitless creativity with Midjourney’s innovative /Describe feature. This game-changing tool redefines how we harness inspiration, offering a streamlined approach to prompt generation.
Midjourney’s new Describe prompt will speed up your workflow, teach you better prompting techniques, and require fewer fast hours.
Here’s how:
The revolutionary /Describe function in Midjourney has transformed how we approach creative prompting, making the process more efficient and teaching us superior prompting skills without requiring extensive time investment.
Let’s dive into the essentials of this feature and its advantages for your workflow.
What exactly does /Describe accomplish?
The /Describe command revolutionizes the way we use images as inspirations. Unlike the /imagine command, which simply generates images from your prompts, /Describe goes a step further by creating detailed prompts from your chosen image. It’s a game-changer, offering not only a base prompt but also additional modifications, streamlining the creative process.
/Describe takes a photo and uses it as a base reference. I know what you’re thinking, “I could do that already with /imagine, Dave!” True, but Midjourney didn’t write the prompt for you, did it? That’s what /describe does. It writes four prompts for you, based on the image provided. You can use them as is, or add your own mods.
How to effectively utilize /describe?
Step One
Select an image that inspires you. This image was generated on Adobe Firefly.
Step Two
Enter the /describe command into Midjourney.
This action prompts you to upload an image, which can be easily added through drag-and-drop.
The process is seamless, with the image URL automatically incorporated into the prompt, eliminating the need for manual copying and pasting.
Step Three
Upon pressing Enter, Midjourney works its magic, presenting you with four distinct prompts that describe various aspects of the image, such as the environment, lighting, style, and color palette.
Step Four (final step)
Choose one of the generated prompts to proceed. Each option offers a unique perspective on the image, varying from detailed portraits to fantastical interpretations.
Let’s see what the first button [1] does:

The /Describe feature not only speeds up the creative process but also enhances our understanding of how Midjourney interprets and processes images into text.
This insight can guide how we approach future projects, encouraging us to experiment with various textual descriptions to achieve our desired outcomes.
