How to Use Negative Prompts on MidJourney Alpha?
MidJourney offers a fantastic platform for creating images based on prompts. This guide will help you understand how to use negative prompts effectively to refine your output on MidJourney. Negative prompts allow you to specify what you do not want to see in the generated image, leading to more customized and desired results.
Getting Started with Negative Prompts
To start using negative prompts on MidJourney, follow these simple steps:
- Begin by navigating to alpha.midjourney.com and logging into your account. Once logged in, you will find the prompt box ready for your input.
- Think of a prompt that describes what you want to create. For example, if I want to generate a photo of a white nurse, I would enter something like:
"Create an image of a white nurse without makeup and extended eyelashes."
To refine your image further, you can add a negative prompt by specifying what should be excluded. For instance, if I want to ensure the nurse has no makeup or extended eyelashes, I would formulate my prompt as follows:
"Create an image of a white nurse without makeup and extended eyelashes."
Once your prompt is complete, simply click on the enter key. This will initiate the image creation process, where MidJourney will generate results based on your specifications.
Viewing the Results
After the image has been created, click on it to view the result. You should see an image that adheres to your original request, minus the elements you wished to exclude (makeup and extended eyelashes, in this case).

Conclusion
By following these steps, you can effectively use negative prompts in MidJourney to customize your image creations. The clarity of what you want to add versus what you want to remove is key to achieving satisfactory results.
