Why you NEED to use "--seed" in Midjourney...

I think some people here are confused about using --seed and requesting a seed from image that you've created. They seem to be two different things though somewhat related.

whatever. --seed 1236756 ( did you just make that number up or did it come from an image ??? extremely confusing I must say.)

So clear and helpful. Thank you. 🙏🏼xx

I am using the seed and still getting random different images! literally about to toss my laptop out of the window...

Is anyone else having problems getting the seed in v5? It'll say fetching seed number and... nothing

Two points that are critical: 1. You can only use seed values from initial prompt results, not upscales - which to me makes it pretty redundant as it is not taking cues from a singular image, which is what we want. 2. Seed values can of course direct the flow of image creation, but what this video does not mention, is that your base style setting determines ALL results. If you're using 5.1, and you use a seed value, you will get wildly different results if your base style values are set to either low (0.5) base/medium (1) high (1.5) or very high (2). Put simply, seed values only really work in any predictable way, if you have your base style setting fixed at low or base. Any higher and Midjourney will do whatever the hell it wants. I'll be honest, it is the most brilliant and most teeth pulling infuriating bit of software I've ever used, and I've been using the most inane teeth pulling code driven software professionally for over three decades.

i have an image.Great result ,added seed, created another object with the seed,different result, Why????

How many seeds exist per image?

Seed number?? 😢

I would like to WARN everyone that MIDJOURNEY no longer has a trial version. Also if you SUSCRIBE your subscription may never be activated because the subscription section is run by volunteers. The subscription is for 1 YEAR even if it gives you the feeling that it is a monthly subscription - MISLEADING!

And if you - like me - are trying to find out why the software is not working, a few hours you will find thousands of post with people with the same problem online, but no Customer Support because it's only available for MEMBERS!!!! So if your subscription after paying having been actives then you will never be able to let them know about!!!

I just spent a whole working day trying to generate 1 single image . NEVER HAPPENED!

The whole process left me exhausted mentally and anxious. Funny it's mental health week 😂.

So only subscribe if you like like to bet.

so how do you get the seed number, you didn't say

Where do we find this seed number?

Beautifully demonstrated!

I don't get it because the image itself has a seed number but it feels like you guys are just picking random numbers. What's the rhyme or reason?

i don't know if it's just a.i. messing with me, but the majority of the images Midjourney creates have weird random flaws. /imagine a cute happy corgi on a beach with pink sunglasses, tropical drink , palm tree, etc......results: 1. a corgi with no sunglasses. 2. tropical drink's straw is spliced and part of it is floating in the air. 3 tropical drink has oranges, and corgi has an orange oddly melting off it's ear. And after two hours of messing and tweaking with this...I grew tired.
I used Dalle for awhile and gave up, because images constantly were degraded and dumbed down...almost like the a.i. creates one decent image and purposefully creates 3 bad images. It works hard on one, and phones in its performance on the other 3 images, knowing u will most likely select the best composition...if you have a brain in your head.

First time discovering and learning from you! This is great!! I have to give this a try; I have subbed 😀

Yeah but how do you use it? Do you assign a numer to a prompt or to an image or to what?

2 questions:

- How to get the seed number?
- How to upload my own image as starting seed?

best video eVERRRR

where do you get the seed number from?

Fantastic tip. Thankyou!

All these cats are different. (c) Cat Lover

Helo!!! This tip is incredible!! But which is the number of each image??? I can't figura out that!!! Can you help me please??? So i could write --seed (and the number of my image that i don't know where is it!!!!) HELP! Thank you!!!!

I love how you never actually say how to get the seed

How do we know what seed number the image is did I miss something

a 4 minute video that should have been 30 secs

Prompt enginner :D

I didn't understand how to use it

😂 you were funny cos I can totally relate!

great one

in order to make four images completely different, type --chaos 100
or
--c 100

values 1 to 100
mean 1 is for 4 very similar images
100 is for 4 completely different ones

interesting information, i just have one question: if you start a new project, but you use again a seed number that you used before, what happens? thanks!

where does the seed number come from??

How to use seed ?

wait, why do you get a remix prompt when clicking on a variation? i dont get any pompt it just creates more or less 4 times more the same image ;(

Where do you get the seed number from?

Dude! Good video. Walked me through step by step to help me understand the value in doing the seed thing. This was exactly what I needed without having to sort through multiple 10-30 min videos to figure this out haha and didn't even tell me to sub...

Do you know why V5 doesn’t give us the seed number? I’ve tried all the methods and they don’t work anymore :/

better prompt engineer :D

Okay mate you just failed to show how to use thst parameter. But good expalanition about what it is about. Now I need to see how to apply it

where do I get this "number"? --seed??

I'd give my right arm if I could use my own uploaded source image as the seed.

im an engineer now

seed returns as an error...

You explain very thoroughly, very very helpful.

Where do you get the seed number…? Sorry if it’s a dumb question but I didn’t hear how to determine the seed number. Saw an example of 123456 …?

Thank you so much for sharing this.. the seed parameter has changed my whole flow, and has made midjourney an actual usable tool for creating new works.. I do enjoy a bit of random elements in my work, but I do not want the entire piece to be completely random, the seed parameter has allowed me to work with a single image and begin to manipulate it in different ways, which also has helped hone my prompt skills and there effects on the various modelsm. Previously I did not know what effect a single change was having on the image as a different seed can literally change everything about the image notably composition and style choices, elements you may be thinking you are changing with your word choices.. so thank you again for making this so incredibly clear for everyone that is exploring midjourney... For anyone reading this who hasn't explored the --seed function give it a try.. and experiment with your phrases.. I literally use this now in 98% of my generations now.. a must have for me

Excellent info. Is there a way to keep the same generated character, but put that character in completely different situations?
