Midjourney V6: Elevating Prompt Structure and Expression

The Midjourney V6 Alpha Test has begun. To activate Midjourney V6, it does not automatically update with default settings. Therefore, you must send a direct message to the Midjourney Discord server or bot, enter the "/settings" command, and then select V6 from the dropdown menu. Alternatively, you can also activate it by entering "--v 6" at the end of the prompt.
David Holz, the founder of Midjourney, mentioned that a new prompting method has been developed. V6 is much more sensitive to your prompt. You should avoid phrases like "award-winning, photorealistic, 4k, 8k," and make your requests clear. If you want more literal results or less opinionated, more realistic outputs, it's better to use --style raw as the default. (In the original text, descriptors like 4k, 8k are bluntly called "junk" prompts. "V6 is MUCH more sensitive to your prompt. Avoid ‘junk’ like “award winning, photorealistic, 4k, 8k”)
