Artificial Intelligence for Image Research

A guide on how to use Generative AI for image generation, editing, concept creation and development.

Permutation Prompting

Is a feature that enables the making of multiple, quick variations during concept development in Midjourney. Certain portions of the prompt can be included as a list, with the AI model generating the prompt once with each individual list item. 

The command can be structured like so:

A building emerging from the landscape in a desert designed by {Antoni Gaudi, Zaha Hadid, Mies Van Der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright} on a bright sunny day photographed by Iwan Baan, --ar 3:4

By placing different options within curly braces separated by commas, Midjourney treats each permutation prompt as an individual job.

{Antoni Gaudi, Zaha Hadid, Mies Van Der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright} would produce 4 iterations of the prompt, each under a different architect.

Permutation prompts are extremely useful for the quick development of multiple iterations, testing different materials, textures, moods, perspectives, or styles.
