Accept, Iterate, Refine: A Healthy Prompt Workflow
Build the habit of iterating on prompts.
What You Will Learn
- Adopt the generate-evaluate-iterate loop.
- Define acceptance criteria.
- Use variations effectively.
- Build a refinement workflow.
- Recognize when to restart.
Why This Matters
The biggest source of Midjourney disappointment is accepting the first grid without iterating.
Concept Explained
The loop: generate, evaluate (which of 4 is best?), accept (upscale) or iterate (vary, remix, or re-prompt), refine (adjust prompt based on results).
How It Works
