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
