About PrompterAid
PrompterAid is a visual reference tool for users of the NijiJourney and Midjourney AI models. It displays pre-generated style references (--sref
codes) using a consistent series of mermaid-themed images, all created with the same seed and a simple mermaid
prompt. This uniform approach makes it easy to compare styles directly and combine them to fine-tune your prompts with precision.
How to use PrompterAid
- Hover over the model name (e.g., "Niji 6") in the subheader to switch between NijiJourney and Midjourney models. The appropriate version tag (
--niji 6
or--v 7
) will be automatically added to your prompt. - Enter your base prompt in the text field.
- Click one or more images to select their styles.
- The final prompt, including
--sref
and the correct version tag, is auto-generated. - Click or press 'C' to copy the prompt to your clipboard.
Platform
- Discord: Paste the prompt into the MidJourney or NijiJourney Discord bot, just like any other prompt.
- Website: Use the generated prompt directly on the Midjourney or NijiJourney website.
Both bots and websites can accept the same --sref
, --niji 6
and --v 7
parameters!
How to Use Style References
An --sref
code is a unique numeric ID that points to a predefined visual style stored by NijiJourney controlling the look, mood, and aesthetic of an image (like color, lighting, or composition) without needing an image upload.
The code represents a specific direction within MidJourney's multidimensional style space. Think of your prompt as starting at the center of a sphere. Each style reference is a vectorβan arrowβpointing outward toward a particular visual aesthetic.
The --sw
parameter controls how far along that vector your prompt travels, adjusting the strength of the style influence.
Advanced Options:
- Multiple styles: Apply more than one style by listing multiple
--sref
codes to blend their visual influences. - Weighted styles: Add
::weight
to each--sref
code to control how strongly each one affects the output. - Style strength (0β1000): Use
--sw
to adjust the overall intensity of the style reference's influence on the image.
