Mastering MidJourney Parameters: Common Mistakes and How to Fix Them

Sometimes, even when you’ve written the MidJourney parameters correctly, you might still encounter an error. This can be frustrating, but the solution is often simpler than it seems.

Let me show you how to avoid and fix such issues.

For instance, take this prompt:

(A retro radio player, clean white background, full details, yellow color tone, high quality, 4K, 3D render, blender, –s 750)

In this case, I didn’t include a space after --s, but the prompt still worked. Why? It’s because I used only one parameter—--s 750. When using a single parameter, MidJourney doesn’t require spaces after the --.

However, if you’re using multiple parameters, things change. For example:

(irregularly shaped dark scales. Scales are black and dark gray with a rough, weathered stone-like texture, arranged in tight, overlapping layers. Soft, diffused studio lighting from the upper left, creating gentle highlights on the scale textures. Ultrasharp details, 8K resolution, –q 2, –s 750, –ar 9:20)

Here, I didn’t add spaces after --q and --s, and as a result, it caused an error. The correct format should be:

-- q 2, -- s 750,.

In short, when using multiple parameters, always ensure there’s a space between the -- and the parameter value to avoid errors!
