To turn your concepts into images on Midjourney, you will need to enter a prompt as your input from which the Midjourney Bot will pull information to create images as you imagined. When you enter descriptive words into your prompt, the Midjourney Bot combines the description with its own style and aesthetic to generate images that are largely based on the prompt you entered.

To ensure Midjourney produces images that better match your description, you can try complex prompts that detail what you want to create. However, using detailed prompts comes at a cost, as the AI can sometimes be overwhelmed by the level of detail you’ve provided. This is where Prompt Weights come in.

As the name suggests, you can use Prompt Weights to split your description into multiple segments and then prioritize each of these segments by assigning them a weight value. For example, if the image you want to conceptualize has more than one subject, setting, or environment, you can tell the Midjourney Bot which elements you want to emphasize more than others.

Midjourney lets you assign prompt weights by adding a double colon :: followed by a number directly after the segment of the prompt you want to emphasize. Since all words in your prompt have a value of 1 for equal weight by default, the value you enter to emphasize a segment must be greater than 1 so that Midjourney realizes that segment is more important.
