If you're navigating the AI-generated content landscape, you've likely encountered Midjourney. But are you familiar with its feature known as "Permutation Prompts"?

This is a must-try for anyone aiming to generate diverse variations with a single command. Let's dig in!

What Are Permutation Prompts?

Permutation Prompts let you whip up multiple versions of a prompt by enclosing a list of options within curly braces {}. For instance, if you input /imagine prompt a {blue, orange, purple} cat, Midjourney will churn out three different jobs:

/imagine prompt a blue cat
/imagine prompt an orange cat
/imagine prompt a purple cat

It's important to note that you need to have a subscription to access this feature, and the permutations will process in fast mode.

More Than Just Text: Parameters and Weights

Permutation Prompts aren't confined to text alone. You can also include image prompts, parameters, and prompt weights. For instance, you could modify the Midjourney version of your generated images with a prompt like /imagine a cosmic cat --{v 5, niji, test}.

Advanced Usage: Nested Permutations

If you're up for a challenge, nested permutations are worth exploring. For instance, /imagine prompt a {shark, dolphin} {swimming, leaping} in a {lake, ocean} will generate eight different jobs, each with a unique combination of the options.
