The prompt

Prompt

A tall gothic library reading room with arched stone ceilings and iron chandeliers holding guttering candles, rows of leather-bound books on oak shelves reaching two stories high, a single reader at a wooden desk lit by a green banker's lamp, dust motes drifting through a shaft of light from a stained-glass window, worn Persian rug underfoot, deep mahogany and forest green palette, moody low-key lighting, no text, no letters --ar 3:2 --stylize 250

How to use this prompt

  1. 1

    Open the generator that matches the model and version above, and start a new image rather than editing an existing one.

  2. 2

    Set the output to 3:2 and apply the settings shown in the parameters panel — together those produced the 768 × 516 image on this page.

  3. 3

    Paste the prompt exactly as written. Changing the wording changes the image, so copy it before you edit.

  4. 4

    Generate, then change one thing at a time. The result will not be pixel-identical to the image on this page, because no seed is recorded for it.

Midjourney takes the aspect ratio as a parameter appended to the prompt rather than as a separate control, written as --ar 3:2, and --stylize followed by a number controls how far the model pushes its own aesthetic. Append both to the end of the prompt text instead of looking for fields for them.
