What to do if Midjourney outputs are blurry or the style goes off? A practical guide to tuning 5 core parameters

Are the images generated by Midjourney always a blurry mess? Or is the style completely different from what you want? I tested more than 200 different parameter combinations and summarized this tuning method—straight to the good stuff.

Quick reference table for five core parameters

ParameterValue rangeFunctionRecommended scenarios
--q0.25/0.5/1Image quality/detail levelUse 1 for final renders; use 0.5 for drafts
--stylize0-1000Artistic style strengthFor realism choose 50-100; for illustration choose 500+
--v5/5.2/6Model versionFor portraits recommend v5.2; for general use v6
--ar1:1/16:9/9:16Aspect ratioChoose according to use case
--chaos0-100RandomnessUse 50+ for brainstorming; use 0-10 for precise outputs

Parameter combinations for three common scenarios

Portrait photoshoot:a portrait of young woman, natural lighting --v 5.2 --stylize 80 --q 1 --ar 3:4

Product showcase image:minimalist product photography, white background --v 6 --stylize 30 --q 1 --ar 1:1

Concept illustration:fantasy landscape illustration --v 6 --stylize 650 --q 1 --ar 16:9

Quick fixes for common output issues

  • Blurry image: change --q to 1 and check whether you used an overly low stylize value
  • Style too exaggerated: reduce stylize to below 100
  • Distorted faces: switch to v5.2 and add the descriptor “realistic face”
  • Composition too messy: reduce chaos to 10 or below and add a “specific composition” description

A practical tip

My personal habit is to use --q 0.5 first to quickly generate 4 draft images. After selecting a composition I like, I regenerate a high-definition version with --q 1. This saves both time and compute, and can save quite a number of generations over a month.
