## Model overview

`openjourney` is a Stable Diffusion model fine-tuned on Midjourney v4 images by the Replicate creator [prompthero](https://aimodels.fyi/creators/replicate/prompthero). It is similar to other Stable Diffusion models like [stable-diffusion](https://aimodels.fyi/models/replicate/stable-diffusion-stability-ai), [stable-diffusion-inpainting](https://aimodels.fyi/models/replicate/stable-diffusion-inpainting-stability-ai), and the [midjourney-style](https://aimodels.fyi/models/replicate/midjourney-style-sd-concepts-library) concept, which can produce images in a Midjourney-like style.

## Model inputs and outputs

`openjourney` takes in a text prompt, an optional image, and various parameters like the image size, number of outputs, and more. It then generates one or more images that match the provided prompt. The outputs are high-quality, photorealistic images.

### Inputs
- **Prompt**: The text prompt describing the desired image
- **Image**: An optional image to use as guidance
- **Width/Height**: The desired size of the output image
- **Seed**: A random seed to control image generation
- **Scheduler**: The algorithm used for image generation
- **Guidance Scale**: The strength of the text guidance
- **Negative Prompt**: Aspects to avoid in the output image

### Outputs
- **Image(s)**: One or more generated images matching the input prompt

## Capabilities

`openjourney` can generate a wide variety of photorealistic images from text prompts, with a focus on Midjourney-style aesthetics. It can handle prompts related to scenes, objects, characters, and more, and can produce highly detailed and imaginative outputs.

## What can I use it for?

You can use `openjourney` to create unique, Midjourney-inspired artwork and illustrations for a variety of applications, such as:

- Generating concept art or character designs for games, films, or books
- Creating custom stock images or graphics for websites, social media, and marketing materials
- Exploring new ideas and visual concepts through freeform experimentation with prompts

## Things to try

Some interesting things to try with `openjourney` include:
- Experimenting with different prompt styles and structures to see how they affect the output
- Combining `openjourney` with other Stable Diffusion-based models like [qrcode-stable-diffusion](https://aimodels.fyi/models/replicate/qrcode-stable-diffusion-nateraw) or [stable-diffusion-x4-upscaler](https://aimodels.fyi/models/replicate/stable-diffusion-x4-upscaler-lucataco) to create unique visual effects
- Exploring the limits of the model's capabilities by pushing the boundaries of what can be generated with text prompts
