Knowing Margarida Barreto for about a year, I wouldn’t expect anything from her to be less than excellent! On that point, her book doesn’t disappoint! Her subtitle is “Generative creative images from text prompts and seamlessly integrating them into your workflow.” But it could have been “Everything there is to know about Midjourney—finally all in one place!”I consider myself an expert on Midjourney, but there were a number of things in Margarida’s book that I didn’t know before reading it. The book discusses the history of AI, the history and development of Midjourney, and best of all, the majority of the book is about prompting in explicit terms and is filled with beautifully generated images to illustrate every detail about prompting.After Margarida gives a “Quick Start Guide” for beginners, she goes into an excellent 30-page detailed explanation of parameters. Part 3 of her book discusses “Advanced Prompts” and how to upgrade them tor “Optimal Results.” Settings are also discussed thoroughly and how to fully utilize the “Style Tuner.”“Part 4: Prompting for the Real World” explores practical use cases and pushing boundaries, tips, tricks, and special functions. This 306-page book had to be that long to include everything that Margarida has shared in this exquisitely detailed and exquisitely illustrated gem of a book. I guarantee beginner or experienced pro, you’ll learn much from this book!

Personally I am not a big reader of books, but because of my desire to develop higher level imagery using Midjourney, I had to get a copy to expand my capabilities. Margarida has taken the time to not only create an easy-to-follow guide for this amazing tool, but she's also offered an outline of how AI began and how it is impacting our world.This is a must read for anyone who is either a beginner or advanced user of Midjourney. It's filled with information but also has sample images that clearly show you the outcomes of the prompts she teaches along the way.

First of all, I need to say: I don't work and I don't even know how to use Midjourney.All the steps to begin the journey that is Midjourney are described in a coherent and readable way, so that a person who doesn't understand anything about Midjourney would have no problem following them. This book presents a world of possibilities, how to use prompts such as blend, weights, art styles, light, chaos and many others to transform a simple image into art. I can say that if I ever decide to use Midjourney, I will follow this book to the letter.
