Midjourney: dial literal vs. artistic with --stylize
--stylize (or --s) ranges 0-1000, default 100. Go low to follow your prompt closely, high for more artistic interpretation.
Think of --stylize as a slider between “do exactly what I said” and “make it beautiful your way.”
- Low (e.g.
--s 0–50): sticks closely to prompt details. Good for product shots or specific compositions. - Default
100 - High (e.g.
--s 500–1000): more artistic flair, but may drift from the details.

Set a default in the Imagine bar settings so you don’t type it every time. Pair with --raw (Raw Mode) when you want even less of Midjourney’s default aesthetic.
