Concepts App 2023 - updated interface

Go through this module first, so you can familiarize yourself with the interface, and then look at the videos about the different features.
There are more detailed videos in the next module, but I'm using the old interface. It isn't much different

Getting started in Midjourney

The Midjourney process isn't straightforward. You have to use the forum app Discord, and "order" your drawings from the "Midjourney bot" by typing a forward slash followed by the word "imagine". And then find your images within a thread of thousands of other people's creations. Setting up the account can also be confusing. When I did it, I had to ask support for help with merging duplicate accounts. Because the process and the pricing may change any time, I'm linking the official quickstart guide here.
