Midjourney Permutation Prompts let you to quickly generate many variations of the same prompt with a single /imagine command.
You use permutation prompts by using a list of things separated with commas , inside curly braces {}.
The stuff outside of the curly braces will be constant throughout all generations, and the list inside the curly braces will be used to create variations.
For example, /imagine a {red, green, yellow} bird will run these 3 generations at the same time:
/imagine prompt a red bird/imagine prompt a green bird/imagine prompt a yellow bird
You can put anything inside the curly braces { }. That includes image prompts, parameters, and prompt weights.

Subject Variations
This prompt will create 4 different subjects. This is great for keeping the style consistent when you are trying to tell a story.

Parameter Variations
This prompt will generate the same image with different aspects ratios. Because I am controlling the --seed, the generations turn out quite similar.
