Copy for platform

You do not have to generate inside Lorvara. If you have a Midjourney subscription already, or a model you use elsewhere, the Key Prompt is portable, and it is rewritten on the way out rather than copied verbatim.

Copy sits with the compiled prompt, in the Studio and on the prompt’s own page. Choose the destination and the text on the clipboard changes with it.

The Copy control with its destination list open, showing the image targets

The same Key Prompt is a different string for each platform, because the platforms disagree about where instructions belong.

What Midjourney Everywhere else
Parameters Trailing -- flags Removed: they are interface settings there
Aspect ratio --ar 16:9 Prose on the targets that sanction it; otherwise set it in their UI
Negative prompt --no Rewritten as a positive instruction, or moved to a separate field

Aspect ratio is the one to watch. Midjourney takes it as a flag. A small number of platforms officially accept it in the prompt text, so it is written into the sentence. On the rest it is a setting in their interface and Lorvara leaves it out. Putting it in the prompt there does nothing at best, and gets read as subject matter at worst.

Some destinations need two pastes. Where a platform keeps negatives in their own box rather than in the prompt, Copy gives you a second field to paste separately. It is labeled with the name that platform uses.

Tick Add /imagine and it gets appended to the front of a prompt ready to copy for Discord. Leave it unticked for Midjourney’s web interface, which supplies the command itself. Note that Discord workflows are optimized in Lorvara. Midjourney images generated in Discord can be imported quickly into a prompt Library using the copied URL (see Bringing a result back below).

Assigning references to Midjourney-based prompts allows you to paste prompts into Midjourney in one step.

Pasting to Midjourney, and the reference images transfer. Every reference you attached is written into the copied prompt as a public URL that Midjourney can fetch on its own when pasted into MJ’s web input or Discord input. Paste the line and the references quickly appear as they were assigned:

In Lorvara In the copied prompt
Style references --sref with each picture’s URL, and the style code if you set one
Character references --cref on the v6 line, --oref from v7 up
Object, environment and custom references Image prompts at the front of the line, with --iw when you changed the weight

One limit, from v7 up. --oref takes a single picture. If you attached more than one character reference, the first is sent and the others are not. On the v6 line, --cref carries all of them.

To every other destination, the words go and the pictures stay. Those tools have no way to take a reference inside a pasted prompt, so Copy sends the description only. Attach your pictures again in that tool.

Media you generated in Midjourney can be imported back into the Key Prompt that produced it. It’s important to understand that images created in the web version of MJ must be downloaded and reimported into a prompt library. However, power users can transfer images back quickly from Midjourney’s Discord server using the URL for the image to import directly.

Discord links (URLs) and Midjourney’s own image links (cdn.midjourney.com) are both recognized in Lorvara’s import dialogs.
