Seed
Seed numbers are generated randomly for each image but can be specified with the --seed parameter. If you use the same seed number and prompt, you will get similar final images.

If no Seed is specified, Midjourney will use a randomly generated seed number, producing a wide variety of options each time a prompt is used.
Jobs run three times with random seeds:
prompt example: /imagine prompt

Jobs run two times with --seed 123
:
--seed 123
:prompt example: /imagine prompt
