The standard Midjourney resolutions are 512 x 512 (image variants), 1024 x 1024 (upscale), 1664 x 1664 (upscale to maximum), and 2048 x 2048 (highest resolution) (beta upscale redo).

Most of the time, these basic resolutions are insufficient for producing clothing and other products larger than 5×5 inches.

Fortunately, with a little help from Photoshop, Lightroom, and the amazingly potent AI image upscalers that are readily available online and can help produce high-quality resizes in 4k or more, we can get over these resolution limitations.
