Introduction

Currently, Midjourny is running the alpha phase of their latest V6 version on discord server. There was a long gap for the release of V6 compared to its previous releases. It’s been a week since the release and we are seeing all kinds of responses from the users. Let us dive deeper and see the major changes in the system and what’s next for us as a user of this tool?  

Key Features of Midjourney V6

1. Enhanced Prompt Following and Image Quality: Midjourney V6 exhibits much more accurate prompt following, improved coherence, and enhanced model knowledge.

2. Text Drawing: One of the most awaited features. They have introduced a minor text drawing ability, enabling users to include legible text in their creations.

3. New Prompting Structure and Parameters: The dev team has clearly stated that “You will need to ‘relearn’ how to prompt.” to use V6.

The update brings a new way of prompting, supporting elements like "chaos" and "zoom" for more control. It requires a shift in how users create prompts, focusing on being explicit and clear about desired outcomes. 

This version is more sensitive to prompts, so avoid using keywords such as “award winning, photorealistic, 4k, 8k” and others.

4. Improved Upscalers: The update includes improved upscalers with both subtle and creative modes, enhancing image resolution by 2X.

5. Organizational Tools: Anticipated improvements in image management include features like folders, ratings, and tagging, along with potential integration with external storage services. All these can be witnessed when the website is made accessible to everyone.

We just need to keep checking the platform and test out other supporting features when and how then come in. Till then, Happy Prompting.
