Testing Midjourney V6 updated version

I had an idea to test the same prompt for an image with text with different stylize factors from -s 10 up to -s 1000.

Prompt: A close-up of a beautiful woman’s face with vibrant red hair, her eyes captivating with a serene expression. The words “Fiery Grace” are subtly integrated into the background in a sleek, modern font. Art Style: Pop Art; Technique: Digital illustration. — s 10 — ar 1:1 — v 6.0

Midjourney V6 -s 1000

My personal favorites are images with -s 400 and -s 900; let me know in the comments what your favorite is.

In the previous Midjourney V6 version, right after the release, the text generation was much better with lower stylize factors. After the latest update, we can now use all s factors to create images with text. This is exciting news for everybody who likes to use higher stylize factors to add more Midjourney’s specific image aesthetics.
