Quick Midjourney Update: 5 key highlights to know (20th September 2023)
Keeping up with the rapid changes and developments
Here’s a quick rundown of the most recent Midjourney Weekly Office Hours:
(1) Midjourney V5.3
There is no set release date, and whether it will be called V5.3 is unclear.
(2) Midjourney V6
The expected features are the same as in the previous update. The release date has yet to be determined.
There is no 3D feature between the V6 and V7.
(3) Website
The phase one website has similar functionality to the current website, but it is faster, has a better design, and has improved search and image navigation.
The second phase of the website will include image creation and social features.
(4) Ongoing and future projects
Faster image generation will be implemented for all members, beginning with the top-tier membership.
A new describe-like feature is being developed.
A new upscaler that doubles the resolution is in development. Internal testing will begin the following Monday. There is no release date yet.
Niji’s aesthetic will be improved based on data collection.
(5) Other updates
Cyberjungle recently shared his “Atomic Prompting” cinematic prompting technique that provides a structure for composing elements into a prompt. His video is informative, given that he covered the entire workflow from image creation to video trailer production. The video is more suitable for intermediate and advanced Midjourney users.
It’s refreshing to see Midjourney in action for a product label design. Read a story by Arne Schuldt about how Midjourney worked with a human Lead Designer to co-create the label for a Mountain Gin called “The Flying Duck.”
