Midjourney: what changes with the V7

Midjourney V7 in summary:

  • Better interpretation of text and visual prompts
  • Incredible consistency on hands, bodies, objects and textures
  • Active customization of default (unlockable in 5 minutes)
  • Draft Mode: it costs half, it’s 10 times faster
  • Conversational & Voice Mode: dynamic and vocal prompt
  • Completely renewed bar prompt

V6 vs V7: direct comparison on the same prompt

To really understand the scope of the change introduced by the V7, I generated three very different subjects using the same identical prompt both in V6 that in V7. The result is evident: the new version drasticly improves the quality of light, formal coherence and visual expressiveness.

1. Realistic self -reflective selfie

The face is clear, the most natural freckles, the much more credible evening urban lighting. The V7 shows a higher mastery of the proportions of the face, shadow and depth of field.

2. Forest with filtered light rays

The V6 makes the atmosphere, but the V7 sculpts the light. The rays filter more realisticly, the fog is more coherent and the contrast returns a deeply immersive scene.

3. Natural and welcoming interior design

In the comparison, the precision of the V7 in the materials, in indirect lighting and in the balance between furnishing elements is immediately noticeable. The shadows are more photographic, the most readable and interesting spaces.

Personalization: the key to unlocking the potential of the V7

One of the great revolutions introduced with the V7 is theAutomatic activation of customization of your visual style. Midjourney can now learn from you: observe what you like, how to evaluate images, which moodboard creates, and start generating results ever closer to your aesthetic sensitivity.

Attention: If you do not activate customization, you are not really using the V7 to the maximum of its potential. Here’s how to activate customization in 3 steps:

  • Go up Midjourney.com/app and access
  • From the menu, click on “Personalization”
  • Ranking at least 200 couples of images: For each couple, Midjourney will simply ask you which of the two you prefer, left (1) or right (2). If neither convinces you, you can skimboard by clicking on “Pass”.
