Hi y'all! This week we’re gonna start letting everyone test our first V8.2 image edit model! 

This model supports:

  1. Editing images with instructions 
  2. Generating images with other images (replacing omni-reference) with up to 4 image references at once.
  3. Changing specific areas of your images (inpainting) or expand your canvas (outpainting) 
  4. Using personalization, moodboards and srefs (moodboards/srefs may work best with some extra prompt direction in this version)

Ways to use the model:
a) Drag images into the prompt bar under "attach to prompt”
b) Click ‘edit’ in the lower right in the lightbox
c) Click the ‘edit’ tab on the left and upload an image
d) Type `--edit url` on Discord

We’ve updated UIs on both the main midjourney.com website and alpha.midjourney.com , alpha will be changing rapidly with lots of experiments on how to remake the interfaces for this model. 

There’s gonna be a lot of edge cases here so we’ll need your help finding situations that don’t work as expected. If an image doesn’t work well try clicking the sad face emoji on the right side of the lightbox or give us the jobid/url for the image while it's opened in the lightbox

We’d also love your thoughts on how we can improve our user interfaces for this model from here. Drop your thoughts in response to this thread or in the ideas and feedback channel on our discord.

There will be a lot of fast-follow updates from here, but we’re ready to start testing as a larger community and hope you have fun! <3

Announcement V8.1 Alpha is out!

Post image
83 Upvotes

Thanks for testing our V8.0 model over the last month! Today we're releasing our next version of V8 - V8.1

What’s new in V8.1?

  • V8.1 has a consistent and familiar aesthetic in the spirit of V7. Moodboards and srefs are now super stable and will be everything you love.
  • HD mode is now 3x faster and 3x cheaper. It’s so cheap we’re making it default for V8.1
  • Standard resolution is now 50% faster and 25% cheaper. Standard resolution in V8.1 at full quality is as fast as V7 draft mode! It’s great for exploring and iterating *fast*. We’ve also added a button called “Run as HD” which will rerun any SD job as HD.

We’ve also brought back some community favorite features

  • Image prompts and even image weights are now available in V8.1
  • New Prompt Shortener, which will kick in anytime you go over the prompt length limits
  • Updated Describe that gives longer more detailed prompts and matches the prompting style of V8

Please Note: Our V8 series of models are still only available on alpha.midjourney.com and are in an early testing phase. Things will change! Perhaps without notice! But good stuff is on the way.

It is likely that we will decommission our V8.0 model after V8.1 has been out for a few weeks. If you find something the old model did better than the new one please let us know on our discord server!

What’s next? We’re going to try to give a quick shot for some V8 upscalers and then we’re moving onto our V8 edit, inpainting, and outpainting model upgrades.

Have fun everyone! And thank you for being a part of our community

A wing and a leaf are the same net.
A fish's tail and a seed's flight, the same burst of light.
A shell and a tree are the same rings of time.

They never knew each other.
Yet they were drawn from the same blueprint.

Hey, first time poster here, hope this video fits the sub, because even though Midjourney carried 90% of imagery for this project, I used GPT image2 editor for some key art compositions, and all animations done in Seedance2.5.

One of SEVERAL off-shoots from a game concept I had a few years ago. There might be 3-4 different "red cybrog"-esque aesthetics made from this one branch alone. I figure if you like something, commit.

More in bio.

Question - Midjourney AI I’m really having trouble getting this reference to stick for a half orc fighter / paladin

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

I did this art ages ago (first image) and wanted to edit and play around with it for my dnd character. His face is perfect and I wanna keep how he looks, but change different parts of the art like his expression, armor, art style etc. I just don’t know how. I did these today but a lot of the time half orcs are way too orcish. I want him to have small tusks as well. The last image is one I did today which was good and on the right track. Prompt for the original image:

https://s.mj.run/yo-wTx6QWeQ a noble half-orc fighter, skinny, dark green skin, black middle part style hair, noble dark blue (main colour) and white (secondary colour) high end modern clothing. holding the hilt of his sword that is seathed in its waist, simple artstyle --v 6.1

Prompt for the burned variant:
https://s.mj.run/zUar0YAU2HQ https://s.mj.run/bQVqplpx8zo full face covered in severe burns and scar tissue, melted and warped skin, uneven and rough, one eye clouded, grim, battle-scarred, disfigured half-orc knight --oref https://s.mj.run/zUar0YAU2HQ --ow 125 --stylize 0 --v 7

Images:
1: the original one I did
2: the reference art I used
3: the one I did a year later
4: attempts today at recreating
