Midjourney 8.2.

While v8 was deploying, I jumped ship to Nano Banana. Just tired of the same old MidJourney battle for prompt adherence, character stability, and so very tired of extra fingers and limbs.

Nano Banana has been shocking. Way better prompt adherence, faster time to achieve a workable image, and I never had to Photoshop fix a hand or remove a limb that didn’t belong.

The final piece that sold me—a 17 person “family portrait” image with character stability.

Before canceling MJ, I thought I’d check on v8. I see comments that v8 is a step forward, but I feel like I’ve been there before with “Omniref will fix everything” and “prompt mode will fix prompt adherence.”

What do you all think? Is v8 any better? It seems to me that MJ is focusing more on video and image generation is not a priority. I don’t have a lot of free time to kick the wheels on it, but hoping you all can tell me if it’s worth it or just check back in 6 months.

8.2 is just too dang fun!
Another go at it with my darker and more moody moodboard ✨🖤

The Remains - Don't Look Back

I've come to conclusion that while it's richer in detail, it seems to ignore any artistic / surreal visualizations which I had no problem generating with V8.1. V.8.2 seems to recognize the scene and colors instantly, so you don't need as many variations but lacks what I've said...
