The latest version of Midjourney V6, which is now available on Discord, have left users baffled by the nearly-real image outputs. While the previous version, Midjourney v5.2, was already competing with other AI image generation tools, the latest one truly puts the others to the test. 

The V6 version brings in features that allow users to fine tune images. As per a Reddit community that tested the new version, the prompt length has been increased to 350+ words, enabling users to interact in the ChatGPT format. Furthermore, the latest version is able to understand the nuances of punctuation, and grammar, and even allow the addition of text to the images. Colours, borders and other details can also be added to the image. 

Here are a few mind-blowing outputs from our ‘professional photographer on steroids’.

Facial Images

Midjourney V6 is able to understand minute details and multiple instructions, especially with facial features. The below image was generated with specific instructions on eyes and lighting.

Colour Enhancement

Irrespective of the number of minute instructions given to the AI-generation tool, the output is closest to expectation. The below prompt focuses on multiple colour instructions, which have been generated with accuracy. 

Cartoon and Design

When compared to the previous version, the design generated in V6 is closest to the context inputted. In the below example, the output highlights a more detailed logo. 

Prompt: A square modern iOS app logo design of a real time strategy game, young boy, iOS app icon, simple UI, flat design, white background.

Cinematic Advancement

When asked to generate images with a cinematic background, though V5.2’s output is fairly advanced, the V6 output elevates the quality for a theatrical feel. 

Architectural Feel

Prompts related to interiors and architectural designs are accurately generated, ensuring that the colour and theme of the prompts are maintained. 

Prompt: A dining room with large French doors and elegant, dark wood furniture, decorated in a sophisticated black and white colour scheme, evoking a classic Art Deco style.

Celebrity and Public Figures

As accurate and near-perfect the images are, Midjourney V6 also generates public figures and celebrity images which can lead to copyright issues. On the other hand, AI image generation models such as DALL E.3, does not create celebrity, logos or any form of branded content.
