Discover Midjourney V7: Key Updates & How to Use New Features

Midjourney has a new update! Version 7 is here with some big changes. This update brings better image quality and new ways to create your art. If you use Midjourney often, knowing about V7 will help you get better results.

Midjourney announced the new V7 alpha version recently. It's been a while since the last major version update. V7 aims to make images better and understand your instructions more precisely.

To get the most out of Midjourney V7, explore tools that enhance your workflow. The TitanXT Midjourney Automation Suite can help you manage your creations and prompt variations more efficiently, letting you focus on the art itself.

What's New in Midjourney V7?

Here are some of the main things V7 changes or adds:

Improved Image Quality

V7 makes images look more real. Details like textures and skin tones are better. The images are often clearer and more precise. It's becoming harder to tell if an image was made by AI or is a real photo, especially with people.

Better Prompt Understanding

Midjourney V7 seems to follow your text prompts more closely. If you ask for specific things, V7 tries harder to include them exactly as you described. This means your prompts need to be clearer now than before.

Personalization is On by Default

Personalization helps Midjourney learn what image styles you like. In V7, this feature starts turned on. Midjourney believes this helps create images you will like more. You can turn it off if you prefer.

New Draft Mode

This is a fun new feature. Draft Mode speeds up image creation by 10 times and uses less of your Fast time. The images are lower resolution compared to normal mode, but it's great for trying out ideas quickly before creating the final version.

Smoother Voice Input

You can now use your voice to give Midjourney instructions. This feature works well, even with Japanese voice commands. It lets you quickly try out different ideas by just speaking them.

How to Use Midjourney V7

Using V7 is easy once you know how.

Activate V7

To use V7 for a specific prompt, type your text prompt and then add `--v 7`. For example: `your prompt text --v 7`.

Set Up Personalization (Initial Use)

The first time you use V7, Midjourney might ask you to set up personalization. You'll see a message to "Unlock Personalization." Click this, and you'll go to a page where you choose which images you like from pairs. You need to rate up to 200 images for V7 to understand your preferences. Once done, you can use V7 normally.

Using Draft Mode

You can turn Draft Mode on with a button next to the prompt bar. Click it to turn it on (it will turn red). Now, any images you create will be fast drafts. Click it again to turn it off. You can also use the parameter `-- سبک draft` after your prompt.

Draft Mode is great for:

• Quickly trying many ideas.

• Making early versions or sketches.

• Changing details fast, like colors or objects.

• Creating many variations with the Repeat parameter (`--r 5`) for brainstorming.

Using Voice Input

Click the voice mode icon next to the prompt bar. Speak your prompt and instructions. Midjourney will process your voice and create images or make changes based on what you said.

Comparing V7 and V6.1

Let's look at how V7 compares to the previous version, V6.1.

Characters

V7 makes character images look more real. Skin textures and details are noticeably better. While V6.1 was good, V7's characters can look incredibly lifelike, sometimes making it hard to tell they are AI-generated.

Simple Styles (Line Drawings)

For simple prompts like "line drawing" or "minimalist," V7 is more faithful to the request for simplicity. V6.1 might add more detail than intended, but V7 more accurately creates truly simple lines and less information.

Multiple People

Creating images with multiple people has improved in V7. V6.1 sometimes had issues with hands or faces when showing groups. V7 still has some problems, but it's better at handling multiple figures. V7 also seems to follow spatial arrangements, like people standing in a circle, more literally than V6.1 did.

Detailed Prompts

V7 is better at following detailed instructions. If you describe a character with specific features (eye color, clothing, sitting position), V7 is more likely to include all these details than V6.1. However, very complex or abstract details (like putting hearts in eyes) may still be difficult.

This improved prompt understanding means you need to be more precise with your words in V7. Vague prompts that worked before might give unexpected results. Being clear about what you want is key.

Tools like the TitanXT Midjourney Automation Suite can help you experiment with prompt variations easily, testing how V7 handles different levels of detail and wording to find the perfect combination for your desired image.

What's Next for Midjourney?

Midjourney plans to release new updates every week or two over the next couple of months. One exciting future feature announced is the ability to create videos.

Final Thoughts on V7

Midjourney V7 is a significant update. Image quality is higher, showing better realism and detail. The AI now understands prompts more precisely, which is great if you know exactly what you want but means you need to write clearer prompts. New features like Draft Mode and improved Voice Input make the creation process faster and more flexible for experimenting with ideas.

As Midjourney continues to evolve, staying up-to-date with features and improving your prompt skills will be important. Consider using tools like the TitanXT Midjourney Automation Suite to streamline your workflow and explore V7's capabilities efficiently.

V7 brings Midjourney closer to creating highly realistic and specific images. It's an exciting time for AI art creation.
