Edit Midjourney Images Easily Using the New Web Editor

Big news from the Midjourney team! They just launched a new web editor, and it's a major step forward. Imagine editing, reshaping, and adding details to your AI art all in one simple place. No more switching interfaces for basic adjustments. This new tool changes how you work with your created images. Let's look at what you can do with it.

Getting Started with the Midjourney Editor

Accessing the editor is easy. Just create an image in Midjourney as you normally would. Once the image appears, look for the 'Editor' option near the image details. Click it, and you'll enter your new editing space.

Inside the editor, you'll find key tools:

• A brush tool: Use this to pick or bring back specific parts of your image. It's great for small touch-ups.

• Adjust brush size: Make the brush bigger or smaller depending on if you need fine details or broad strokes.

• Scale and aspect ratio options: These help you change the size or shape of your image easily.

• Undo buttons: If you make a mistake, you can simply go back using the undo feature.

• Reset prompt: Changes to the text prompt can be undone easily.

A great thing about this new editor is that you can use it on any Midjourney image, even ones you made before this update.

Expanding and Changing Your Scenes

One powerful feature is the ability to expand your image area. Let's say you started with a wide image (16:9 ratio) and want it to be tall (9:16). You can use the 'zoom out' tool to extend the canvas beyond the current picture. Tell Midjourney the new aspect ratio, click submit, and it will create a larger version for you.

Unlike in the past where you might have been limited in which direction you could pan after the first move, the new editor lets you expand the image in any direction you need. Want to add something above your scene? Expand upwards and prompt Midjourney to add it.

Adding and Removing Things

The brush tool is helpful for making specific changes. You can select an area you want to change. For example, click on parts of the image you want to remove. Then, update your text prompt to remove those items or describe what you want in that area instead. Midjourney will then fill the selected spot based on your new instructions and the rest of the image.

You can also select an empty expanded area and tell Midjourney what to add there. If you expanded the sky, you could brush that area and ask Midjourney to add a UFO.

While the editor is great for many tasks, please note it does not fully support cropping yet. If you try to crop the image size down significantly, you might get an error. We hope this feature comes in a future update.

Trying Different Ideas with the Brush

Using the brush tool lets you experiment. Say you have a person in your image and want to add something specific to their head, like a hat or helmet. Carefully use the brush tool to select just the head (or the area you want to change). Your selection needs to be big enough for Midjourney to create the object but not so big that it changes the person's face or other details too much.

Then, update your prompt to describe what you want added. Be specific if you have a particular style in mind (like a "historical iron and bone Viking helmet" versus just "Viking helmet"). Midjourney will do its best to add that object while making it fit the style and feel of the rest of the image. Sometimes, the overall look of the original image can influence the result, giving you a new take on what you asked for.

Using these tools to edit and add elements lets you tell more complex stories with your images. You can easily expand a scene, shift the focus, and add details like a flickering candle to change the mood.

To really boost your creative workflow and handle repetitive tasks with Midjourney, consider checking out the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT. It can help automate generating many images based on lists of prompts or parameters, freeing you up to spend more time refining your best creations using the new editor features.

What's Next?

Midjourney has mentioned they are thinking about letting users edit images that were *not* created in Midjourney using this editor. This would be a huge step, making the editor useful for even more creative tasks, but there are still some things they need to work out, like how to handle moderation for outside images. For now, the new editor for Midjourney images is a big improvement that helps creators quite a bit.

Conclusion

The new Midjourney web editor gives you simple and powerful ways to change your generated images. With tools to brush, expand, repaint, and pan, you have more control than ever to make your visuals just right. It makes refining your work much easier and keeps your creative process moving smoothly.
