Explore New Features in Midjourney V7's First Update

Midjourney recently rolled out the first update for version 7. This update brings a few helpful changes and improvements. Whether you're new to creating images with AI or have been using Midjourney for a while, these new features can help you make even better pictures.

A Fresh Look and Faster Drafts

When you visit the create page, you might notice a new lightning bolt icon. This is the new draft mode. It lets you create images very quickly. Just click the bolt before you type your prompt. For example, you could type something like "retrofuturistic spaceship" and see how fast Midjourney generates ideas.

Using the Enhance Feature

The enhance feature works differently now, especially with draft mode images. If you hover over an image made in draft mode, you'll see options like "very subtle," "very strong," and "enhance." When you click "enhance," it doesn't redraw the whole image using the standard method. Instead, it focuses on the picture you selected and creates four slightly improved versions based on that specific image.

Providing Feedback

While looking at your images, you might also see a new feedback system. You can tell Midjourney if you like the image, don't like it, or feel neutral about it. There are also shortcuts for giving this feedback quickly.

Introducing Conversational Mode

The feature previously known as another type of draft mode has been renamed "conversational mode." This name makes more sense for what it does. Clicking this changes the prompt box, letting you talk to a large language model to refine your images.

You can ask it things like, "Can I see a picture of a rockstar hamster?" and it will generate images based on your request. You can even add more details or ask for variations. For example, you could then ask, "Can we add some band members? Create one picture with a koala drummer, one with a parrot bassist, and one with a panda lead singer." The cool thing is you can ask for multiple distinct images in one go, and it will draft them separately.

This mode allows for a more natural way to guide the AI. You can even use the voice mode option to speak your requests instead of typing.

Speed up your workflow and explore new creative paths with these Midjourney features. To take your image generation to the next level, consider automating repetitive tasks. Find out how with the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT.

Tile Mode Returns

Another helpful feature making a comeback is tile mode, using the `--tile` parameter. This is great for creating seamless patterns. When using tile mode, remember that it doesn't work with the new draft mode enabled right now. Make sure the lightning bolt is off.

Just add `--tile` to your prompt, like "a floral pattern --tile". Tile mode works well with various aspect ratios. Once you generate your image, you can use an online seamless pattern checker tool (just search for one on Google) to see how the pattern repeats perfectly when tiled.

Remix Mode Update

The remix feature is back in version 7, and it's a favorite for many. Remix lets you take an existing image and apply its style or composition to a different subject or concept. To use it, find the remix option in the additional menus for your image.

It's recommended to use "remix strong" instead of "remix subtle" for better results. Once you choose remix strong, the original prompt will load in your prompt box. The simplest way to use it effectively is often just changing the main subject. For instance, if you remixed an image of Batman created with a specific style, you could change "Batman" to "Iron Man," "Spider-Man," or "Wonder Woman." Midjourney will then generate new images applying the original look and feel to the new subjects. The results are usually very similar to the original but with the new character or item.

While not identical, this feature is powerful for generating variations around a consistent style. If you find an image you love, try remixing it to explore what it looks like with different subjects!

Automating parts of your Midjourney process can help you experiment with features like Remix and Conversational mode more efficiently. See how the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT can streamline your workflow and save you time.
