Generate Highly Realistic Images with Midjourney V6

Midjourney released its new model, version 6. This update helps you create much more realistic pictures. It also offers better control over your image prompts.

In this post, we will look at what is fresh in V6. We will cover how to start using it. We will also walk through making images in Discord. By the end, you will know how to make your own amazing pictures.

What's New in Midjourney Version 6

Version 6 brings many important changes from the previous version, 5.2. Midjourney says these changes mean you need to approach prompting in a new way.

Better Prompt Understanding

The model now follows your prompt instructions with more accuracy. It also handles longer prompts better than before. In older versions, words at the end of a long prompt might be ignored. Version 6 pays more attention to everything you write.

Improved Image Quality and Coherence

V6 creates images with better quality. The images make more sense based on your prompt. It understands what you want and creates images that match your ideas more closely.

Minor Text Ability

Adding text to images used to be hard. Version 6 now has a minor ability to draw text. You need to put the text you want in quotes "like this". It is still improving, but it is a big step forward for getting words into your pictures.

Updated Upscalers and Coming Features

The tools that make your images larger while keeping detail are better. Midjourney also plans to release more features soon, including things like pan, zoom, and describe.

Prompting Differs in V6

Midjourney suggests changing how you write prompts for V6. Short, simple prompts work well because the model understands better. Instead of adding many descriptive words like "photorealistic" or "4K" at the end, use built-in features.

For example, using `--style raw` can help you get a photographic look. Lower `--stylize` values mean the AI follows your prompt closely. Higher `--stylize` values make the AI lean more towards creating a beautiful image.

Getting Started with Midjourney

If you are new to Midjourney, here is how to begin.

Signing Up and Discord

Midjourney works through Discord, which is a chat app. You sign up on the Midjourney website (midjourney.com). You will need to connect your Discord account.

Choosing a Plan

To make images, you need a paid plan. You can find this in your settings. The basic monthly plan offers a certain number of image generations. Other plans give you unlimited generations and faster access to making images.

Making Images in Discord

Once you have a plan, you can use the Midjourney bot in Discord.

Finding the Bot

You can create images in public newcomer rooms on the Midjourney server. You can also add the Midjourney bot to your own private Discord server. This lets you work on your images away from others.

Basic Commands

Midjourney commands start with a forward slash `/`. The two main commands you will use are:

• `/settings`: Use this first to make sure your model version is set to V6. You can also change other settings here.

• `/imagine`: This is the command to create an image. After typing `/imagine`, you will see a space to write your prompt.

Writing Your Prompt

Type the description of the image you want. The better your description, the closer the image will be to your idea. Short, clear descriptions work well in V6. You can also add parameters like `--ar 16:9` for a wide image instead of a square one. There are many aspect ratios you can use.

Generating many images can be time-consuming. Automate repetitive tasks and organize your creations with the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT.

Trying Out V6 Features

Let's look at making certain styles and changing images.

Achieving Realism

To get a realistic look, try using the `--style raw` parameter with your prompt. This makes the image look less processed and more like a photograph. V6 is already very good at creating realistic people, showing small details that make them look natural.

Using Remix Mode

Remix mode lets you change an image you have already made. First, turn on remix mode in your `/settings`. Then, when you click the 'V' button (for variations) on an image, a box will appear. You can change the prompt to guide the variation. For example, you could take a realistic image and remix it to be an illustration while keeping the subject similar.

Streamline your Midjourney workflow, especially when experimenting with variations and remixes, by checking out the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT.

Next Steps with Midjourney V6

Midjourney V6 is constantly getting better. The team is working on improving speed, image details, prompt following, and text accuracy.

Try out the new features yourself. Play with different prompts and settings. See how realistic you can make your images. The new ability to create life-like humans opens up many possibilities for creators.
