Get More Realistic Art with Midjourney V7: Here's How to Try It

Midjourney keeps getting better. We saw big changes with version 6.1. Now an alpha version of V7 is here, and it pushes image realism even further. This update brings exciting improvements, especially for generating people and detailed scenes. Let's look at what's new and how you can start using V7 now.

What Midjourney V7 Does Best

The biggest step forward in V7 is how it handles realism. It feels like another major jump. Pictures, especially those with people, look much more lifelike. You'll see improvements in details like skin texture, hands, and even small elements in the scene. Objects also benefit from this higher level of detail and authenticity.

Generating images of highways, planks, or other objects now results in incredibly realistic textures and lighting. Some images generated with V7 look less like AI art and more like actual photographs. While it's still in testing, the early results show a clear focus on bringing generated images closer to real-world photographs.

How to Start Using Midjourney V7

Getting access to the V7 alpha isn't automatic. You need to take a couple of steps:

• Participate in Image Ranking: You need to rank images within Midjourney about 200 times. This helps train the model and also activates your personal profile, which is linked to accessing V7. Go to the ranking tool and rate pairs of images based on which one you think is better or more realistic.

• Adjust Discord Settings: Once you've done the ranking, you need to select V7 in your Midjourney settings within Discord. Use the `/settings` command and choose the 'V7 Alpha' option.

It's recommended to use V7 with 'Relax' or 'Turbo' mode turned on. The developers mention it might not work fully in 'Fast' mode, though some users might not notice a difference. Set your preferred mode using the `/relax` or `/turbo` commands in Discord before generating.

Tips for Trying V7

Experiment with different prompts. Try focusing on subjects where V7 shows the biggest improvement: people, detailed portraits, objects with texture, and outdoor scenes. Look closely at the fine details like fingers, eyes, and surface textures to see the advancements.

Remember, this is an alpha version. You might encounter some minor issues, but overall, it's stable enough for testing and exploration. Spend some time exploring and see how it changes your creative workflow.

Examples of V7's Capabilities

Looking at example images generated with V7 shows the power of this update. Portraits reveal striking clarity and natural details in faces and hands. Pictures of objects truly look like photographs, capturing light and texture in impressive ways. Even scenes that might have looked slightly artificial before now have a more photo-realistic quality. Try creating prompts for:

• Detailed portraits

• Scenes with natural elements (like cherry blossoms or landscapes)

• Images of objects with specific textures (like wood or fabric)

The goal is getting closer to indistinguishable reality, and V7 is a big step on that path.
