Midjourney V7 Update: Key Improvements You Need to Know

Midjourney just rolled out the first update for version 7. This brings some cool new tools and changes how some familiar features work. If you're curious about what's different, this post breaks down the main updates.

Get Quick Images with Draft Mode

Right at the top of your image creation area, you'll see a small lightning bolt icon. This is the new Draft Mode. It's designed for speed. Click it, type your prompt, and Midjourney generates an image super fast. It's great for quickly testing ideas or getting a basic look.

Better Ways to Enhance Your Images

The way you upscale and refine images has changed, especially for pictures made in Draft Mode. Hover over a Draft Mode image, and you'll see options like "very subtle," "very strong," and "enhance."

Clicking "enhance" is different now. Instead of starting over completely, it works on that specific image you chose. It gives you four slightly better versions of that single image. The "enhance" option actually makes smaller changes than "very subtle," but the idea is still to improve on the first result. You can see the results clearly show some refinement.

You can also find the "enhance" button after you click on one of your images to open it. Look under "more" and then "additional actions" if you don't see it right away.

Managing many image generations and refinements can be time-consuming. The Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT helps streamline this process, allowing you to manage tasks and iterate faster.

Give Feedback Easily

There's also a new feedback system, though it might not be permanent. For now, you can tell Midjourney exactly what you think of your images. Use the shortcuts 1 for positive, 2 for negative, and 3 for neutral to rate your creations.

Conversation Mode: Talk to the AI

What was another "draft mode" feature is now correctly called Conversation Mode. Click this option, and the prompt box changes. This lets you refine your image ideas by chatting with a powerful AI model.

For example, you can ask for an image of a "cooking robot." The AI generates images based on your request. Then, you can follow up by asking, "Can we add more ingredients?" and specify different variations like "one image with fresh veggies, another with aromatic spices, and a third with a chocolate cake."

One amazing thing here is you can ask for several images at once based on your conversation, and it will create them. You can even ask it to combine elements from previous ideas into one new scene.

Create Seamless Patterns with Tile Mode

Tile mode is back! This feature, activated by typing [--tile] after your prompt, lets you create images that can be repeated perfectly to form a continuous pattern. An important note: Tile mode does not work when Draft Mode is on. Make sure Draft Mode is off before using [--tile].

After generating your tiled image, you can use an online seamless pattern checker. Just paste or upload your image, and the checker shows you how it looks when repeated, confirming there are no visible seams.

Automating tasks like generating variations and testing tiles can free up your time. Consider trying the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT to make your workflow smoother.

Talk Your Prompts with Voice Mode

You can also click the voice mode button and just speak your prompt aloud to Midjourney. For example, you could ask it to design a poster for a cooking class and suggest a name for it. While text quality in the output might not always be perfect yet, it’s impressive that you can interact this way.

Remix Mode Returns

Remix mode is back, and it's a favorite for many. Say you have an image created from a prompt like "futuristic vehicle." Find the remix option under "more options." Choose "strong remix" (it works best; "subtle" makes only small changes).

This loads the original prompt, but you can change the subject. Type something new, like "a flying motorcycle." Midjourney will then create new images that apply the style and look of the original image to your new subject. The results are often very similar in style to the first image but feature the new subject, which is really cool.

Conclusion

The latest Midjourney V7 update brings powerful new ways to create and refine images, from speedy draft generations and AI conversations to seamless patterns and the return of remix mode. These updates make generating specific and creative images more flexible than ever.

To get even more out of these features, especially when working on multiple projects or generating many ideas, check out the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT. It can help you automate common tasks and manage your Midjourney workflow efficiently.
