Simple Guide to Midjourney's New Web Image Editor

Hey everyone! The Midjourney team has something exciting for you. They just rolled out a brand new web editor. This changes things. You can now edit, reframe, and repaint your AI images right there in one place. Let's walk through how it works so you can start making great visuals today.

Finding the New Editor

Getting to the editor is easy. First, make your image as you usually would. Once Midjourney creates it, look under the image details. You will see an "editor" option. Click that, and you're in the new workspace.

Getting to Know the Tools

At the top of the editor screen, you'll see a new toolbar. Here's what's there:

• Brush Tool: This is great for choosing parts of your image to edit or bring back. You can change how big the brush is for small details or larger areas.

• Scale and Aspect Ratio: You have simple ways to change the size and shape of your image right here. This makes adding to or extending your image easy.

Fixing Mistakes

If you want to go back to how your image looked before edits, use the back button. If you changed the prompt, you can use the "reset prompt" button to get the original text back. You can also just use standard undo commands like Command+Z or Control+Z.

Good news: you can use this new editor on any Midjourney image, even ones you made before this update.

Examples: Putting the Editor to Use

Let's look at how these tools work together.

Changing Shape and Size

Suppose you start with a wide image, maybe 16:9. You can use the editor to make it tall, like 9:16. Just set the new size and hit submit. Midjourney will create the image with the new shape, often with good results. You can quickly jump back to the editor using your browser's back button if you want to try another edit.

Taking Things Out

Want to remove something from your picture? Use the brush tool. Select the area you want gone, maybe a peacock in a photo. Then, update your prompt to remove any mention of the object you're deleting. Hit submit, and Midjourney can remove the object and fill the space.

Adding Things In and Making More Space

Let's say you have a landscape image and want to add something new, like a deer on a hill. Open the editor. You can pull on the edges of the image to create more space. Update your prompt to include "a deer standing on a hill." Hit submit. Midjourney can add the deer, blending it into your picture. Before, you could only pan an image left or right easily on Discord. Now, you can keep adding to the image in any direction you want, up, down, left, or right. You could even add a UFO in the sky this way.

While the editor is powerful for adding and expanding, it doesn't fully support cropping a part of the image to make it smaller or change its original boundaries without adding to it yet. This is something the Midjourney team might change later as cropping is a common need.

Managing multiple edits and variations can become time-consuming. To help streamline your process, consider the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT. It can automate tasks and organize your generations, allowing you to focus more on the creative editing the new web editor offers.

Trying Creative Brush Edits

The brush tool lets you get creative. Imagine you have a photo of a person and a dog. You could use the brush tool to select the person's head. Then, add to your prompt, "orange Viking helmet on his head," and submit. Midjourney might give you a modern-looking horn helmet. If you wanted a classic iron helmet instead, you could go back, select less of the head (important so the face doesn't change too much), and be very specific in the prompt, "historical Viking helmet made of iron and bone on his head." You could even try changing the aspect ratio at the same time. The results can vary. Sometimes the original style of the image makes it hard to add something very different, like a historical item to a modern photo. Getting exactly what you want when painting in can sometimes take trying a few times, being very clear in the prompt about the new part.

Setting the Mood

You can also use the editor to enhance the feeling of an image. If you have a picture of a detective looking at something under dim light, you can make it more dramatic. Use the scale presets to change the aspect ratio, maybe make it wider like 16:9. You can also use the tool to slightly move the image within your new frame. Then, update the prompt, perhaps adding "flickering candle casting shadows." Submit, and Midjourney can add the candle, changing the lighting and mood.

What's Next for the Editor?

Midjourney has talked about letting users edit images not made by Midjourney in the future using this editor. If they can work out some details, you might be able to bring in your own photos to use these tools on.

The new image editor is a great addition. It should make working with your Midjourney images much smoother and allow for more direct control and creativity right in the web interface. The possibilities feel much wider now.

Automating repetitive tasks can free up more time for creative editing. Explore how the TitanXT Midjourney Automation Suite can help manage your workflow, letting you spend more time using Midjourney's powerful new editor features.
