An Exciting Midjourney Update

Have you tried the new Midjourney update yet? I am very impressed with the results I got. This is the v6.1 version.

What’s New?

The new Midjourney has upped the game for producing images from a text prompt. The latest v6.1 version is more realistic, faster, and, I think, easier to create pictures from simple prompts. The only caveat is you must use –v 6.1 at the end of your prompt.

What I Asked For

A very good friend of mine has a birthday in a couple of weeks. So, I decided that for this birthday, I would not wait until the day of to make a picture for her. It just so happens I received the information that Midjourney recently released a new update. It was an early release and was not supposed to be out yet. Also, this was supposed to be a minor update, but it looks like a major update to me. I had the perfect excuse to play with the latest shiny object.

First, I asked for a photorealistic image of an older woman with short blond hair in a kayak on a lake. I received two images, and they were pretty good. In the first image, her arm was kind of bulky, but it could be fixed. However, I had a couple more images, and I had one with her head on backward and another with a third arm, so there are still issues like with other platforms.

The next image.

And my final and favorite image. I changed the prompt to an impressionist painting with vibrant colors (I need to fix the text.)

My Final Thoughts

I used very elementary prompts to test out the new Midjourney. However, right out of the gate, I feel it did a great job. I plan to add more in-depth prompts to see what I get, but this new version shows promise.
