Introduction to Midjourney V6 Features and How to Use V6
MidJourney launched its latest AI image generation model, V6 Base Model, on December 21. This model boasts enhanced prompt accuracy, improved consistency, and text generation capabilities. Positioned as a significant improvement and advancement over the previous V5.2 model, the V6 model stands out with its text rendering abilities, making MidJourney competitive among other leading models such as DaLL-E 3 and Ideogram.
What are the features of Midjourney V6?
Midjourney has made several improvements and added new features in the V6 version:
1. Improved Visual Quality: The V6 version exhibits a qualitative leap in realistic style. While V5.2’s realism was already quite impressive, you could still recognize some AI characteristics. Starting from the V6 version, the visual quality will appear even more lifelike. Let’s compare V5.2 and V6 below:
Prompt: Generate a high-fashion portrait of a woman, her makeup, hair, and wardrobe emphasizing elegance and allure. The lighting should highlight her features, and the environment should exude luxury and sophistication.
2. Enhanced Semantic Understanding: The V6 version has a stronger understanding of keywords. Previously, a series of keywords such as high-definition, ultra-high-definition, and realistic were frequently used. However, in the V6 version, you no longer need these templates. You can simply describe what you want to say, for example: “A little boy is eating a green apple, and there are also two red apples and a toy car on the table."
3. Text Overlay Feature: This is a problem that Midjourney has been struggling to solve since its release in 2022, while competitors like OpenAI’s DALL-E 3 and Ideogram have already introduced this feature. Although the official statement claims it is a minor text rendering feature, it is still quite impressive. Now, you can add a small amount of text elements to an image by writing the desired text in quotes and adjusting the style settings.
Prompt: Imagine a photo of the text “Midjourney V6” written with a marker on a sticky note. –ar 16:9 –v 6
Furthermore, the V6 version of Midjourney has made improvements in drawing the hands of characters and also includes various other features such as aspect ratio adjustment, chaos mode, weird mode, tiling mode, various styles, and image blending. However, some functions such as panning, scaling, local modifications, and an updated version of the “/describe” function will be released in future updates.
How to enable Midjourney V6 version？
The V6 version is currently in the testing phase, and the default version used is V5.2. Updates will not automatically apply to users. Users need to enter the slash command “/settings” in the Midjourney Discord server or via direct message, then select V6 using the dropdown menu at the top. Alternatively, you can manually input “–v 6” after the prompt in the old way.
Note: GPTBiz has already adjusted the default version to V6. If users need to use the V5.2 version, they can simply add “–v 5.2” at the end of the prompt.
