Welcome guys! It’s another round of quick updates from Midjourney.

Midjourney has recently introduced an exciting new feature — The Style References” feature that allows you to replicate a style and maintain the aesthetic easily.

This time, be prepared for the release of the NEW ” describe” and improvements including increased coherence, better text and performance upgrades

Let’s see what new features are coming 🔥

Midjourney V6 Upgrade🔥

V6 will become the default Midjourney model soon

Among the key upgrades are significantly better text rendering, coherency, and prompt accuracy. Creations will also showcase more realistic details like hands and improvements:

  • Better Text Generation with better texture
  • Better Prompting and Coherence
  • Slight Aesthetic Improvement
  • Optimizations for Improved Performance

👉🏻 As some of you may be aware, the latest Midjourney V6 has an improved method for understanding prompts, here I talked about Top 9 Tips to Master Prompting with V6

A new /describe — Coming Next Week 🎨

The Midjourney team is working on an entirely brand-new /describe feature.

  • It will be more powerful and accurate than before.
  • 📅 Estimated Release: This week or early next week

The /describe command is great at replicating an aesthetics of the image. I am sure the latest/describe will work great with “Style References” to replicate an art style

Other features Coming Soon 🚀

  • Character Consistency — customization
  • A New Style Tuner — More Personalization

Character Consistency 🎨

The consistent character system is currently in development. It will:

  • Function similarly to Style References with the --crefargument
  • Enables users to modify colors and backgrounds while maintaining a consistent character.

Users may have the option to specify which elements of the image they want to maintain consistency, such as color, clothing, or facial features. How exciting is that! 😍

📅 Estimated Release Date: It will take several weeks more. Simpler versions will be attempted first with potential future changes and version management

New Style Tuner — Upcoming V6.1🚀

A rebuilt-style tuner is also nearing release. It is currently underway and will be a completely new style tuner compared to the previous version.

It will work like a “Model Tuner” and will enable

  • Greater Customization over generated images.
  • More Personalization

Be prepared to see other enhancements like a new turbo mode and a Control-Net-like feature

📅 Estimated Release: 1–2 months

Let’s see how to use the new “Change AR” to change the aspect ratio of images.

Step 1: Select “Change AR”

After generating an image, select “Change AR” from the menu

You will be able to access a pop-up where you can change the aspect ratio of the image with the dragging bar.

Step 2: Select a spot to start

There will be three buttons that allow you to choose where to extend your image from “Start, Center, or End”.

Step 3: Darg to adjust the ratio

The bar below allows you to drag freely to adjust the ratio.
