3 min readMar 16, 2023
It’s here. Well, the alpha.
The Midjourney team has just announced the alpha release of their much-awaited v5 algorithm, and it promises to be a game-changer for artists and designers alike! With this alpha test, Midjourney aims to improve upon their previous iterations and deliver an even more powerful, flexible, and user-friendly creative tool.
Here are some of the new features in the Midjourney v5 alpha:
- Enhanced stylistic range and responsiveness to prompts, giving users greater control over the output.
- Dramatically improved image quality with a 2x resolution increase, better dynamic range, and more accurate details.
- Enhanced performance for image prompts, seamlessly integrating text and visual inputs.
- Experimental support for seamless tiling ( — tile) and aspect ratios greater than 2:1 ( — ar).
- New options for weighing image prompts versus text prompts ( — iw).
Here’s some of the v5 images I quickly generated:
So far it’s looking very promising.
