Breaking Midjourney News! (thread with my quick tests)
From Midjourney:
1) We're testing a version 5.1 image system
V5.1 is more opinionated (like V4) and is MUCH easier to use with short prompts
...
There is an 'unopinionated' mode for V5.1 (similar to V5.0 default) called "RAW Mode"
Don't worry V5 is still available (as before)
Other changes in V5.1 vs V5.0
Higher coherence
- More accuracy to text prompts
- Fewer unwanted borders or text artifacts
- Improved sharpness
How to enable V5.1:
Go to /settings and click "V5.1" (on the second row) or type--v 5.1 after your prompt
For RAW mode, click the RAW Mode button under /settings (after clicking V5.1) or type --style raw
I'm comparing these closeup photos because I have a recent baseline for them.
First thoughts: the images look sharper and (more opinionated??)
Midjourney is down for scheduled maintenance. I'll test the raw mode tomorrow.
Also, disturbing news!
I ran out of fast hours!!
Here are the raw versions for each.
Looks like the v5.1 is the sharpest. Just from these first few images anyway.
