Midjourney Updates

Midjourney made several huge updates by bringing back some of our favorite features from version 5(v5) to use in version 6 (v6):

• V6 supports Vary Region, Pan, and Zoom in Discord and web app (no Vary Region on the web)

• Pan is more like Zoom and easier to use with better results

• You can use Pan with Vary, Remix, or Upscale - "doesn't infinitely increase resolution"

Here’s the new layout on the Alpha website:

But Midjourney in Discord has Vary Region and more Zoom options, including Custom Zoom and Make Square:

Overall, there are positives to generating on the alpha website, including:

• Smart folders for organization

• Enhanced /describe features

• Smooth and fast layout

It's much easier to use the features on the website, compared to Discord.

You can generate images on the alpha website if you have at least 5k images on Midjourney, which is half of the previous 10k requirement.

To check your totals, enter "/info" in Discord, and the alpha site is NOT the same as the new Midjourney website.

If you have 5,000 images generated in Midjourney, access the new alpha site here: MJ alpha

Niji 6 is here!

To use Niji 6, you need to add '--niji 6' at the end of your prompt, or '/settings' and choose Niji 6 on the dropdown menu. Niji 6 has a 'stronger style' than previous versions.

You can use '--style raw' for less influence. Other 'style' parameters such as, ‘—style expressive’ or ‘style scenic’ aren't compatible:

Pan, Zoom, and Vary Region are not available for Niji 6 right now. That includes Discord and the Midjourney Alpha site:

Overall, I had to re-roll a few times to get more quality results, compared to Midjourney V5 or V6.

But I had better generations than previous Niji versions.

If you don't have a prompt to run, just use any prompt and add 'niji 6' to experiment. You might like the results!

Here are a few examples of my first Niji 6 results:
