Instructor: Let's review some of the major changes
in Midjourney version 6.
In the settings, you'll notice that it is already set
as your default model.
Note that it is labeled alpha,
which means it can be changed without notice.
First, we notice an increase in photorealism accuracy
of details and overall quality.
Take these pictures as an example.
We use the same prompt with version 5.2 and version 6.
Although both versions produce wonderful images,
version 6 has improved overall quality
and maintains a high level of detail,
even in the background.
We also see better language understanding,
which allows for a simplified prompting structure.
It supports longer phrases,
but still works well with short prompts.
Additionally, it has the ability
to include more details in the prompts.
Let's see some examples.
Here, we have two women in a cafe,
one with red hair and leather clothes,
and the other wearing a suit.
The image from version 5.2 looks awesome,
but it misses some details.
In contrast, version 6 captures more accurate details,
like the hair and clothes.
In these other examples
of an old lady having breakfast at a diner,
we see that version 6 looks much more realistic
and of higher quality.
There are now two upscaling options:
upscale subtle, and upscale creative.
The subtle option generates a higher resolution image
very similar to the original,
while the creative option takes some liberties
with composition or pose.
Seed consistency in version 6 appears more reliable
than in previous versions.
This means you can generate a series of images
that are all variations on the same theme.
Let's take this picture of a cat on a tree in watercolor
using this seed,
and here, we can compare the consistency
between Midjourney 5.2 and how version 6 does much better.
Another improvement is the ability to generate images
with text by placing it within quotation marks.
For example, if you prompt a man
with a yellow suit holding a "free hugs" sign
with free hugs in quotation marks,
you will get an image with that text.
This feature enhances the accuracy of generating text.
These are the major updates in Midjourney version 6,
bringing enhanced photorealism,
improved language understanding, and new upscaling options.
